The Great Temperance Fair
at Cincinnati.

The Ladies of Cincinnati, as well
as those of many of the adjacent
towns in Ohio and Kentucky, are
working hard to make the Great
Temperance Fair in that city grand
success. Their efforts are being ably
seconded by the prominent Temper
ance men of the city, and the pros
poets are encouraging for a very
large attendance at the Fair, both
from town and country.
At recent meeting of the Mana
gers, it was unanimously resolved,
that no rafting or lottery devices Of
any kind be allowed at the Fair.
This is right.
Mrs. Thompson, President of the
Women's Temperance League of this
place, and the members of the League
generally, are exerting themselves to
have Hillsboro creditably represented
at the Fair. Mrs. Thompson has
written to the Managers that she
thinks the idea of the Fair ga Divine
inspiration" and that it Will have
her earnest and hearty cooperation
All cash contributions for the Fair
should be sent directly to the Treas
urer, marked as follows: "For the
Temperance Fair, care of Joseph
Kinsey, Treasurer, Cincinnati" The
smallest cash contributions will be
gladly received.
All contributions of merchandise
should be marked, 'For the Temper
ance Fair, care of VIM. Glenn, Gin
cinnati."
Arrangements are on foot to secure
reduced rates of freight on goods for
the Fair, and also half-fare arrange
ments for passengers during the
week of f>the Fair.
