The question has been asked wheth-
er the regulations in regard to the fair
admit ladies free for the first two days
of the fair, who bring meritorious ar
ticles for exhibition. The managers
announce that all who bring such
articles for exhibition in floral
hall, will be entitled to free admission.
Owing to a misprint, as heretofore
published, it was stated that teams
would be admitted free to fair ground
on the two first days of the fair: it
should have stated that they would
be admitted on first day, not the
gers from the grounds will be charged
admittance on all days of the fair.

one of the warmest of the season with

erty has been great. Meanwhile the
corn crop has been ripening off and
promises to be the greatest in the his
tory of the country.
Henry Gay, who is doing a quiet,

wear holes instead of good cloth. 1t
will pay you to read the advertisement
and to drop in and see Mr.. Gay and
his goods.
