Big List Premiums
For Worlds Fair
At Windsor

The premium lists for the 37th
annual exhibition of the South Ken
-nebec Agricultural Society which
will be held at South Windsor.
September !. and 8, opening as
usual on Labor Day. are now being
sent out. In line with the general
policy of this old institution, to pass
along to its patrons whatever of
prosperity comes it's way, substan-
tial increases of premiums are made
in various departments. OF interest
to all, and particularly to exhibitors
of neat stock, it the effort being made
to induce display of cattle the first
Gay as well as the second. To pro-
duce this desirable result q novel
plan has been evolved. Those eXhib-
itors of neat stock who show their
cattle the second day only as hereto
fore, will receive premiums as offered
in the list. On the other hand, those
who bring their stock the first day
also, will receive a bonus of twenty
percent of such premiums as are reg
ularly awarded, to be added thereto
Shelter and hay for the stock will be
furnished free to such as remain on
the grounds overnight.
In the draft animals department, n
class has been arranged for six OK
teams. 1t is stipulated that the
three pairs of bovines must be owned
by one man or firm. There are sew
cral owners of these faithful and
powerful friends/of man in this sec
ton of the state and it is expected
keen rivalry will result Great care
is exercised to insure that the pulling
contests are conducted humanely and
properly.
&c. - L,,.I
hibit and to this end special efforts
will be put forth to bring out az old
fashioned exhibit. 1.-THE premiums
for grange exhibits are continued as
formerly. Already two oranges have
signified their intention to make a
display. There will yet be some space
however, which could be profitably
used by dealers in showing their
wares.
Considerable activity Is being
manifested at the grounds. Much re-
pairing to the buildings and fences
has already been done, and more is
projected. The main entrance. which
has been inadequate to handle the
increasing crowds which attend this
popular fair, has been enlarged so as
to allow two lines of vehicles to move
at the same time. This will be
pleasing news to the thousands who,
ir former years have been forced to
wait in the congestion at the en-
trance.
Superintendent Bullock of the mid
way reports that the demand for
space has been unprecedented. AL
together 1t is safe to say that with
the usual good show seen at the
South Kennebec fair. consisting Of
the agricultural display, the horse
races. the midway. etc. people are
always sure of getting their moneys
worth.

Land Auction at Grimes Cove

A genuine land boom was launched
Saturday. Aug. IS. when the proper
ty held by the late Judge George b.
Remission of Boothbay, was sold at
an auction held at Grimes cove.
Some 40 lots were sold, bringing fair
prices. Forrest Ware of North
Whitefield, was the auctioneer, and
he convinced his hearers that every
lot was a prize package and that
some of the buyers would no doubt
find the lost treasure of the late Ia
mented Captain Kidd, he of the
shady reputation. No doubt many
of these lots will be built on this
season and many others in the
spring. Two of the recent purchas-
ers who it is understood will build at
once are William Clark of Augusta
and Mr.. Ernest Green, New York
artist.

Boothbav SeIectnen Meet Pointers

A profitable meeting was held at

the selectmen of Boothbay met in an
informal way a lumber of Ocean
Pointers. Matters of interest con-
corning the relation of Ocean Point
and the town of Boothbay were dis
cussed and much valuable Informal
ton was obtained. The assessed
valuation of Ocean Point property
is about 100000. This valuation
represents about one-eighth of the
total valuation of the town. The
new cottages built this summer will
add at least $4,000 to the present
valuation. and will increase the tax
paid by practically $1,000. Good
roads are essential to the future of
this growing colony and the town
seems disposed to do everything
possible to meet the needs of the
Point. The selectmen are hopeful
that the state aid road will be ex-
tended to the Point within two years.

real help to their pupils. The
cost of the books will aggrre-
