q. A. R. Fair.

daily issue will be made largely given to advertising, but with good share of items of interest mostly connected with the fair. There will be six issues of 1000 copies each, and it's value to advertisers can be readily computed.
 Next week opers the fair, beginning on Monday and running six evenings. This | is everybody s fair. It is to help provide the talked of memorial building, to be monument to Statford's soldiers, also a home for the town library, which it is then hoped to make free public library, and to provide quarters for the G. A. R post, historical society rooms, museum of relics, etc. All of this is understood and needs no explanation. The proposed ex- pense is about $10. 1000, exclusive of site. Ii more money is raised the plan can be elaborated $1 900 was raised by the last fair, and about $500 more is in sight With the proceeds of this fair, it is hoped to gain for the project momentum that will accelerate the growth of the scheme. Let every one aid to give it 8 good start.
 A supper will be served each evening with change of menu, also each evening a different entertainment will be put upon the stage. An interesting feature will be museum of relics of the war, etc. Fan cy articles, ornamental and useful, will be sold at several booths, and valuable arti- cles disposed of by vote or guess, but noth- ing in the way of lottery will be intro dueed
 It will be noted that since the bills have been put out it has been decided to reduce the admission price to 15 cents.
 The entertainments will be as follows and in the following order: The assembly will sound at 8 p. m. each evening. On Monday evening occurs the formal open ing by the warden ard bu"gesses of the borough, followed by band concert.

Tickets for sale at the door, The hall will be open at o'clock. ;, Watch for the ''Fair Notes" on Saturday and every day next week. A freman's badge will be voted to the most popular fIeman.
 It is very gratifying to the managers of the fair to to be able to report, as they do, that the hberality of the people is such that they will open the fair with all the expenses provided for, and with g hand some balance to their credit besides, so that every penny taken in during the fair will go toward the building fund. It, therefore, ought to be largely patronized, and we are certain that it will be. -.,
 The advance sale of tickets indicates that people are expecting good thing at The Kindergarten at Oronoco Hall, Friday evening. The management authorizes this expectation by an offer to refund the money to dissatisfied patrons. The Kin. dergarden is a musical comedy, written by R. G. Morris of the New York Herald, and judging by what our local exchanges say is leaving behind it ripping wake of laughter. It requires large company of good singers and actors to bring it out and carries with it first class band and orches- tra Tickets are on sale at Abel's.
 A dance is to be attended at Borough hall, Saturday evening. Sundays snow storm was the heaviest fall of the season and made capital sleigh ing again. To-day signs are of rain thaw. WEST STAFFORD. .
