visitors and everybody seemed TO

The particular feature of the
afternoon program was the address
of Hon. Judge b. G. Young. The
speaker referred to the farmer as the
saviour of the country and praised
his morals and honesty. The address
was interesting in the extreme and
was especially appreciated by the
farmers in assembly.

due to the fact that the Prospect
liquor men would not pay for fire
works to be displayed at Casts
grove where a temperance speech

temperance speech and consequently
each had a program Of its own.

and the best of order prevailed The
weather could not have been more
favorable for the occasion and the
management was enthusiastic over
its marked success.
