A CHURCH AGRICULTURAL FAIR
The P~resbyterians Are Getting Up
a Novel Marriage Between Church
and County Fair.
A List Of the Premiums Offered for
Agricultural Products by Lead
ing Merchants.

and ii King Solomon had lived in these
times he would have hesitated before he
put himself on record as saying that
there was nothing new under the sun
The latest device of the enterprising
ladies of the Presbyterian church to en-
terrain the public and incidentally raise
some revenue for the church is to hold
a fair which is to be a sort of a cross
between the old fashioned county fair
and a church fair. The old Puritan
forefathers of the Presbyterian church
used to look with horror and aversion on
the county fairs of their day as sinks Of
a~bomination and iniquity, but the world
moves, and the present project meets
with great favor, and it will no doubt
serve the landable purpose Of increasing
the interest in agriculture as well as
replenishing the treasury of the church
The following is the list of premiums
Two or three have not yet been filled
