THE COUNTY FAIR.

Tho Hartford Fair will De held this
year earlier than usual, the last two
days of September and the first of
October This change of date will
bring the fair at II more seasonable
time and will give better satisfaction
generally.
Every effort is being made by those
in charge to make the fair a success,
and it is likely that this year will see
the most successful fairfield in Hartford
County for many years.
There is no reason why Hartford
should not have us good II County
fair as any other County in the State.
Her natural sources are great, and
her farmers are among the most thrifty
to be found anywhere. We believe
that heretofore many of the best farm
products have not been exhibited at
all. and that Hartford farmers can
make much better showing If they
will only begin in time and take
pride in the exhibit made by the
County. Now is the time for those
who will make exhibits to be thinking
of this and to prepare for the display
to be made several months hence.
BY making all possible arrangements
in advance, there will be less liability
of some urgent work at the last mo-
ment keeping you from sending i'll
your exhibits.
Every resident of the County is
interested directly or indirectly i'll the
success of the fair. Every land owner
is interested in the showing made,
many strangers visit the county at
this time and the impression made
then often leads to results not an
ticipated. Let each resident of the
county determine to do his or her
share to make the County Fair this
wear a great success. 1t can be done
and it will be, if you each determine
individually to do what you can.
The attention of the public is be-
ing called almost daily to what are
APPARENTLY new acquisitions to the
ranks of the monopolist organs. How
well the fake is worked can be seen
by the declaration made last week by
that sturdy old advocate of Demo
cratic principles, the Deld1CaFe C0uH-
tn Democrat published at Chester. 1t
says: "Outs.de of Philadelphia we
do not know of single Democratic
paper that has refused to support
Bryan and SewalI, nor inside of Phila-
delphia either, for the Record and
Times have never claimed to be party
organs, but independent"
William Jennings Bryan, Demo
cratic candidate for the United States
will start on his tour of the eastern
States next Monday and will receive
formal notification of his nomination
at Madison Square Garden, New York
on Tuesday, Aug. IL. He will pass
through Canton, the home of Mr..
Mckinley, the Republican nominee,
on the way, and the Democrats of
that town are trying to arrange to
have him stop over and speak. Mr.
Bryan will no doubt, speak in Balti-
more later in the campaign.
If the Republican party shall be
restored to the control of the govern
ment its representatives and leaders
will inevitably claim that the Ameri-
can people have Endorsed all its avow
ed policies and will proceed to legis-
late accordingly 1t will be too late
then for disaffected Democrats to rise
and protest that they did not vote for
high tariff Administration, but only
for a sound money Administration. y

The Fresh Air Society of Balti-
more has had three hundred more
homes offered for children than it has
funds to send the children. This is Il
fine commentary on the liberality OF
the country people, To board and
keep within bounds one of these city
youngsters is much more expense and
trouble thau to contribute one dollar
and a half, the necessary funds to send
out child.
-Tnere is an OLD adage that mis-
fortunes never come singly. ut seems
that it has been fulfilled to the letter
in Maryland recently. The number
OF violent deaths, either by murder or
suicide, is increasing amazingly. One
cannot pick up the daily paper with
out seeing chronicled there some
tale of crime in its worst form, that of
murler.
One of the strongest arguments for
the mass of voters that Bryan is the
candidate who stands for their in
terests is the way the millionaires and
other large money holders are rushing
in to support Mckinley, regardless of
party lines.
AT an election held at Bruins wick,
Md, last Monday, the silver Demo
Gratis had a walkover, electing the
Mayor, and three out of the four
