The County Fair.
Well, it was a splendid success.
In the household and field crop
departments it was up to the
usual displays of the kind at the
State Fair. In live stock and
poultry we think it was fully
seventy-five per cent better than
last year. .The household de
partment gave abuadant evidence
that old Fairfield has many noble
'and tagatd pga '40DOVW
ing collectivey it was the best
and rost conveniently and -taste
fully'arranged exhibit of the kind
-*e ever. saw. The greatest im
provement was in the. poltry
display, but as we shall make our
next contribution- exiusively a
pouttry-acticle, we will not dis
cuss it-here.
Rveiy one-connected with the
fair, those who made exhibits or
those who served, deserve - much
piaise. Wenoted how diligently
and faithfully the various oiicers
applied themselves, but it was a
labor of love. There is- a - strong
ond widespread patriotic seenti
ment among Fairfield's citizons
and this made the fair what it
was-the real thing.
Now the object lessons of the
fair- and its value to. Fairfield.
'We will speak of the former for
the latter can hardly be measured
by dollais and centsi or the oi-di
nary mind. It s h o w e d what
Fairfield's people can do and are
doing. It was an agricultural
school an-l gave those who at
tended 9pportunity to measure
their efforts and abilities by
comparison. Itashould arouse in
the highestsens~e the spirit of
cotinty piide' and promote *a
friendly rivalry among our' peo
pie..tQ tuin out something .still
better thanjias~yeL been .produced.
That grand display 'can not fail
to create in the breast of every
one, uniless that cne be dead
bey ond all hope, a healthy and
laudable enthusiasm and desire
for more and better of the useful,
the good, an~d the beautiful things
of life. W1e told a friend that
we hoped he would be on hand to
Inspect th~e fine crops and the
live stock. "Oh," said he, "it
won't do me any good; those
things won't belong to me and I
am not able to buy them." But
unless he is a hopeles.s case he
would have been filled with a de
sire and determination to produce
such crops as he would have seen
.4 on display or to own and breed
such stock os was on hand. Desire
ought to produce effort and well
directed effort ought to be crown
-ed wvith .success. Could that
exhibit hiave, been sent to the
State Fair it would have been a
great advertisement for this
county.
Th. man who did not exhibit
and s.taid at home may sing, "I
could have beaten that." But
the man who was on hand has
-th snret of progres and takes

Orange County, in that State, it

had a-sheep-killing dog, of whose
dharacter in that respect he was
ignorant. But a few mornings
ago it was caught in the act of
killing sheep, with seven carcas
ses already in eadence on the
ground, and he -pAmptly shot it.
"Then lbe presented a bill to the
county commissioners for the 7
sheep killed. The commissioners
heard his story and laughed long
-and .loud over the proposition to
p a man for -sheep owned by
himself and killed by his own
dog. Then the farmer began ex
piting his knowledge: of the law
and the commissioners eorncluded
to call in the county attorney.
The attorney advised the com
missioners to settle and the far
mer thereupon drew' pay for his
sheep'killed by his own dog. It
is an application of the law to
which the - commissioners were
