 FINE EXHIBITION IN AGRICULTURAL HALL. The building devoted to agricultural products never presented such an at tractive appearance as this year, thanks to the enterprise of the ladies and gentlemen of the town who did the decorating. Branches of autumn leaves and wild flowers were used about the sides of the building and overhead. It was therefore beauti l ful sight which presented itself to the | eye as one entered the main door. On | hand to greet the visitors were the | three superintendents, who had done so much to make this department Peck and c. J. Beck. A leisurely trip about the building with note book in hand, furnished many items of inter- est. The great display .of, squashes and pumpkins filed one side of the building entire.
