lars. The next booth was occupied
by A. r. Cowles and son who were
showing the Crown and Lehr organs,
and Malcolm, Love and Lehr pianos.
This booth was very nicely lighted by
means of several large vapor gas
lights put in by g. A. Dow of West
Glover, who is agent for the same.
G. @. Lang, jeweler and optician had
booth trimmed in tasty manner
and well filed with goods from his
large line of jewelry. Among the
things to be seen in his display were
watches, chains, pins, rings, and
everything that one would expect to
find in first class jewelry store with
carefully selected stock. Miss L. @.
Colburne was present with good
assortment of millinery goods. On
| the other side of the hall g. S. Phillips,
succeeded, as usual, in attracting the
attention of nearly every spectator.
His exhibition was a most attractive
one and it's beauty was enhanced by
part of it being shown in very pretty
birch case, the handiwork of Mr.. Phil
lips. Just beyond Mr.. Phillips stand
Mrs. S. D. Stone made an attractive
display of her millinery goods. A. L.
Bailey, the st. Johnsbury, music
dealer, was in his customary place
and showed the McPhail and Yelling
ton pianos and the Estey organ. A.
E. Clark of Barton, hardware dealer,
successor to ]. M. Elliott, made good
showing with his Andes stoves and
ranges, Glen, Active, Round Oak,
Rural, and Prize Andes to select from
and in his general hardware line he
should be able to suit all classes of
people. The local agents for the
various cream separators were on
hand explaining to the people the
special advantages of the machines
which they were selling. w. F. Clark
of Glover was showing the DeLaval
with the sheep power for running it,
Nelson Caron of Barton the Empire,
and B. r. UdallI of Craftsbury the
United States separator, Babcock
tester, and sheep power for running
noted some harnesses, the handiwork
of H. D. Phillips of this village. They
were good ones and doubtless prize
winners.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
We have certainly never seen bet
ter display in the hall in this line than
was made this year. The long tables,
covered with the beautiful fruit, were
constantly surrounded with people
who we should judge felt, as did the
writer like sampling some of the vari-
Gus kinds. Arthur Salmon of Glover
showed twenty-ei varieties of ap
pies, good ones too, and several vari-
eties Of potatoes, some of them be-
ing new to this vicinity, and all good
lockers. G. s. Gibbs of Barton Land |
ing showed large variety of fruit |
and his ''Prolific Sweets" large hand !
some apples would be hard to beat |
anywhere. Other exhibitors who |
helped to make up the grand display
were w. w. Foster, G.. w. Wilson, J.
G. Oliver, S. E. King, Mrs. D. F. Le-
Clair, M. F. Gay, Hamilton Collins, A.
E. Harlow, A. r. Wakeman, S. B.

HOUSEHOLD AND ORNAMENTAL
The ladies and children have every
reason to be proud of their showing
in the hall. The children entered
more of their work than we have seen
before and we hope that another year
they will plan to do still better. There
may have been no more articles
shown in the ladies' department than
in former years but this year the bet
ter ones were shown and the Others
left at home. In this side of the hall
we noticed center table which was
apparently catching the eye ofall who
passed that way. It was manufactur-
ed FL. M. Salmon Of Glover and is
Of several kinds of wood inlaid The
