trot this season, owing to ameness, which still
affects him. though he is growing better and is in

into three apartments, and is longer than an or

Doble's apartment is partitioned off in the middle
of the car, between the sets ofstalls, and narrow

The Eastern Ohio Fair, at Alliance, closed las
Saturday altera continuance of four days, one day
longer than originally announced. The address
of Brick Pomeroy on Friday afternoon was listen
ed to attentively by large audience mostly
farrlers. His remarks were we'll timed, and his
theme agriculture. His address tended to amnse
the crowd rather than to benefit them by any
practical ideas The races on Saturday afternoon
were well attended, and attracted much interest.
The bad weather of Thursday and Friday pre-
vented very large attendance, though 1t is
thought that nothing has been lost in the venture.

one Of the boys scratched board with his finger

when another scratch caused another jump and
he yelled:

After this speech he approached the box more
cautiously, got his hands on it again, looked
