LOCAL AFFAIRS.
The Newtown Fair.

TIME TO LAY YOUR PLANS FOR THE FALL.
The annual fair of 1898 will be the
third to be held by the Newtown Agri-
cultural Society and it is the desire of
the management, with the aid of the pee
Pile, to make it even bigger exhibition
Ehan the last two. The NewtOwn Fair
has already gained for itself an enviable
reputation among the annual fairs of
Connecticut. This is due partly to the
situation, being right in the center of a
large and rich agricultural community
where the people are determined to raise
nothing but the best. This was shown
by the exhibits made for the past two
years. In quality the display OF vegeta-
bles, fruits and live stock was unsur-
passed by any fair In the state and the
tine display of fancy work shown in the
main building will not soon be forgotten.
1t is none to early for intending exhibit
| ors to begin preparations now. Let ev-
cry one who can possibly do so produce
something to bring to the fair. 1t may
now and then happen that some one will
| find fault with the regulations OF the
| fair. The society does not desire to be
unjust with any of the exhibitors. Ii
| there are any who think there are defects
| in the rules let them present the matter
to the managers and they will make il
right before the date Of the coming fair

II Looked Bad.

A certain young lady against whom
appearances certainly looked dark once
had an amusing experience Of unjust
judgment. She went out on stormy
day and was unfortunate enough to
have her umbrella turned inside out.
Her two sisters were equally unlucky,
and on the following day the young
lady volunteered to take the three UNI
bellas to be repaired.
Promising to call for them before she
returned home in the afternoon, she
went about her business, part of which
was to do some shopping in large city
establishment. On rising to leave the
shop she mechanically put out her hand
to take possession Of an umbrella that
was close by. 1t looked like her own,
and for the moment she had forgotten
the accident. She was coon brought to
her senses.
THAT is my umbrella, " said sharp
voice at her side, and hand was laid
On her arm to detain her.
Apologizing for her thoughtlessness,
she left the shop, did the rest Of her
business and called for her umbrellas.
In the street car she met an indignant
pair of eyes. Where had she seen them
before? They scanned first her face and
then the burden she carried. "Three Of
theml" muttered the owner Of the eyes,
and it was evident that she referred TO
the umbrellas. "Threel She's din no
bad the day"
AS she spoke she grasped her own
umbrella tightly and moved farther
away from the dangerous young lady.
The color camo into the checks Of the
latter. The speaker was her friend u
the morning, and she evidently believed
that the umbrellas had been stolen. =
