of Alb, the new chief.
The family of j. S. Tuckey Esq. removed
to their new home ia Illinois, on Thursday,
of last week, and not on the previous Mon

so ready to criticise its neighbors, is itself
liable to make mistakes.

terry at the Grange store, the prize being

The premium list occupies SO much space
in our paper that we have no room for an
extended report of our County Fair. In
many respects the show was very good in
deed, while in others, notably that of fruit
it was not mp 70 the usual standard. The
display of vegetables was exceedingly fine
Financially, the fair was success, there be
ing something over six hundred dollars left
after paying premiums and expenses, which
will enable the society to make q handsome
payment on their grounds. The competitive
drill between the Posts of the q. a. r., was
confined to Ellsworth Post of Hartford ant
Broadhead Post of Paw Paw. the first prem
ium being awarded to the former, and th,
second to the latter. One of the beautiful
displays in Floral Hall was that of w. J. i
Il. Sellick, dry goods merchants of this place
and it did them much credit and attracted
good deal of attention. A game of base bal
between the Lawton's and a picked up min,
from Paw Paw. Game was called at th'
close of the 9Th inning, the score standing
10 to in favor OF the Lawton's.
