appear TO have grown in favor each yeai
and this last was the most successful ot
the nineteen fairs. Some evil disposed
people have spread a report calculated te
nurt the fairs that may be held in the fu.

made to believe that society and fair were
to be moves to some other place. II was

bottled goods and of stuff in Jugs was
found apd confiscated. The captures were
made upon the hill roads leading into
town, the dealers having brought their
goods TO within a short distance of the
village and secreted them. Some dealers
were captured, tried and finsd. This sort
OF proceedings was not relished by them
and they predict that the fair will be a
