THE COUNTY FAIR.
List of Premiums for 1879.


The board of directors of the ChebOy-
gan County Agricultural society held a
meeting at the TRIBUNE office last Satur-
day afternoon. 1t was decided to hold
the fair Thursday and Friday, October
2d and Sd. Last season there was
some objection to the distance to the
grounds of the horse association where
the fair was held, and to Obviate this
the board decided to hold the approach
ing fair at the court house and grounds
connected Herewith, majority of the
Board OF Supervisors having been seen
and their consent gained. This will
make it much more convenient and will
afford ample room and all needed facili-
ties for the display. A committee con-
slsting of James Barclay and M. W..
Horne was appointed to see to arrang-
ing the grounds, building the necessary
pens etc. for the accommodation of ex-
hlbltOrs. The premium list was con-
sldered and the list made out. The ag-
gregate amount to be awarded was in
creased somewhat over the amount of
last year, and was adopted with the un-
derstanding that if the receipts of the
society were sufficient, the premiums
would be paid in full, if not, they would
be paid pro rata. This is the same con-
dltlOn as announced last year. Then
they were paid in full and we have no
doubt but that the fair this fall will
prove equally successful, and the full
amount of the premiums will be paid.
The following is the list as adopted:

The Dramatic Co.,, had to pay $1o royalty for pro- ducing it at the entertainment on the third inst, and larger audience should have been present, not only for their own qualification, but as mark of appreciation of the efforts of that company to assist the building committee.
 Every character in the play was fitly repre- sented, and not an adverse criticism could truthfully be made. Mir. and Mrs. John c. Brinsmade-as they always do-took their parts as naturally as if they had been written expressly for them. Miss Fannie Crandall was much admired, and acted we'll, as did all the others; but Miss M.

 Mary, wife of Major Leonard Goodwin, at the age of thirty-six years. She was a daughter of MT. Perry Caldwell of tLis village. where her earlier married years were spent. and where, after residing length of time in Bris. toi, she came to end her days She had long been sufferer by both a. tumor and cancer
 with her. the closing hour was one of those ip- stances where mortal life struggles consistently with its memorable fee, to which however it must sooner or later yield. Mrs. Goodwin possessed an amiable disposition, and deserved perhaps more of earthly happiness than it was her lot to receive. It is believed that she bore her affiictions with as much patience and Christian fortitude as it would be possible for any oneto evhibit under similar circumstances Her funeral was attended from her fathers residence on Friday afternoon, the 11th, inst i; the Rev. MT. Gilliland of St. Peters reading the burial service, and the Rev. Mr. Hillard of the First Congregational church making extended and affecting remarks.

 In the exuberance of their joyous feelings. some of your correspondents have attended to free concerts given by the birds. This is fine preaching; beautiful theory; but how as to practice? A year or two since, person of philosophical turn of mind remarked. 'every body is trying to get something for nothing, " Although undoubtedly true in multitude of instances, yet. as rule, the assertion is rather too sweeping; and would amend it by saying ''every body is trying to get good deal fer 8 little," Exactly how this will apply to the birds cannot say. During the prevalence Of cherries and other small fruits, it seems as though they were trying to get something fer nothing or at best "a good deal for little ]" But then, it may be that taking the year through, they pay fair price for what they receive.
