an almost binding light, which some of
them describe as having given the effect OF
prolonged fash of lightning. They soon
discovered, however, that it was the passing
OF a brilliant aerolite aud that its course was
from east to west. 1t was near the earth,
and as it receded in the distance seemed to
curve downward. By the brilliant light

Contrary to the recent announcement by
the directors of the Agricultural Society OF
Montgomery County that the premiums
awarded at the 1907 exhibition would be

nouncement. OF course, discount Of 10
per cent. will be retained as usual under
the agreement upon which exhibitors enter

promise OF growth Of population and bu-
