The Eastern Shore Agricultural Fair,

With the advent of summer new
interest is taken in the approaching
exhibitions OF this season. Already un-
usual enthusiasm is being manifested
in the coming E. s. Agricultural Fair
This is as it should be. Now is the
time to prepare for successful OK
hibition in August (23, "a, %, 26) The
farmer who wishes to take one or
more of the ten premiums this year
offered on sweet potatoes must see TO
that his plants have the best possible
manuripg and culture; the boy who
is ambitious to excel his neighbor and
make from five to ten dollars on a
pair of pigs or nice calf must see to
it that from now on they do not want
for kind treatment The lady who
would make some money Of her OVID
from the seventy six premiums Oh
preserves, iellies and jane, must not
let the berry and fruit seasons pass
unheeded. And SO in every depart
ment early preparation insures
creditable exhibit.
The horsemen are already taking
advantage of the fine condition of
the track. daily conditioning ard
developing their promising colts. We
trust that expected exhibitors in all
departments are exercising the same
foresight.
Our catalogue, the most complete
one we have ever had, is now in press
and will, at an early date, be ready
for distribution. We invite very
careful examination of the premiums
offered, and if you have anything OF
merit not catalogued bring it any
way. The Association has ever en-
couraged such voluntary exhibits by
a generous award of special premi-
ums, and if your article is worthy,
you will certainly have no reason to
regret your trouble.
The chiIdren's department merits
increased interest. This is an addi :
ton of recent years, and proper
one. The efforts of the children de-
serve to be recognized and rewarded.
Parents should encourage their chill
dren to take advantage of this op-
portunity to earn few dollars. We
desire to call especial attention to
the art exhibit. While the premi-
offered (ranging from $500 DOWN are
not so large as we would desire, yet
pecuniary aid should not be the
only incentive to make this corner OF
our hall attractive. There are fine
specimens of work on the Eastern
Shore and we hope to see the exhibit
in this department larger and compe
tition sharper.
Let us see how many bright boys
and girls-or older people for that
matter-can draw an accurate and
faithful map of the Eastern Shore.
The effort will fully reward anyone
who will make the attempt, inde-
peudent of the $500 in premiums and
the value of the map itself.
No pains will be spared to make
the coming the equal if not the SUI
perior of any fair ever held on the
Peninsula. In accomplishing this
end we ask the co operation and sup
port of our former patrons and all
others interested in the material adj
vancement of the Eastern Shore.
The fair is run solely in the interests
of the people. The hearty support
of our ladies, farmers and stock rails
ers in past years and the unusual
preparations that are being made for
the coming exhibit, lead us to be
lieve that this fact is appreciated.

The Change in Precincts

When the Marion county jury list
was selected, several weeks since,a list
OF the names OF the jurymen with the
precinct from which they were
chosen, was published. At a subse-
quent meeting Of the county court
the boundaries of several OF the pre-.
ciu is were changed aud one precinct
was divided ana two created in its
place This has caused considerable
confusion in that the sheriff will ex
perience not little difficulty In locat-
ing the prospective jurymen. The
changes in some OF the precincts will
not effect the residences of mary Of
the jurymen, but the slight changes
in BrUokaformerly Labish) )Woodburn
Geryais, Hubbard and Fairfield pre-
cinctS, places a number OF the mem
bers OF the jury in other precincts
than those from which they were
originally selected. The division Of
AbiQua pricinct into Monitor and Mt,
Angel precincts also changes the pre-
cinct residence OF members OF the
jury from that part OF the county. 1t
is not known how this irregularity
will be remedied, but IL Is probable
the county court will revise the list
OF jurymen and change the respective
precinct addresses OF the members
thereof to conform with the change $
recently made by that official body.

Evolution and Aionemen,.

Rev. j. 5. David OF San Francisco
gave talk on the above theme at the
residence of Hon. w. II. Holmes last
night. He claimed that the word
"Atonement" was made up OF the
two words "atn and zone" with the
atiiX "ment" atone mentt meaning
at one mind or generalization. Ii
means, he said, the reconciliation
OF man to God-not God To man. for
he who is love itself was never es-
tranged, Man. by the over coming OF
evil and error and by the unfolding OF
his spiritual character comes into
harmony or at-One-ment with God.
THIS is salvation. This is a radical
change from Sensualism TO spiritual
ity, from darkness TO light, from a
selfish to an unSeltish state. This at
one-ment was effected in divine per-
fectlon In the life Of tie Christ whose
humanity was brought into perfect
at-oue-ment with his divine nature
That was the pattern aud guide OF
our regeneration,
Mr.. David will lecture on "SphereS"
at the same place this evening.
