The days of the old county and district Fairs seems to bszapassing away. Ten or fifteen years ago nearly every county he'd Fair, in the Fall of the year, but now there are not exceeding half doz- en counties in the State where Fairs are held. As a paying in- vestment to the stock holders these Fairs nearly always proved fail- ure, but as a general meeting place for pleasure for .the people they were not to be discounted. IL was was at these Fairs where the em, bryo politician and statesman d. lated upon the splendors and glo. ries of our common country where the old farmer smoked his pipe, and viewed with the utmost con tentment, the fat swine and lazy cattle, in their stalls; where the young sports bet their nickles and dimes on tieet-footed mules and grass-belied ponies; where the staid capitalist and prineely coun- try merchant looked over, under or through his gold-rimmed glass es at big pumpkins, turnips and potatoes; where the town dude ex hibited his patent-leather shoes and red neek-tie and where the country swain treated his best girl to goob- er-pea candy and barrel lemonade. At these annual reunions there was happy time for all. But the mercenary age arrived, and because these Fairs didn't pay they fell through. The greedy, grasping, avariciousness of the people turned them down, and now they have nothing to divert them from the common routine of their daily toll, from years end to years end, and while they may be possessed of a few more paltry dollars, they have denied themselves of much that made life worth the living. Some poet with humorous bent, des- canting upon the Darwinian theory that the monkey was the prototype of man, in burst of serio-comic enthusiasm. exclaimed 'tThe olden way was the better way,
 The new condition fails,
 Sc. Darwin, if you can, my boy,
 Just give us back our tails.
