A SUCCESSFUL COUNTY FAIR.

While the county fair of many of the western central states has been lan- gushing or become entirely extinct of late years as a result of the greater in- terest and attention which has been given the big state fairs, the same thing is not true of the eastern states
 We noted recently the case of an old fashioned county fair in Vermont which was attended by 23,0OO people and at which 500 pure bred cattle, 300 thoroughbred sheep and 1,5OO full blooded fowls were exhibited The fair in question was remarkable also in that the people attended because of their real interest in agricultural and animal husbandry matters. as there was not sideshow or vaudeville fea- ture on the grounds of any description. In this respect eastern folk certainly have westerners at a disadvantage.

The ve,mont lae. For Saving. Bank.

The Ludlow Tribune thinks that the
idea OF savings banks keeping Vermont
money at home will appeal to Vermont
ers. In commenting on this particular
feature OF the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust company OF Hyde Park,
it says:-
Last Thursday this bank passed the
million dollar mark in its assets-and not
single cent of it invested outside of Yer
mont. So distinctively Vermont flavor
naturally appeals to the taste of Vermont
ers, because it smacks OF leveI-hcaded
management and a safety which is quite
assuring. Congratulations are certainly
in order.
Commencing January, 1905, this bank
will pay four per cent compounded semi
annually on all deposits, large and small
alike; will pay taxes on all sums up to
$1,000 and will issue pass books with no
limits as to times of withdrawal or other
restrictions or limitations save those COM
mon to all Vermont Savings banks. De-
posits made on or before Feb. 18th will
draw interest from Jan. ist, those after
Feb. 10Th from Apr. LIST.
