"There was a clipping in the Farmer a
few weeks ago, saying that they wished some
one would perfect a breed of horses that
could work without shoes. We have such a
breed now. If farmers would try it they
would find that the most Of our horses can go
without shoes, and have better feet than those
that have shoes. have had but few
horses shod for twenty years. In that time
have not had a lame horse. The only time
we need shoes is when the road is icy, and
then, if the shoes are not sharp, a horse will
slip more than if they had none. lhave had
Clydesdales and other horses, and any of
them can travel twenty five miles on gravel
road and never finch. A horses feet are
like persons; if they are kept shod the
foot becomes brittle and tender. If not shod
they become hard and tough"

A Wicked Thing to Fool with.

The latest bap,ismal incident is related by
a digni6ed judge of the Supreme Court Of
Minnesota. A colored Baptist congregation
was out on the border of conveniently 10.
Gated lake attending the immersion Of har.
vest of young converts gathered in at re-
cent revival. Among the candidates for the
rite was Swapping great mulatto woman,
whose ample proportions were enhanced by
q hustle, itself Of no mean dimensions.
When she went into the water the minister
found the hustle stumbling block to his no.
ly work. 1t acted as buoy for the candi.
date, floating her up when the minister at
tempted to put her under the water. After
he had experlmented two or three times with
the candidate, each time being defeated in
his purpose by the hustle. one of the dusky
brethren on the shore yelled out:
"Crowd dat ar hustle under de water par
son crowd it under. It's de wickedest thing
you've got to deal with"

Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants of To-
cality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in
their very midst. is decidedly startling. Such
discoveries are made at every season, in every
part Of the Union. Subsequently, whenit is
ascertained, as it invariably is at such times,
through the valuable experience of some one
who has been benefited and cured, that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is thoroughly efica-
cious eradicator of the malarial poison, and
means of fortifying the system against it,
feeling of more security and tranquility
reigns throughout the whole neighborhood.
Besides the febrile forms Of malarial disease
dumb ague and ague cake are removed by the
potent action of the Bitters, to which science
also gives its sanction as a remedy for rheum-
atism, dyspepsia, constipation, liver COM
plant, debility, kidney troubles, and all dis.
eases impairing the organs Of digestson and
assimilation.

LYON COUNTY FAIR.
1t will be a g reater SUI ccess this
Year than Ever.

Considerable interest is being taken by the
people of our county this year to have the
County Fair prove success. The manage.
ment is sparing no pains to have everything
in readiness for parties who wish to make
exhibits Of any kind. The track for racing
is being put in good condition and with
very limited gu tlay of coin this track can be
made the finest in the State. The owners
of running horses in the Valley are now put.
ting them in training for the races, and there
is liable to be considerable of this kind Of
sport. The exhibits Of agricultural products
will be large and fine. The finest kind of
vegetables and grain are raised in both Ma.
son and Smith Valleys, as has been shown
by the premiums that have been awarded
the ranchers on several different occasions
The display of stock will also be worth see
ing as many Of the ranchers are making i'm.
provements in this line each year. The la
dies of the other end of the county are also
taking great interest in the Fair this year
and will have all sorts Of exhibits of their
handiwork there. Many Of them are experts
in the art OF cooking and also in putting up
canned goods, etc. 1t would be good idea
for the ladies of our part of the county to try
and secure a prize or two in this line. We
have here in Dayton, also, many young la
dies who are experts in the art of fancy work
and there are manv SDecimenS Of their handi-
work around which would no doubt add
greatly to the appearance of the pavilion at
the fair. All who desire to send any articles
to the fair are requested to leave them with
Director CARING who will see that they
reach their destination in good order. The
people here and in Silver City should try
and make the fair success this year as
we'll as those OF other parts Of the county.

A Sad disappointment.

Some years ago couple in Marshal coun-
ty, Kentucky, read in the papers that the
State would pay 1000 to the first woman
who bore thirteen children. These good
people determined to win the 1000, and
their industry was rewarded recently by the
birth of the thirteenth child. The woman
went to claim the money and was met by the
cold intelligence that no money was appro-
priated and it was only newspaper myth.
If the Legislature of Kentucky has any gal.
lantry left it will appropriate the 81 900 fair
ly due these industrious people.

state Fair.

Those who have attended the State Fair
this year speak in very high terms of the way
it has been managed, and think the exhibits
are much more numerous and nicer than at
any previous fair. There were some good
running and trotting races, and there is said
to be less complaint about them being on the
square than ever before. 1t cannot yet be
told whether the Fair has proved success
financially or not, but if it has come any
where near SO doing it has paid, for it has adj
vertised the State and her products to the val
ue of many thousands of dollars.
