THE reports of assessors to the county
clerk reveal many unexpected things
One would naturally suppose there is not
a town In the state In which there is not
gold or silver watch. But Manitowoc
county furnishes ten towns and villages
the Inhabitants of which have DO pocket
time piece. They must judge time by
the sun. The towns without a watch OF
any kInd-with the possible exception
OF a waterbury--are Cato, Centerville,
franklin, Kossuth, Liberty, Maple Grove,
Mishicott, Newton, Rockisnd, Reedsvllls.
Cooperstown has only one watch, Eaton
2, Two Creeks and Two Rivers 3. The
poor devil in Cooperstown who has the
watch must be pestered to death on Sun
days IN answering queries as to what
time it ls. In Eaton the two can take
turns. The city of Manitowoc is not
burdened with timepieces, as there are
only 100 reported. Most wear chains
without any watch attachment.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The attendance on Thursday last al
the county fair was unusually large not
wItnstandlng that the day opened will
unfavorable weather. The receipts or
that day were over $500 above the re-
ceIDts OF the "bIg day" OF any preceding
| fair. The management hao made many
improvements on the grounds, not ex-
| tensive, but 10 the line of conyenIences
| The arrangement Of exhibits was much
better than during previous years and
made Inspection much easier. Expo 81
ton Hall looked very neat indeed. The
merchants who make exhibits year after
year, without compensation or premium
and solely for the purpose of helping the
fair are entitled to the gratitude of the
public. The, made god display this
year. many nniqne and pleasing features
beIug added. The frnlt exhibit was par
ticularly good.
Agricultural Hall was well flied a I'd
gave proof OF increased diversity 10 farm
ing. These exhibits are no longer limit
ed to cereals and root crops but include
products which few years ago would be
rarity. The poultry display was better
than ever before anc showed the progress
being made III this line OF industry in the
county.
The live stock exhibit was about the
same az usual, perhaps diminuatiOn In
the number OF entries. On the whole tie
agricultural exhibits were we'll up to the
average and in some depHr .ments much
superior to those OF any former year.
The racing beat the track record. The
entries were numerous and the horses

The crowd was unusually large 90
Thursday. The attendance on Friday
was considerably larger than Is usual on
any but the chief day. The crowd WAS
very orderly and gave considerable at
tention to the fakirs. The exhibition
hall was much more literally patroniZed
than usual. There Eeemed to he an In
crease rather than diminntion of inter
est notwithstanding a prediction to the
cOntTary.
Financially the fair has done much
better this year than it has IN the past
The aggregate receipts will be about
$4,000, which with what will be received
from the state Will enable the manage
ment to pay all premiums and other OK
penses without the necessity OF borrow

The fakirs Jared hard on the Fair
grounds last week. Some "gresny"
would lose his money and then 20 off In
search OF An officer and the poor fakir
would be compelled to restore his win
nings. But il the "greeny" won there
was no restitution. Then the game was
fair. In one case a young farmer lost
considerable. But he was not one OF the
whining kind. He had grit enough to
look after bis own interest. He leaned
over and seized roll of bills which
lay on the table and calmly marched
off with his spoils. He was induced later
to return portion of the money, but he
retained what he had lost in the game
and little more by way OF margin.
The fakirs pay 80 each for their stand.
They made but little this time as they
had to cough up" when they won. Not
one of them escaped the payment of the
fee. Charley Fechter made them come
TO time with wonderful promptness.
