GROWING IN IMPORTANCE YEARLY.
 INSTRUCTIVE AND ENTERTAINING.
 The growing importance of the Danbury fair is feature of present. day history that is being forced to the attention of every observing citizen who is in the least interested in the advancement of scientific and practi- cal agriculture. It is in the influence stimulates efforts to excel. The friendly rivalship that the Danbury Fair creates is the greatest incentive the ambitious farmer can have set be- fore him. The Danbury Fair, while 1t usually represents much wider area of exhibition interest than is de- scribed by the boundaries of the state, has local following, a kind of home pride that develops and proves the most valuable asset in the building up of this progressive and up-to-date ex- hibition.
 The Danbury Fair has ceased to be operated alone in the interest of place of amusement. The Old-time idea of making a fair appeal to the baSer and lighter tendencies in human nature rather than the finer Sensibili- ties of moral and intellectual training has in a great measure passed away. The present-day Danbury Fair is moving forward to suit the demands of the people and the times. That the silly burleSqne and questionable side shows have seen their day at the Fair and must give way to the more elevat- ing and instructive amUSementS and band concerts, there can be no ques- tiOn or doubt.
 The business men endorse the Dan- h,,pev Noi o@ @uov fScSv, medium. It is at this great gathering of agricultural interests that values are made and prices set which govern, in a measure, the markets in the inter- est of breeds of animals that stand highest in the scale of expert judg- ment. A first prize winner at the Danbury Fair has been accorded an honor in excellence and quality that at once increases the value in public est1mation. These trials and tests of quality are reputation standards and are greatly to be desired.
 That the Danbury Fair is constant ly growing in popularity and favor among the people there can be no question. It is fixed enterprise and each year sees new evidences of it's. substantial growth and development.
 The Fair this year will be held the week of October to 6. Tuesday the Flooded Stock will be paraded and there will be automobile races; We'd nesday,- Thursday, Friday and Satur- day speed contests, band concerts and special amuSementS will make every minute lively one. There is always life and animation at the Danbury Fair and this years exhibition will be more interesting in every department than ever, as the Danbury Fair keeps pace with the times without losing that rural atmosphere of years agone that so delights the "old timers" and the new corners.
 Special trains will be run on all roads. Ask for Danbury Fair excur- sion tickets, they will take visitors di- rect to the Grounds.

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.


 Minot Sherman Adams celebrated his 8Sth birthday at the home Of his nephew, I. Frank Northrop, August 27. Several relatives called to offer congra ratulationS and his nephew and wife, Mir and Mrs Lewis B. Gray, of Huntington, came as a surprise and staid two days, a great pleasure to MT Adams, who is an invalid and has been confined to his bed and chair the past eight years. Several letters were re- ceived from distant relatives, ,One from Mrs M. E. Beardsley, niece, liv- ing in Monroe. Also one from J. A. Want, grand-nephew, living in Bridgeport, brimming full of fun, and "reminiscences of 25 years ago. The following lines, written by a nephew, Nelson Taylor of Bethel, will be read with interest by many dear relatives and friends who read THE VIEWPOINT BEE each week. Minot was the youngest child of Israel and Abigail Adams, was born in Bedding, and has outlived all of his family. The verses are as follows:
 TO UNCLE MINOT ON HIS EIGHrY-E'aHTH BIRTHDAY.
 There was @ baby once upon a time Whose ruling in the household had full sway, With N ali his fife 50 Souns and blight and gay; Since then near i've score years have passed Bringing their need of pleasure and of pain, The night of sorrow and the perfect day For what may now seem loss
 May be future gain.
 Since when this Infant life was thus begun There have been many changes here o9 Earth, Mans great battles have been lost and won, And many fine inventions have had birth. Of fire and flood and wreck there's been no dearth
 Man is the victim of thousand ills.
 His boasted valor is Of little worth: . ,,,,.
 As we'll as fiery blast from out the sundered Most of the ills that ! vsx the human a race: The fatal accidents of time and place Have been avoided while his race was run. Nov when his pilgrimage is almost done, In looking backward where his feet have trod, He we'll may wonder whence it was begun, The germs of life that quicken cen the sod Grow up at last to have consciousness of How much of life is lived in four score years! The seasons come and goa pleasing change! Nature, like man, hath moods of smiles and The summer sunshine and the autumn rains. Amid the stress and storm the harvest gains It's full fruition and it's perfect state.
 Hence on our inmost hearts the thought re- That tho our lives be not considered great, He doeth well who learns to labor and to wait Bis life runs smoothly like gentle tide, We well may view it with an honest pride. And praise t,,a6 the heart sometimes so sorely Nov may the autumn of his days be blest, And with him still may health and strength And when the star of hope sinks to the west May the glad morn bring peace and joy and
 Heavenly rest.
