Patronising Public Demands Desperate Deeds for Cash.

Crown Point Star. There seemed to be some friction at the agricultural society meeting last Saturday between those who want a strictly agriculture and stock show, and those in favor of the modern exhibitions seem largely in the majority. argument is that the old fashioned county fairs will not be patronized, and the old regime claim the modern shows should drop the nape'of agriculture and be called carnivals or white cities. In fact, the time has come when people will not go anywhere without they believe they can see something desperate done. They are done with common things and every year want to go faster and see things never heard of before.
