LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE VIEWPOINT FAIR. PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
 day, October l, ? and 3, the annua
 fair and cattle show of the Newtow1
 Agricultural society will be held or
 Ronald park. Most of our reader
 are already acquainted with this fact
 but we want to impress it or
 their minds so that nothing but al
 earthquake shock or tidal wave vii
 cause them to forget it. The show
 this year will be a good one, worth the
 price of ride to the park and the ad
 mission fee after one gets there. Ii l will be an old-fashioned cattle show such an one as the State Board of Agriculture recommends, but lacking some of the spectacular features on which some agricultural societies have come to rely on largely for their success. There won t be any elephants climbing trees or giraffes playing football or Siamese jugglers walking on their eye brOwS at the NewtOWn fair. These things attract the curious but they don't add anything to the value of an agricultural fair On the other hand anyone who wants to see fine collect ion of cattle. horses, swine, poultry, vegetables, fruits, flowers and other legitimate features of an Old-fashioned fair and cattle show will make no mis- take in visiting Ronald Park the first three days of October. The exhibits will be there, generous in quantity, ex- cellent in quality. Lovers of high class poultry will find collection there which is bound to interest them Music will be furnished by the Wheeler & Wilson band of Bridgeport.
 The officers of the society will soon be hard at work in the endeavor to make this the biggest and best fair that has ever been held on Ronald park. They deserve success and with favOring conditions will doubtless se- cure it. How great the success de- pends largely on a willingness to CO., operate shown by the residents in NewtOwn and surrounding towns. The larger the number of exhibits the more attractive the fair will be: the larger the attendance the more satis- factory will be the financial results. The agricultural society is maintained, the agricultural community. Any success that it may achieve is for the best interests of that community. A considerable percentage of the pOpu- latiOn of NeWtOwn is engaged in agri culture or kindred pursuits. With these facts in mind it becomes evident that the NewtOwn public owes a duty to the agricultural society, a duty which it should not hesitate to fulfil. The society should have the most generous patronage, the most hearty support from every element in the community. That patronage and sup port have little chance for expression save at the annual fair It is a priv ilege and duty to attend the fair; are you among those ready to accept that privilege and fulfil that duty? If not, why not?

BEST THING BY SETTING GOOD EEK AMPLE YOURSELF.
 l Quite a number of persons hay, spoken to me and asked me if I would not put a ringing appeal in THE BEI to the good people far and wide t( muster in a sturdy campaign against the worms that are now infeSting Oul orchards and roadsides. As try t( be of service in any good cause, l glad ly take up my pen and lift my voice ir this work, hoping that I may at least be the means of giving this good idea circulation. Any one has but to give a glance at our trees, whether in the orchards or in the deep woods, to see that the worms are getting an awful start This evil work that is being allowed thus silently to go on, will,s not checked, surely reap it's evil har- vest by and by. l have heard, in some zens joining together to do work which, unless they took hold, was everybody's business, and therefore, nobody's business. Thegoo people of Taunton, the other day, turned out in force and cleared the districts bury ing ground. Why don't some equally public spirited citizen gather his friends and neighbOrs together some day, and go along our highways to burn the nests of worms out? While we sleep, the enemy SOwS tares in the wheat field, while we think that the labor belongs to somebody else, mis- chief will be set in operation that years of painstaking effort cannot undo. It is common saying that every year finds it harder to raise any sort of veg etables, grain or fruit; but will it be easier if we permit the worms to rest and multiply ab libitum? The higher orders of animal life multiply slowly, the lowest orders increase by the mil lion. A worm, brought to this country as specimen for collection, escaped; and it was not many years before the Legislature of Massachusetts had to offer large rewards for the extermina- tion of it's progeny. Evil, checked in it's embryo, isa weak foe to encounter: when allowed, unmOlested, to grow, who can stop it's ravages? Come, now, good people, wake up; the honor awaits you of being the first to do most praiseworthy deed. Who will step into line? A closing suggestion: Might not some of the money spent in road inn provements be we'll diverted to the work of destroying the worms?

LETTER TO RUFFLES & NICHOLS s
NEWTOWN.

NEWTOWN.
 Dear Sirs: Do you mix your own paints yet? You can do better. Zinc IS hard to mix: requires machinery. factory work; and, in mixing lead and zinc, you have nothing to go by; both being white, when are they mixed: Also, zinc should be ground into the lead: not simply mixed in, but ground in.
 Buy Devoe lead and zinc. It is the right proportion and thoroughly ground in linseed oil; nothing else, but color and dryer.
 The colors are uniform; ready to dip the brush in. Costs less and wears twice as long as shop-mixed paint.
 Yours truly,

A PRESERVATION TO HERBERT

GIVEN A HANDSOME PRESENT BY THF
 GUESTS AT THE INN.

GU ESIS AT HI E INN. A highly enjoyable dancing and l card party was held at the Inn on Sat. urday evening, and quite large num-
 Der were present, despite the heavy doWn-pour of rain. A feature of the evening was presentation of purse containing $45 to the affable Herbert | Flansburgh, who is everybOdy's friend at the Inn and in the town in general. The presentation speech was very hap
 oily made by w. l.. Drumgold, pop. | ular member of the summer colony at
 the Inn. MT Drumgold spoke as fol- | lows:
 On behalf of your numerous friends and acquaintances, permit me to pre- sent to you small token of our re- gard. We trust you'll use it with dis cretion and after spending reason able amount will stow the balance away in barrels, trunks, etc., as this walking the ties in winter is hard work. So, remember the old saying, Prepare for rainy day." Time pre- vents my further going into details, and, in conclusion think l echo the sentiments of all present when I say success and health be with you.
 MT Flansburgh was taken by sur prise but gathered himself together and replied in characteristic speech.
 The following literary and musical program was enjoyed during the even- ing:
 Dancing, 7.3O to 9.3O A few remarks by "Mons." Drumgoldi "Chestnuts," by Herr" Flansburgovitch. | MUSICALE BY THE CELEBRATED TROUPE FROM PARIS, (KENTUCKY) INCLUDING: Mile. May June, .Juy) Hotchkisseo. CThe New Haven Nightingale)
