S1IcK TO THE Truth. The IIolmcsvilc
sore heads who want TO get out of Holmes
county without moving, should have some
little regard for truth in talking about the
matter, even if be ridiculous. They say
they want Holmes county dismcmbered !or
the purpose Of reducing taxation. The fees
of county officers depends upon the extent
of population, and by doing away with the
officers in Holmes county and adding the
population to Wayne county the officers of
that county would receive just as much
more pay as the county officers now have
here. Then, Holmes county is entirely out
of debt--this year pays the last of the Rail
road bonds. Wayne and Coshocton coun-
ties are both heavily in debt. Do PETE
PAINTER and CRoCos want to be transferred
to Wayne county in order to assist her in
paying off very large Indebtedness?
We think the proposition of PAINTER
CRoCo & Co. too ridiculous to merit any
serious opposition from us. 1t is directly il
the face of the State Constitution, and W,
can assure our readers that there is equal,
as great probability of the State Capito
being removed to Millersburg as there is o
the county seat being taken away

Indiana State Fair.
From the National Agriculturalist.


We take pleasure in extracting the above from
the premium list OF the approaching State Fair Of
the great State of Indiana, to be held at Fort
Wayne commencing on Monday, October 2nd ,
and continue during the week. The editor Of
this paper has attended ten of the thirteen State
Fairs held by this Society, and speak under
standngy of them. He believes that no State
in the Union has done more to encourage the pro-
duction of improved breeds of stock, as well as
the manufacture of improved implements in
machinery-n proportion to its population during
that period. The managers have been governed
by the most enlightened motives, skill and judg
ment. with no other than the encouragement Of
everything calculated to benefit the different BRAN
ches of findustrv-and, as the result has proved.
with most perfect success. The Society has, with
n single exception paid all its obligations and
that exception only applied TO former exhibitors
from its own State and during former engagement
The present able Secret iry, MIR. LOOMS, aided by
an intelligent Board. has managed for years the
business of the Society, as to fully regain and
add largely to its former reputation and regain its
lost credit.
The approaching FAIR promises to be the best
ever held in the State, If not in the West. The
premium list is most elaborate. and the entire
arrangements, location, &c. such as should engage
every exhibitor as well a. "sight seer" in the
counry h BE- present. Exhibitors my rest assured
that their articles or animals will receive full just
ice, as the character of the Executive Committee
for honesty. ability. aud integrity, will not suffer
with any similar number of gentlemen in the
country. Among them is the name of our pleas
ant iiced friend Dr.. George w. Mcconnell, OF
Angola. The simple connection of his ntme is q
sufficient confirmation OF the above, as his unsuli-
ed repas ,tioa in this.the vicinity Of his early
history. is such thlt he would not be associated
with sny other than a legitimate enterprise
nor with that if il would not grant full justice.

time she was attacked with alpbonia. and from that
time until she could convey her thoughts

extract the following from his letter, remarking
that if we put democrats in the lunatic asylum in
