counties of the State. but the Com

it having made it's debut in this State
this year. 1t is a splendid idea and
has proven a success in every section
in which it has been tried. Other
communities would profit by it il they
would follow the example Of the sec
tons that have held these fairs and
go and do likewise next year.
1t was the writer's privilege TO at
tend one Of these fairs at Macon, in
Warren county, on Thursday of this
week. The number and the character
of the exhibits were a complete sur
prise to us. Only those living within a
radius of 5 miles of Macon are eligible
to enter exhibits. The display Of farm
products was as varied and as fine as
you ever saw at the State Fair. OF
course, they could not come within q
mile'' Of being as many Or covering as
much ground as at the State Fair. We
only refer to the excellence Of the
product shown.
And then there were the ladies de-
partmenC IN WH1cn was SHOWN needle
work, fancy work pantry supplies,
canning club work. etc. All Of these
| exhibits were shown in the graded
school building.
! In the rear Of the school building
a lot had been fenced off in which
was displayed the live stock, and
poultry. This display demonstrated
the fact that the farmers in the
| neighbOrhood of Macon can grow just
as fine cattle, horses, hogs and pOul-
try as are to be found n any section
of the State.

address at the opening of the fair. Hi
subject was THE Farmers Oppor

an audience that was eager to Sathe
in every new point that would aid tn,

and better living
This is the first year OF the Com

ST. PAUL CANAL NOT

Washington, March 3-AltLo2gh the war departments egniaeec corps has disapproved officially O. the project to have a canal from uLe Mississippi at St. Paul to LaSe Superior, they have decided that ;he citizens of that section shall have a chance to be heard on the proposal.
 Date for hearing has not been os- tlciauy set, but the war department las announced that full opportuni- r. will be given to all to present their views on the matter.
 The special board report shows that q careful examination Of the project does not warrant the gov IrETeut in making the required outlay, according to a recent off, cial statement.
 Such a project would be as gre2t, or greater than the Erie canal pro ject originally was. The cost would mount into millions, and the eng."- pers could not find that this amount would be expended profitably.

The present town council is de- serving of great praise from the people of the town for putting in the new sidewalk on the west site of State, between Second and TweE- tv Third streets. It is q boon to all who live in the north end Of town, for before it was built they walked along the old one with fear and trembling, in momentary expec- taLion of stepping or weak board and going through or else having a whole section collapse under their weight.
 Since the improvement was made, hcWsJ CT, the west side of state street has in a manner become boulevard up which the young folk idly sumter of a Sunday af- 'ernoon, over which the office clerks hasten on their daily constitutional, anG where in the stilly night or uron occasion even in the blaze of the mondays sun, the enamored swain may safely indulge in
