STILL. BOOMING.
the Movement for = Fair Associa-
ton.

1t gives us pleasure to be able to
state that project for New Fair
Association is still going ahead with
every prospect ofreaching permanent
and solid basis.
Its desirability has long been con-
ceded by every live, public spirited busi-
ness man and farmer, IN the county.
Asa mere business venture it is an en-
terprise KirksvlIle cannot we'll ignore
longer.
But such enterprises when properly
conducted mean something more than
dollars and cents-they mean improves
ments, they mean friendly emulation
they mean enterprise and wide awake
usefulness; they are a standing adver-
tisement, of the county-lts products,
soil, stock, people, society.
The failure 20 hold anthing like a
fair or exposition this Fall, while other
counties, all about gave successful ex-
hibitions was subject of comment not
very favorable 10 us, and ought not to
be allowed to occur again.
The fate ofthe old fair association is
no criterion. II never had snap
enough to offer inducements for any,
thing, and the people got tired of it.,
and when the big bull ate up the big
pumpkin that was the end of it, Be-
sides, our county is growing rapidly IN
wealth, stock, productions and intelli-
eence, and there is no doubt if people
are offered something in return for
their money they will turn out.
We learn tina. the subscription list
to the stock of the proposed new Fair
Association already toots up nearly
three thousand dollars and that our
business men, stock
men, and farmers are taking hold OF it
freely 1t is proposed TO publish tull
list of the subscription between this
and the holidays. The subscription
paper Is IN the hands of Mr.. N. 4.
Baylor, who will take especial pleasure
in explaining all about it to parties In
terested or who may desire to sign.

PuRE AIR, Mo-, Nov. 90 --DEAE
GRAPHIC: The lection is over and
this time the whangdudle reioiceth, be-
kase the glorious old dlmikrat party
hes triumphed.
The muse kums to us frum Main tn
Kiliiorny that we are wonst more VIC
torious. Tnung kin not express nur
pen purtray the joy this nus gives us.
Even here in old Liberty we hev ma
iority wonee more. We lected all Of
the officers in the township cept one
and he sneeked in by condemnation of
republicans, greenbackers and few
demekrats that he treated to state
beer. Now that we hold the rams Of
government into our own hands things
will fall uuck into thar normal condi-
shun.
Taxes will be reduced so that we
kin pay them with kune and possum
shins. Prohibishun will be knocked
inter Rocked Lat, an the lie OF JOY
will be found flowing through the land
like milk and hunney and kune shin
will get three square drinks.
No more heavy taxes to bull scule
house and pay big wages fur US. But
we kin build them as we used to oter
logs and dob them with mud and save
our mummy to buy the good things
Nv this world and enjoy this life as it is
fittin our pround kaw kassion race.
All ready we can see the change
commencin to take place.
Since the lection korn hes KUN down
ten sents on the bushel and pork hes
draped one half sent on the pound
This will be an advantage to the
pore man and give him chance to
heve bred and meet fur his family to
eat, and the more korn cum down
the cheaper he KIN git his whisky.
We feel Sd rejoiced over the result
NY this kampane that we heve done
nothin but rejoice ever since the cleo
ton.
Pese and prosperity Is a rainen in
the land and all mater is rejolceln.
Our farmers are all bissy gathering
thar korn crap which Is very light.
Muse is scarce this weak the lection
havin absorbed all other interests.
Our skules are progressin finely
which is a great sorce of enjoyment to
me.

Yours fur lernin and advancement.

The Fish For Farmers.

Evidence is accumulating. says a
Canadian paper, to prove that in the
German carp we have q food-fish capa-
BILE of furnishing almost unlimited sup
plies at very little cost. This fish is of
especial value to the farmers. for it will
live in ponds which become so warm
that no other fish can exist in them. 1t
is unnecessary to enlarge upon the
added comfort it would be to farmer
if he could 90 out and take from his
pond five orsiN pound carp, which would
give him and his family good dinner.
Any ordinary pond will do for carp. An
excavation in the course of creek.
damned at the lower end with 4 grating.
so that flood will not carry the fish
away, answers perfectly. The carp will
eat almost anything, and q pond of four
square rods in extent will furnish all the
fish-food family wants. Carp grow
from the egg to three pounds in weight
in one year. They multiply rapidly, a
single female yielding half million
eggs in 4 year. They spawn in May
and June. In the winter they burrow
in the mud and remain dormant, neither
making nor losing growth. In the
spawning season they, must be fed, or
they will destroy the spawn. At other
times they need not be fed, unless there
are SO many of them in the pond that
the aquatic vegetation and supplies
brought down by the feeding creek are
insufficient. There is scarcely n doubt
that carp-pond would be q profitable
adjunct to nearly every farm. Mr..
Wilmot, of Newcastle. will doubtless
soon be in position to supply all appli-
cants with young carp from he.Domin-
ion hatcheries, and we should not Won
der if he be for few years to come
overwhelmed with inquiries.

Our Earnings and Savings.

According to Mr.. Edward Atkinson,
but half of the 81, 100000 people of the
United States can be reckoned in the
working force of the nation. The earn
ings of this working force, male and fe-
male, cannot exceed an average of 81 4
day each for the S65 days of the year,
so that the annual income of the people,
in round numbers, is $4,000, ,OOO, 900.
He estimates that the sustenance of our
population averages As cents day for
each man, woman and child, so that 80
cents of every dollar earned is con-
sumed, leaving but 10 per cent. of the
annual earnings to maintain existing
capital and increase the nation wealth.
His opinion is that the increase in
wealth is less than $500, 900, 900 annual
ly. His purpose in this exhibit is to
encourage economy. Learn to work
more thoroughly, more savingly; to
raise as much as possible with as little
waste as possible, is his injunction. The
lesson which he teaches is the one which
of all peoples on earth the people of the
United States need to learn.
