The Fair.

The Twenty-ffth Annual Fair of
the Preble County Agricultural Soci-
ETY. was held last week, and we are
glad to say was a complete ucces
The weather throughout was cool and
threatening, but did not deter the
people from coming, consequently the
attendance the two last days was
equal to that of any previous Fair.
We learn from those who have been
in attendance on Fairs in other coun-
ties, that ours was one of the best yet
held. On account of the weather,
comparatively few articles were bro't
on the grounds until Wednesday, but
the unusually large number of en-
tries insured q success. The total
number of entries reached nearly
1000; livestock, fruits, flowers, relics,
needle, shell and wax work taking
The lead, and the show of livestock
being the best ever made on the
grounds. A new and interesting fea-
ture was the bringing of all the pre-
MUM livestock into the speed ring on
Friday afternoon, and led by the Band
making a grand parade, A LA Bar
mum. The vegetable display was
good, the biggest thing there was a
pumpkin weighing LAT pounds, which
attracted considerable attention. The
races on Friday afternoon were doubt
less instrumental in bringing the
large crowd that day, and those who
came were rewarded by seeing some
fine racing. "Sam,"a Michigan horse
took the 5000 trot in three straight
heats; time, 2.4O4, 2.3S, 241-"Black
Frank" coming in second. The pace
for $3.50 was taken by "Crazy SAM
"Pocahontas" taking second.
In the election on Friday afternoon
JIM. Dougherty was elected Presi
dent, receiving 1876 out of 479 votes
cast-Geo. NJ. Deem vas reelected
Vice-President, together with the ole
Board.
The Premium awards will be pub,
lished in a week or two.

THE SWALLOWS FAITH
a swallow in the spring

swallow in the spring
Came TO our granary, and meath the caves
Essayed to make nest, and there did bring
Wet earth, and straw and leaves.
Day after day she toled,
With patient heart; but ere her work was crowned,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But not cast down, forth from the place she flew,
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
when wicked hand, or chance, again laid waste,
And wrought the ruin Ger.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled agan-and last night hearing calls,
looked, and 10 three little swallows slept
Within the earth made walls.
What truth is here, o man
Hath hope been smitten in its early dawn?
Have clouds o'ercast thy purpose, trust or plan
Have faith, and struggle on
