The oxford County Agricultural So
ciety has voted to hold its annual fair ut
South Paris on Sept. H. Is and 10.
The announcement that the corn factory
at Unity would be operated another sea
son has been gratifying one to the far
mers of that vicinity.
S. j. Elwell of West Auburn plant d
last spring one halfpound of potatoes and
raised from the same 20 pounds. This is
at the rate of 40 bushels from n bushci
of seed.
G. b. Pillsbury, one of Unity's pro
gressive farmers, raised more than 400
bushels of grain; Sl30 worth of sweet
corn ;cut some 80 tons of hay, besides other
crops the past season.
The officers of Penobscot County Agri
cultural Society have been elected for the
ensuing year, and as number of them
are residents of Old Town, it is probable
that the fair of the association will be held
in that city again this year.

" killed three hogs whose combined
wv
the largest one tipping the scale at 625
pounds. Mr.. Hamilton has raised n num-
Der of fine porkers the past year.
On eight adjacent farms in Fort Fair
field were raised this year IA, 800 barrels
of potatoes. $500 bushels of grain and 500
tons of hay The owners of these farms

Star Herald (Presque Islo): Messrs.
Phair & Bolton have something over co.
900 barrels of potatoes stored in their po-
tato houses in North Aroostook. Other
dealers are also holding heavy stocks, and
the farmers have the bulk of their crop
still in their cellars. There are lots of
potatoes to go into market from Aroos-
took, and some active movement in that
direction will have to commence before
much later day
Pittsfield Advertiser: The East Somer-
set Agricultural Society of Hartland, has
existed since 1882. and for 81 years has
had annual exhibitions paying purses
and premiums In full This is an honor
able record cqualcd by few if any of the
agricultural societies in Maine. Through
untavorable weather during the past few
years and large improvements the society
now finds itself quite heavily in debt, and
an effort is being made to fund this debt
among the 175 life members, which will
probably be successful.

following officers Were elected: President.

A Great Tobacco War.

From the Atlanta journal.
A big fight is on between the
Tobacco Trust, $50, OOO,O 900 capital,
and combination of eighteen great
manufacturers of plug tobacco
whose combined capital is estimated
as between $4O,OOO,eOO and $780,
100000.
The trouble arose over the action
of the trust in entering the plug
tobacco business. Recently it has
been giving away samples of new
brand of plug which it offers at q
very low price and this enterprise
has aroused the wrath of the plug
tobacco manufacturers. They pro
pose to meet the attack on their
business by giving away cigarettes.
A meeting was held in New York
last Wednesday at which eighteen of
the largest plug tobacco firms in the
world were represented. The Lori
lards are the only great tobacco
concern not involved in one side or
the other of this conquest, but their
moral support will be thrown to the
new combination. The Tobacco
Trust has made several attemps to
buy the LOrillard plant.
It is believed that there will he war
to the knife between these two
gigantic combinations. With one
giving away plug tobacco and the
other cigarettes impecunious chewers
and smokers will have reason to
rejoice over the feud.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
8. III. Ford, and Mrs Jackson, Divorced
Daughter of Sam Small.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 11.-Stew-
art 81. Ford, of this city, and Mrs.
Lola Small Jackson, only daughter
of Rev. Sam Small, the celebrated
evangelist editor, were married at
St. Paups Episcopal church in this
city Monday afternoon at 5 O'Clock
by Rev. Hartley Carmichael, the
pastor.
The marriage is romantic in the
extreme. Mrs Jackson was di,
vorced about thirteen months ago
from her former husband, Mr..
James R. Jackson, of Knoxville,
Tenn, to whom she was married
three years ago, and has little 2
Year>old girl as result of her forms
er marriage. Since her divorce she
has been living with her father, who
is now editing prohibition paper in
Norfolk. She has been at Old Point
Comfort for two weeks, and last
Monday was introduced to Mr.. Ford
there. An affinity soon sprang up
between them, and on Thursday they
became engaged. Mr.. Ford urged
an early marriage and Mrs. jackson
consented yesterday to marry him
to-day. Accordingly they came to
Richmond on the early morning
train and in the presence of two
friends of the groom, were made
husband and wife.

Many Marked Departures in Coming

From the Washington Postl
Fashions for the coming winter

departures from the styles of the
past few months. and not the least

these the over part of the skirt is
loop d up so that petticoat shows
all around. The petticoat may be
short enough to snow high. red
heeled slippers and their big instep
ro-ettes. The over part of the gown
is one with the bodice, and is made
in big Powered silk; the petticoat a
contrasting satin. The neck is cut
square, the sleeves are close fitting
over the shoulder, and below the
elbow are finished with friil that
sets out jauntily. A fichu may be

ETIQUETTE.

A Bride Elect Entertains Her Girl Friends
With Feasting and Flowers.
The prospective bridegroom s farewell
dinner to his bachelor friends is usually
very gay affair-perhaps on the prin-
ciple of "whistling to keep his courage
up"
The bride elect entertains girl friends
at luncheon and revives all the old in
nocent superstitions to add merriment
and interest to the occasion, notable
among them the ring baked in the cake,
the chance recipient of which will be
first to wear the orange blossoms.
A bit of fairyland seemed to have
strayed into our prosaic nineteenth CEN
fury and found temporary Judgment in
dining room last week, where veri-
table tsfeast of roses,'' described by the
Chicago Record, was spread The occa-
sion was the announcement of the en-
gagement of the young hostess. AS was
proper, everything was 'tcouleur de
rose''-even the light in which the
guests saw each other was of that fiat
tering tint, since it was stained through
the medium of dainty candle shades
formed wholly of pink silk rose petals.
The central "epergne, - holding 1us-
cious mass of bridesmaids roses, was
laid Oh circle of filmy, transparent
boiling cloth, the edge of which was
embroidered with a wreath of pink roses
of natural size and varied shades. Even
the salt was contained Sin the heart of
a rose"-tiny little porcelain affairs
originally intended for caEdlesticks, but
now appropriately used for the symbol
of hospitality. Dresden eupids, in pretty
and artistic poses, held dishes filed
with candied rose leaves and heart shap-
ed cakes covered with pink icing.
A wreath of paper roses surrounded
the drop light above the table; the La
dies names were written on rose petals
(of cardboard), the sorbet was in the
form of pink roses and favored with the
cordial 'parfait amour while the ice
cream repeated the design and was serv-
ed in garden hat of straw colored can
dy wreathed with natural roses. The
human flowers around the table against
such background of sweetness and
light made the scene one to be remem-
bered
A contrast to the foregoing (Which
was perhaps rather suggestive of lam
gours and luxury, was a dainty, prim
little luncheon, where the table decora-
tions were all of soft blue and white
The centerpiece held duets and "mar-
guerites'' afield, and the service was
entirely of blue and white delft china,
