CALEDONIA COUNTY.
The fair that is to be held at Lyn-
donville Sept. 25 and 26 has every pro-
spect of being one of the most inter
esting exhibitions ever held under the
auspices of the Northern Caledonia
Fair Association.
In connection with the fair on the
first day there is to be reunion OF
the soldiers of the rebellion, which
promises to be very interesting af-
fair
Also on the first day there will be a
tournament of all band organizations
in the county, in which there is prize
of $50 for the band making the best
appearance. This is a new feature
and will naturally be great attract
ion.
Preparations are being made for
several bicycle races, together with
the horse races.
Another new feature is that of the
guessing contest. A steer is to be
furnished and people may guess on
his weight for the small sum of 10
cents, the one guessing nearest to
own the steer.

one, or of all who had to do with it,
the republicans are in a sweatsover
the matter of official ballots for the
coming election, and some are trying
to place the blame on others. This
is useless amusement. Somebody
blundered, that's all, and now the
work of remedying the trouble is at
hand and the republican voters should
study their lessons we'll and be pre-
pared to "write imp and properly
check the names of the candidates
whom they wish to vote for. 1t is not
a difficult task.
