if you will have patience with
me, l will give you a few hap
penings from this place. The
first of which on my mind is the
grand birthday dinner given by
a lot (some 80 or more) of our
good lady neighbors and friends
of this community in honor of
my wife, Mrs. T. T. Baker, on
her seventy-frst birthday, which
was on The 23rd inst. They came
in early with welI-filled baskets
of some of everything in the
country that is nice and good to
eat. In quantity, it seemed to
me to feed a square meal to one
whole side of starving Belgium
and in quantity and quality the
like of which has never been
surpassed in this part of the
country. Well, while l am not
surprised in a common way at
any good thing that the women
in this community may do at any
time, because | know them and
I know that there is nothing

Christian spirit that prompted
these folks, thatiwe are so proud
to have as our neighbors and
friends to do this act and with
many thanks and wishing each
and all o. them a long life and
many happy birthdays on earth
is our prayer.

THE BIG COUNTY FAIR.

For 70 years the Addison County
Agricultural society has held success
full exhibition each year. There have.
of course, been adverse years, but never
yet has there been a time when the
public has not received full value for
the money; never a time when an
earnest. consistent effort was not made
to give fair each year better than the
last. Success has crowned the officers
efforts, and in this, the 10th year, the
officers are able to point proudly to an
ancient and honorable existence of the
fair, and to assure the slogan 'bigger
and better than ever" is to be fully
justified.
The Addison County fair is unique in
more than one respect: Unique because
it possesses working plant in grounds
and buildings far surprising anything
of the kind in county fairs. Unique also
in respect to its officers, who serve for
no pay and keep the great fair in mind
each month of the year, and who possess
wealth of experience, some of them
serving as officers for more than a
whole generation, and bring to the hand
ling of the business a ripe judgement
and ready hand that assures success
every time. AS a result the fair is on
safe basis and the great crowds that
are to come this year know that whether
they come for premiums or pleasure,
for instruction or amusement that they
will get satisfying completeness of
| both. 1t would surprise many to know
the large sums that are spent this year
| for free amusement alone. A troup of
European comedy artists, second to
none; aerial stunts of a thrilling and
amusing nature will be shown; and a
complete Wild West show which has
won the name of the best of the kind in
the country will give free exhibitions
each day of the fair Supt Remele has
secured for the midway attractions one
of the latest amusements a motordome.
This is the first of its kind to be seen in
this part of the country and will play ar
important part in the line of amuse-
ments.
All of the buildings have been put ir
good condition and one new building has
been added this season, making 29 III all
The new building is a model cattle barr
and has been built through the sub
scriptions of many of the livestock
breeders of the county in conjunction
wit Col. S. A. Ilsley.
