TO HOLD A COUNTY FAIR

Pomona Grange proposes holding
county fair during the month Of August.
1t will be held in the neighborhood OF
Wilmington and promises to be a good
affair. Farmers of New Castle county
will be asked to take part Arrangements
are now under way to make the affair a
genuine success. No cash prizes will be
awarded, but the business men of Will
mington will donate prizes. The idea
with the Grange is to bring the farmers
and their wives and children together for
a couple of days. No entrance fee will be
required but on the contrary the gates
will be thrown open for all exhibitors.
No trials of speed will take place and in
fact the proposed fair is to be one of the
genuine ones held seventy-fve years ago.
The honor of Mrs. B. defeating Mrs. G.
with her pastry and preserves will be
equal to the blue ribbons to be won by
the big farm horses, the blooded cattle or
the prize chickens. Scott Townsend and
William Lawton during the coming week
will begin the cataloguing Of prizes.
Business men and others have already
offered prizes.
The Grange during the next couple of
weeks will arrange for the place of hold
ing the fair as well as the date. 1t will
be held at a time when the farmers can
exhibit some of the crops grown by them,
