We have heard several Democrats re
ported as going to vote for Peters. Won

emblazoned over a newspaper 'fkeerd?'
We ask it in the throes of despair! The

prosperity of the country demand it!
Let us all do our best to have a big
county fair this year. Let us try to make
good exhibits of our knowledge of agri.

of all kinds. Preble county, if she will,
can have the best fair in the country
Invite your friends to come and visit you
during the time, go yourself, and make
it a financial success as well rs a fine
show.

have his trial.
