Military Parade at Camden.

On Saturday, the 18th inst, the busy
notes of preparation were sounding
through u town. The military ele-
ment was astir to go to Camden and
join in the demonstration. TWAS ex-
pected immense numbers of the old
soldiers of the war of 1872 would be
there, and any number of Generals
and Colonels were assigned to the
command of these old battered vete-
rams. Colonel Williams, the editor of
the REGISTER, was to command the
soldiers of the war of 1912, aud he
buckled on his tried and trusty sword
and rode down on the early train.
He and the commanders generally
come to time, but the soldiers were
not there. Gen. Harris was to be the
orator of the day. He was sandwich
ed between Hon. 1. E. Craig, who de-
livercd the address of welcome, and
Judge Haines, who was to speak up
on the military history of the county.
The crowd were much di appointed
at Gen. Harris effort TO READ what
he wished the crowd to hear. Craig
did passably well. Judge Haines'
brief effort was a complete success
he did not have TO SPELL out his
piece from paper. Col. Williams got
his sword on under his coat so it was
as invisible as his command, except
when he bowed, the point of it stuck
out behind from under his coat-tails
like the supposed Darwinian append
age to early races of men. Still there
was a large crowd, and the meeting
generally was a success, socially. Pol
itically we do not think it fully ans
wered the expectations of some who
took a lively interest in giving it the
send off.

Our County Fair.

We hope that no one will forget the
annual Fair of the Preble County Agri-
cultural Society, which will be held at
the Fair Grounds on Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, September
21st., 22nd., 23rd and 24th. 1t should
be well attended By all classes of per-
sons. We can all well afford one o rtwo
days in the year in which to enjoy our
selves and make acquaintances. 1t is
well fer the farmert to mingle and con
verse with other farmers and men of
other business and thus learn the ways,
customs, terms, needs and improve
ments Of all. 1t certainly would be a
relief to the mechanic for two or three
days at least in the year to leave his
shop, and associate with men who la
Dor in other channels of industry, to
take their wives and little ones and en-
joy a couple of days in the open air.
And for the professional man a little
outdoors exercise and sport would on
ly invigOrate his mind for the hard
mental work which is. before him. We
would say to all, then, go to the Fair;
take your family along with you, and
a good midday luncheon also. The
grounds of the Society are large and
they are plenty of pleasant places for
open air family dinners-so go n and
all and have a good pleasant time to-
gether. These Societies were formed
originally for the improvement of Agri-
cultural products, stock, &C., and this
still continues to be one of their princi-
pal objects; but the people have come to
look upon fair days more as they do in
England-as a time when people come
together to see each other, to form new
acquaintance, and to have a few days
of respite and recreation Fl rom the cares,
business and work of life.
Cattle and sheep ~husbandry seem to
us to be of the most profitable and pleas
ant agricultural enterprises, and we do
hope that the very best stock of the
county will be on exhibition at the next
Fair. This is the veay best manner in
which a stock-grower can advertise his
animals.
The Board of Managers anticipate that
the coming Fair will be one of the lar
gest and most successful which they
have held for years-in which ~anticipa.
ton we sincerely hope they will not be
disappointed. The track is in fine order
and unless heavy rains should fall will
be in superb condition. The show Of
fast stock will probably be large. Let
us say again, everybody go to the Fair,
and take all the articles you can for ex-
hibition.

The Show,

Last Thursday was an unfortunate
day for the show here. When en-
route for this place, and three miles
below town, the engineer of the spe-
cial train finding that he could not
pull the entire train left a portion of
1t standing on the main track, intend
ing to return for it. On arriving here
several cars became detached and
started backward on the heavy down
grade, increasing in velocity every
moment, until it struck that portion
of the train which had been left stand
ing on the track below town, telescop-
ing two of the car and injuring sew
eral of the attaches who were in the
coaches. Notwithstanding this acct
dent, they made the "grand entry" at
noon, and commenced the afternoon
performance at two o'clock. About
three o'clock a sudden hail and rain
storm came up and levelled the mena-
gerie canVas to the ground, and por-
ton of the circus tent. Of course a
general stampede ensued, and every
one lost their senses except Lowlow,
the clown. Hats, bonnets, parasols
and babies wero lost, but fortunately
all escaped with a few scratches and
a big scare, and all the babies were
subsequently found in Cook & Mil.
ler's corn ''crib." A drenching rain
was falling and none were provided
with umbrellas, SO all struck for town
A description of that crowd is sim.
ply impossible. Imagine about five
hundred people who had all faller
into a creek while fishing on Sunday
and were breaking for home for dr.
clothes, if you can,
"Not a smile was seen, not a laugh wa
heard,
As on to their homes they hurried"
In fifteen minutes every countrymar
was out of town and the town peopl
had changed garments, and you
couldn't find a man, woman or chill
who had been to the circus.
