LITERARY NOTICES,

The last number Of The ALdi7ae contains three
fullpage engravings, viz: Little Rose,''
" Kingston, N. W and "Coming from the
Forge" besides number of other illustrations,
all in the very finest style of the engravers art.
We do not see how engraving can be brought
any nearer to painting than these engravlngs
are. This publication claims to be the hand
soonest periodical in the world, and we do not
know Of anything extant finer than this. There
was q rumOr some time since that the publisher
had failed, but the company announce that they
have paid-up capital of over $20O, 900, and that
the periodical is financial success. When Mrs.

FIRST FROST

There was heavy frost on last Mon
day night, the 14th. Vegetables were
nipped and the haying will soon be
over now. Last year we had our first
frost on the night of the 18th, just five
days later than the first frost in Iowa,
and the year before, if we remember
correctly, the first frost did not occur
until the 10th.
The weather for several days during
the past week has been decidedly fall
isll" and we may soon expect the in
comparable Indian Summer weather of
this beautiful Northwest. Look out
for the mirage on clear mornings. Lit
tie boys and girls will please remember
that it is the early bird that sees the
mirage in this country, and be up and
a-Seeing.

BLACK HILLS.

Lieut.. G. D. Wallace, Of the Seventh
Cavalry, stationed at Fort Abraham
Lincoln, passed over the road on Mon
day last, having in charge % Santee In
dians, who accompanied Clusters expe-
dition to the Black Hills us scouts
The Lieutenant was interviewed by the
Sioux City Journal, and does not take
much stock in the Black Hills gold
fields. He says the grass roots do not pan
out gold, as many will find to their sor-
row, if they go there. He has no doubt
there is gold in the Black Hills, but
accounts have been highly colored.-
This agrees with Prof. Winchell's state
ments.

PROF. HU1M1sTOy"S ADDRESS.

We publish in full, ON Our outside,
the address of Prof. Humiston, deliver
ed at the State Fair, as corrected by
himself. The address is eminently sug-
gestive and bristles with practical
points, It has been very well received
by the public. We subjoin what the
Minneapolis Tribune says Of the adj
dress
The address of Prof. Humiston be-
fore the State Agricultural Society is
one worthy of note. 1t abounds in
rich deep thought, and there is an air
Of practicability pervading it. He
practically reviews the different re-
sources of our State, and attempts to
solve the problem of low the relation
between the producer and the agencies
Of transportation can be: 50 adjusted
that each will divide fairly according
to capital invested. Every question
was scientifically and practically con-
sidered, and in closing he asked the oft
propounded question "With all these

ED. ADVANCE: am much pleased
to see in2your paper the advertisement
Of the County Commissioners Offering
a reward for the apprehension Of any
one setting fire to theprairie this fall.
1t Was a much needed step in: the right
direction and we hope to see it acted
upon with vigor.
The tlreshing machine has shown
many of us this week how badly the
grasshoppers hurt us. The wheat every
where thus far turns out better than
was expected, the oats and flax much
worse. Wheat averages about eight
bushels, thus far, though we think we
can bring the average up before the ma
chine is through. Oats ten.

THE STATE FAIR.

Mobiles County ut the. State Fair
First Premiums on Flour and Wheat
Other Premiums Good for a Three
Year Old.
Mobiles county ought certainly to feel
gratified at the part she has taken in
the State Fair and at the honors and
blue ribbons she has carried off. We
had six representatives on important
committees, and Prof. humiston de-
livered the Annual Address, which has
been pronunced one of the ablest and
most practical agricultural addresses
which has been delivered in the West.
The premiums awarded were as follows:
FLOUR.
1t was to be expected that the Okla
bena Mills, Of this place would take
the first premium on flour. We have
frequently spoken of the new process
flour of these mills, giving the opinions
OF New York, Sioux City, and other
dealers. And now we have the first
premium stamp of the Minnesota State
Fair to put upon the excellent Okabe-
ma brand of our Mills. Much of the
credit for the triumphs of this brand of
flour is due to Mr.. Coplin, the miller at
the Okabena Mills, who bears the rep
utatlon of being ore Of the best millers
in the West and whose flour, we under
stand, always takes the first premium
ut State Fairs.
WHEAT.
Messrs. Miller, 1Iumiston & Co., the
Colony managers, rs we have had fire.
quent occasion to note during the Sum-
mer, have been testing a number of va
rieties of wheat. Five of these were
sent to the State Fair and secured the
first premium.
BREAD.
Mrs. A. J. Wilcox took the first pre-
MUM for Salt Raising bread and Mrs.
Captain Smith, of Worthington, the
second premi I'm on Yeast bread.
VEGETABLES.
W. N. Philips received the First pre-
UNI on his monster squash, which, could
it have grown up to the present time,
would have weighed in the neighbour
hood Of 200 pounds.
AMATEUR.
Miss Anna Dean received both the
first and second premiums on tidies.-
Mrs. p. p. Humiston, mother of the
three brothers of this place, who is now
IS years old, received the first premium
on quilt, and Mrs. Harriet A. Hum
iston a diploma as the first premium
for an Oil portrait.
This is certainly very encouraging
showing for a three-year old commune
ty, and may be taken as an earnest of
what Mobiles county will do when the
grasshopper has ceased to be ''bur-
den" and we have had time to subdue
our soil.
