YALE St. Clair County, Mich FRIDAY SEPTEMBER
THE FAIR !
The Thirteenth Annual
Fair and Races a
Success.
The Weather Was Fine and
the Attendance Large.

We are glad to be able to chronicle
that our fair this year went far ahead
of that of last and all conditions being
favorable we can safely promise that it
will now become better every year
We need badly new floral hall, the
one now in use is in such bad shape
that people do not care to make eXhi-
bits, n slight rain would ruin every
thing, and then there are no conven-
fences. But from what we hear we
shall have a nice new hall next year
aud the ladies will bring all their
pretty fancy work and take pleasure
in seeing neat hall we'll filled. This
year the exhibit in fancy work was not
very large but it was all tasty and
pretty. The children's corner was the
center of attraction. They fairly out
did themselves. The specimens of
cake, pies, bread, etc, looked good
enough to eat, certainly, and the fancy
work, drawings, etc, made one won
der that child under fifteen years of
age could do it. The collection of
paintings, though small, were fine and
showed skilled hands
| We wonder when we see the beauti-
! ful and thrifty plants and flowers with
which most of our housewives of Yale
fill their windows why it is we see so
! few plants at the fair. The center Of
1.-THE building should be used for this
! purpose, n circular stand built on pur-
pose would be just the thing. Flowers
add so much to the beauty of a ROOM
We hope next year TO see this carried
out. Just at the corner past the paint
ngs and plants we met Miss Alldritt
with her knitting machine, which s.
quite curiosity to great many and
Interesting to all.
! Next in line was s. fine exhibit OF
cloaks, capes, jackets and trimmed
hats by Mrs. j. &. Holden. This is
something that Mrs. Holden has lately
gene into and the scheme promises
| fuil success. Across the hall good
exhibit of cloaks, wraps, clothing, table
! spreads, etc. was made by W. III. Bal
! lentine. An excellent exhibit of sew
ing machines came next, superin-
| tended by G.. Cooper. Around the
corner were several pianos and organs,
exhibited by X. :. Patterson. 4 good
show of harness, etc. was made by Jno.
Mccormick d Sons.
ON the vegetable side some grains
were shown while the array of vege-
tables was large and excellent. En-
ormous cabbages, pumpkins, squashes,
beets, potatoes and other vegetables
graced the shelves and presented a
fine appearance. Across. the fruit
was placed but the shelves were not
nearly as full as we would like to
have seen, nor was there such col
lection of canned fruits, jellies, etc.
as of yOre, or of butter and bread.
Outside there was a small exhibit of
poultry also of stock.
w. III. Harris, of Yale, made good
display of wagons, carriages, etc. as
did also NJ. j. Bourke, of Brockway.
The total number of entries to the
fair was 700. The total receipts from
all sources S73j.l0. 1t is not known
as yet what the expenses are but the
society believes it will be money ahead
The fair closed on Thursday after
noon with some fine races. A large
attendance was present to witness the
| sport. Here is the result:

FAIR NOTES.

FAIR NOTES.
President Foley's twin calves were
admired by everybody. They are
beauties and no mistake.
The several stands must have been
well patronized as everyone seemed to
be munchlng something.
The Merry-go-round stopped for
nothing during the two days but to
get a new relay of passengers. Busi-
ness thrived here.
The balloon made no ascension the
second day, as advertised, the wind be-
ing too strong to initiate it. There
must have been too little wind the
third day as the balloon hardly rose
over the peoples heads and landed
just over the fence.
The second day was fair but rather
cold and windy. The last day the
weather was all that could be desired.
The dust was the only disagreeable
thing to put up with. The distance to
the fair grounds is quite long and
those having to walk found the dust
almost intolerable.
The election of officers was held on
the second day of the fair. Total
number of votes cast, 43. For pres
ident X. Nj. Lothian received 20, Jas.
McColl 10 and Daniel Foley 4. For
treasurer James McColl received 2S,
X. NJ. Lothian 8, John Holden and
VIM. Hodgins 5. For secretary John
Wark received 80. For directors j. III.
Hydorn received So, William Hodgins
35, A. w. Ferguson SO, Daniel Foley 1,
X. NJ. Lothian 3, Neil Holden /, James
Wallace 1.

A Campaign of Confessions.
From the ST. Louis 'Renublic.

Lexington, KY, July l4.-Evan e. Set
tie, candidate for congress against Col.
Breckenridge, spoke at the opera house
to-ni9ht to a well-flled house, a large
number of ladies being present
After making regular political speech
Settle caused a tremendous sensation by
confessing that twelve or thirteen years
ago he had lost everything he had at
cards mortgaged his home, and that his
wife sued for the recovery of the money.
He told how she got judgment in the
lower court, how the case was appealed,
and the decision of the lower court re-
-versed, and that she Fever got one cent.
He said that his wife brought the suit TO
save him and their little ones; 10 save
him from a drunkard's grave and the
children from starvation.
While he was making this confession
Mr.. Settle was nearly overcome with
emotion, ana many persons present ehed
tears when he told how bis patient, loyal
wife would wait for him, sitting Ia the
back door until he staggered home IN the
gray OF the early dawn, bankrupt Ia purse
and bereft Of reason with liquor.
Mr. Settles confession was received
with hearty applause, and the general
opinion 10 that be made many friends

ROTATION IN OFFICE" We believe
in the Democratic principle of rotation
in state and county offices, by which
all the people may have share in the
government, as far as possible and
we are opposed to appointments
Platform Democratic Party of Della
SOGre. Rotation " in the platform
means one thing, but rotation prac-
tically applied, means another thing.
By a fair construction of rotation" in
ofiics, Mr.. l.. Irving Handy should
have been nominated for Congress last
Tuesday week. He was the chairman
of the Democratic State Convention in
1892, when the Democrats won a
glorious victory in Delaware, and
succeeded in giving Grover Cleveland
a plurality of 514 against plurality of
4441 in 1888. Mr.. Handy has been
badly treated, but he has the misfort-
upe of being a poor man and not able
to contribute to the Democratic cam
paign fund an amount equivalent to
the salary of a congressman for four
years.-MOrning NeaUs.
ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC KICKER
Messrs. Dickey and Neary will be
taxed to there utmost to whip into the
party traces the the Democrats who
are kicking because of the nomination
of Samuel Bancroft for Congress. The
Newark Ledger, which is looked upon
as the organ of Prof. Handy, is almost
as bitter as the EUening Journal, in its
opposition. Whether it can be silenced
remains to be seen. The Newark Led
ger on Saturday came out in a scath-
ing editorial on the nomination OF
Samue! Bancroft Jr., and on the ring
rule in this State it says: "Will
Doodle and the Wilmington ring win
There exists the gravest doubt with us,
and as the honest voters want an
election they will not support a candi-
date who exspects and will spend
money freely to corrupt the ballot to
secure a seat in Congress. Can an
honest man support such a standard
bearerP The present is as good a
time to rebuke the politician and ring
sters as any other. The question is
plain that the City of Wilmington in.
tends to run this county, and the
whole State if they dare. The Ledger
concludes by stating to its reader
"You can take your choice between
the two Republican nominees for Con
gress-Jonathan S. Willis and Samue
Bancroft, Jr. The first is a straight
out honest Republican, and the other
claims to be a Democrat. "Voters, We
leave the question with you. Settle i
to suit yourself We are not in favor
of Doodle in politics, and shall always
endeavor to champion right and suffel
the result"
