NORTH ELLSWORTH FAIR.
Splendid Exhibition of Apples = Pre-
miums Awarded.

miums Awarded.
The fair OF the North Ellsworth Farm
ers' club Wednesday and Thursday OF last
week was a splendid object lesson OF the
result Of improved methods of farming
and orcharding which the farmers OF that
section have adopted. The exhibition OF
apples was pronounced by unprejudiced
visitors as ndoubtediy the best ever
shown in Hancock county. There was
also an excellent display of produce, and
the domestic department was better than
ever before at this fair.
The only disappointing feature was the
attendance, which was not what 1t should
have been. This was doubtless due to
the cutting out OF horse-racing and other
amusements which, while acting rs draw
ing cards, have no real place In en- sgri-
cultural fair. The real object Of the fair,
the development OF agricultural interest,
lost nothing. North Ellsworth farmers
are setting the pace for the rest of Han
cock county.
