The Annual Free Fair. or Stallion Show, will
be held, Saturday. May 3. 1890, at the Fair
Grounds. The marked success of the exhibition
last year. and the evident satisfaction of all,
insure the success of the coming Fair. Last
years show also demonstrated the fact that the
public square is not the proper place to hold an
exhibition of this kind, as it affords no place for
showing the horses in motion to advantage. 1t
was therefore determined to hold the Show this
year at the Fair Grounds, where there are abund-
ant accom- mmodatiOns for horses and an opportu-
nifty for all to see them. Every stallion in the
county should be shown, and all breeders who
are interested in the improvement of horses, as
all should be, specially invited to be present

lude to the "Closing Out Sale " of A. T. Smith
Mr.. Smith has been long counted as one of the
leading dry goods merchants of Portage Co.
His success in pleasing ths public has been
proverbial, the key to which is found in his
methods of conducting his business, in pur-
chases and sales. What he does is well and
thoroughly done Better thoroughly accom-
plish one object than struggle in the vain en-
deavor to successfully forge g too many irons in
the Ere' In line with this conduct is this de-
cision to close cut his dry goods business, that
he may give his entire attention to the sale of
Carpets and Upholsterings, to satisfactorily
handle which, additional space is required. As
| to what his aim is in this new departure. the
future will reveal, but the present. with its
golden oportunities,' is of especial interest to
the public, in that they now have an oppor-
tunity to buy dry goods at mere nominal prices.
as their sale is urgent sufficiently SO to let
loose the dogs of war" en- anything pertain

means fun for the buyer, but death to surplus
''usufruct" " Meanwhile. read what Mr. Smith
has to say, the gist Of which is, tnat bargains
are in hot haste" for acceptance by the good
citizens of Portage County.
