There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years it was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonfu1- 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testim onials.

graceful, happy manner, to Mr.. and Mrs.
McCarty each very nice and pretty rock

very feeling replies, from Mr.. and Mrs. Nc

lent vocal music, reading, declarations and
had partaken of choice refreshments fur
nished by Mr.. McC. from the restaurant of

A committee of investigation in Bos-
ton recently addressed circular to
several State secretaries Of agriculture
asking whether. in their opinion, the
purely legitimate or ''wide-open" agri-
cultural fair pays best in the long run,
financially, educationally and socially,
and a number of other questions of
similar import. The replies were unan-
imous in favor of the clean fair. The
Country Gentleman says it is not sur
prised at this result, although it real
ICES that ''the wide open fair" that is.
the fair which allows drinking, gambling
and more or less vulgar side shows on
its grounds, has often gained the sup
port of opportunists on the ground
that it brings out the crowd, that it is
the only thing that will do this, and
that without it the best fair is bound to
languish. The plea is often stated very
plausibly; no one questions the educa-
tional value of an agricultural show.
But say the defenders of the wide
open idea, since fair without side
shows is financially impossible, why
deprive the inhabitants of this county
or of this State the benefits of such an
exhibition because a few squeamic h
people object to the sight of gambling
and beer-drinking? Secretary True of
Wisconsin says: Temporary financial
advantage may be gained by ignoring
the educational and social features of
the fair and admitting questionable
attractions, but in the long run only
the clean fair will succeed, financially
or otherwise" and the others are uni
formly of this opinion. Secretary Bell
of Vermont says: 1.-THE most success,
full fair in Vermont is purely agricul-
tural: no side-shows or games Of chance.
and it draws the crowd every season. -
Of course, it doesn't make a fair to
make it decent; that's merely the neg
ative side Of the matter. Attractions,
as Mr.. True says, must be varied and
plentiful, and the highest possible stand
ard of exhibits must be maintained in
all departments"

OBITUARY..

Charles Read, one of the oldest men in
Waldo county, died at his home on North
port avenue Aug. 9th. He had been feeble
for some time but was confined to the house
less than week. He was born in Belfast,
on farm near that on which the greater

Belfast was Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas for Hancock County, which then in
cluded the present county of that name, all
OF Waldo and part of Knox. 1t is claimed
for Judge Read that in 17SS-S9 he invented
the necessary machinery to adapt Watts
steam engine to boats and land carriages
with the'avowed and special purpose of ap-
plying it to both of these objects. He con-
structed models of steamboat and locomo-
tive, substantially upon the principle which
afterwards gave Fulton and Stephenson
their success. He died in Belfast, Jan 20,

children and was the last of the family to
pass away. He married Rosina Blanchard.

mer by occupation, an industrious and high
ly respected citizen, and retained his bodily
and mental vigor to remarkable degree
nearly to the end. The funeral was held at
his late home Monday afternoon, Rev. A.
A. Smith officiating The bearers were his
neighbors, Rufus K. Patterson, Howard
Murphy, Joseph F. Wight and Joseph B.
Wilson. The interment was in the family
lot in Grove Cemetery.

Our Waldo county fair last year en-
tered upon new career For the first
time in many years it was success in
every respect. This year the manage

with the cooperation of the public and
favorable weather there is every assur-
ance that it will be a gala occasion.
Aside from the usual features of the agri-
cultural fair the social side merits COM
mendation. 1t brings people together
from all parts of the county, renews
Old acquaintance and promotes good
fellowship. So let us all work together
to promote the success of our local fair.
