State Fair.

All the newspapers within many miles of us
around about, warmly advocate the holding of
the next State Fair at Ottawa 1t will be held
here 1t our people get awake in time, do a little
work and furnish some material aid, otherwise
not. Tee Marseilles Citizen thus discourses o.
the subject:
STATE FAIR AT OTTAwA.-Ottawa bid, for
the State Fair. This is right-sensble. We are
glad Ottawa has opened her eyes to the impor.
tance. She being the "hub" of the county Il ia
but right she make bold and st.ai.ht-out move
ment in this direction
La Sale county is the second county in the
State in territory and population, and by virtue
Of this she is entitled to it.
If held once the county will receive the bene.
fit of a second fair
We know of nothing that would so much ben.
eht the county as the holding of the State Fair,
and this can be brought about by proper man.
agement Citizens of the county must necessa.
rily be liberal aud by act and deed encourage
those who should have the matter in hand.
From the success of the late county fairs, it il
but fair to say that the m managers of that would
be equal to this
The middle and southern portion of the state
have monopolized the State Fair, and it is time
the northern portion had finger in the "pie."
Whether there il profit or honor in it or not, it
IS but simple justice to this section of the state
that the next State Fair should be held at Otta.

last Saturday evening, the house of DAVID Rsy.

tive steps could be taken to arrest the flames, tn
house and all its contents were destroyed Mr.
Reynolds and family were from home at the
time, and as there was no fire in the house when
they left, and from other circumstances, there ia
no doubt the house was robbed and set on fire
No trace, during and after the fire, could be
found OF various articles that were known to be

gallons. and which was nearly full, Was found

in the vicinity 4 few minutes before the fire. The
loss Of Mr.. Reynolds is about $1,000

proud Of it. He refused to sell it at any price
until he was assured that he should have the
credit Of having raised it.
Mr.. Degan is at all times provided with choice

very best material to be had, and employs only
the most skillful workmen. His carriages and

TEMPERANCE LEcTURE.-We have heard 90
many commendatory remarks in reference to the
temperance lecture, or rather sermon, delivered
atthe Baptist church in this city last Sundsyeve
by the Rev. p. Taylor, father of Maj. Taylor,
the popular clerk of the Supreme Court, that we
opine the following notice Of it by the local of
the Republican, who was fortunate enough to
hear it, must be about square:
1t was, par excellence, the best grouping of
pointed thoughts and pithy sayings We have
heard in two years in this city. There was no
blood and thunder, such as Ross or Stoughton
pours out, but close feeling and searching after
the characters and consciences of men, and a
sharp, cleal arraignment Of tipplers and
whisky sellers. And yet not q saloon keeper or
heavy drinker in this city would have gone
away from the lecture angry, but rather in a
thoughtful mood and with serious ideas con.
cerning the necessity Of shutting off the drains,
or closing out the saloon business, and engaging
in some useful calling. That lecture ought to
be repeated in every church in the city.

dry goods and notions without end. They have
full stock OF the best of groceries, and no store
in S.reator sells better goods, or goods Of all
grades for lower prices than they Their prices.

The Ottawa branch is full as usual of every.
thing one could desire, every department be.
ing complete in quantity and variety, from the
common goods to the finest in the market.
