Fair Notes.

Last Saturday the tide began to set in of humanity, poultry, provisions and the various other things that flood the town during fair week. Monday, incoming trains were loaded with express, and the paraphernalia of the ground renters gave the expressmen plenty of exercise. Tues day the streets were crowded with teams, and the familiar slogan, Right away to the fair grounds" was heard high above all the other noises of the street. The weather Tuesday was suggestive of April, both in warmth and the possibility of showers. This did not prevent the people from taking a chance, and the arrivals of pleasure seekers, fakIrs, horsemen, ex- hlbitors and vaudeville stars made things lively at the grounds. The midway has a familiar appearance. The merry -go-round Is in It's old location, and there will be no trouble for those who wish to indulge in a hot dog sandwich, an oyster supper. or a glass of the popular New England bev- craze right from the barrel, as the mid way Is lined with tents where these lus-
 
 cured. Those who wish to ring the canes, throw the base balls or turn the pointers around are also carefully provided for. The poultry hall Is lined on three sides with tier on tier of fowls of the usual va- rieties. This department has gained a wide reputation for its excellence, and this year is better than ever.
 HALL EXHIBITION.
 The horticultural exhibit gives prom ise of being very good indeed.
 Several of the pumpkins are over fifty pounds In weight. The principal potato exhibitors are c. Bradley of Ellington and O. Eaton of Holland. c. Brooks and o. Eaton of Holland are large ex- hibitors of apples. In addition, there is the usual variety of grain and seed ex- hiblts, making in all a good horticultural show.
 The merchants' and fancy articles por- tion' of the hall Is also very attractive. The fancy work Is mostly fine needle work of a high degree of excellence. There Is also a nice exhibit of art work in pastels, crayons, oils and water colors.
 Tuesday the attendance was about las usual for the first'day. Although the at- tendance was not large, the full vaude- vile program was put on. The platfoI m attractions this year are unusually inter- esting, and there Is enough of 1t to please the most enthusiastic admirer of this class of entertainment.

Space will not per- init us to speak of the many interesting or thrilling acts of this department, but a word must be said for the Kramers, the trick bicyclists.

The PeCuIiarities of This
World.
No Name ON Earth So Famous
No Name More Widely Initiated.

No name on earth, perhaps, Is so well known,
more peculiarly constructed more widely initiated
than the word DODD. 1t possesses a popularity
that makes 1t stand out prominently and fastens IL
in the memory. 1t contains four letters, but only
two letters of the alphabet. Everyone knows that
the first kidney remedy patented sold In pill
form named DODDS. Their discovery startled
the medical profession the world over, and revolu-
tionzed the treatment of kidney diseases,
No imitator has succeeded In constructing name
possessing the pecuharity of DODD. though they
nearly all adopt names similar possible In
sound and construction TO this. Their foolishness
prevents them realizing that attempt TO initiate in
creases the fame of Dodds Kidney Pills.
Why Is the name "Dodd's Kidney Pills. initiated? ?
AZ we'll ask why diamonds and gold initiated.
Because diamonds are the most precious gems, gold
the most precious metal. Dodd's Kidney Pills are
initiated because they are the most valuable medi-
cine the world has ever known.
No medicine named kidney pills till years
Of medical research gave Dodd's Kidney Pills 10 the
world. No medicine ever cured Brght's disease ex-
cept Dodd's Kidney Pills. No other medicine has
cured many cases of Rheumatism, Diabetes, Lum-
bago, Heart Disease, Dropsy, Female Weakness and
other kidney diseases Dodd's Kidney Pills have.
II Is universally known that they have never failed
to these diseases, hence they are 80 widely and
shamelessy initiated.
