No Fair This Year.

By Office in another column 1t will
be seen that the managers of the Fair
have concluded to give up the project OF
holding one this year. They also recon-,
mend the people of this county to attend
the District Fair in lieu thereof.
1t seems to us that this is good idea,
and if carried out by other towns sur
rounding, the people of the four counties
can have fair that will be of State pride.
The District Fair can be made complete
success in every sense of the word, If,
instead of trying to sustain half dozen
poor ones the different localities will turn
out and support one good one:
The county fair business is either
constant pull on the pockets OF those
who sustain it-or the premiums go un'
paid. In either case it is failure. lhe
District Fair on the contrary can be put
on a paying basis and made successful
and creditable fair. 49,.

GENEVA, July 9TH, lS'9.
The glorious old 4th has come ana
conc again. Many of the Geneva folks
went to the Falls and had a very enjoy
able time on the fair grounds. 1t was
gotten up on the pie mic order and iunch
baskets furnished the wants of the IN
ner man, while speaking, social chit-chat
&c, filled up the time very pleasantly
A few of US who could not 60 to any
gathering in the towns around concluded
that a large crowd was not necessary to
have an enjoyable time so we got up an
impromptu gathering at MIR. William
Denny's, where a couple of dozen persons
assembled and sat down to SPLENDID
dinner prepared by Mrs. d. and her
daughters. The tables were set under
the fine shade of the apple trees in the
rear of his house. After the dinner had
been fully discussed and rest and CONVEX
sation had occupied reasonable time
ice cream of the very best kind was
brought forward and We were again
feasted, and so the 4th of July 1879 end
ed, and so may the day ever be remem,
bered as the birth day of the greates'
and best country upon earth and al
though in its infancy yet its GREATNESS:
and its power is felt and owned by al
the nations of earth. REPORTER

M irThis Fall.

The Board of the Allen county fair
has concluded not to hold a fair this
fall as the grounds are not fit because
there are no buildings or water, the
county is divided and there is only about
half the county that would contribute to
the fair. There is no money in the
treasury and none can be obtained from
any source.
I'VE would say to the producing peo-
pie of the county that the District Fair
at Noosho Falls is just as convenient to
MANY of them as a fair at lola and We
recommend them to make every effort
possible to have something in their line
ready to take to the District Fair.

Steamer on the NeOshO.
lola, KANs., July 9TH, 1879.

lola, MANS, July ''n' 1917
Mr.. Editor:
I suppose you and your readers are not
aware that the Neosho river is navlgable
and that steamboat has been built and
run on her waters, but such is the fact.
A magnificent steamer now floats ma
iestically on the peaceful waters OF the
Neosho. One morning since the 4th 1
received polite invitation to come to
the landing at Davis Mills, at O'Clock
n M. and take a steamboat ride and
witness the trial trip af the new steamer
inst completed by Mr.. Oscar Myers.
Accordingly repaired to the landing
at the appointed time, and after waiting
few minutes for steam to be got up
everything was said to be in readiness
and the cry was call aboard, when three
or four men and boys and a couple OF
dors took passage. Oscar Myers took his
position as captain, engineer, fireman
and roustabout, and Writ Myers as pi,
lot. the line was cast loose and we went
steaming up the river to BRAKES rinle
where we had lots of fun and finally
succeeded in getting over the rapids,
having first 70 discharge all the cargo
and passengers and wade knee deep push
ing and pulling to assist the craft. After
passing the rapids we soon landed above
the bridge where the passengers again
came aboard and we steamed on up the
river around the bend when Capt. Myers
announced that the fuel was short ana
we would have to return. The steamer
was then gracefully rounded to and bow
Turned down stream and under press,
IRE of 65 pounds of steam we made gooo
beadwav for home while the band played
Yankee Doodle, Hail Columbia, &c, and
loud shouts were sent up by the crowd:
of men, women and children that ilneo
the river banks and filled the bridge.
After safely passing brakes rifle on
our return a rubber gasket blew out OF
the safety valve causing some alarm
among the passengers and necessitating
putting the fire out and stopping the
engine, but passing tug was hailed and
we were safely towed into port and lana
ed amid deafening shouts OF applause
from the crowd of spectators that llneC
the shore at the landing. Thus ended
the trial trip of the first steamer tina
ever plowed the waters of the Neosho
It was success, grand, big, huge
, success, considering that the entire boa
and all the machinery were built by
Young man yet in his teens.
With a few unimportant alteration
tie little steamer will be of great help Il
. the Davis firm in the erection and con
struction of their new dam now under
way. Yours, PASSENGER.

The campmeetng held by the L. D. Church
IN Bauehman's grove, Pa, about FIVE miles
north of this place, closed ON Friday morning
OF last week, after a session Of eight days.
Ministers were present from York, Baltimore.
Philadelphia, and elsewhere Many very
impressive sermons were preached. There
were about thirty tent holders, consisting
chiefly of the Pennsylvania Germans, whose
hospitality was unboundei. On Sunday the
crowd was variously estimated from six TO
eight thousand. Good order prevailed during
the day, but few accidents occurred, and these
were caused chiefly by reckless driving. A
very prominent aud interesting feature of the
services was the chidren's meeting To these
meetings, which were held regularly every day
at p. m, were gathered children to the num-
Der ola hundred or more, who were addressed
by able ministers in plain simple way--in a
way calculated to make them moral, pious,
and God fearing men and women. We be-
lieve il the children Of all communities were
TINS taught there would be less wickedness
and rowdyism amongst the young, and more
respect for religion and religious services.
