We are indebted to Jonathan Herbster for |
a basket Of what he calls "White Rose" pota-

ranted they woald be. He claims for them

the same year, and that they are very prolific |
bearers. Two years ago he paid s. for two
potatoes. This year, besides what he has used
in his family, be viii have about forty bushels

third party pay for printing the tickets that

previously promised to do so, dozen times.
Well, so far as this county is concerned, we
guess he can take the "dilapedated linen from
the shrubbery.7 We have never heard of a
Sheriff who could get down SO low as that,

On the new fair grounds is one of the finest
springs in the country. It is situated on the
hill side, about sixty feet below the upper
grounds It has been proposed to procure a
hydraulic ram, and by placing it in the spring,
force the water up to the upper grounds, and
.orm a nice fountain; and then utilize the
waste water as it descends to the lower grounds
BY making it supply several other fountain
cts. The idea is good one, and can be car
ied out successfully at a small expense. We
nope the directors win act upon the suggestion
and add as much beauty to the grounds as the
means at their command viii allow. And
now is the time to do it, while the workmen
ire employed, and the work of fixing up the
grounds is being made business. All such
add to the attractabiity, and
viii aid in getting out large attendance.
