Failure of the Fair.

The Elkton fair held last week
was a fiat failure, as every person
who has kept tab on agricultural
thought knew in advance it would
be. The old fashioned agricultural
fair is out of date. Agricultural
machinery Of every kind is on exhi-
bition at every 8 by 10 village in
the State, by agents, and the farm
ers know all about the various i'm
plements from greatest to least and
will not attend fairs to see them.
Every live farmer or his neighbor
raises all kinds of vegetables and
fruit and every village green groc-
cry has them for sale in their sea-
son. Such things are not novelties
to the farmer of today. The Jersey
COW is in every pasture and regis
tered stock on almost every farm.
The fine carriage, trotting and
coach horse is as common among
farmers as the Junk head used to be
universal. The side attractions
imported from the city are all
familiar objects to the farmers now
a-days, with the railroad at every
farmhouse door and the excursion
ticket on sale, he often visits the
city and the little show things are
no novelties to him.
The agricultural fair of the old
expensive type is absolutely out OF
date. Our farmer of 1898 has been
carried away beyond these old relics
of the past by the procession of
events. The MIDLAND JOURNAL
has told the management for years
that this thing belonged to the dead
pastand should have been consigned
to the tomb with other corpses, but
they wouldn't hear and erected a
gambling concern in the fairs stead.
This "outlawed" infamy put the
capstone on the fair if it needed a
capstone, and disguised and out
ragged common decency and good
morals.
Well, it's no use saying anything
more. Experience is dear school
but it is the only one a certain class
of people will learn in, and it is
devOutly to be hoped that our fair
managers have graduated this year
with the title of A. Il, O. in modern
agriculture.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look; If your
stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are
affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. "Electric
Bitters" is a good alternative and
tonic. Acts directly on the stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the
blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives good complexion,

Terrific Explosion in Philadelphia.

A terrific explosion occurred in
Philadelphia last Sunday evening,
about Z o'clock which completely
demolished three large brick build
ings on South street between Broad
and 10Th sts., and killed five of the
inmates, Russian Jews. The build
ings destroyed were occupied as
stores and dwellings combined and
the explosion is thought to have
been caused by gasoline, stored in
the cellar of the center building
which was used as a grocery store.
The building at the corner Of 18th
and South is occupied as a drug
store which is in charge of Sher-
wood Cameron, formerly of Rising
Sun. The building adjoining the
drug store was one of the three
completely demolished, and not a
wall left standing. The wall OF the
drug store building was badly
cracked but received no further
injury. Mr.. Cameron was in the
store at the time and escaped with
Ia bad scare and shaking up,

One night last week one of the
residents of Liberty Grove came
home loaded with Havre de Grace
whiskey and proceeded to make
things lively. His wife objected
and was promptly knocked down
for interfering with the brute's
actions. In order to impress upon
her that he was the better man of
the two he then gave a few finish
ing touches to the knock down and
only desisted when neighbOrs inter
fered in the wife's behalf. The
(whiskey) loving husband was
brought before the squire the next
day, fined $40, and in default
thereof was landed in Elkton jail
Instead of being allowed to remain
there, some sympathetic friend
went down the following day and
paid his fine. The Delaware whip
ping post, and not sympathy, is
what he needed.
