ASCENSION.
The Mexico Fair Association Has
added q New A~ttructiU

Prof. Fisk is one of the most ia
nous aeronauts in the UnitedStates
and has, at a large salary and ex-
pense, been engaged by the Mexico
Fair Association to give exhibitions
at the two weeks October fair. Prof.
Fisk has spent a life time in this
business and his exhibitions are by
all odds the bestin the UnitedStates.
Prof. Fisk does not go up alone in
his mammoth balloon. He takes
up with him goats, which will de-
scend on a parachute. Carrier
pigeons and other birds are freed
from a cage as the Professor as
cends. Dogs, pigs, calves end other
animals will descend from the as
cending balloon by means of para
chutes. This exhibition is by all
odds the most attractive ever given
in this county. The first exhibition
will be given On Monday, Oct. 10,
the first day of the fair. This being
the holiday in our schools the little
folks will have a chance to enjoy
the show. There will be fire works
during the October meeting and in
all we think Mexico will have a two
weeks carnival. Prof. Fish carries
large lot of press notices which
speak in the highest praise of his
wonderful feats in mid air.

RUSH HILL, Sept. 27.-The wealth
er is very fine on corn, much to the
pleasure of our farmers.
Many farmers have finished SOW
ing wheat.
Some corn is being cut up already
and it is a very difficult task this
year, it being tangled very badly by
recent storms.
Henry Cole has quit threshing
and is now blowing for wheat. If
he has as bad luck as he did last
spring with his corn, it will take
him until Christmas to get through.
Mr.. Mike Devaney's folks are
sick, caused by using bad water.
Come to our picnic next Saturday
with your baskets well filled for an
old fashioned basket dinner.
Wonder if Mr.. Petty doesn't think
that Texas ponies were made to test
a mans religion.
We extend a special invitation to
Mexico to attend our picnic. Re-
member it is southwest of Rush
Hill, in w. &. Sims pasture.
When you come to our picnic
bring several political giants along,
as we are preparing for them. We
understand one or two joint debates
are on the programme.
