HUGH WILLIAMS DEAD.

Hugh w. Williams died at his home at
South Bend Wednesday forenoon, from
the effects oflnjuries sustained under the
sad circumstances heretofore published.
He was born in North Wales in 1928,
and was consequently 81 years of age.
He emigrated to this country in 1850
snd resided at Racine, Wis, about six
years, coming to Minnesota in 1856,
and locating on the farm near South
Bend, where he has resided ever since.
About a year ago he sustained fall
from his barn, which injured him
severely, fracturing his hip bone and
causing internal and, it is believed,
spinal injuries. He partly rallied,
however, and was able to be about
again during the past winter and sum-
mer, but his wonted strength and
spirits did not return. With the advent
of warm weather he slowly sank into a
physical and mental decline, character
lied by most severe indigestion and ex-
treme dependency, and his mind be-
came seriously effected.
The deceased was strong character,
successful in his worldly enterprises
and industrious and efficient in his bust
ness. He was a kind and indulgent
husband and father. Noone was more
honest in all the minutest details of life.
In religious belief he was Methodist,
having been more or less actively con-
nected with that church all his life.
He was possessed of wide
acquaintance throughout the county,
being one of the old settlers, and he
leaves many old and true friends, who
will sadly miss him. He leaves wife
and five children, all grown, and they
will cherish his sterling, honest char
acter, his worthy, high precepts and his
blameless life as their best inheritance.
The funeral will take place at 10
O'Clock, Friday from the house.

THE COUNTY FAIR.


The Blue Earth County Fair will be
held at Garden City next week Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 18th,
18th and 10Th. Preparations have been
made for an unusually large exhibit,
and the outlook is for one of the most
successful fairs ever given by the Asso-
citation. There will be racing each day,
as well as other interesting features
For several years the stock exhibit at
these fairs have been of an extent and
quality that would do credit to fair of
much greater pretensions. This alone
is well worthy a trip to the fair to see.
We feel like urging the farmers to
turn out and make the fair a success in
point of attendance. The village of
Garden City is easily accessible from all
parts of the county. By coming togeth-
er and observing the success of others,
each farmer ought to be able to intro
duce some improvement upon his farm
that will bring money into his pocket.
This is an age of progress, and the adj
vancement in farming is not tagging
much behind the other industries in
the race. He who would succeed in the
competition must be wideawake and
ready to take advantage of such new
ideas as may at any time become mani
fest to him. BY coming together in mu-
tual intercourse at the fair each can ex-
change ideas with the other, or at least
be stimulated by what he observes to
renewed efforts, and in the endeavor to
excel, more enlightened methods must
necessarily be adopted. whenever pos
sible. In this way the condition of the
farmer is ameliorated and the Bakers
find no responsive chord when they be-
little the profit and the dignity of farm
ing.
Garden City is pleasant drive of an
hour and half from Mankato, through
most beautiful and rich country, and
our citizens who have outfits can find
no pleasanter or more profitable way to
spend a day than to drive over during
the fair. The Omaha road furnishes an
easy and convenient way of reaching
the village. Let our business men cast
aside their work for a day and meet
their farmer friends in social way, for
getting to even mention trade. 1t will
do all parties good.
