TO OUR PATRONS.

We said last year to our patrons that
mo one knows better than the manage
ment OF tins association how much its sue
cess depends upon the interest and CO.
operation OF those who compete Tor It's
prizes, This is especially true OF the
farmers and stock ra,s"rs OF the county.
We take this opportunity OF extending our
thanks for the very generous action oil the
farmers last September, many OF whom
expended time and money Tor the prac'p-
al object oi making the EXHIBIT in the low
er hail, one that should be worthy OF an
agricultural association. We are also
very glad to hear from all parts OF the
county, that which makes us believe that
farmers are thoroughly awakened TO the
usefulness OF sueh an exhibit and IN many
cases are making plans in advance Tor
the advantage OF such. They may be as
sured that the association appreciates all
endeavors in this direction, and will use
all means at its disposal to make each eN-
hbit rs attractive as possible.
The lower hall will be devoted, as last
wear. principally to the exhibit Of agricul-
tural produce and will be under the Sener
al direction OF the same superintendent.
We thank our patrons in advance for what
we icel sure they will make the finest eN,
hi3it oil agricultural produce ever seen IN
Hancock County
The upper hail will be devoted TO much
the same purposes as last September.
The people OF oar county and espc2'2''y OF
and pains given to making success ot
the features shown here. We very
earnestly ask that the same spirit may be
shown in the coming fair. 1t is by this
interest alone on the part OF the commun-
ity who can do such work that its success
depends. We are especially DESTROYS that
the exhibits OF art and the different IN
dustries shall be unequalled Except at
the fairs held i'll the larger cities) by any
other in the state. We feel assured from
the kindness shown us last year that
this Will DC tTuc LNeIS ciiOib VIII ~
made to have impartial and competent
Judges, so that nothing but justice shall be
done" We can add but little to the
above, we certainly feel grateful for the
generous and furnished the Association
from so many gue,ts last September, and
we feel very sure they vii! aid US again IN
our endeavor to make the coming tair
great advance upon last year. There
were many congratulations then and SINCE
hearty criticisms and suggestions tor which
alike we are grateful. 1t is the determin-
alton of the managers OF this Far that the
meeting of next September shall not only
differ in many of the essential features tor
the amusement OF the thousands who Law
or US with tt cir attendance, but that Its
exhibits shall so far excel those OF the past
in number as to make them practically
new feature of the Far The Hancock
Co. Fair for 1894 must excel any other
County Fair OF the state. We thank you
in advance for the help we are sure to
have

shortIidgo Suggests "A More Humane
system Of killing Dogs.
At last nights session of City Council
Mayor Shortldge made a recommends-
tion that Council adopt a more humane
system of exterminating the dols that
are unfortunate enough to fall into
the hands of the dog catcher He said
that he had obtained the methods of the
systems of several cities and had con
cluded that Philadelphia had the best.
There the canine is killed by a oarbonle
acid process after being placed in a box
Al by by 70 feet.
The mayor gave up the appointment Of
the dog catcher to City Council. He
advised that two districts be made Of the

tion to the removal of the superin-
tendent and assistant OF the crematory,
appointed by this body, would respect
fully offer the following as our report:
"At tkeir next stated meeting on Tues
day evening, May 10 we met the Board
of Health, and after some discussion on
the matter, they offered as their reasons
g.. - n1r
his incompetency and his not being
trustworthy, which assertions we took
exceptions to for the following reasons:
First, that the Council in selecting
the superintendent, considered the quail
ication of the applicant very carefully
and furthermore MIR Layman produced
as good G recommendation as can be pro.
duced.
Second, we find after investigation,
that Mr.. Layman has had more than
thirty,years experience in running both
stationary and marine engines There
fore in our Judgment we deem him COM
petent to ill the position of superin.
/ tendent Of the crematory.
"Third, in regard to his being trust
worthy, we find that the persons who
have employed Mr.. Laymau for several
years, speak In the highest terms OF his

| Fourth, we believe there has been
undue influence brought TO bear on the
members of the Board Of Health for the
