We have seen much in our ex.
changes throughout the State in regard
to the abandonment of the State Fair,
but we have not heard anything said
about it by the people of our county. A
State Fair held in the northern part of
the State would be attended by but a
few of our people and would be of little
or no advantage to our county, and ex-
cepting as it would be indicative of the
life, energy and prosperity of our State
we care nothing about such a fair.
County and District Fairs are much
better-where they are generally held
throughout State-for bringing farm
ers and mechanics together and getting
up an interest in the improvement of
machinery, stock aad the manner of Gull
tivating grain. Our county will hold a
fair for four days this fall at their
grounds at this place, commencing on
the 9th of October, and there will be a
District Fair at Neosho Falls. OF course
the premiums offered at these fairs are
not large, but the benefits to our farm
ers are not in the premiums, although
they are desirable. We hope that these
fairs, and especially our own here, will
be largely attended and that everybody
will take something for exhibition.

BROKE JAIL,

Last Saturday morning sheriff Woodin
had the following notice printed on
postal cards:
"Broke Jail on the night of August
9Th, 1875, one Robert Miller, age %,
height 6 feet, hair black, eyes grey, CON-
plexion dark, weight about 145 pounds,
spare built. Also James Hays, age "a,
height #. 10 in, hair black, eyes hazel,
complexion dark, weight about It's lbs.
-devilish eye. $25 will be paid for
each or either of these men, or suitable
reward for information Leading to their
capture"
The sheriff and his d,plty started out
early Saturday morning on the hunt for
these escaped prisoners, but up to the
time of going to press nothing has been
heard Of them. These men were from
counties, Miller from Mont
gomery and Hays from Howard; the
former was accused of horse stealing and
the latter Of murder. Miller is reported
as an old hand at Jail breaking having
escaped from several jails in the State.
They had with them when put in Jail so
secreted as to escape detection, or were
supplied by parties outside, saws with
which to cut out the fastenings Of their
cell and saw off the iron bars in one of
windows. They made their escape with.
out waking the other prisoners confined
in the Jail.
