jackson Town Fair.

The editor suggests that report OF
town fair at this time is to be classed with
other ancient literature, but as the mate
rial for report has for some time been
lying upon our desk, neglected by reason
of press of other business, we feel that it is
but justice to the several persons interest
ed that they shall see the matter in print.
er that at certain times much has to be
put aside for the present that he would
like to do that day. If he is prompt to
act, diligent in business, and uses his in
telligence to the advantage, he can, how
ever, ''ketch up when sight slack comes
The man fit to be farmer, however, never
sees a time when there is not something
that it will pay him to do. He will never
see day when he needs to be absolutely
idle, or when he cannot attend to some
thing that will pay him good return for
his labor. But this is not telling about
the Jackson Town Fair, which by the way
is usually good one and credit to the
town. Jackson has some good live, pro
gressive farmers, who have a commend
able pride in their business and take spec
ial interest in bringing along the best of
their stock and produce, and with their
families all dressed in store clothes come
out to see and be seen. Through the
