AFTERNOON - cREDTTABLE SHOW
ING OF STOCK AND PRODUCE
PREMIUMS AWARDED.


The Orland fair, Wednesday OF last
week, was favored with one OF the most
beautiful days OF the fall, all the more APP
preciated after the threatening weather Of
the day before.
There was generous outpouring OF
people from Orland and neighboring
towns, Bueksport sending its usual large
| representation. The attendance was not
as large as ct some previous fairs, but
there were people enough on hand to keep
the merry go-round whirling and the
fakirs taking.
| The baby show, an annual feature OF
the Orland fair took place in the after
noon. Owing to the prevalence of whoop-
ing cough in some sections, mothers were
cautious, and only seven babies were en-
tered.
The prize for the handsomest baby was
carried off by Emily Maud Soper, blue
eyed, golden-haired little miss Of sixteen
months. Lillian Bernice Kimball was the
heaviest baby. Souvenirs were also given
the Garland twins Rubie Eunice and
Reuben Ernest.
| AT the hall there was a good showing
of produce, though not large. Among the
articles exhibited in the curio department
were birch bark waste basket, by Mrs.
May L. Buck; slippers from Japan, by
Miss Hattie Wood; an ancient snuff box,
by Mrs. John Cotton; a cocoa pot, by Mrs,
Fred l.. Dorr, and lace wood, by Mrs.
Lizzie L. Reyes. There was fine display
OF flowers.
| Walter H. Gardner, Of Bucksport, made
| an exhibit Of cream separators.
The fair closed with dance at the hall
in the evening.
