SATURDAY last, being Fair day,
brought together one of the largest
crowds Lancaster has known for some
time The throng on the streets during
the afternoon gave to the city the APP
pcarancc of place of ten thousand in
habitants. At the sale quite a little
property changed hands, including five
horses, large number of promising
shotcs, and large lot of household fur
niture. Prices ranged good and every
body appeared satisfied. These Fair
days have now become a fixture in Lam
casters business calendar and are found
an excellent means of bringing the peo-
pie together, to the benefit not only of
the merchants but of the people them
selves who are thus enabled to meet
those of other sections giving a chance
for mutual interchange of thought and
farm notes. During the month of Octo-
Der there will be two sale days instead
of one as at that time farmers will have
more leisure at their disposal and the
articles brought in will be more than
can be disposed of in one day.

LANCASTER people will be sorry to
learn that Messrs. Thompson Bros, the
enterprising firm of grain buyers, who
located branch establishment in Ian
caster early in the spring, have decided
TO withdraw from this point as well as
Montfort. This move is the result of
i'll health of one of the members of the
firm. Mr.. 0. G. Miller, who has acted
as agent for the firm at this place goes
to Montfort to close up the work there,
while Mr.. Frod Phelps takes the ware
house here.
T. c. Hawley & Co, Of Platteville
have recently purchased the Strong
warehouse" which it is expected they
will run, together with the one above it,
thus furnishing good market for the
farmers of this and surrounding sec
tions. Whether they will have any
competition in the grain market is a
problem for the future to solve.

Station Statistics.

of the Lancaster on the Woodman pas

gagged in the building of good sized

to bear in mind that it opens September
81, three weeks from yesterday (Wednes-
day. and make tier preparations ac-
cordingly. Good premiums have been
offered for all classes, and every resi-
dent of central Grant should endeavor
to be present and bring sample products

from bringing in stock, farm products,
or anything named in the different class
es. Although all cannot take premiums

show of succeeding as their neighbor or
some one else's neighbor. The field is
an open one and there should be felt a
