Agricultural Fair.

Professor Alvord, of the Agricultural
College, recommends the formation of agri-
cultural societies ia all the counties through

We have always advocated such a PROJECT
and believe that nothing better could be done
to advertise our products, our lands aud our
territory. 1t will let our neghbo of other
sections of the State know where we are,
what we are doing and what We have of value
to the general public And it seems to US
that now while the desperate effort is being
made throughout The country 10 advance the
interest Of the farming communities an aeri-
cultural exhibition would be just the thing

is compelled 10 give 10 any such society

and as we have the Farmers Alliance organ.

there is no reason why this county should

Let the Farmers Alliance people think over
the matter; digest good plan Of organization

Pessimists we're on top in Wall street again

companied by material depression in values
all along the line. The Immediate cause of
this state OF affairs was the renewal of gold
shipments on large scale with the consequent
destru ton of confidence of bullish element in
the market and encouragement of further ad-
ditions to the short account. In addition to
shipments of gold, advices from the other side
were not very reassuring, and all sorts of wild
assertions, having for their tenor such ideas as
that the United States is drifting rapidly TO a
silver basis, and that the gold which is now
going out Will never come back, found
listeners. New selling naturally enhanced the
amount of business done, and trading to day
was more active than for the week past, but the
