which had been accomplished in the three

Last Thursday afternoon there was most
sudden change in the weather following a
slight dash of rain and a change of wind into
the northwest. The thermometer dropped
suddenly from 81 to - degrees. and many
coughs and colds were the consequence.
Friday morning slight frost was visible,
which was not keen enough to do any dam
age. but which, nevertheless. was visible in
spots. Probably SO early frost was never
seen in Kansas since its settlement. For sew
eral days we have had what seems regular

OPENING DAY

OF THE SED6wIcK COUNTY FAIR.
The Seventh Annual Fair of Sedgwick
county opened with no little eclds on Tues.
day. The morning parade made by the Wich'
tia Guards and Fire Company No. !, both in
full uniform, accompanied by full bras,
band. officers of the Society, and citizens
with banners flying, was scene of consid'
cradle brilliancy. The grounds reached, ".
r. Jewett. President OF the Society, deliver
ed short congratulatory address. in which
he recounted the trials and triumphs Of the
organization. He said. among other things,
that the Society was seven years old. out OF
debt and prosperous; that last year the
Wichita Fair received more gate money than
any fair in the State. Ii has been and is the
intention to make this fair, in time, the lead
Ing district fair of the valley.
The EAGLE will next week give full syn
opsis of the fair. but one thing is noticeable
already. and that is that twice as much fine
stock is upon the grounds than ever before.
Several extremely fine herds, studs and
1ocks from Il distance are here. The crowd
for the first day was three times larger than
on any previous first day Of the past, which
is encouraging. By to-day Thursday five
to ten thousand people will be on the grounds.
Booths and refreshment stands abound. Good
seeing room is plenty. good seats without
number. and an awning of reserved seats at
low price. 4 number of ArappahOe In
dams are also present.
There was one disappointment the first
day. The 1ronaut. for some reason, didn't
initiate; or, If he did, il was himself and not
his balloon. The ascension was not made.
which was simply ali outrage upon the peo-
pie, and the officers will be held responsible
We assured the people that the balloon would
20 up, and We are entitled TO explanations
that the people may have them. No Society
can afford to disappoint the public. 1t is
said the ascension will take place to-day, but
Of course we cannot vouch for it.
But every farmer in the county should see
fine stock exhibition.

Wonderful Results from the Use Of
MARI.
New ORLEANS, Sept, II, 1879,

New ORLEANS, Sept. II, 1879
Rev. E. R. Strickland
MY DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 9th
inst, received few days ago, also a box
containing very fine sample of the Byram
Shell Mari, which find upon an examina>
ton to be BIO about the same quality as the
Shiloh Shell Mari of Cumberland county,
New Jersey, and is beyond doubt the best
natural fertilizer in common use in that
region of country. Its application on lands
that would not produce more than to 10
bushels of shelled corn to the acre has en-
riched it so as to yield, under gooi cultiva>
ton and management, over 100 bushels
of shelled corn to the acre.
My grandfather, Benjamin Davis, of
Deerfeld, New Jersey, about J miles from
the Shiloh Mari beds, began its use more
than forty years ago, on lands well worn out,
and as Lis crops increased his neighbors
began to use it, and use it freely; and the
fertility of the soil, to-day, is not excelled
in any State of this Union. My second
cousin. Ephraim Davis, still living on the
farm adjoining the farm my grandfather
lived on, and where he died, produced on a
single measured acre of land fortified with
Mari, red clover and oats, one hundred and
ten bushels and one peck of shelled corn
of extra good good quality.
From my knowledge of the application
of Mari to worn out lands, aud my obser-
walton, running back forty years OF more,
may be able to give you the best methods
Of its application to poor and worn out
lands. Yours very truly,
L, D. CLARK; NJ. D.

Ir is charged that Majah Put Darden,
Master of the State Grange, has sweeplngly
condemned the Press of Mississippi as I'M
worthy of support and inimical to the
Grange, and advises farmers to Withdraw
their patronage. This is Putting it strong;
and fol the interest we feel in the success
of the Grange, we hope it is not true. We
can hardly conceive of man being accred-
tied as the mouth-piece of great State orr
sanization which promises so much for the
substantial amelioration of the condition OF
the best and most numerous and solid class
of our citizens, deliberately stigmatzlng
another class-and very potent represent
tative class at that-and striving to thrust
them into the position of foes. 1t is not
true that the press of Mississippi is I'M
friendly to the Grange. The reverse is the
truth. And whether it be unworthy or not,
the wise man is never anxious to array II
against his interests or enterprises.

The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-10-04

The Republican party was minority
party in 1876, and it has been on the wane
ever since. The elections in Maine and
California prove this beyond all doubt SO
far as those States are concerned. In these
two States the Nationals and Democrats
outnumber the Republicans, and IN the
Presidential election of 1880 the opposi-
ton to Republicanism will be virtually
united in the Democratic party, and then
will come the last of Radical, South-hatlng,
bloody-shirt Republicanism. And then
will come also the beginning of the era OF
that national peace and prosperity and fra
ternity which bouyed up the people OF the
United States under the long rule OF the
Democracy.
