GEORGES RIVER GRANGE FAIR.
An impromptu fair gotten up by Geore


River Grange at very short notice was held
in Georges Hall, Liberty, Saturday, Oct
18th. The fair was instructive, interesting
and full of fun There were 256 exhibits OF
fruits, vegetables, preserves, pickles and
canned fruit; 6 of poultry, of sheep and l
OF swine, besides a very fine display of
fancy work. paintings, old relies, curios,
etc. The most notable exhibit was by J. c.
Carey of Montville, who exhibited the Ok
ford cream separator, for which he is the
agent. 1t attracted much attention. Many
say that it is the best separator in use in
this vicinity. We hear that he has had
many sales. The most noticeable exhibit
was by Mrs. j. 0. johnson, five shaggy
white kittens, all of one litter. They are
pure white with the exception of one, which
is white and red. AS they lay in a show
case on colored wool mat they were an in
teresting sight. But the most wonderful
exhibit was that of J. II. Berry of Mont
vile, which will be the subject of another
article later, as the description would be too
lengthy at this time. Following is list of
