Exeursionists will find no better place
to spend the hot months than at one of
the many watering places that are to be
found in the great northwest. DEVILS
Lake, Wisconsin, is one ofthe most won.
derful and romantic spots, and no other
place to compare with it can be found in
the northwest. 1t has an abiding attrac-
ton for tourists, who return to. it again
aud again, to admire and enjoy it, to
wonder at and to puzzle over it. Green
Lake, Wisconsin, 40 miles northwest of
Chicago and 50 miles northwest of Mil
waukee, is a resort ever to be envied and
we would say to all eXcursionists not
to tail and visit this popular place before
you return. St. Paul, Minnesota, the
capital of the state, has become re-
nOwned for the vim and energy of its
enterprising business and for its admir-
able climate and healthiulness. Six rail-
ways centre here, affording the best
facilities for reaching the pleasure re-
sorts of the surrounding country. White

row boats, fine hotel accommodations,
and all the facilities for max
ing stay pleasant and enjoyable.
To reach any of these popular summer
resorts, with the most comfort and least
delay, we would advise you to leave Aus
tin by the Chicago express, I.& G. N. R.R.
| at $500 2. NJ. This road has attached to
every train an elegant parlor car, which
runs through from Chicago, Kansas City
| and Hannibal, Missouri, to Austin and San
| Antonio. These parlor cars, for beauty
and comfort, are equal to those on the
best equipped northern roads. Seated in
one of these magnificent coaches, with
out extra charge, you glide swiftly
and smoothly through the beauti-
full Indian territory, so much admired
by travellers, for its beautiful scenery.

way, is acknowledged to be one of the
most efficient and popular ticket and pas
senger agents in the west, and has by his
| pluck and energy, pushed this line ahead
/ of all rivals, and it now stands the most
popular route to Chicago, Kansas City or

the fair was laid upon our desk some
days ago, and we delayed making note
Of its contents for the purpose of giving
the list an examination. comparison
with that OF former years shows that the
premiums in almost every division have
been revised. and the number Increased,
and made to conform to the manufactures

In cattle a new class has been added
(class No. 15). being a herd premium for
short-horns, with 800 first premium and
$50 for second. The sheep division has
been revised, and will be found interest
ing to those engaged in that branch Of
the fair. The poultry division is also
provided for with between thirty and
forty prizes, ranging from $3.50 TO $40,
and embracing nearly every strain. But
by far the most noticeable change in
the list Is that OF division 1, the
ladies' departments which has been
completely revised and between sixty and
100 new premiums added, comprising ev-
cry variety of textile fabrics and articles
manufactured in the households of our
country. The ladies have always been
remarkable for leading In the cOntribu-
lions oftheirpresentsa and their handiwork
to the success of our fairs. The running
and trotting programme will equal that
of any fair In the south, and VIII bring
together a choice array of the fleetest and
best stock IN the country. Among the
additions in this department will be an
equestrian purse of 800, entrance fee
exclusively for ladies; distance, three
miles, the ladies to change horses as often
as they please. The International rail-
way premium of $500 for the best four
acres of cultivated land in the counties OF
Hays, Travis and Williamson will be sure
to attract the attention of our farmers.
There are other features of the list that
will commend themselves tn our people

opment and culture, which we will
notice at another time. Much can be
done by personal solicitation and
endeavor by the directory and our PEG.

Make earth seem an Eden of love;
No more may she sOOthc his distressJs.
No more her affection may prove
Oh. weep for the sad stricken mother,
