The town election will take place the first
Monday in October. and already we hear of
several gentlemen named as probable can-
didates for selectmen. etc. This end of the
town will probablybe represented in the
board by either Judge Craw. Gcn'l ’l‘homas
Guyer or Wrn. 8. Burton. Esq. Mr. C. W.
Smith isnot scandidste. We have been
trying to think up a plan whereby they
might all be elected. but have not yet Sgub
ed it out to our satisfaction. The borough
has some rights that must be respected.
Notwithstanding the fact that the above
would make a moat emclent Board of Se
lectmen. we shall have to give the other end
of the town its proportion of members.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.
The Fairdeld County Agricultural Socie-
ty has provided ample grounds— thirty
acres—incloacd with a good substantial.
high. tight board fence; they have proba~
bly as good a half mile track as any in the
state; two buildings. one 50 x 160. and the
other45 x we. connecting and comment
eating with each other. making a vast on-
closure for thedisplay of articles that need
shelter. and at the same time leaving ample
room for the visitors to pass between the
tables. etc. it is brilliantly illuminated by
gas in the evening. Within the building a
raised platform is erected for the band or
public speaking. In one end a large dining
room is partitioned of. 50 x 25 feel. making
it very convenient for those wishing to pro-
cure rneals. Water is introduced on the
grounds and into the building. It will thus
be seen that the society has done its part.
and it only remains for the people to do
theirs to make it a grand success.
The society may provide all they have
provided. and still the fair prove a failure
unless aproper interest is manifested by the
people of the county. Each person should.
in the first place. exhibit what they can
themselves. and next use every efl'ort to
have their friends do the same. You have
got the articles. and all there is for you 1.9
do is to exhibit them. or enter them fo‘rx
competition. This is the way to make it the
most pleasant and useful occasion of the
season. Will you do your part f

We are pleased to announce that our
South Norwalk schools have opened in a
very satisfactory manner. The attendance
has already reached 610. which is pleasing
evidence that our people intend to have
their children icon no time. Last yearthe
school opened in October with an attend-
ance of but 850. and that it has nearly
doubled in one year is positive proof that a
lively interest is being taken in educational
enairnsnd an endorsement of the present
plsnof conducting our public schools.
ltwas a pleasing sight to see. on the open
ing morning. our streets thronged with
neatly attired and bright faced children on
their way to school, and it must have so-
couraged the teachers. both old and new. to
haveseen their respective rooms filled to
overflowing.
The High School grade has now become
an important feature of the Union School.
This grade new numbers fifty-two scholars,
and launder the charge of Ir. D. L. lib
lard. a wide awake and eflciut teacher and
thorough scholar. New furniture bu been
ordered for this room. and the accommoda-
tions will be ample for all who wish to pur-
me advanced studies.

Some of thebeat minds in the country

production of such a system. and as a con-

every change brings about corresponding

see that the changes were for the advantage
of the children. they will become satisfied.
To this end the teachers and officers of
the schools should bend every energy to
produce such a result. Before changes of

the new plan will work with the children

Re-tmiou of the Neptune Club.
The eighth annual reunion of the Nop.

Book and Ladder Company. Norwalk. last
Friday evening. was the largest assembly of
“ Nope" ever convened at any reunion since
the organisation of the club. All the mom-

present. and several. who could not go with
them to the old haunts. Nantucket. Martha's’
Vineyard. and Oak Binds. were present to
hear of the good things and many enjoy-
ments they missed.
The brat business in order was the election
of othcers. which resulted in the reelection
of the ones of last your. without a dissenting
voice. Of course. we don‘t consider the
Pioneer when we are writing of elections.
It seems to, be his duty to vote no every
time. He’s a little clue. but he‘s spunky.
and the way he brought out those “ Nu-o-os“
astonished the uninitiated.

The Bridgeport Farmer saysz—Tbe second
attempt made by Mr. John F. Lucey. Tues-
day afternoon. to cross the sound by kite
power. proved entirely successful. After
the loss of the first kite another was procur-
ed and at two o'clock “sail" was again hols-
tcd. care being taken to fasten the line ae-
curely to the boot. The kits was to feet by
'8. was made of cloth and had 100 feet of
tall. The boat was an ordinary 18 foot row
boat and was provided with a rudder. Mr.
Charles Booth was the only passenger be-
sid Mr. Lacey. At first. 000 feet of line
was out and the boat was soon skimming
the waves at a lively rate. When about
half way across the sound the line was
shortened about 900 feet. it was Mr. La-
cey‘s intention to go directly across to Port
Jefferson. and as the wind was blowing

little steering was necessary to keep the boat
on her course. They found however. that
by the use of the rudder they could keep
the boat at least six points to the wind-
ward. The last few miles of the trip the
wind freabened and the speed of the boat
much increased. Port Jeflbrson was reach‘
ed at 5:15 P. M. the trip having been made
in two hours and fifteen minutes. and heat
ing a good sail boat more than an hour. The
boat shipped no water and the passengers
