THE COMING FAIR.
IT PROMISES TO BE A GREAT sucoEs


 IT PROMISES TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS, The time is fast drawing near for the Agricultural fair, Wednesday, October 10, at the Town hall, and everyone seems greatly interested. This certainly is just the sentiment that should be shown throughout the town, and people ould not "be backward about coming for ward" with their exhibits, whatever the nature of them may be. Exhibitors will please bear in mind the following facts : All exhibits, if possible must be brought to the hall the preceding day {, October 9, that they may be arranged, thus avoiding unnecessary confusion the day following.
 All tags for exhibits will be furnished at the hall. It is requested that pota- toes, apples, pears, etc., be brought in half dozen lots, or thereabout, to be ar ranged on wooden plates, which will be provided at the hall. Or, if preferred, potatoes and other more bulky vegeta- bles may be brought in peach baskets, thus making more uniformity in the dis play. Corn should be arranged in brads of a half dozen ears.
 Exhibitors of poultry and dogs will please provide suitable boxes for them. The procession of oxen, decorated carts, etc., will be at 930 a. m., and it is probable that a drawing contest will be arranged for the oxen at that time.
 A convenient enclosure will be pro- vided for the accommodation of the cat tie.
 The ladies' industrial feature of the fair promises to be interesting, and it is hoped there may be a large showing of fancy work.
 Refreshments of a substantial nature will be on sale throughout the day. An appetizing bill of fare may be expected to choose from, and everyone may be as- sured of good treatment in this direc- tion.
