and others friendly to the institution,
are cordially invited to come with well

Prehle County Fair.

The Preble County Agricultural
Board held a meeting on Saturday
last, and after considering and can
vassing the matter thoroughly, agreed
to change the day O. holding our Fair,
from tie 2Sth of September to the Dist
of September, one week earlier than
usual. This was done at the request
of a long petition from u citizens,
and to accommodate the eastern range
of the county farmers, who want to
attend the Montgomery County Fair,
which is set for the 2Sth of Septem-
Der, the same day that the Prcble
County Fair has usually opened. 1t
was a sensible move. They also COM
pleted the premium list, which is the
largest and best that has ever been
presented in this county. 1t will be
published in a week OF two. Our
Fair Grounds have been considerably
changed and improved since the last
Fair. The horse track has been en-
larged, and now we have as good a
half-mile track as there is in any
county in the State, and we hope that
the farming community will interest
themselves in behalf of the Fair, and
aid the Board in making it the best
and most successful II ever held in
the county.

The Rich and the Poor

What is wealth? Wealth is what
ever men can realize from nature for
their %sustenance and employment. La
Dor is what realizes it. Prudence
saves from it, and the savings become
capital, which helps to extend and
multiply the operations of labor, and
thus creates more capital. The veal
thy are composed of those who have
inherited property from others, those
who have acquired it accidentally, and
those who have realized it for them
selves. The poor, in like manner, are
composed of those who have inherit
ed poverty from others, those who
have become poor through accident
and those who have brought poverty
upon themselves. The most familiar
mode of producing poverty is by idle
ness. A man will not work-he real
ICES no wealth he is of course poor.
Or he squanders in some absurd man.
ner the earnings which he does not
realize, and thus remains equally poor
as if he did not work. The poverty
arising from idleness will only be
durable as it ever has been, by indus
try. That which comes from waste
fulness will only be cured by econo-
nv,

Live for Something.

Yes, live for something worthy of
life and its capabilities and opportu-
mites for noble deeds and achieve
ments. Every man and every woman
has his or her assignments in the du-
ties and responsibilities of daily life.
We are in the world to make the
world better; to lift it up to higher
levels of enjoyment and progress, 10
make its hearts and homes brighter
and happier by devoting to our fell
lows our best thoughts, activities, and
influence. 1t is the motto of every
true heart and the genius ofevery no
BILE life, that "no man liveth to him
self"-lives chiefly for his own selfish
good. 1t is a law of our intellectual
and moral being that we promote our
own happiness in the exact proper
ton we contribute to the comfort and
enjoyment of others. Nothing wor-
thy of the name of happiness is pos
sible in the experience of those who
live only for themselves, all oblivious
of the welfare of their fellows.
