The COUNTY FAIR

This is an agricultural country,
and whatever develops the agri-
cultural interests of the country
helps build it up to just that ex-
tent, and there is nothing that
will do more along these lines
than the county fair, or the com
munity fair, if we go at it in the
way.
AS we understand it, the pur-
pose of fair is to display the
products of the country to the end
that people who visit it may see
what can be done in the way of
raising fine stock and growing
fine crops. People are supposed
to visit a fair to see these things;
to learn something that will help
them and help the country. A
circus, with side shows and the
fakes that follow in its wake, is
not worth anything to the coun-
try, and the fair that encourages
these amusements will not reach
its full possibilities. The circus
at a fair draws the attention of
many people away from tn e
things that are the true purpose
of a fair and they are lost sight
of, and the people then go to a
fair as TO a circus, for amusement
only. Better small beginning
along right lines than a big dis.
play in the wrong direction the
one will grow and result in great
good, while the other will result
in failure.
The exhibits that Hampstead
county can make should afford
entertainment to any man who
goes TO a fair in the proper fair
spirit; that is, to learn something
useful himself and furnish some.
thing that will be useful to 9th
ers. Our fine stock, poultry, veg
etables, fruits and all the pro.
ducts of the field and garden
should and will interest us if we
visit our fairs with the right pur-
pose in view, and if we do not,
the far is not worth anything to
us and we are not worth ANYTHING
to the fair.
Let us go to the fair to see what
our neighbors can do and to show
our neighbors what we can do,
then it will be interesting and re-
suit in good to all.

Night Blooming Cereus
Interests Many Persons

The State Normal school green.
house has been opened two evenings
in the past week from nine to eleven
On each occasion the attraction was
a single flower, the night blooming
cereus grandifloris, a native of the
arid regions of Mexico and the West
Indies. About 200 persons saw the
cereus on Monday evening after the
production of HiaWatha's Childhood,
and visitors continued to come until
1890.
The blossom is from nine to ten
inches in diameter, a beautiful form
showing exquisite color combinations
of pure white, cream, and straw
colors. 1t opens at about $3.50 D.
M and closes with the morning light,
not to open again. The night bios.
soming cereus in this part of the
country opens so late that no notice
can be given to the public in time to
see this flower. IT,
A number of blossoms are expected
during the next two months from two
species of cereus and a phyllocatus,
and Miss Perrine, curator of the
museum, informs us that the only
authentic notice of poisoning will
be a lighted greenhouse after 9
o'clock. Those who have never seen
the cereus grandiforis in blossom
will find a visit to the greenhouse
WORTH while. All persons interest
ed are invited to visit the green
house whenever it is light after the
curfew whistle time. ..s.~
