The officers of the agricultural so,
ciety hope there will be large at.
tendance of members at the meeting
of the society, on the 18th. An at
tempt Of some kind will be made to
clear up the debt of the society. One
method that has been discussed is TO
plat part of the land along 18th
street, not needed for fair purposes,
and sell them for city lots. Another
proposition is to clear up the land in
side the track and have the buildings
there. One thing, however, is neces-
sary, and that is to take some steps to
relieve the society Of the bonded debt
burden. Every one interested i'm the
success and continuance Of the socis-
ty, should attend the coming session.
More interest will have to be taken in
the society by the citizens in the fu-
ture, if the fairs are to be continued.
BE sure and attend the session.

to Congressman Fisher, and we be-
lieve he will see that the postoffice is
organized. At present there is post
Office known as Ossineke, but it is sit
uated in the township Of Sanborn.
Several other postoffices are needed in
the other townships of this county,
and the only way to get such, is for

Campbell q Nicholson have the
contract for putting up the smoke
stacks in the Gilchrist lumber mill.
The smokestacks will be something of
a novelty in the city. The first one,
instead of pointing straight up in the
air, as is usual, is extended to the ref.
use burner distance of S5 feet, and
enters the burner little below the
cone. About midway to the burner,
it receives the smoke from the second
smokestack. The smoke from both
smokestacks is discharged inside the
refuse burner. There will be no
danger of those smokestacks blowing
down as did the old ones; there are less
spark arrestors to look after, and less
iron will be needed to build the smoke
stacks, than if they were erected in
the usual way.
