Great District Fair.

T. J. Simons, secretary of the Great
District Fair Of Stevens Point, was in
the city Monday and told the writer
that they were making preparations to
have one of the most attractive fairs in
the history of the association. They
laid out SlO35 in improving the race
course; 5000 in the erection of a house
at entrance for driver. They offer S2,-
700 in purses for races the largest
amount of any like association in the
state. The circuit consists of Stevens
Point, Green Bay, Oconto, Wisconsin
and Menominee, Mich. They invite
the stock raisers, manufacturers and
workers in art in this county to the fair
with an exhibition of their wares and
handiwork. There being no fair in this
county, we would suggest that our peo-
pie here take an active interest in our
sister association. A half fare rate has
been arranged for over the Green Bay
railroad. Let every body plan to have
a good time

The preacher is needed to-day just as
much and more than ever, if he will
only, like his master, seek his field.
To the poor and the ignorant Christ
came first. To-day they are served last.
1t will do the preacher a world of good
to broaden his understanding of human
nature in this respect, as did his
Master. Too much is the simplicity of
the gospel covered up with the purple
of ambition. Pride of intellectual
display on the part of the pulpit and
aristocratic excluslveness on the part of
the congregation often cause men of
the world to ask, in all honesty: "Is
this the religion founded by Jesus
Christ? Gov. Hoard.

CATARRH,
Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Fever.
A NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence OF living parasites in
the lining membrane Of the nose and Gus
facf5isn tubes, Microscopic research how
ever, has proved this to be a fact and the
result is that simple remedy has been for
mulated whereby cftarrll, catarrhal deafness
and hay feter are permanently cured in
from one to- three simple applications made
at home by the patient once in two weeks.
n. B.-For catarrhal discharges peculiar to
females twf1ites) this remedy Is specific.
