THE season for fairs will open in
about ten weeks, and such arrangements
concerning them as have not already
been made should at once receive atten
tion. 1t is none too soon to see that
committeeman of intelligence and char
acter be chosen, and that they are men
who are likely to be in attendance. 1t
is time, too, that the premium lists be
fully prepared. Just in this connection
we hope that there will be generous
increase in live stock and agricultural
premiums, even if exhibits of other
kinds have to suffer in consequence. UD-
less the word agricultural" as connect
ed with nearly all fair associations is a
glaring fraud, the interests of agricul-
ture should be paramount to everything
else in the exhibition. And before leav-
ing this subject. we want to urge upon
managers the duty of exercising from
their fairs the various features of doubt
full morality which characterize so many
AGRICULTURAL shows. Let the pool
seller, and the liquor-dealer, and the
gambler, and the side-showman, ct id
onlne genus, understand that their room
is better than their company. A good,
square, clean-handed agricultural exhi-
bition Is an institution of which any
sensible community must feel proud,
and the country cannot have too many
of them.-[Pittsburgh Stockman, Sth.

is failure as weather prophet.
We can hardly realize the fact that in four
weeks the wheat will be ready to harvest

good. The meadows are better than last year.
The prospect for oats could not be better. The
corn is small, but it has assumed healthy
color, aud has yet 100 days to make crop.

HENDRYSBURGH.

Spring has rapidly waited down the ever
flowing stream Of Time-and has brought to
us, in all its grandeur, the lovely month of
June. The birds are singing sweetly in the
forests, the flowers are clustering in beautiful
luxuriance on the lawn, and while serene
hush pervades the atmosphere we will spend
few moments in scribbling for the ever
welcome CHRONICLE.
The click clicki of sheep shears is still
heard in almost every barn and sheep house
throughout the neighbcrhood. The indica-
tions are that wool will bring fair price this
season, but will not be ushered in by every
little boom, as it has heretofore done.
In consequence of the continued high wa
ters, and the overfowing of so much bottom
land, many of our farmers are engaged in re-
planting corn.
| Scarlet fever is prevailing here to some ex-
tent throughout the neighborhood
Miss Eveline Mansfield is suffering from
catarrh asthma.
W. r. Swan, who went to Pleasant Val>
ley, this spring, has returned home.
Mrs John Nelson, of Concord, o, is visit,
friends and relatives here.
| 1t seems as though some of our citizens were
trying to play Rip Van Winkle since we heard
of the unconstitutionality of the Pond law.
There is under consideration the building
of a township hall here. We hope the enter.
prise may prove successful.
The predominant sentiment among Repub'
licans here, in regard to the nominee for Con.
gress, seems to be in favor of Updegraff. He
certainly represents this district as well as
any of his predecessors, aud will, no doubt
continue to do fhe same if reelected. The
Republican primary meeting on last Saturday
was largely attended-delegates were elected
and DIR. w. NJ Jones was reelected Central
Committeeman for Kirkwood township.
Mrs. Lizzie Davidson, of Baldwin, Kan
sas, accompanied by Miss AIDA E. Jones
of this place, left here on last Tuesday, for &
visit to Cambridge, o. LONE STAR.
