r. COUNTY FAIR


Below we give letter from Mr.. Cum
ingham, Of Graham Lakes, upon the
subject of a County Fair. We hearth
ly second his suggestion, and will third
and fourth it, if that will do any good.
If the present magnificent harvest is
. gathered in good condition, farmers
will feel encouraged and will gladly
give a day or two to exhibiting their
products and especially their stock.
But whether we have good grain
yield or not, we have enough stock in
the county to make good show. BY
all means, let us start the ball this sea-
son, and inaugurate our County Fairs.
We can show the two finest draft horses
in the State, and there are a number
of blooded bulls now in the county, as
well as some of the finest blooded sheep
in Minnesota:
GRAHAM LAKES, July %, 1877.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Dear Sir.-As I
have seen nothing in your columns in
regard to COUNTY FAIR, or at least
Il stock show this Fall, l would like to
ask brother farmers if we can not have
something of the kind this year? Our
Agricultural Society received from the
State last year $50 to be used as premi-
ums but we had no Fair, so the money
must be in the Treasurer's hands now.
I will venture to say that there is no
county in Southwestern Minnesota
that can compare with us in the quail
ty or number of good horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs. So it seems to me
that it would be good thing to show
just what we can do among the chop
pers.'' One thing to be kept in mind
will be economy in the expenses and
premiums, as all must admit we have
little money to waste, but if carefully
and jndiciously managed might he 4
source of great benefit to the county
and. individuals generally. I would
think the fore part Of September would
be the best time. Brother Farmers,
let us hear from you and see if we can
not make a show worthy Of this beauti-
ful country. Yours truly,
J. II. CUNNINGHAM.

PROF.. RU.NISIOV.

The Journal last week devoted a col
umn to what purports to he Il report of
a conversation with Prof. IIumiston
It first alludes to statement made
by the Pionerr-Press that the Journal
was started as the ''organ Of a county
Ring" For that statement the Jour
nal last year blamed Prof. Humiston.
But the night-editor Of the Pioneer
Press wrote Bell & Gruelle a letter ex-
honerating the Professor, and Bell told
Professor he was thoroughly satisfied.
Gruelle, in the conversation with Prof.
promised to publish this letter, but, of
course, he fails to do SO, as his object
is to injure Prof. Humiston all he can.
lie has repeatedly said that Professor
ought to be in the penitentiary, and he
adds now banker Smith and the editor
Of the ADVANCE. And this because
we do not belong to the Worthington
Ring.
The night editor of the Pioneer-Press
says that he got his idea that the Jour-
nal was Ring paper from reading the
Worthington papers. The Journal ed
itor wants to know how this can be
since at the time the Journal had out
only it's first number. The fact is, the
night-editor is regular reader Of the
ADVANCE, as nearly everybody else is,
and he got the idea from our paper.
And we repeat again that the Journal
is the organ of a county Ring, that it
was started to give half a dozen men
in Worthington an organ through
which to keep control of the county.
Witness its Infamous attacks upon eve
rybody who is not with the Ring and
it's praise of the Ring officials and Ring
supporters. by their fruits We shall
know them.
The only other point in the article
Which deserves any attention is as to
Prof. Humiston's connection with the
ADVANCE and what the Journal calls
the Colony Ring. AS to this, it merely
repeats what we have said probably
twenty times over, that Prof. Humis-
ton has no interest in the ADVANCE
and that he has no connection with any
Colony Ring, because there is no Colo
ny Ring. We have repeatedly stated
that the ADVANCE is our own property
and Prof. Humiston stated under oath
at Mankato that he owned no interest
in the paper. But Rohrer and some
! others thought we had printing office
belonging to Professor concealed about
our person and SO they called him to the
witness stand to testify. The Journal
further says Professor IIumiston de-
nounces the course of the ADVANCE.
The facts are as we have also frequent
ly stated, that Professor Humiston diff
fered from us as to the course we should
pursue in denouncing the infamous row.
dyism which the journal instigated and
encouraged. lie always advised "giv-
ing place to wrath" and letting the
matter pass.
Again we say, Prof. Humiston does
no: own a cent Of interest in the AD-
VANCE; he has nothing to do with con-
trolling OF debating it's course, further
than to advise when we ask it, and this
10 more than great many others.
The ADVANCE is an Independent Peo-
ple's Paper, opposed to Ringism, Row.
dyisn, and the infamous blackguardism
of the Journal, and devoted to the true
interests of Mobiles county.
