The County Convention

We wish to call the attention of our friends
/ in the county 10 the suggestion of the County
| Committee, that at the Convention nominations
be made for the three County Commissioners,
and also for County Superintendent of Schools.
This latter officer will be for the several towns
to nominate, as the city has, in accordance with
provision ofthe law, elected to retain its sep
arate City School Superintendency. The nom
iDation can be made by the Delegates from the
several Towns, however, just as well as at a
Convention called for that especial purpose.
The Supervisor districts as established by the
Board of Supervisors in July last, are as fol-
lows:
LIST tct,-City of Kenosha.
End Dist-Pleasant Prairie, Somers, Bristol
and Paris.
Sd Dist Salem, Brighton, WheatIand and
Randall
The Delegates from the several Districts can,
when they are all together at the County Con-
vention, make nominations for Commissioners.
They will thus save time and expense. AS a
general thing, our people are not noted for
promptr sss in attending primary political meet
ngs or nominating Conventions, hence the few
er there are the better they will be attended,
We may get out full representation from every
town for one Convention, but we doubt if we
could for three or four. Especially is this the
case this fall, when mems minds are far more
taken up with the war and matters pertaining
to the whole country than with town or county
meetings or political caucusses.
Another reason for the nomination Of the
Commissioners at the Convention, is, that they
are to be elected on general ticket, as other
County officers are. Attorney General Howe
has written an opinion to that effect in the alb
sence of any special provision in reference to
the matter in law.
Few, If any of the Town or Ward Caucusses
have yet been held, and we would suggest that
the electors in caucusses instruct their Dele
gates to do up the whole business of max ing
nominations, at the County Convention.

The County Fair.

We wish to urge upon our friends throughout
| the County the Importance of attending and fur
nishing something for Exhibition at the coming
! County Fair. There can be no doubt as TO the
general beneficial results of these County Fairs
They are the means of disseminating much valu
able information in all branches that the farmer
and mechanic are more particularly interested in;
enable farmers, stock growers and horticulturists
to compare experiences and thus to find out the
best 1t creates spirit OF emulation and enter

The Executive Committee have taken unusual
pains this season to have this one of the most in
terestng Fairs the Society has ever held. Wehcpe
to see their efforts seconded by the peobe of the
county Among the extraordinary inducements
at this Fair VIII be the military display that has
been provided for. We give elsewhere notice
of the time when this part Of the exercises will take
place and also an intimation OF what the exercises
will be.
Let every body in city and county turn out to

At the commencement of the Spring Term, we
furnished our Il achers with Blank Reports re-

credit Of our teachers, we must say they have
all been prompt, not one failing to perform her
duty rs reques ed. Our teachers have all been
workers; each one seemed to feel pride in try

reward for their labors, they have the respect

Liberty High school,

The fall term Of this institution will commence
on the Esd of September and continue twelve
weeks, This School has attained considera-
bic degree popularity under the care of Mr.
M. NJ. Rice. Mr. Rice is well known as a first
class teacher. His intimate acquaintance with
the various branches, his familiar and practical
style of teaching combined with great thorough
ness, his pleasant and kindly association with
MS pupils, and his unexceptional character rem
him just the man for the place. The good will
and friendly feeling existing between the schoI-
ars and teacher, and between each other. anG
the love and respect shown their teacher, whom
they consider as friend, are pleasant features
Of the school. And those who enjoy these priv
ileges will find when they come to part, thai
many happy associations have clustered round
their hearts, which they Will ever remember in
after life as being one of the bright spots in the

KenosI,n Coun,xEam

/ The time for holding our County Fair has beer
fixed for the Oath and 25th of the present month
The officers of the Society will spore no pains tc
make this Fair as instructive and entertaining al
any previous one in fact, it is determined t.
make it the best since the Socetys organization
But if the people of the County do not come Out
up such aEshow, the efforts of the executive com.
mittee will be of no avail.
We must all work in unison, and with lauda.
BILE desire to Guido each other in making it both
useful and attractive. Some say it does not pay
to take so many things to fair. Well, we do a
great many things, when measured by the stand
ard of dollars and cents, that do not pay. All
exhibitors, ofcourse cannot hope to take first or
even second premiums, but only those who are
judged to be the best. Our corps of judges, we
believe, is made up of the right stamp, and will,
no doubt endeavor to do justice to all PARTIES
We cordially invite you one and all, TO try them.
Our premium list has been cut down because we
believed it too high. 1t is better to pay the full
amount of small premium than to be restricted
to percentage of large one, ana better salts
faction will generally be ielt by all. We hope none
will stay away on that account, for then it would
seeul dS II ulOHey VI HS pISHululuj was INC OHiy
object to be attained. Our object should be, and
believe is, above mere dollars and cents, in this
Association. The honor, or benefit of having the
best at such show, is of itself enough to COM
pensate for all the trouble but yet we do not ask
that of any one who complies with the rules OF the
Society.
Aside from the usual attractions of the fair it is
expected that there will be military parade by
the regularly organized companies of the County.
1t is believed that the companies have attained
such proficiency in drill as to make the occasion
Feally interesting. A free dinner will be given on
the occasion to said military companies. AS
these are war times it was thought appropriate to
have "grand display" on a small scale.
Let none stay at home unless the weather prove
bad, for you may expect general good time. We
want to see the smiling faces of ALL from the oldest
to the youngest this OCCASION for nothing gives
such zest as a smiling and cheerful c0untenance. |
Don't forget to take your stock, and your goods,
and Your wares andy fancy fixings so that we
may make such display as eny county may be
proud of.
