THROUGH THE NorCH.

The most delightful trip that can
be made in September is a trip
through the world-famous White
Mountain Notch. Last Friday I'VE
editor" was one of small party
that left here at a. M, assembled
Mt. Willard in the morning. dined at
the Crawford House, went down
through the Notch in the afternoon,
and reached St. Johnsbury again at
$50 p. m. The day was perfect and
it was voted by all to be one of the
best short tours ever made. Such
trip can be varied in every way, but
it is worth making if mountain.
scenery is worth anything at all
At Hazen's Junction we were in
formed that the Grafton and Coos
County Changers would hold fair
there Oct. 4, 5 and 6. A new half
mile track has just been completed
and the prospects for the first fair of
this association are very good.
Mt. Washington's lofty summit
was in sight almost all the time.
The search light is still the chief
topic of conversation and arrange
ments have been made for giving the
daily wea Tier forecasts from the top
of Mt. Washington by means of the
search light. This will be of no adj
vantage whatever to our locality,
but people living within reasonable
distance of the mountain will ap-
preciate the new departure in the
line of weather signals. The service
began on Monday night of this
week
Just below the notch is the siding
of the Saco Valley Lumber Co. Two
and one-half miles OF this railroad are
already built and the company
began to load logs this week.
Eventually the road will be built
four miles up the valley. The major
ity of this company's stock is owned
in ST. Johnsbury, c. H. Stevens and
L. D. Hazen each owning third
interest. Success to the new lumber
company.

elected by four majority.
There will be a scarcity of demo-

alive in this state, in spite of the new
system of voting.
Craftsbury had II ballots for re-
preventative, and finished work at
$50 on Wednesday evening; Grover
also ballotted II times.

politics of this county, says the Bar

IN FLORAL HALL.

There was a good deal to see and
admire in Floral Hall, and the ar
rangement of exhibits was such that
articles could be easily seen. The
space allotted to some of the depart
ments was not crowded, but the hall
was, after all. we'll filled and the dis
play throughout very attractive.
Vegetables.
There was tempting display of
vegetables of every description, sug-
gest1ve OF many a toothsome dish,
and numerous and varied enough to
delight the heart of the most devoted
vegetarian. R. w. Laird can fairly
be said to have led in the exhibit, for
he had entered for premium 70 dis
t1nct varieties, besides 25 or 80
Others which were on exhibition
though not entered for premium his
display was a splendid one and
showed great degree of proficiency
in the cultivation OF vegetables of all
sorts. II. E. and D. Q. Woodruff
showed fine lot of potatoes, some
% varieties, besides excellent sam
pies of other vegetables. DIR. S. T.
Brooks was also a prominent ex-
hibitor in this department, giving
proof positive that he is an expert
gardener. ]. S. Bandy, w. F. Wood,
ii. R. White, L. 6. Smith, H. K. Morse
and Hazen Hyde and others made
creditable contributions to the vege.
table exhibit, Mr. White and Mr.
Bandy showing several fine varieties
of potatoes, and though their dis
plays were smaller than the others
the quality was 20. K"
Fruit
A. B. Goss made a fine spread o.
apples, some two dozen varieties A
L. and J. w. ellis did their part with
nearly 80 varieties; J. R. Galbraitt
showed some Is kinds, and Geo
Pettengill twelve kinds. The show
of apples occupied considerable space
and attracted its full share of atten
ton. This comprised all the fruit or
show, and it would seem that effort
might well be made to increase the
exhibits III this class.
Butter and Bread
The dairy exhibit included some
fine butter, such as this locality is

Notes of the Fair.
The street sprinkler did splendid
service between Railroad street and
the Fair Ground, laying the dust in
fine shape.
The band covered themselves with
glory as everybody knew they
would The crowd appreciated their
music, too.
The bicycle sulkies attracted lots of
attention and helped the fast horses
win their races. The wheels are al
most half as large as the old sulky
wheels and have ball bearings
and pneumatic tires. They are made
by the Columbia bicycle makers, the
the Pope Manufacturing Company
of Boston, and cost $50 set.
"Police Headquarters" was sign

This is new feature of the fair and

handy to know where the police are

find them Their work has been light

The ladies may well feel proud OF
their part in the fair.
The ChiIdren's Department.
This a feature of the fair that de-
serves encouragement, and while the
exhibits this year were not as numer-
Gus as last, there were about 200 Of
them. The boys and girls of Gale
donia county demonstrated their
skill at gardening and fancy work,
and some of the elder people will
find the youngsters IN the lead if they
do not look well to their laurels.
There were flowers raised by child
rem; there were pies and cakes and
jellies which showed that some ofthe
girls are being well trained in the
culinary branch of housekeeping !;
one Young lad showed 33 varieties
of beans, raised by himself; another
showed a beautiful collection of Cal
ifornia woods; some of the boys ex-
hibited specimens of their mechani-
cal genius; and the girls showed
many pieces of fancy work which
proved them experts with the needle.
1t was a very creditable exhibition
of what the young people of the farm
can do, and we hope Superintendent
Hastings will spare no pains to keep
this department of the fair in good
condition.
