A GREAT FAIR.
We have had a "Dry Year.
and a ''TOtal Failure"
but the Fair is
BETTER THAN EVER.
Every Department Well Filled, and the
Show is Gratifying Indeed.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Somehow we didn't expect much
of Fair this year. 1t has been so
hot and dry and there has been so
much talk about the failure of crops
that it seemed hardly reasonable to
anticipate exhibits in any line, par
ticularly in the line of farm products,
that would be even fairly creditable.
But the unexpected has happened.
Instead of being the worst Fair it is
the best we have ever had. The
grand total of entries is not as great,
perhaps, as it has been in former
years, but that is largely because
people are not bringing inferior or
trivial things. Almost without ex-
ception the exhibits in all depart
ments have genuine merit. This is
particularly the case in the depart
ments of Agriculture and HOrticul-
ture, the very ones that were expected
to be weak. There never was better
corn than there is this year. And
Mr.. Pancoast says that the fruit show
is at least twice as good as it was
last year, the apples, peaches and
grapes being especially fine. The
live stock exhibit seems to US also to
be unusually large and fine. Certain
ly there are three times as many
sheep as usual, and some mighty fine
cattle and horses and hogs.
So the Fair is all right and the
high reputation already established
for it will be yet more exalted by the
splendid showing made this year.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The ladies say that the exhibit of
needle work this year is away beyond
anything ever shown before. Look
especially at those embroidered pinks
and thistles.
There is a District School exhibit
in the nain building by the pupils of
Belfry district that reflects great
credit on the teacher, Mrs. Anna Nc
Kinder.
Williamson & Son have a pretty
exhibit of harness and saddles in the
main building.
Mr.. Harmon has a beautiful dis
play of flowers, as usual. More
boomers than last year.

and the Brick Works occupy the

WHAT NEXT?

The proposition to issue $4,000 in
bonds for new school house was de-
feated at the election last Monday,
500 votes being cast for and % against
it.
1t being settled, therefore, that we
are to have no new school house this
year, the question now before the
house is What Next? The law re-
quires the school board to provide
school facilities for all the pupils of
the district between the ages of 5 and
q, and it provides severe penalties
for any failure to do so. 1t is con ced-
ed that there are 800 more children in
this district than there is now school
room for. Necessarily then, the
board must rent outside rooms. But
no money is provided for this expense
and the full limit of the law has been
already voted. The board cannot
lawfully go into debt. So there you
are. In order to observe one law they
must break another. At least that is
the way it looks now. The board
have not had time to meet yet, how
ever, and it may be that some genius
will find way out. In any event
we will know more next week when
the schools begin and the actual en-
rollment is shown.
1t is suggested that those who OPP
posed the bonds might be interested
in being present when the schools

The happy season of Christmas is
once more close upon US, destined to
bring joyfulness and mirth to millions
of hearts, but bitter sadness and a
sense of utter loneliness to the forlorn.
Heaven pity those who at this fes

still, possess neither home nor friends.

1t is nrQnestionable that our Christ

it is che survival of un-worship-one

and as ubiquitous as mankind. Who
