Mr.. Mossman in the stall in front of the
horse with his head badly bruised and cut
and insensible. He got the horse
out and summoned help and physician,
who did what they could to restore the
injured man, but for several days he was

Those who have not visited T. W. Drew's
flower and vegetable garden this season
have missed a most pleasing sight. Per-
| haps not in the county is there such
beautiful variety of hoilyhocks as sur
rounds the garden. For five years Mr..
| Drew has been perfecUing these flowers,
eliminating all single ones and cultivating
the different colored doubles. Much of
the seed was received from Washington,
D. G.. His many lovely roses are nearly
gone for this year, but earlier in the sea-
|
has many other plants and flowers of diff
f7rent varieties, and takes great pleasure in
promoting their growth and enjoying
their beauty and perfume. 1t is pleas
ant occupation for a man Of Mr.. Drew's
age, who has retired from active business,
and now has time to cultivate the aesthetic
| side of life.
The Fair Ground Co. are making great
preparation for the county fair which is
to be held here the 10th, 18th, 18th and
18th of September. Floral Hall win be
nicely fitted up, shingled, clapboarded and
painted, also arranged SO as to display the
exhibits in the most convenient and taste

money will be provided for premiums
for the different departments in Floral
Hall SO it will be an object to make this
one OF the chief attractions for the ladies.
| Those who enjoy the races will be sure of
witnessing as exciting contests as any of
| the previous ones from the fact that S2250
will be expended i'll purses. This large sum
will insure success by securing the fastest
horses to compete for the large purses IN
each race. 1t is expected that the stage
attractions will be as entertaining as here
tofore, if not mure so, by reason of the
fact that money enough will be expended
to secure first-class artists and some eX-
perts in their different professions. The
exhibition of live stock will be modelled
after the Stanstead stock department,
which has previously given a greater va
riety of animals on account of the larger
number Of classes where they could find
| place. This will be especially true Of the
swine exhibit. An agreeable feature for
| the people who wish to attend will be the
exclusion of beer from the grounds, as
only sodas, lemonade and such drinks as
contain no alcohol are to bes sold on the
park. A locl<-upis being made for the in
corrigibIe, and officers will be numerous
enough to shut up all who insist in Great
