4 Northtela Fair Next Week.
The managers Of Dog River valley fair
have spared neither pains nor money 10
make their 35th annual meeting the most
successful in It's history,
/ The grounds have been thoroughly
cleaned up, the race track put in first
class condition, buildings have been re-
paired wherever needed, and new ones
/ have been erected that viii afford more
and better quarters for both man and
beast.
Attractions OF high order have been Sc
cured which will take place at intervals
during each day while harmless and edu-
eational features OF amusement have been
secured to please the young, as well as
the old,
One thing, however, we wish to have
all bear In mind, namely, that no great or
good exhibit can be had unless i comes
| through individual effort. The person
who attends a fair and brings no exhibit
Tor any OF the many classes, and then
turns around and hnds fault because Of
the seanty exhibit, OF It's inferior quality,
leaving at home hat he or she claims 20
be better than those ON exhibition, Is the
enc upon whom the burden ot the blame
rests ior the shortage Of which he com
plains.
We open our competition 10 the world
and bid them welcome. We want 10 see
every department filed 10 oyertiowlng
and 10 that end we have offered liberal
prizes. At our last annual exhibition we
gave $500 in premiums TO Floral hall
alone. This year we hope the exhibits
viii justify the giving Of as much or
more.
One other thing we would call to atten-
tion OF fair-golng people, l. e., that we
! have the most unique fair grounds in the
world. nature herself made Il so, and
maintain an enviable reputation of hav-
ing one OF the best fairs in Vermont,
while we charge only about one-halt the
admission Zee OF fairs Of less repute and
smaller exhibits.
GOV. Fletcher d. Proctor has been in
yited to be present during the fair and
, sneak for a short time and a ten-minute
talk from him is worth the admission fee
charged.
Come one, come all, and bring with you
some product OF the farm and field; Of all
the animals that help 10 feed and clothe
us; of all meritorious articles in mechani-
cal arts. IN ult dfAn anu AANAit0AN AAeAAA
features, remembering that il is by COM
parison that we are enabled TO discrimin-
: ate between the good and the poor, and
that competition is the great incentive

Prof G. II. Perkins of Burlington,
state geologist, was here Monday to ex-
anime the Beedle granite quarry at Mr..
: Beedle's request.
+ A big granite manufacturing concern
has become interested in this stone, and
its representatives have several times
looked over the prospect, and made con
ditional proposals to Mr.. Beedle for open
n ing ii that are acceptable to the owner
5 This concern, fully satisfied as to the
/ high merit OF the granite, only wants rea
s sonable assurance that the deposit is 6
L large one and has suggested to Mr.. Bee
;: die that he dig trenches down the hillside
!. in various directions to determine how
, mnch granite there is within working
! reach. Prof. Perkins was summoned Z
= advise Mr.. Beedle as to the probable ex
y tent of the deposit, so far as he eoulc

81 boring machine might be used to soun'

es Prof. Perkins report, in letter re
y ceived yesterday, is as follows:-
al Mr.. A. H. Beedle, Dear Sir
Having recently examined the gran
ite property owned by you in the sout
Up part of the town of Randolph, ] may re
"a - port as follows:-
ad First, location-I find the granite eA
Ut posed at various points for a consider
as able distance along a somewhat stee
hillside about a mile from the Randolp
ea railway station. For all purposes
X auarrying, the location is very goot
eo Excavations could be easily drained
ed probably no pump would be require
even if a large amount OF quarryln
Is, should be done. There would be 7
III, trouble in disposing of the waste. III
distance from the track of the c. V. raj
ez, way is, ! should Judge, not more tina
three-fourths of a mile, probably less, an
W from the base of the hill the ground
al entirely level, so that spur track coul
easily be built, which would reach u
W quarry.
Quantity-Judging from the vario'
exposures, | should say that gram
-, would be found in abundant quantity
y" supply extensive quarrying for an inde
mite period. ] have no doubt that lar
masses are covered by the surface soil al
also that the layers run down towar
the bottom OF the slope. There are ven
of quartz and masses of schist that m
to some extent interrupt the continui
ug- of the granite, but that the granite
"a. present in large amount fully believe.
am Quality-I have seen no other gram
III exactly like this. 1t most nearly rese
'lVe bles the white Bethel stone, but it IS me
Is compact, finer grained and gives surla
ach more uniform in shade. ! consider 1t
~ ~ a distinct variety.
tls- Yours truly,
led. G.. II. Perkins.
