Judge others, and at such times as this

notice that most of us, middle aged and
past, love TO see old acquaintance, and
surely there is nowhere else so good
place as at our town Fair, where we
see those that seldom come out only
then, if living in neighboring towns.
The young people let 90 and nothing
pleases me more than to see our boys
and girls have good time, provided
they remember the golden rule.
