We're Almost 300 Year. Old

Although number of tercentenary celebrations are being held in our state this year, the official recognition will not take place until 1885. As plans now stand it is hoped that every one of our 160 towns will participate in some fashion or another in this jubilee, if we may call it that. There are only few states that in this age will be privileged to celebrate a 3O0th anniversary. Maryland is now en- gagged in that pleasant task. Ours is to come soon.
 Colonel Samuel H. Fisher of LitchfeId, recently made chairman of the tercen- tennial commission, has outlined pro- gram that should meet with statewide ap- proval. As the colonel points out, Con- necticut has never been boastful state We have been going along hewing our own wood independently. But we are proud of our state. Here is chance to tell the world about it. To that end his- torical program is being arranged that will announce to every state that we have reached the ripe old age of 300.
 There will be, so we are informed, the customary attention to such details as commemorative coins and stamps, medals and souvenir plates, not to mention his toric markers at various sites now un- marked. The life and history of the state is being prepared in pamphlet form to sell at reasonable figure. To our minds, though, nothing will give a greater n- sight into the real development of Con. necticut than the industrial exhibit under consideration.
 In this Waterbury will play conspicu- ous part. Our mills and their products date back to the early days of Connecti- cut. There are in the possession now of local industries such articles as would constitute worthwhile exhibition trac- ing the history of manufacturing from the days of all-hand work down to this machine age. Waterbury can go back to it's 250th anniversary of recent memory to draw on it's plans for next year To that end we imagine that within the next few, months Mayor Hayes will name the local tercentenary commission.

While the coming Mothers Day stamp will be sold on the first day of issue at the Philatelic Agency in Washington, those desiring first day covers franked with the stamps should convey their requests to the Postmaster of Washington rather than to the Philatelic Agency. Only stamps are sold at the agency. It does not affix them to envelopes or fulfill sim liar requests from philatelists. The Moth er's Day stamps affords the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to extend itself We were hoping it would go in for two' colored issue, but reports seem to indicate the stamp will be the customary purple used on our three-cent stamps.

RALEIGH, Jan. IA spirited
beneath the surface contest IS
now going on between interests
both within and without the state
to get the lease for the North
Carolina fair next fall, provided
the state board Of agriculture de-
cides TO lease it. Some five or
six individuals are understood TO
be after the lease this year, now
that Norman Y. ChambliSs OF
Rocky Mount, who managed the
state fair last year for George
Hamid and the late Senator ".
III. Joyner, who leased it, made
such success out Of it. Under
the management of Chambliss and
with the assistance given him by
Hamid and his entire organIza-
ton from New York, the gross
receipts of the state fair last fall
amounted to almost $4,000 while
Hamidr and Joyner as lessons
made a net profit of $l5,2G6, Of
which the state will get 20 per
cent, or almost $4,000.
This is the first time since the
state took over the operation OF

from il whatever. In fact, every
time Ecfore the board of agricul-

$4,000 a year which the general
assembly formerly allotted to 1t,
but has usually incurred a slight

because Of this fact that the 1898
genera! assembly refused TO make
any appropriation for the state
fair and for a time it seemed
that there would be no far at all
in the fall Of 1893 until Mr.
Hamid and Senator Joyner finally
persuaded the board Of agricul-
ture to lease it TO them and then
employed Mr.. Chambhss to man
age it for them. 1t is now gen
orally that the 1888 fair was one
of the most successful the state
has ever had, with better exhibits,
