September First to the Fourth.

This is the date fixed for the annual
Fair OF the Howard County Agricul.
tural Society. The Society will de-
vote the Agricultural Hall to the ex.
elusive use Of the varied farm prod
ucts Of the county. An examination
of the Premium List will show to the
farmers that the Society having a
due appreciation Of the Importance
Of fine display of farm products at
our county fair, has increased the
premiums offered, which will afford
some compensation for the trouble OF
suitably showing to the thousands
from abroad the vast resources and
capabilities Of our county. Every
farmer is interested in the progress,
development and growth of his coun-
ty, because with these come better
public highways, better public
schools, a larger consumption of his
products and better markets. Every
farmer should take pride in helping
on the growth Of his county, and to
this end should have something on
exhibition that will demonstrate not
only his interest, but which will also
place his county right before the
public for the producing qualities OF
our soil and climate. Premium lists
can be obtained from the Secretary
by writing to him or by calling at
the Cresco Union Savings Bank.

For two years past the Agricultural
Society has offered purse for band
contest. The first year two bands
competed and the entire purse taken.
Last year but one band entered;
they received $500, and an orchestra
was also engaged at $50, and it was
paid without q murmur, but when
the home band offer to play at q
price 800 lower than has been paid
for two years, the Secretary begins
to look for some cheaper music, and
contemplates hiring theatrical band
Mt a price which will about reimburse
the boys for the loss Of wages for one
day. A theatrical band can play for
q small amount as it is all clear gain
and an advertisement for the show,
but in Justice to the manager of this
company, Warren Noble, we will say
that they decline to play if it will in
jure the home band in closing a con-
tract. The Fair management will do
the wise thing if they hire our home
band at fair price as they, and mol
a foreign band, are the ones who are
always expected to be ready when
music is wanted, and band cannot
be kept organized when no financial
announcement is given.

scenes to the great hereafter. For
more than two years his health had
been on the decline, but not 50 but

months. His trouble seemed to be q
complication Of diseases; asthma and
heart failure being prominent fea-
lures. For several weeks he was un-
able to lie down in bed, taking what
rest he obtained sitting in an easy
chair. On Sunday, complaining Of q
severe pain in his arm, he asked for
drink Of water, which being brought
he was unable to drink and almost
instantly passed away.
He was among the first settlers of
the county, locating near Lime
Springs; the first acquaintance the
writer had with him, being In August
1857, which was renewed the next
spring when Mr.. and Mrs. Searles
with but one child, were in the little
public house at that village as its
host and hostess. In 1860 he was
elected sheriff Of Howard county and
at the expiration of mis- term was re-
installed. Subsequently he was a
member of the board of Supervisors
and for two terms was County Treas.
urer, completing the last term on the
accession Of Mr.. Salisbury to the Office.
He has been largely engaged in
mercantile business at various times
in the county, the firms with which
he was connected being Of the lead

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

remedies. Deafness is caused by an

When this tube gets infiamed you
have q rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result and un-
less the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
