THE Big FAIR.
Preparations For the Annual Event
Nearly Completed.

Owing TO the issue of the NORTHWEST
earlier this week than usual our detailed
report Of the Fair will be reserved for next
week, as preparations have not been fully
completed mp to the hour OF going to press.
II the signs of the times be IN index
whatsoever Hapoleon's Fair of '92 will far
supercede its predecessors.
The officers have been laboring for weeks
to secure every attraction within the scope of
fairs and their efforts in every instance have
been crowned with success. Add to this
the fact that the weather seems to have been
made especially for the Fairs benefit, and
it can hardly be conceived how the Fair can
possibly fall short of the hopes Of the most
sanguine and enthusiastic.
The races alone this year will amply repay
for your attendance, no matter from how
great distance you may be compelled to
come. The track has been thoroughly
rehauled and many of the finest racers in
northwestern Ohio have been entered to
compete for unusually liberal stakes. For
the convenience of those occupying the
grand stand a canvass awning has been
stretched from the stand, across the
track and beyond the judges stand, thereby
avoiding the hot rays of the afternoon sun.
Napoleon's Fair has long enjoyed an
envable reputation for having the most
artistic display in the Floral Hall. This
year it fairly breaks its own record, each
merchant striving to out do his neighbor in
this contest of tastes.
The floral decorations in the center of the
hall are assuming monstrous proportions,
the ladies very generously contributing the
use Of their most valued hot house treasures.
The entries of artistic and fancy work
were never greater in number nor composed
of higher grade of work.
In the stock department is readily mani
tested the gigantic strides Henry Comfy
breeders are makidg towards bringing our
stock to very high standard. The entries
here are also many and varied.
The only department short as yet is that
OF agriculture. This is due to the very
Door season Just finished, still the farmers
are making strenuous efforts to hold up
their end of the string, and while the crops
are short, their zeal and pride in bringing
IN the fair their very b, st and most carefully
selected products, will make fairly
credible showing.
Adding to the attractions of the main
departments an unusually large number oi
exhibits in machinery, carriages, wind-milli
etc., the display this year will be found one
, of large proportions and of great merit.
Come and secure the benefit derived from
I the exhibits.
Bring your families prepared to stay al
day,
The balloon ascension and parachut
descent of man and dog alone will be wort
the money expended.
Attend the Big Napoleon Fair.

His Second Term.

Monday, the 9Th inst, Treasurer Conrad
Groll entered upon his second term of office
as Treasurer of Henry county.
1t is not necessary to dwell upon the record
Mr.. Groll has made during his first term OF
Office, nor to predict what it will be for the
next two years.
That he has made an ideal treasurer and
will continue in the same path we all know
and appreciate his worth correspondingly.
He has the congratulations of the NORTH
WEST for demonstrating his eficie ncy in the
capacity to which people the have elected

The Proper stuff-Re-Enlist.

The enlistment of the Napoleon band as
the 18th Regiment Band expires some time
this Fall. As we understand it the
members have the promise of re-enlistment
if they 80 desire for five years with the
privilege of withdrawing within year, if
they see fit. The boys should enlist to
man. 1t is the one organization above all
others that is a credit to the town aud, liter
ally as well as fguratively has always footed
its own horn to queens taste. Then again
the prospects are hattsring to spend a
month of '92 at the Worlds Fair in its mill
tary capacity.
By all means re-enlist.

A Mistake,

The Rileys are here and the week promises
to be good theatrical one with but one con-
dition to mar the outlook. Up to datoi the
regulation number OF babies have not been
present to assist the actors by adding their
soul stirring, though unhistronic, bawl.
Monday and Tuesday night there were
only 10 little tootsy wootseys present by
actual count. They all had good lungs, and
used them, but the audience realized that
the number was not enough to get down to
desirable business.
Don't forget to bring the babies, and the
crosser they are the better appreciated by
both actors and audience.

Joseph Eichel, of Ridgevile township. lost
horse last week in a singular manner.
The animal had been turned loose in the
yard and happened to stray on an old well.
The covering had become rotten and was
unable to bear the horse's weight, it breaking
through, and falling distance of 27 feet to
the bottom, Its neck was broken by the fall.
Search was made for one half day before the
horse was discovered.

many of whom leave their horses and cattl Q

Lemonade is first rate for billiousness

ade without sugar if possible, in any event
it should not be too sweet. A medical expert
says that glass of lemonade without sugar
before going to bed and another after
rising in the morning, about half an hour
before breakfast, is preferable to- calomel
for billiousness> Lemons should not be

cies OF incorporation were deemed insufficient,

TO draw up supplemental articles with q view of
