Yesterday We paid visit to Evart
and the Third Annual Fair Of OsccOla
County Agricultural Society. We
found the Grounds about half mile
from the business portion ofthe village,
u gool plank sidewalk leading directly
to the entrance gate. AAteady, drcncl'-
ing rain continued all day, with cold
north wind whicl, rendered II very un-
comfortable for the people present; but
dill not prevent AN excellent showing
Of grain. vegetables, stock, etc. The
exhibit In the two first mentioned
clasScs was one which VIC do not be-
licve has been cxccllcd at any County
Fair In the State, this Fall. The most
noticeable, perhaps, In the stock de-
partmcnt, were some fine Southdown
sheep AMI Berkshire pigs, belonging to
ID. a. Blsdgvtt, Esq, Of Hcrey. The
Society has some ten or twenty acres
of ground enclosed by liigl,, close
board fence, u conmodious Hall, "a well
Of water, and comfortable accoinmo-
datiens for stock.
The premium articles Mt the Fair
last week, destined for Hon. VIM. j..
Webbcr, Land Commissioner OF the +.
4 r. NJ. Railway Company, were for
warded to him last Saturday morning.
The Saginaw daily Courier, I'm speak
ing of the grain and vegetables from
this county and Mason, ON exhibition
In webber's Office, says the articles
from, Mason county were fine; but that
those from this county were rcinarka-
bic, considering the fact that they
were raised on the plains, which 80
many consider barren and worthless.
Yesterday afternoon we paid u brief
visit to Holden, Of the Farwell Regis-
ter, and found him the same sociablc,
fun-lovirg fellow as Of old. Holden
has good, roomy Office, and seems to
be thriving In his business. He's fat
M pig, and we conclude thcrefrom
that Clare county Is not u barren waste,
and that he has not lost his best friends,
even n he does pursue the manly course
Of dcnouncing fraud and dishonesty
to the dctriment Of the members Of the
political ring which exists In Clare
mt present.

Dickens and r.. Il. Critics, of Eden
township, order their copies Of the
STAR Discontinued. Comment In un-
necessary. We still live, and II the
people want to know the acts of public
officers In the future as In the past, We
are just ms ready and willing n little
more sol ms ever TO publish the truth,
although It's lightning strikes among
those whom we have counted as our
warmest friends ~ well ms men OF hon.
or and good principles.
Tie o uyinc Of last week says: 'The
Herscy City Mills Flour Il becoming
celebrated as No. I; x x 4; and all the
big iouble-and-twist names that -four
dealers use to express themselves when
their admiration II at fever heat. Os-
ccola county wheat is making itself a
name through the skill ofour excellent
mIIlcrs, Burroughs 4 Hagnr"

ful exhibitions Of the kind ever held In
