the 10th of September. The examin-
alton of nonresident pupils will be
held on Monday of the first week

is five dollars per term of twelve
weeks, and in lower departments three

On last Friday afternoon two mines
composed of republican and democratic
boys, respectfully, went to the fair
grounds and played a game of ball.
The republicans proved the victors by
a score of Is to - But the game of
Friday proved but the skirmish Of the
campaign. For on Saturday both
sides marshaIled their picked forces
for a decisive struggle which resulted
in a overwhelming democratic victory

latter half Of the seventh innings,
when the high takers capitulated.
For two weeks or more last past
signs were not wanting that the

boomer. y great deal of work has
been done in improving the track and
putting the grounds in first-class order.
Large numbers of hOrSemen with their
horses have been quartered in the city
for many days past. Many entries in
the several departments of the fair
were made earlier than ever before,
and numerous circumstances seemed
to conspire to make the present fair
excel all previous exhibitions of the
associations.

Gentlemen-Seven years ago l contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. 1
tried a physician, the best at command, but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
oct sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, 1
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. | gave up the doctors treat
ment, and with despairing hope COM
menced taking your medicine. l began to
improve from the first bottle, and in short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me- but two bottles Of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.
