Another Argue Lie Nailed.

Speaking of the Republican demonstration
in Ferry Village Wednesday night yesterdays
Argus says:
But when the talk was ended and the boys
wanted to get home, the boats-oh where were
they? Well, they had been hauled off for the
night and there was nothing for them to do
but march home over a long and dusty road to
the sweet but somewhat monotonous music of
a tuckered drum corps. Few and short were
the prayers that were said by those we'll
meaning but misguided young men when they
broke ranks about eleven O'Clock, their bright
uniforms all of a color-dust. SIT is a good
thing for man to do" said Fritz, ''iust once
and that is enough. If there is to be any
more such tramps there will be an ambulance
for the quartermaster.'

AS the State Fair has been under cloud
for several years on account of financial mis-

open to the County Society, which has the
ambition to avoid its predecessors mistakes
and to excel anything attempted by the State
Society. In the hands of the gentlemen who
are at its head there can be no question of its
