FAIR AT FULL SWING.
Large Entries in All Exhibits. Races
Promise to Be Exciting. Vaudeville
Excellent.

AS we go to press this afternoon the
18th Annual Orleans County fair is at
full swing. Perfect weather favored
the management and the crowd to-day
insures a grand success. Treasurer
Pierce stated last night that many
more tickets were sold yesterday than
on Tuesday last year. Up to noon
to-day as many tickets had been sold
as on any Wednesday previous except
on that banner $4,000 day., record
hard to beat. Secretary Barrows says
the live stock and cattle exhibit eclip-
ses anything in late years and the
floral hall and poultry show is the larg-
est in the history of the fair, there
being over $50 exhibits in the poultry
department alone. The stage attrac-
tions are excellen. and the races thus
far promise to be fast. j. H. Harpin
is the starter this year. The ball
game this forenoon proved to be the
best drawing card of the day as the
crowd about the diamond indicated.
When Barton and Barton Landing
teams meet there is sure to be close
and good game of ball and everyone
wanted to see this game. The score
was to l in favor of Barton. The
game was hard fought one at every
point.

Rev. P. B. Fiske a Candidate fo
Chaplain of House.

The Rev. Perrin B. Fiske, pastor of
the Congregational church at Plain
field, is to be candidate for chaplain
of the Vermont house of representa-
tives, and he is receiving cordial sup
port from many quarters. He is a
Vermonter, born in The town of Waits
field and following his graduation from
the Bangor Theological seminary had
preached in Vermont for many years,
the greater part of the time in the
ministry has been passed in Caledonia
county, and he has been pastor of the
Congregational church at Plainfield for
two years. He is we'll liked both as
minister and man. 1t was largely due
to his efforts that a memorial tablet
was recently placed at Greensboro to
commemorate the meeting of the first
Sabbath school in Vermont.

publishing this class of supplement we
greatly misjudged the time we thought
it would take to get it out. We didn't
figure on quite so many delays by the
photographer, so much wasted time by
the engravers and so much time on
preparation in our Office. But it is a
beauty. The first installment of over
40 cuts has arrived from the engravers.
When you see the sheet you will not be
disappointed.
Last spring the editor sampled sew
eral catches of fish and pronounced
them good. 1t is now fruit time and
within the past week we have been ia
vored with two oddities in this line.
Mrs. N. A. Smith of Glover presented
the editor with an apple and two nice
apple blossoms from the sSfne tree
picked at the same time. The apple
was sound and good and the blossom
was as fragrant as those of June. On
the same day Mrs. H. j. Stannard pre-
sented us with two very fine canta
loupes or muskmelons, grown at the
Case farm by her father. They were
of very fine flavor and were fully better
Than those on the market, grown in the
southern states. She says the vines
have borne abundantly this fall ano
that all the melons have been sweet
and OF average size.

RUN OVER BY TRAIN.
Frank Kendrick Run Over by One of
Night Trains Wednesday and
Nearly Loses Life.

Frank Kendrick, a painter, 35 years
old, came near losing his life by being
run over by one of the night trains
Thursday morning. He with others
had been to the Sherbrooke fair and
returned on this train. When the train
started Mr.. Kendrick in some way fell
under the trucks and his right arm
was terribly mangled and the left hand
crushed and severe head wounds re-
ceived as the train passed over him
A special ordered from Newport
took the bleeding body to St. Johns
bury at once, where he was rushed to
the Brightlook hospital, but operation
was deferred till Saturday owing to
the weak condition of the patient
from the loss of blood. On Saturday
an operation was performed and the
right arm amputated at the shoulder,
two fingers of the left hand taken off
and the scalp wounds dressed. Mr..
Kendrick is gaining and will probably
recover, though it was thought at one
time that recovery was doubtful.

Caspian Lake Musical Convention.

This report was unavoidably delayed
in publication. ed
The yearly matinee and concert given
by the Caspian Lake Musical associa-
tion were held in the afternoon and
evening of August 20 and 21. The or
ganiZation of the chorus of forty voices
was effected on the morning of the
10Th. During the three days following
the chorus met seven times for re-
hearsal under the effective leadership
of Mr.. Chas. S. Conant of Concord, N.
H., Miss Stella B. Crane of Boston
and Miss L. Adella Beane of Concord
acting as accompanist. Among the
selections rendered were columbia
Beloved" Lovely Appear" and
'The Village Blacksmith. The in
strumental and vocal solos, quartettes,
etc, which filled out the programs were
of high order. The Caspian Lake Or
chestra gave valuable assistance.
Those in charge of the convention
entertain high hopes for the future of
the association because of this and past
successes. The enterprise is receiving
practical encouragement from the peo-
pie of Greensboro and surrounding
country as we'll as the hundreds of
summer visitors on the lake shores of
Caspian Lake. To these and to all

Barton Baseball Notes

Herewith is the score of one of the
Woodstock games. accounts of which
were given last week.
This week closes the ball season.
The game Friday on the fair grounds
between Barton and Barton Landing is
the last game.
The ball game yesterday between
Barton and Barton Landing resulted in
favor of Barton Landing by score of
2 to l, in a fast. clean and exciting
game. People little realize the high
class of ball played here this summer,
as the score of many games has
shown.
The Barton and Barton Landing
baseball columns in this paper this
summer have been largely conducted by
the two managers. The editor has
been kicked some at both villages
for what was said in the other column
while he was not responsible for
either. But We expected it. (Ed.)

Talks With Subscribers

Every person not paid to date in
advance of October / was mailed let
ter Monday stating that the paper
would be stopped on that date unless
paid in advance as required by the
new postal ruling. Already large
number have sent in their renewal.
Three people stopped their paper last
week. One because we had favored
the Barton baseball team in the write
ups (none of which the editor has
made), another because we published
the picture of Prouty on the front
page, he being no friend of Prouty, the
third because there was an error in his
account. The first two we pity, not
because they don't want to read the
Monitor, but because their narrow
mindedness will not allow them to read
anything that doesn't agree with
their ideas. The last we should like
to employ in our Office, his letter indi.
eating that he could not make a mis-.
take () Of course the editor felt
mighty worked up, but then, three
times as many new names went onto
the list as there were of those whe
stopped.
Mr.. Phillips, our agent, will be il

Holland and that territory next week
He is paying strict attention to tht

tions at the Monitor desk in the flora

That means crowds.
One ''fairker" who had always here
tofore got a stand was not admitted
this year. He came to the Monitor
office and vented his feelings. Blu,
his was game of chance, and the
management propose to have all thai
done away with as much as possible.

The Ministry of Hassan.

The Ministry of Hassan.
In memory of Marshall E. McClary,
whose obituary appears on page three
under Greensboro items.
By clear we'll beside lonely road
Hassan the humble had his poor abode.
He could not roam about in search of
fame
And noble deeds. for he was bent and
lame.
No eyes smiled back to his at night or
And evermore he mourned, '.Why was
/ born?"
What good can l achieve, why do I
live,
Who have no strength to strive,
No gold to give?
Others are opulent, beloved, renowned;
What can l reach,
Why cumber | the ground?''
Even then a honey-bee in passing fell,
Burdened with pollen, in his crystal
well,
And Hassan raised it as it struggling
lay,
Dried its wet wings and sped it on it's
way
And still repining sought his daily toll,
Digging and watering the needy soil
About his grapevine, that he might
one day
Share the ripe fruit with those who
came that way.
He pruned the cruel thorns and briars
that tore
The feet and robes of travellers by his
door.
He picked the sharp stones from the
trodden way
Where barefoot pilgrims plodded day
by day
And beggar children with unsandaled
feet
Wandered along in WEAKNESS and heat.
He brought them in his carven cocoa
shell
Draughts of sweet water from his liv-
ing well.
He found the lost lamb wandering from
And soothed its shivering by his CHM
ney stone.
Spared the poor moth that sought his
taper's blaze
And fed the hungry birds on winter
days,
Saved the weak fiedgling fallen from
Gained its wild fear and warmed it in
his breast.
Rescued the firefly from the SPIDERS
snare
And sent it on its shining path in air;
And was helper and friend indeed
To every suffering creature in its need.
Yet all the while bemoaned his lack of
worth
And marvelled what his use could be
on earth.
But when his blameless days had all
passed by
; And Hassan sought his bed of boughs
to die,
A tall white angel stood beside him
And said. "Thou hast had many ills to
bear,
Oh Hassan, and hast grieved in soli-
tude
Because thou could'st not do great
deeds of good;
But since thou hast consoled the hum
blest things
That weep or crawl on earth or soar on
wings,
Cherishing all with thy broad charity,
Behold, beloved, thou didst it unto
me-"
; Then Hassan saw how blindly he had
wept
His narrow powers and he smiled and
slept.
