Two weeks from next Monday, On
Sept. 20, the 7th annual fair Of the Neo-
sho Valley District Fair Association
will commence ct Neosh0 Falls. These
fairs have attained national reputa-
ton, and yearly attract to the district
Thousands of people from all parts of
the United States. The directors every
season introduce new and attractive
features, no two fairs being exactly
alike in the program presented, and the
interest Of the public is never allowed to
flag. Last year President Hayes and
Gen. Sherman were the extraordinary
attractions. This year balloon ascen.
sions and chariot races will be the win
ming cards. At great expense the direc.
tors have secured these novelties, some
what in doubt as to the result. We,
however, have full faith that their liber-
atty and enterprise will meet with an
ample reward. One Of the most success
fal aeronauts and acrobats il the coun-
try will make two ascensions during the
fair, the balloon to be used being one of
the largest in the world. The ascen-
sions being made from the open space
adjoining the race track, thus sdording
an excellent view to the thousands that
are expected to be in attendance. Dur
the ascension the daring aeronaut will
60 through with q number of thrilling ac-
robatic performances, hanging suspended
by one foot from q bar beneath the bal
loon while on its aerial fight through
the clouds. The chariot races are also
an interesting feature, and have drawn
immense crowds and have given the most
perfect satisfaction where ever exhibited.
In addition to all this the Republican and
Democratic nominees for Governor will
be present and address the multitude
From all indications the 7th annual fair
of the association promises to be equal.
it not superior, in attractive features to
any of the fairs that have preceded it.

Very Drou to Think OF.

Ifnot above being taught by men, use Dob
'bins's Electric Soap next wash day. Used
without any wash boiler or rubbing board, and
used differently from any other soap ever made.
1t seems very droll to think of q quiet, orderly
two hours light work on wash day, with no
heat and mo steam, or smell of the washing
through the honse, instead of long days hard
work; but hundreds Of thousands ofwomen from
Nova Scotia to Texas have proved for themselves
that this is done by using Dobbins's Electric
Soap. Don't bny it, however, if too set in your
ways to it according to directions, that as
simple as to seem almost ridiculous and so easy
sthat girl oftwelve years can do a large washing
without being tired. Itpositively will nOtinjure

your grocer does not keep it, he will get it, as all
