nnn River Valley Fair.


The Dog River Valley Fair TO be held at
Mortified Sept. "a, % and rs Is one that
every one who has ever attended speaks
well of. All the arrangements are nearly
completed and everything will be in readi-
ness and with good weather it is sure to
be the best lair ever held on the grounds.
There has been a steady growth in the
attendance and exhibits for the past ten
wears. The buildings and the grounds
have Deen fitted up year by year from the
profits of the fair, until very few fair
grounds are more tasty or convenient.
This year great improvements are being
made. among which Is bringing pure
spring water onto the grounds instead Of
brook water, which has not always been
first class; also spouts or hose are being
laid to fill street sprinkler, so that in
case of dry weather the track well be wet
down, thus doing away with the dust
which has been very annoying al times.
The management are adherng strictly
to the object for which the association was
chartered, viz. the Improvement Of agYi-
culture. horticulture and the arts, and the
exhibits will be both interesting and in
siruetive. such as will commend them to
all persons of intelligence. All come and
bring with you the products Of yonr skill,
as well as the products OF the soil, and help
to make IL the grand harvest festival of
vermont
While the officers OF the Mortified fair
have at times been severely criticised for
the absence OF special attractions OF
circus nature, they have been unmindful
Of such criticism and stuck TO the real OBJ
ject for which they were chartered and af-
ter fight of % years their wisdom Is be-
coming recognized and the Dog River
Valley Fair association in eonnec-
tion with one or two other fairs
in Vermont is being very highly compii-
mented, not only in Vermont but all over
the country, and today il Is q universally
admitted fact that only such fairs have
prospered for any length OF time. The
Vermont board OF agriculture, through
Mr.. Bell. have gathered statistics which
prove this to be true. The Civic commit
tees OF Boston have gathered similar sta
tistics through the whole United States
and Canada and they say that the truly
agricultural fairs are the only ones that
have prospered. Secretary Furnas OF the
Nebraska board OF agriculture says, "ln
our state only the purely agricultural fairs
pay In the end. This fact Il becoming
recognized all over the country. What
the people want after hard seasons work
and the crops are garnered i 70 attend a
grand harvest festival Such viii be the
Northfield fair sept. q, Is and Is. Take
the products 81 your industry and your
wife and children and have grand time

forts largely was the first conference Of

the National Bank OF Orange County and
was elected its first president. He bought
farm after farm until be became probably
the largest landed proprietor in Orange
county. Even in old age his taste and
talents for business did not desert him
and he continued .in the harness.
Mr.. King was active in politics as Re-
publican. He represented Tunbrdge in
1s6s-9. has been for % years postmaster
and held many other town offices. He
was recognized as one Of the strong men OF

r. The former was associated in business

Son, Tunbridge, doing a very large and
successful business. The son has repre-
sented Tunbridge and is now postmaster.
