In the probate court, on Tuesday last,
Prosecuting Attorney VIM. Aull made
final settlement as administrator OF his
fathers estate, and was formally dis
charged. The estate was splendidly man
aged for the heirs by Mr.. Aull, who set
tied everything to the entire satisfaction
of every member of the family. In taking
charge of the estate Mr.. Aull was required
to furnish a bond for $500, 900, the heaviest
ever required by a probate judge of this
county. The satisfactory and expeditions
manner in which Mr.. Aull settled up the
affairs of the estate speaks volumes for his
business ability and untiring energy in
the discharge of whatever duty devolves
upon him.

Fox, was arrested by the sheriff last
Thursday and placed behind the bars for
carrying concealed weapons and being
badly intoxicated on the streets. He rode
into town on a small pony which he
he offered t. sell at Young's stable for S.,
but failing there he went to Kelley's and
there offered the animal for ~, but 1t was
not wanted. He had a mason's trowel
and a big revolver in his pockets and his
actions were so suspicious that the officers
concluded that the animal was stolen. He
| claimed to have ridden all the way from
| st. Louis, but it seemed ridiculous that he
would attempt to ride that distance with
out a saddle or blanket. He is being held
on the charge of carrying concealed
weapons.
Vast preparations are being made by
the managers of the fair associations for
the meeting which commences on We'd
nesday, September %, and continues four
days. The fair this year gives every
promise of being the best held in recent
years, as the entries will be larger and the
premiums more liberal. The association
will not be hampeIed by a scarcity of
money, and every premium will be
promptly paid as given in the lists. The
fair will be largely attended this year,
and it will be made as attractive as
possible. There will be special features
for the amusement and instruction of the
young, and the older people will there
meet friends and acquaintances and enjoy
the pleasure OF an introduction to others
who have but lately taken up their resi-
dence in the county. Lafayette has as
many fine animals within its confines as
can be found in any other county In the
state, and large numbers of the best and
most valuable ones will be on exhibition
this year. Let everybody attend.
