present for the success of our Fair in
every way. Although the season has
been late, Providence bids fair to in.
vert the horn of Cornucopia and pour
into our granaries bountifuI harvests
and make glad the heart and plethoric
the purse of the yeoman, and, this
being the case, the merchant, the
artisan and all classes of our popula-
tion win reap benefits and will gladly
lend their aid in making the meeting
a success.
