AID We had a large Temperance meeting
here Sunday afternoon The Platteville ALI
ance furnished US with speakers and music.
Messrs Trowbridge, Streeter, Robertson and
Garter addressed the audience. 1t appears
these men intend to make up for lost time in
doing good. There will be another meeting
Sunday, 10th, at o'clock. Let us have a
good turnout Fifty-eight signed the pledge
last Sunday.-A.
lie ayitt's Swiss Bell Ringers will be in
L ancaster and win perform at the Old NJ E.
Church, on Fri day evening next week. Their
entertain ment onsists of instrumental solos
songs, gr otesque acts humorous dehneations
and the music of the bells. They are popular
artists and please their audiences everywhere.
Mr. f. s. Quincy will have on exhibition
at the Fair to-day and tomorrow his new
washing machine. 1t operates very success
fully and is having great run. 1t takes
every woman's hard labor over the wash tub
and like the sewing machine will greatly re-
lieve US of woman's complaints. If men go on
making inventions which so greatly superccde
the labor of women we may after while be able
40 do without women altogether.

man YOU met had in his hand one Of the stylish
Fair pamphlets printed at the HERALD Office

man in Grant County who cares anything
about bees will have one of Joseph Heinrich:
Bee pamphlets, printed in exquisite style al
the HERALD Office. The place to get printing
done as it should be done is at the Office o.
the GRANT COUNTY HERALD.
The Blake's Prairie FAIR was success
More people were there than for years before.
The show of articles and products was not as
good as it it should have been, but the arti'
cles on exhibition were supcrior-they were
good enough for any show There were some
persons who took special pains to make the
show good and if we had room would give
them special credit Mr. Grear, for instan ce, who
had that beautiful case of samples from is store
on exhibition If other merchants and trades
men had put in choice samples from their
places Of business, they could glea tly have i'm,
prov cd the appearance. Mr.J T.Weed's exhibi
was ye-y valuable and his m amer of at tending
TO /; i highly commendable, and also
Sir Woods But we cannot possibly say
what we wish to this week The premium
