| New GRAND STAND. The trustees of
! the Waldo County Agricultural Society met
Monday evening and appointed G. G. Alb
! bolt, NJ. Is. Lawrence and ". II. Clifford
committee to arrange for building new
grand stand at the fair grounds. A site was
chosen and the foundation partly prepared
last spring. The grand stand will seat
1,Co0 persons and will be located on the west
side of the TIRE *, where the sp> ctators will
not face the sun. The trustees also voted
| to utilize one side of the driveway from the
/ me- n road to the grounds for cattle sheds
| The Association owns a strip 1 rods wide
| from the gate to the road. Sheds will be
| built on one side, ana still lave plenty of
! room for travel IA and out. The fair this
year was a success financially and the trus-
! tees feel encouraged to make the needed
i improvements to brig the grounds up to
modern requirements. The rack is one of
the best half-mile courses in the State, with
! good footing, of correct length, and of a
soil that dries very quickly after rain.
With new grand stand and exhibition hall
and the proposed changes in the cattle
quarters the Belfast grounds will be equa
t any in this section. The trus lees will
meet again Oct 10th, at p. M
L ter to 6. E. knowIton.

Dear Sir: There are a. thousand WAYS to
cheat in our business; and neither our
ne'ghbors suspect us of cheating or not, de-
| ponds on ourselves, our talk, our face, our
crooked-our neighbors know al about us
| without being told
| We are pretty well known. We are no
| infant-146 years old-began business on
this little island New YORK in 1854. Have
been making paint and noise in the world
| ever since.
| And there isn't man, alive or dead, that
wouldn't testify for us, if you should Stir
| him up.
| We grind lead and zinc in linseed oil by
machinery. all together That's hnc-
mess: We live on the proht-r,a chnery
over hand-work. Painters mix their paint
| by hand-they imagine they do-they half
mix it. We grind together: whole-mix.
Better and costs less money.
We are the very best friend the painter
has, if he knows it-yes, whether he knows
it or not. He can't afford not to know it,
| We ere the painters customers friend
| We save them both money
Yours truly,
~ F. w. DEvoE & Co.
