No citizen of Orleans county could visit
the county fairs held in other parts of the
state without a feeling OF pride in the
beautiful park where the Orleans county
fair is held. While other parks are kept in
the best condition that circumstances will
permit there are but few in New England
equal to the Roaring Brook Park. The
people of Orleans county are very fortu-
nate that the park is in the hands of man
who takes pride in improving it to the
highest degree. That these fall meetings
are of great benefit to the farmers of the
county no one will deny and the pleasure
has been greatly enhanced by the increased
conveniences afforded the people since Mr..
4 Holder secured possession OF the grounds.
Y The fine condition in which the grounds
of the village cemetery are kept cannot
help but be source of pride to all resi-
dents ofthis town. Under the supervision
of Mr.. T. w. Drew many improvements
have been made. On the eastern Boundary
of the cemetery near the trees hollyhocks,
golden glow, phlox and other hardy per-
ennials have been planted and all summer
have formed mass OF brilliant bloom in
pleasing contrast with the background oil
trees. Mr.. VIM. Allchurch, who has beer
, the sexton for several years, is most pains
taking in the care of the grounds and ha;
charge of many lots, keeping the gras:
moved and the shrubbery carefully trim
med. There are many hydrangea shrubs
in the Enclosure which have been in full
bloom during the past few weeks adding
greatly to the beauty of the grounds. Sew
eral fine monuments have been set during
