SOUTH COUNTY FAIR.
Successful Op:ning at the West
Kingston Grounds.



The opening OF the oath annual Wash
ington County agricultural fair at
West Kingston, which occurred yes
terday. proved to be. as usual,
most successful affair, and the attend
ance OF the South county farmers with
their families was very large, while
there was most fattering attendance
from all the surrounding towns and
villages, and by the time the far had
formally opened there were thousands
within the enclosure.
The cattle. sheep. swine, poultry, ag-
ricultural, horticultural and domestic
exhibits are very well filled indeed, and
these features OF the old-time agricul-
tural fair evidently met with hearty
appreciation from the many farmers
and their wives. A very fine display Is
also made by the Peacedale Manufac-
turing Company, but this, while greats
ly admired. strongly recalled the fact
that the man who had for years been
the controlling spirit of the fair, the
late Rowland G.. Hazard, was missing.
The fair was formally opened at 10
o'clock, with an open-air concert by
the Citizens Band of Peacedale, after
which a vaudeville entertainment was
commenced, in which the leading feat
ures were Bouvier brothers, bicycle
riders; Batcheler & Morse. trick pam
tomimists; Louis Beaulier. acrobatic
work, and troupe of colored singers
and dancers. all very clever people.
Owing to the war tax there were very
few fakirs on the grounds this year,
but this did not seem to be cause or
regret to anybody. The few who ven-
tured to come did a good business. The
judges commenced their examination
on the ge.dings and fillies at IL o'clock
yesterday morning, and the work of
judging the other exhibits will be con-
tinued until they are all completed.
Like every other county fair one OF
the leading feature was the trotting
and this consisted OF free to the
county race, a free TO ALL 2:37 class.
The horses were in good condition and
some of the finishes were quite lively.

Against Her Husband.
SHE IS SEEKING DIVORCE.
Defendant In Suit Now Serving In

from her husband. Hugh X. Norman.

that he has deserted her since Novem-
ber last. when they were abroad. The
case has not yet been answered by Mr..

teer lieutenant on the Glacier it is pos
sible that the officers may not be able
to perform service upon him, I'm which
event the case will go over to another
term
Mr.. Norman is the son of George III.
Norman OF Newport and Boston. His
older brother. GeorgeH. Norman. Jr.,

dali OF Gloucester, Mass, daughter of a

ingly pretty woman, and has been a
great favorite in society since her mar
riage. Mr.. Norman met her when he
was in Gloucester constructing the
water works.
The announcement that Mrs. Norman
is seeking a divorce will be great sur
prise to society generally. Mr.. and Mrs.
Norman have lived with Mr.. and Mrs.

IL years ago.

OUR FLAGS CROSSED.

Mr.. Bob Tyus, who is making
his home in Toronto, Canada,
writes W. A. Mccartney a postal
card, the wording of which is as
follows: ''l'his is how we stand.
There is nothing significant in this
but the postal card, which has
stamped on it "private" has on the
back or addressing side, printed in
colors, the stars and stripes and
England's flag crossed, underneath
of which are two Goddesses of lib
erty, represented as reclining on
shields OF their respective countries
with the lion and eagle in easy
reach, and background of war
ships in the distance. Underneath
al of this we read, Glori Mundi.
We must confess that this is the
first time we have ever seen a rep
resentation of the two flags in
touch with one another, and we
wonder now why such has not long
been the case, as England is almost
as democratic as we, barring its ar
istocracv and the determination il
has shown to swing on to titles OF
its nobility. All of this will pass
away in time and we will yet be on
good terms with our mother coun.
