from among the most intelligent and hard
working people ofthe county, and when
aided by the people as they should be, our
fair must be a success. The Board of Di-
rectors are all live active men and women
and are instructed to spare no time or
means within their power TO make the
necessary arrangements for our next an
nual fair, and we hope that no adverse
circumstances will interfere to render IL
Improbable.
/ believe that the people of our county
can look forward to our next annual ex-
hibition with eagerness, anticipating
great deal Of pleasure and profit thereby.
The society from the beginning will aim to
carry out the object for which it is organ
lied, viz: "The encouragement of agricul-
ture, horticulture and our social rela-
tions," it will rigidly exclude anything
of an immoral character, such as shows,
wheels Of fortune, ETC., tending to divert
the attention OF the people from the legit-
innate purpose for which it is organized.
The sale of intoxicating liquors, such as
beer, ale, wines, WHISTLES, etc. will not be
permitted on the grounds nor With the
distance prohibited by law. Parties vio-
lating the law must expect to be prosecut-
ed.
The actions of some of your citizens in
regard to Joint Stock Fair Co.
at Napoleon, is not looked at, or regarded
as justifiable act, they having known
that there was society being already per-
fected for fair. Their object is no more
nor less than to fill the pockets of few at
the expense of the farmers of Henry coun-
ty. We have an article in our Constitu-
tion which reads as follows: "No divi-
dends shall ever be struck for the purpose
OF profit for any member or members OF
this society, but all revenues and incomes
shall be invested in premiums and i'm
provements for the benefit of the annual
fair" Our Constitution also includes
another article which reads as follows: "No
racing will ever be tolerated or allowed
on the grounds of this society,"" We be.
lieve that an agricultural fair can be con-
Quoted successfully without plenty of fast
horses, and the incidentals connected with
it, such as pool selling, gambling devices,
etc., which have tendancy to drive
away more good people than all the fast
horses can draw, and which has caused
more discord and been the ruination of

Now, we ask the people of Napoleon, and
the farmers of Henry county, your good
wills, assistance and patronage during
our annual fair and we will endeavor to
build up for the people of this county an
institution on principle, believing that
principle should be the ruling power and
not money. SUBSCRIBER.
A PENNSYLVANIA newspaper has
made canvass of the States of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, to find out the Republican feel
ing toward the Presidency. Blaine
leads as both first and second choice.
For first choice he is followed at a long
distance by Logan, and still further by
Edmunds. Popular canvasses of this
kind are worth about as much in pre-
dieting the result of the convention as
one of Professor Wiggings' weather
prophecies; but they do show, in this
present instance, that Mr.. Blaine has
strong following in the populous Mid
die States.
