BEAVER CITY, n. S. of /. r., Oct O.

some questions, asked by the readers of my
letter in your paper, to Mr.. |. Beard, of
Valley City l would say that land can be
had in tracts to suit anybody. There is
building rock of two or three qualities
The best of clay for brick. The lay of the
land is from level plain to rolling
prairie.
There are plenty of springs, and running
streams of fine living water, that are full of
fish to furnish sport to the settlers, and
food for the hungry. will say here, that
to get near town, you will have to buy peo-
pie off. But eight to ten miles from town
you can get fine locations. 1t is settling
up very fast, and those wanting good loca-
tions, would say come early. We have
two more large general stores since my last

The Harper fair closed last Saturday
continuing four instead of three days, as
was advertised There were number of
new features Liberal premiums were Civ
en- to educational exhibits also to the boys
and girls for every description of work,
mental and manual. The races are said to
have been fairly conducted, which was GER
tainly novel feature, and there was no
gambling of any description allowed on the
grounds The liberal premiums for home
work and skill caused the floral hall to be
well filed The art and educational ex-
hibits were good Grain and vegetables
gave no evidence of either light or infer
ior crop. if there is short crop in this
county. While the agricultural exhibit
was good throughout, the display of Irish
potatoes was certainly as fine as we have
ever seen at any county or state fair. Mr..
Rose of the Wichita greenhouses, was on
the ground with fine display of plants
which attracts much attention, and which
he entirely disposed of before the fair
closed This fair was the most sat
isfactory that has ever been held in
the county, and we trust vii be
the beginning of a new order of fairs in
this county.
The Republican county convention met
at Anthony Saturday and nominated the

was nominated by acclimation for clerk of
the court
After endorsing the Republican state
platform and demanding that county officials
execute The law regardless of local preju-
dices, a resolution introduced. we believe,
by Judge Theo Botkin, Of Attica, was
passed with hurrah. the occasion being
