The Newtown bee., 1893-11-10

pride of this town is the WatcrtOWn ag~ riCutural and horse association, which was founded in 1867. Just 10 years ago the fair was incorporated under the pres cut name. This fair has long stood at the head among the cattle shows of this state. It has always eXcelied in the fine cattle exhibited. For d number of years the fair had poor weather and money was lost. Last year the association came out about even and this year tritle behind
 The association has a debt of $1500, but its ii lc property, gj ound~, buildings, etc, stand it in at about $S0O0. Some of the members of the association, feel some what discouraged over the bad luck of recent years and would favor giving up the fair. But it i> not likely that the pro- gressiVc, W idle awake members. would consent to this. The fair has done much to help Wat"rtoWn farmers in a way, and is benefit to the town and sur rounding towns. About 5000 is cx- pended in premiums, a large amount. The association is fortunate in having an efficient and wide awake president, sec retaTy and treasurer in the persons of William G. French, A. II. Scovill and Howard NJ. IIickox. A great deal of work naturally falls on these officers. and they have fulfilled their duties tc the great satisfaction of all.
