The Nebraka City Ne1Us compli-
ments the newly elected officers of
the Stale Board of Agriculture as fol-
lows:
The State Boald of Agriculture paid
a deserved compliment to Col. Rob't
w. Furnas Of Brawnville, by re-elect-
ing him President and selecting
Brownville as the point at which the
next-State Fair of Nebraska is to be
held.

terests Of the State, and we are glad to
chronicle his election.

mer Of Dougles county has been re-
eiectod Trets1rersof the state Board

tribute to one of the best men in Ne
braska.
CHAELEs H. WALKER. Secretary

est ordor.
We congratulate the Board upon his
selection to this honorable and respOn-
sible position.
The Nebraska City Press says:
Had tne Fair been a failure it could
not have Eeen laid to the officers of
the Board. They did all that living
practical men could do, to makn the
exhibition Just what was expected of
it. An Agricultural Society that has
for its President such a man as Col.
Furnas, has great reason to eongratu-
late itself, He is not only a thorough
man, but an accomplished
and more or less con-
versed with Agriculture and stock
raising. The Secretary, Charley
Walker, was on tho ground at all
hours, ever ready and willing to ac-
every one that had btsi-
ness with him. The General Super
Oliver BarmOn, worked as
no man works unless his whole heart
is in the work. Judge Mssod was at
it from morning till night, enlisted as
deeply as when charming jury or

We're the officers at whose hands
the most activity was required and
to say Chat every demand was prompt
ly met IS but to utter the truth. To
the Superintendents of all various de-
partments nothins but the utmost
credit is due for activity and close at
tentia1l to duty.
The reporters present at the Fair
were placed under obligations to the
chief Marshall, J. w. Moore, for his

properly to acknowledge the many
favOrs receiver at the hands of Col.

rhe lumber of these gentlemen of any
Kind or valIe, was at free disposal for
Fair use, they requiring only that it
should be returned after it was no
Onger needed OIL the Fair Grounds.
The officers remarked they would
carcely have known what to do, if
he timely assistance of Messrs. Ball
milne had not been offered.
DIR. Geo. L. Miller, of the Omaha
Herald, compliments our humble eff
orts in Agricultural matters rs fol-
Ows:
Col. Robert w. FuTnas justly holds
leading if not the first position |
.mong the workers in Nebraska Agri- |
ulture. Whilst Horticulture has
,een his great speciality, he has al
Ways been a busy and intelligent
dvocate of Agricultural interests in
.eneral. Few, if any, have done
more to present our claims to the |
world in this department, and few, If
ny, deserve so much praise fOrsteady
nd sustained labor, intelligently di-
ected, as he deserves for the good he
las done for.Our State and country.
We take care to award Col Furnas
ii credit for his ceasless exertiOns
gainst many opposing obstacles in
he State Board of Agriculture.
AS its President, aided by the active
forts of Mr.. Charles H. Walker, its
Col. F. has pushed Agricul
ure into prominence which it would
lot have gained in the next five years
n this new State but for his resolute
nd determined efforts and cO-Opera-
