A Grand Time Ahead.

The boom for the county fair which is
to be held in this city Oct. 4, 5, and 6,
promises to increase as the time for
holding the fair draws near. Special
premiums are being raised which will add
much to the attractiyeness of the meet
ing. As will be seen in another column
several fine premiums have been offered
on butter. AS this is something that is
made by every farmer family more or
less throughout the county, there is no
good reason why each and every one
should not competitor these premiums.
Not only the cash value of the prize is
to be taken into consideration but the
reputation which will inevitably follow
to the fortunate holders of the different
prizes. On the subject of fairs in gen
eral nothing better can be offered than
the following extract taken from the
Prairie Farmer.
Our annual fairs have, perhaps, been
second only to the agricultural press of
tho country in bringing about better
understanding in the minds of farmers
as to What improvements in live stock
really consist in and as to what partic-
ular models of the various breeds are
best calculated for implanting desired
changes upon the ordinary stock of the
country. The fairs bring to view the
possibilities to which the improved sort
may attain, though, of course, many
specimens brought out for public cxhi-
bItion represent in an extravagant de-
gree the desirable qualities of the stock.
This statement has reference to great
size and excessive fairness, and such ex-
quisite samples of symmetry as can be
brought out only in exceptional cases.
These lessons, however, point to posi-
bilities and afford valuable material for
study.
But for the constant weekly reminder
through the press and the inducements
held out by advertisers through these
mediums, backed up by annual exhibit
tions, we hardly see how the half of
what has occurred in the way of dissem-
mating the higher types of domestic an
imals has occurred. The fairs are of
great value in improving the smaller
stock such as sheep, swine and poultry
and indirectly in bringing the several
breeds of cattle to the attention of the
farmers.
Such being the case every farmer will
recognize it as of the utmost Importance
that he should not neglect to attend a
place where So much is to be found.
In addition to other attractions the
officers of the society have opened cor
rcspondence with Professor Wallace, of
st. Louis, who has promised to make q
balloon ascension from the fair ground
each day during the progress Of the fair.
just who will deliver the address is not
known at present but it will be some one
whose name and reputation are such
as, of itself, to prove not one of the
least attractions of this fall agricultural
exposition.

Loot for the LAWYERS.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Aug. H.
There is talk among the prohi-
bitionists of endeavoring to close

ings. This process was discussed at the
state Temperance gathering, but the
temperance lawyers would not sanction
it with their advice On the contrary.
they advised against it. 1t is not i'm
probable that this process viii be re-
sorted to. however. rs there is NJ pros
pect of an extra session for the purpose
of providing laws for the enforcement
of the amendment The leaders seem

make show of closing the four thou

Of four thousand Injunction suits is
enough to stir up the legal fraternity OF
tie state, and every cross road attorney
in Iowa seems to have suddenly devot-
ed himself to the study of the points in

An Easier Feeling.

SPRINGFIELD, H., August PA
dispatch from Taylorville, ILL.,, says that
the town is still greatly excited over the
events of last night, but a reaction in
public sentiment is fast taking place and
much regret is expressed at the lawless
proceedings of the mob in their efforts
to lynch Montgomery, Pettis and Glenn
emit. The opinion that these men are
not guilty is gaining ground, and the
disposition is now pretty general that,
whether they are or not, they are en-
titled to a fair trial, and this in all likeli-
hood will be accorded them.
