"The County Fair"


 "The County Fair" which made such an impression here last year, will come to the opera house Monday night. "The County Fair" as it's title suggests, is a story of the country. Its scene of action is laid in New England, and it's characters are as true to life as a rag weed by dusty road. It is described as Imaginable and bright comedy, with an excellent dramatic flavor, and with just enough dramatic interest to keep the mind from dwelling entirely on the COWS, horses and haymakers."
