of the hall and will give the people living
some distance from here a chance to see
what the business men of this place can
offer for bargains. Do not fail to call on
| them and inspect their exhibits; you will
be sure of pleasant greeting and courte-
Gus treatment whether you make a pur-
! chase or not.
While in E. T. Wilson's studio recently
we noticed some of Mr.. Wilson's work in
the line of dull finish of which he has been
doing considerable of late. The work looks
very nice, and from the call for it, it ap-
pears to take well with the people. Mr..
Wilson is in his studio nearly all the time
and is assisted by Mrs. Wilson much of
the time. His studio, which was thorough
ly repaired some time ago, is very pleas
ant and he appears to be prepared in every
way to do good work.
The last fair is sometimes the best and
this is what the management claim will be
the case at the St. Johnsbury fair Sept. 49,
21 The last two days are full of special
attractions that will interest both young
and old, including holly contested races
for purses of $1,000 and between heats in
teresting exhibitions Of skill and animal
training On a specially constructed plat
form in front of the grand stand. You
had better go to this fair and renew your
acquaintance with your Caledonia county
friends.
Mistaken identity has from time imme-
mortal furnished basis for amusing COM
plications. In Mr.. A. @. Scammon's latest
musical comedy ''The Real Widow
Rr0VTrr1 ,; which will he criUpn at SRaVRr3G
Hall next Wednesday evening, a young
man by a very clever disguise for time
impersonates the real widow, thereby
furnishes the incentive for the fun, and
the events following are very comical.
Fetching costumes, graceful dancing and
taking music enhance the attractiveness
of the performance.
Some more attractions have been secured
by the Fair Association and particulars
will be seen on the first page of this paper.
Remember that Charles Taylor, the oldest
driver in the country, will be present, and
also the driver of Gypsy Queen, the
youngest driver in the country. "A large
list of entries for the races have been re-
ceived, but too late to be given in this

ladies we will explain the change in the
rules governing exhibitions in their
department in floral hall still further. The
change is simply to avoid giving out free
tickets, and if there are any parties who
desire to enter articles for exhibition and
do not desire to attend the fair, they can
send whatever they wish to exhibit and
they will be entered free of charge, and if
found meritorious, premiums will be
awarded.
The fair at LyndonviIIe was held We'd
nesday and Thursday of last week with a
good attendance both days. The exhibit
ton of horses was large and there were
many nice lockers among them. The
showing of cattle was very good. While
not great mum Der of sheep were exhib-
tied there were some exceptionally fine
ones among them. There were but few
exhibitors of swine but their exhibits
were meritorious; the poultry raisers did /
their part to make the fair success. The
exhibitions of vegetables and butter and
cheese showed that there were some good
farmers in the county. The display in |
floral hall was smaller than usual, but some
very beautiful articles were shown. The /
races were good and were witnessed by
large crowd. FL. A. Folsom's horse, Cap
tain, which was entered in the named race,
succeeded in capturing first money. Purse
$175. James McFarland's horse took third !
money in one of the races.
During the past few weeks we have been
obliged to throw out a large number of !
our locals in order to afford space for our
advertisers, but we believe our readers will
not object to an occasional extra amount
of advertising SO long the space is taken
by our home and not by foreign adver-
Users. Patent medicine advertisements
are of interest to but few, while the
advertisement of the home merchant is of
interest to every family for it aids them in
buying judiciously the necessities of every
day life. By watching the columns of the
local advertisers oneWill always know just
when special reductions are being made
in certain lines and also just where to go
for whatever they may want, thus saving
the trouble of visiting all the different
stores in quest of articles. We are run
ming a very large number of locals, and
while we may be obliged to reduce them
at certain times we shall average during
the year many more than ever before.
The Barton base ball team went to New
port Saturday afternoon to play the New
port Centers and won by score of 10 to 4.
The game was of about the same sort as
the one here last Saturday, except that it
was the other way. Foster did not have
as good control as usual and his support
was very poor. Richmond pitched an ex-
cellent game. His slow balls and wide
curves seemed to puzzle his opponents.
