HORSE LIKES FRENCH.
Martinmas, a Peculiar Animal, Does
Not Like the English.

Martlnmas Is peculiar race horse.
There is probably not another like
him In the world. He will not toler-
ate "rlbber" who talks English, but
insists on one who speaks French. He
was born and raised In France and
the "swipe" who brushed him down
morning and evening muttered the
dear old Paroo language into his ear.
The horse became so accustomed to
this kind OF talk that after he was
imported TO this country he missed It.
From a fast horse. a record breaker.

FISK NOTES.

Resolved, That government owner
ship of natural %monopolies is best for
the public good" was the subject Of
an interesting debate in the Senior
Class in Economics Monday and Tues
day. Affirmative speakers: G. T. Over
street and Miss Florence G. Jackson.
Negative: B. w. Payne and Miss M.
M. Houston. On the first day an hour
and a half was taken up by the speak
ers in presenting their main argu-
ments. On the second day nearly an
hour was taken up by Payne and
Overstreet in rebuttal. Both sides
had spent much time and labor in
preparing their arguments, and the
efficiency and weight of the arguments
on both sides were shown by the fact
that according to vote of the class the
debate was practically a draw, four
members of the class voting in favor
of the negative and three members
and Professor Morrow voting in IA
vor of the affirmative. Professor Serb
ner, with her Sophomore Rhetoric
Glass, visited the first day of the de
bate. Other visitors were President
Merrill, Miss Ballentine and Miss
Boynton, and on the second day Mr.
j.. C. Russell. Miss Ross, the actins
president of the class, was i'll those
two days, and Mr.. H. R. Merry was

SOUTHER N TRIP.

Tuskegee is an international word
known and read by all men on either
side of the waters, and everybody
feels the keenest interest in the in
stitution, be he white or black, for ed
ucation is blended into all nations
alike. If the brother in black is igno-
rant his shadow falls on his white
brother and God has made of n blood
all notions though the skin may be
white, black or red and yet the same
blood unchanged and what is the in
terest of one man must be the well
fare of all. From the time the
Emancipation Proclamation vas put
in force until now the races have been
%contending for more light and wisdom,
and it is believed to be the best mon
ey a parent can spend on his children.
The same money given to a heir might
be used as the Prodigal used his; but
an educated person can't spend his
education. He must hold to it.
Though he may not use it to the best
advantage, yet he can't be counted as
n without refinement. Education is
good for all; though he may be a pris-
oner of a free man, rich or poor, white
or black, he can find enjoyment in in
telligence.
If education made George Washing
ton a great man, why should it be
thought strange that it should make
Booker Washington a great man? The
same advantage given to all alike
must surely produce g nation of great
and useful people. Some nationalities
will be greater than others, the same
as ours; some seed sown produces
greater harvest than others. Some
soil is better, some has a greater ad
vantage in the season and some has
better attention than the other. This
is well illustrated by our great mer
and women of the race. Any one cal
easily see what education has done fol
our race. Will it not compare favora
bly, with any other people under thu
same circumstances? We have fur
nished u ratio of farmers, mechan
les, business and professional men.

Everything points to big fair this
year; every department is straining to
make the 63rd annual fair the biggest,
best and most complete in the history
of the society. A new added feature
which will not only be delight to the
children but admired by the larger ones,
will be an exhibit of genuine Shetland
ponies These ponies come from the
Shady Nook farm, managed by Mrs. E.
A. Preston. Every pony has been i'm
ported direct from the noted breeder, E.
A. Atterton of Aberdeen. These little
beauties will have tent all to themselves
where all will be welcome and it will
not cost yon anything extra.
There are very few people in Addison
county who stop to consider what the
county fair means these days. In 1901
the total premiums and purses offered
amounted to less than two thousand dol
lars, while this year they reach the grand
total of seven thousand dollars. In 1901
the purses for races were Just six hun
dred dollars while this year the society
offers three thousand dollars for the
horses to 90 after, and this alone should
make the attendance record breaker.
Too much praise cannot be given Col.
S. A. llsley for the way he has made Ad-
olson County's fair the best in the State
and each man, woman and child should
show their appreciation by attending the
fair this year, no matter what counter
attractions may appear. All the officials
of the fair are straining every endeavor
to make the fair the greatest in the his
tory of siXty-three years existence.
The stage attractions this year far
surpas- anything of its kind ever wit
messed in this State. Among the attrac-
tions will be Zeno, Jordan, and Zeno,
phenomenal gymnasts, introducing re-
fined comedy. The press notices of these
artists are of the highest order One of
the greatest acts in America is the Max
smith twins phenomenal feats on the un-
supported balancing ladders. The Max
smith twins will appear daily
Too much cannot be said about the
amazing and reckless performance of
Mile. Dolores Vallecita. 1t is bold, start
ling, risque, subjugated savagery, as
thrilling as it is educational; showing the
power of patience and gentleness over
a group of the most savage of animals,
1t is the most costly and beautiful
animal act ever exhibited, using the on
| ly aluminium arena ever built. This sem
sation will appear daily at the Addison
County Fair. Keep the dates in mind
for the real fair at Middlebury August
27, 2S, 80 and 30.

WEYBRlDGE MAN DROWNED.
Joseph Roberts Was in Bathing
with Friends When Cramps
Seized Him.

Joseph Roberts of Weybridge. aged "a
years, was drowned in eight feet of
water Monday afternoon while bathing
near Huntington Falls, or the lower pulp
mill. Roberts was with several friends
when he was seized with cramps and
called loudly for help. His companions
arrived too late, however, for the man
was dead when taken from the water.
As no water entered Mr.. Roberts lungs,
it is believed that he died from a weak
ness Of the heart, from which he had
long suffered.
The deceased is survived by wife and
small son, three years of age. He was
employed in the pulp mill. The funeral
was held from st. Mary's Church at min
o'clock Wednesday morning and the in
erment was in the Catholic cemetery.
