The Fair, Thursday and Friday, was a suscess. The weather was perfect, and people crowded the grounds. The display of agricultural and farm implements and products was small, but there weie fast horses on the ground to suit all lovers of this class of sport. For onee in the history of Fairs in Monroe county the grunters and kickers did not meddle, and as a result everything ran along smoothly, pleasantly and moraily enough so, anyhow to make it seem more lika a Fair than anything that has beep seephere in many a day. One of the fast uacors at the
Fair last week made a mark of
2:1 1). It will be remembered when 2:40 was regarded as a phe
nomenal rate of speed.

Rain begua to descend at 1 o'elock Saturday morning, and came down steadily all day. As a result tho Fair program was of course declared off. It was jerevoking. Why is it thai people -will stand upon the street corners waiting all day for a show procession, but cauuot be gotten to work an hour or two for any amount of money. Thoy say they find it
easier to "hit" the township Trus
tee, and that "tho State owes 'em a living." Good people, aad we
