bad weather. The e., N. e. l.. sold 81
tickets on Thursday and the Southern

were In all probably 1875 tickets sold,
which represents the attendance upon
the Fair from this place.
There has been an unusual amount of
wheat sold here this season This is a
good thing and shows that our people
arc going to have plenty of ilour for
their own use another year, and with
other rollcr mills going up there will

case. The gentlemen who have the

soon. We need these enterprises and
