Every effort to prolong the exhibit
ton has failed, even to keep it open
until Thanksgiving day. On the
night of the 9th Inst. there was a grand
competition exhibition of fire works,
when America contended against En-
gland for the supremacy in this line.
Both sides exerted themselves to the
very utmost, and there was the finest
exhibition of the kind ever seen in
this country, if not in the world. Up
TO Saturday night, Nov. 4th, the total
number of cash admissions at so cents.
footed up $6,73s .4O2; at % cents,
SOS, OO4; total $7,476, 406 The whole
cash receipts from the gates were S.
553, 7O2.99. What amounts have been
received from other sources, only the
Commissioners know, but it may be
pretty conclusively settled that the
exhibition will close at least 81, 500, 900
in debt. It will be remembered that
Congress loaned the exhibition 81 ,5OO.-
700 last spring, to enable the Commits
sioners To carry out the original plans.
but made iE an express provision that
this sum was to be returned to the
United States before any other credi-
tors should be paid. Already efforts
are being made to avoid this provision.
and it is now said that two interpreta-
tiOns can be placed upon it. AT any
rate it it is thought that the Finance
Committee will not make this return
70 the Government until compelled to
do so by Legal Adjudication So much
for not making the law so that even q
fool could not misunderstood it, or so
that it will admit OF two interprsta-
tions.
The poultry show, which has Just
closed, is said to have been, by the
judges, the finest ever held In Amer
lea. The number of birds in every
department. was very large, and con-
sisted of the finest that could be gath
cred together. The chickens compris-
ed every variety from the little Ban
tams, up TO ShAnghais, that are al
most as large as common turkeys. II
the breed of Shanghais is improved
much more they will become larger
than turkey hens. The number of
turkeys was not very large, and with
the exception that most of them were
snow white. there was nothing notice
able about them. The geese were
very large and fine. Among them
were two Egyptian geese, about the
size OF our Muscova ducks, and of q
deep reddish brown color. So little of
the goosey" look have they about
them, that If one were not told what
they are, he would be at an utter loss
as to what kind OF fowls they are.
The ducks were also very fine, and
most of them about the size of half
grown geese. Strange as it may an
pear, the pigeons we're far the most
valuable collection there, and the re-
wards offered for them were more val
liable than for any other class. Some
little idea may be formed of the vaIne
placed upon them, when say that In
two rows of coops, in which there
could not have been ever l5O to Us
birds, their value amounted TO over
$4,000. There were pouters as large
as half-grown chickens. which cost
from $50 70 500 per lair; carriers.

Such men are helping every body in the

grab up the peoples money only spending
II for what they eat, and then go away ARE
OF no account. They have no interest In
community's welfare, and care nothing
for 1t except for what money they can get
out Of 1t. They build no residences or
business blocks. They contribute moth
ing to the growth OF a community. With
them it Is simply q little game OF grab
and run. Hence we say It pays the peo-
pie TO trade with such men as Perley. To
support such business men is the true
policy. Tn It's the way to build town.
The people have extended . good trade to
him, and he In turn has spent thousands
Of dollars in the county to improve 1t,
and add 70 the wealth OF the whole. One
such man In . town is worth 500 who do
nothing for It. There are plenty OF such
men as Mr.. Perley In business IN EN-
poria, and we have only mentioned him
TO illustrate the point we wish to impress
upon our people. Look over your local
papers, and you can very easily tell who
the men are who are alive, who are doing
all they can for the upbuildIng OF their
neigh bors-who are willing to live and
let live. A little, selfish, narrow-sould
business man. who draws himself within
himself, and who spends not q penny to
build others up Is not the man for the
people to patrOnize. If this town b I'D no
other kind OF business men but the class
last described, It would be given to the
crickets and owls In = week. Pass them
by and leave them to the fate they de-
serve.
