WILLIAM CARY, the energetic Presi-
dent of the Manitowoc County Central
Agricultural and Mechanical Association
was in the city in Tuesday. From him
we learned that the Directors of the AS
sociation had determined to hold the
Annual Fair in the latter part of Septem-
ber-probably on the 23d, 9th and 25th
and that arrangements were being COM
pleted which would insure the success
of the enterprise, and make it one of
the most interesting which has ever been
held in the County. The premium list,
which will appear in these columns next
week, will be liberal one, and we hope
the farmers, especially, of the county,
viii stake time by the forelock' and be
in readiness to contribute their share
for the general good of the Association
and the public at large. The Fair viii
be held, of course, on the grounds in
Clark's Mills.

SINCE Mr.. John Thornton began
advertising in THE TRIBUNE, his increas-
ed business has compelled him to en-
large his quarters, and with that object
in view he has had the building adjoin-
ing his store, in which Filholm used to
cover our nakedness with well-fitting
suits remodel and fitted up in nice
style, in which he will keep his stock of
ready made clothing, hats and caps and
boots and shoes, leaving the entire cor
ner building for the exhibition and sale
of dry goods, notions and groceries.
John is brick, which fact is proven by
the square way in which he transacts
business.

An INSANE SANTA man by the
name of Cyrus Holmes, processing to be
n preacher, has been stopping at Manito-
voc for q short time past. He is as
queer a specimen of a man as one often
meets. He says that he has preached
in twenty-seven different states, and
has been kicked and stoned out OF them
ALL He claims to have been sent to
Manitowoc on secret business for his
Master, Eve can lay our finger on the
man he is after and according to him,
sectarianism is the feetest horse the
Devil has, on which men ride to hell.
The man is evidently insane, as his
strange looks and strange words indicate,
yet he has remarkably lucid views in re-
gard to Beecher's guilt, as he locates
him 400 miles farther in hell than he does
Iilton, and yet he puts Tilton several
leagues beyond tiIo Satoss sunrdod by
