BY order of the Commissioners.

Does the Press know how Plank stands
on the great questions of the age, such as
printing for the agricultural societies for
example Tribune:
We do not, but we do know that he will
not allow six hundred and fifty dollars to
the. "organs" for publishing the Commits
sioner's Report. Mr.. Plank has not heard
of the price of agricultural printing since
the Tribune iiattened the purse of our fair
with its bill for printing. Mr.. Plank can
look at it this fall, as one thousand premium
lists, and two insertions of the same in the
Press, including all of their other adver-
tising and locals amounts to fifty dollars.
Think of that Nc. Why five were paid
in the same proportion that you got for the
Commissioner Report it would amount to
one thousand dollars.

whats In n Man when sober Come
Ont When Drunk

This old saying has not word of truth
in il. Men will DO and say things when
drunk that nothing could induce them to
do if sober. This can be seen on our
streets daily. A great many young men
who have been SO unfortunate as 10 allow
themselves TO drink to excess, were quar-
rellsome and cared for no ones telling
But since they have become sober citizens
they not only prove themselves to he
gentlemen, but are the most industrious
citizens We have.
