is in good shape for the fair this year.
The grounds have been put in proper
condition, new fence built. the
buildings thoroughly overhauled and
repaired. 1t says from the substan-
tial manner in which the buildings
have been repaired it appears that
the fair has been revived for all time
to come. 1t is said Floral Hall will
be stronger than when it was first
built. The heaviest kind OF lumber
was used in the repairs and it will be

The finest colt in the county we
dare say belongs to Mr.. |. NJ. Green.
He had him here few days days ago
to be weighed when many of our
citizens admired and remarked upon
this well nigh perfect specimen Of
horse flesh. Mr.. Green is very proud
of the colt and has christened him
Joe Patchen." His weight at IS
months and Is days old (the date on
which he was weighed) was $40 40pounds
1t was Mr.. Green's intention to
send Joe Patchen' to the State Fair
this week but he was disappointed in
the arrangement he thought he had
made about getting some one to look
after him. We doubt if there will be
a finer one there.

CHIVALRY On THE FIELD
Chicago Times-Herald.

There are many of these tales,
and some Of them are very beauti-
fal A man who had been a pr.
Vate in an Illionois cavalry regi-
ment told me once Of an incident
of the battle of Jonesboro. He
and his comrades has been dis
mounted in the edge of thick woods
and dismounted cavalry are the
hardest CT troops to rout. In
front of them was an open corn
field, quarter Of a mile wide, with
woods upon its further side. Rein
forced by half dozen companies
of infantry, possibly 1900 feder-
ais lay perdu. In nnder, a COM
pany of confederates, not more
than ninety men all told, was or
dered to attack. With a yell the
handful swept out of the opposite
woods and charged across the
field. At a distance of 100 yards
a single volley disposed of them.
Those that were left on their feet
wheeled and scampered back to
their position.
One, however, remained. He
was the captain in command and
had been far in advance Of his
men. When he found himself de-
serted he stopped and folded his
arms. Sixty yards away, alone
in the wide field, the summer sun
pouring down upon the silver gray
of his uniform, he stared stanchly
into the eyes of 1900 foemen. He
only beardless boy and the
newness Of his clothing showed
ahat he was but few days from
home. All down the long line of
fcderais ran cry, Don't shoot
him!'' lie gave the military salute
and marched steadily back to his
men. Not gun was fired.
