The Great County Fair.

/The Addison County Fair will be the
great event of the year, and if you are
not planning to take it all in, do so at
once. No efforts are being spared to
make it the biggest kind of success.
There have been several new buildings
erected since last year, but the attention
of exhibitors is called especially to the
new and commodious Horticultural Hall.
The management realizing that this de-
partment has not had proper quarters
heretofore are making a special effort to
make the exhibits of vegetables, seeds,
fruit, etc, feature this year. You can
help by bringing the choice things from
your field, garden and orchard. The
premiums offered in this department as
in all others, are liberal.
The calls for space in all departments
has been unprecedented, but exhibitors
will all be taken care of if they do not
wait until the last minute.
The society has taken a decided stand
on the fakir question this year, and
philanthropc gentry who are so anxious:
to allow the amusement seeking public
to beat them at their own game, will do
business in the police court if they at
tempt it.
The long list of attractions will make
that feature of the fair a continuous per-
Torrance: the racing events promise TO
exceed in interest anything held in the
state this season.
1t will be great fair, you can't afford
| to miss it.

The SD birthday of Henry l.. Sheldon
was celebrated Monday in unique way.
He and two other of the older men in
town rode through the streets in the
historical carriage now in his possession
that was used in Vergennes by President
Monroe and Commodore McDonough
while the latter was residing in Ver-
gennes and was fitting out the fleet that
played a conspicuous part in the battle of
Plattsburg, Sept. II, 1914. He used this
carriage for his ordinary travel, and as
his wife had relatives in Middlebury the
carriage was a familiar sight here in
conveying both Mrs. McDonough and the
commodore back and forth from Yer
gennes. The vehicle was also used when
President Monroe in 1917 soiourned at
Vergennes, and he had also made visits
t. the college town. Mr.. Sheldon's
companions Monday were Rev. Mr.
Bidwell aged 80 years, AMI Loyal Wright
age 93 years. The ancient carriage came
into Mr.. Sheldon's possession some years
ago and he has the original license
granted for its use required by United
States law passed in 1916. The license
was issued to Belden Seymour anc
is dated June Z, 1915. The carriage
is in an excellent state of preservation
and good for hard service for many years
yet
The people rendered the distinguished
occupants most cordial reception a.

Facts for Thinking Voters.

The Boston Pilot, edited by Patrick
Donahoe, one of the brightest and ablest
Irish-Americans in America says: 1.-The
English press is, as usual, practically a
unit in the favor of the election of the
Democratic ticket. The London Obser-
yer says that with the exception of the
plank reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine,
the Democratic platform is much more
acceptable to Great Britain than that
adopted by the Republicans. 1t stands
for movement in the direction of free
trade, or at least low tariff. London
Truth is also for the ticket "Why
should we place any barriers to Irish
immigration:' said the London Times a
few years ago. "When they go to
America the Irish vote for low tariff
and the importation of English goods.
"The Spectators ideas of how the re-
suit of the election may effect the inter
est of England indicate a decided
anxiety for the success of Parker.
The paper says
of the interest of their own country,
they would probably desire the success
of the Democratic candidate at the
Presidential election. Neither party in
the United States Is now unfriendly to
this country, and whether the President
is Republican or a Democrat, he is
certain to maintain the tradition of
goodwill which inspires the Govern
ment at Washington as fully as it does
that at Westminster. But though the
good terms on which the United States
and the British Empire now find them.
selves are not likely to be jeopardized
whichever way the election goes, sci
fish and narrow view of our interest
would no doubt indicate a Democratic
victory as desirable. If the Democratic
be placed on American expansion, anC
on the development of an American
oversee empire. Again, a Democratic
victory will mean a small as contrasteC
with a great navy. The Democrats ar
opposed to the development of American
sea-power, and declare that they hav
no use for navy larger than that re
quired to defend their own shores
Now, though there is no fear that tn

second or third biggest navy in tn

world as the active section of the Re-
publican party desire to make it, will
ever be used against Britain, it must be
admitted that its existence will to some
extent derogate from the supremacy of
our fleet, and make our command of the

have only small navy, they can not
claim the right to be heard in distant
waters which they could claim if their
navy were of large proportions"

Suicide in j all.

George Alexander, a Berlin farmer,
hanged himself in his cell in Washington
county Jail at Montpelier Aug. ~. Alex
ander was arrested on a warrant issued
by States Attorney Senter charging him
with second offense of intoxication
alleged to have been committed Aug. 10.
He was somewhat under the influence of
liquor when arrested but was placed in
the Jail corridor with the other prisoners
during the afternoon. He was seen there
a few minutes before five o'clock by
Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald and must have
hanged himself Immediately afterwards
a. hp was discovered when the supper
call was sounded shortly after five
O'Clock. Alexander took one of the
blankets in his cell, tied it to the upper
bunk, twisting one end around his neck
and dropping to his knees. He was dead
when Health Officer Lindsay reached
the Jail.
Alexander was 40 years old and UNI
married. He was evidently not in his
right mind as only last Sunday he hanged
himself in his barn in Berlin but was cut
down in time to save his life.

AT the home OF his parents, MFR.

City Miss, .IOHNATHAN MORRIs
REEVES, aged z years and 4months,
Little Morris was the grandson
of the late j. il. Morris, OF Opelou.
sas, La, and the only son of L. ],
Reeves and Carrie Morris.
He was born at Garland, st
Landry Parish, La, on the 10Th
Feb, 1902, and when eleven months
old moved to McComb City with
his parents; but when the spring
time came on, instead OF littls
Morris budding into freshness and
vigor as the other little plants and
flowers do, after the long dreaFy
winter is past, he began to decline
into a delicate state OF health and
continued to be very physically
frail, bat his intellect was some
thing bright and beautiful, and In
MANY ways remarkable; his little
face was fair and beautiful, always
wearing a smile OF love aud kind
ness itself, and he became known
over McComb City as "Sweet little
Morris Reeves"
His last illness and death was
caused from measles and the many
complications which followed the
disease.
His death has made the home
sad and desolate; for little Morris
was the pride Of father, mother
and sisters, who loved him with Q
mfser's care--and whose grief f0l
him is something pitiful.
The funeral service was held Ia
the home parlor by Rev. ]. III
Lane, Pastor of the Baptist Church
after which he was carried to the
cemetery and laid TO rest, to SLEEP
till Christ comes again.
But, oh! his little spirit is en-.
loving the giories of immortality
al he is safe In the arms OF Jesus
for he was surely one of the little
Jewels that form the gems o.
Christss kingdom.
We weep for you, darling baby
vet we know you are so happy ane
free from all of life's ills; but oul
grief is because we loved, and nov
miss you SO.
