i Fair lovers of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ne^ York are just now perking up in .anticipation of the annual exhibition of the Inter-State Fair Association at Trenton this year, opening Monday, September 28. and closing the following Friday, ibis Fair will i present a series of novel features. Sec- ! retary Mahlon R. Margerum having arranged to have unusually big and at- ! tractive events for each day of the ' five. In making room for the features, j none of the traditional institutions of ! the Trenton Fair has been sacrificed, consequently ail of the departments for exhibition purposes will be mainfiBped at the same high standard of fast years .with departures enough added to set the displays of 1908 materially ahead of those of 1907.

Governor Fort in his address to the legialatare, and be is evidently determined that it still be given serious consideration. He has , interested .in it some of the foremost [ citizens of the state, who at a later J day, will get together land discuss the project with a view to presenting it to the people in a comprehensive form so ; that, when they are caUed.upon to vote: - for or against .it, they may do so in1 telligently. <• » • i Strang effort was made by the im- ; ported anti-saloonists to secure a canJ didate to oppose Corvsille E. §tille (0r ; renomination on the Republican ticket for the Assembly, but theii efforts ■ were unavailing, because Stille's rec- : ord in the legislature during the two terms in which he has held the posii . tio$jf representative jn the Assembly . has beta entirely satisfactory to Rej publicans in general, and his position ; on the local option question correct, j Since the anti-saloon .lobbyists would ! : not consent to any amendments to the j I proposed by them he supported Assemblyman Fake's- referendum bill 1 ! which would have placed the question .the people where it should be decided.
