DATES OF BIG FAIRS.
Unless Change is Made Will Be Held at the
Same Time.

The Eastern Maine State fair and the
Lewiston fair will be held this year on
the same dates. August 80 and 81 and
Sept. /, 2, and >. This statement was
dent Beal of the Eastern Maine State
Fair Association on Wednesday,. The
Lewiston fair people have acted rather
queerly about naming the dates for their
fair. 1t has always been the custom to
hold the Eastern Maine fair beginning
the Tuesday nearest the first day of Sep
TENDER and the Lewiston fair has fol-
lowed the next week. so that all of the
exhibitors and those who had horses in
the races could go from Bangor to Lew
iston and thus save expense. Two years
ago., or when the Eastern Maine Fair As
ISOLATION was in litigation. Mr.. Beal said
the date of holding the fair was not de-
cided until late and the Lewiston people
jumped in and took the dates upon which
the Bangor fair had always been held
ever since it's organization.
Last year., Mr.. Beal said he thought he
would have no misunderstanding about
the dates. so before the 1896 exhibition
advertising matter that the fair for 1S9!
in Bangor would be held on August 30.
81. and Sept. i. 2 and 3.
The Lewiston people now come out and
say hat these dates are theirs and that
the Bangor Association has no right to
hold its exhibition at that. time: Presi-
dent Beal says it will be held just the
same. Mr.. Beal stated to the reporter
that he had written the trustees of the
Lewiston Association that he would like
to meet them and talk the matter over
and see if satisfactory dates could no.
be made for both exhibitions. The trus-
tees nave held two meetings in Bangor
since he wrote the letter but he was not
asked to confer with them. The Lewis
ton fair is attended every year by many
people from northern and eastern Maine,
ard if the two fairs are held at the same
time. this year. many of these people
will doubtless come to Bangor.-Bangor

Cold Weather
Catarrh.

Though the d~isagreeab1e effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
d~isagreeable weather ~aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that
becomes firmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only cold at
first, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
dificultto cure, and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken;theymark the FIRST appearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which it is impossible
to cure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
a disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. SIS. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A.. Williams, a leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:
