We attended the County Fair one day
last week Although little damp we
had nice time Saw the fellow kick
the barrel, heard the band play, took
peep at the merry go-round and had re-
| freshments in the canvas tent, along
with about a thousand more unfortu-
mates. Our repast consisted of oyster
stew, without pepper, salt or butter;
side dish, baked beans without knife,
fork, or spoon to handle them with
tea and coffee plenty, no way to get out
side of it, not even straw to suck it
through. After staying about an hour
we decided to get outside, which we did
and felt as though we had made an
effort to satisfy our longing for some
thing to eat. We soon met our genial
High Sheriff of Lamoille county and his
wife and telling them our troubles they
= kindly invited us to go over and board
with them as long as we pleased and we
might have the liberty of the county
yard AS we did not have our beans
pulled, we declined their offer and
started for home, feeling it was good to
be citizen of Lamoille county.
