I hope everybody has started in on n remarkably happy new year, and that for a season the coming one will beat any we have yet had. To be right on the job and to get things on time I have set the dates for thisyear’sLivingston andOntano carnival, August 7-8-9-10-11-12. com mencing Monday evening, as usual, and continuing all the week. These dates are the first announced this year for any public doings, and as the L. & 0. at Livonia is an es tablished success and has been on earth for five years, the coming one being the sixth annual, these dates ought to be let alone by other people who have to do with attractions, and steered clear of in setting dates for doings in other towns more or less near by. The Geneseo Chautauqua bumped into us last year, and they will hold one there this year, but we have staked out our claim for dates early enough so that they can cer tainly be dodged this year if any one in authority tries. We are ahead of all the fairs, and ought to be al lowed our place in line every year the same as all the rest of the out door entertainments of the season, for the people like to come to our yearly carnivals, which are different from all the rest, and have been re fined, modified, and nearly doubled in sterling attractions until they have assumed such proportions, solidity and refined attraction that they might well be termed inrkpen- dent mid-summer Chautauquas of action and music. There will not be much sum about the carnival of itfHj in thdse talks until the summer be gins to open, but a standing line •at the head will K>jpp you all re minded for the next seven months f just when it is to come off, and ny newspaper in the two counties •n refer to it any week and so can any one interested in other enter? tai'hments.so if other attractions are arranged for in other towns on our dates' it will look like a plain case oc assuming thHt no one cares for ai y thing outside of-what happens in their own immediate circle. Good ronds and auto transportation, coupled with a firat-class series of entertainments each year, has made the Livingston and Ontario carnival something more than a name but a matter of interest to not only the amusement loving people of the two counties, but to many others. The annual meeting of the Hemlock fair association is to be held next Wednesday, the twelfth, and f hope that every present officer of the so ciety will be elected by acclamation, a compliment due them all for their remarkable achievement of coming out better than even on a three days fair with two days of rain and mud, Take off your hats to these boys, friends, and put them all in again with a hurrah. I have been told that they have a society in this village whose purpose is to endeavor to right wrongs and misunderstandings as well as to elect officers, pass resolu tions,and appoint committees, which is usually the chief business accom- pi;.-'- -i by what are called reform /• tions.
