A CARD.

To the public:
1t has come to our knowledge
that a certain Armand Racquet ap.
peared before the Police Jury and
made the statement that through
favoritism we had been given the
job to repair the bridge near Mrs.
E. e. Mouton's place, and that we
had charged and obtained $25 for
the work when SO would have been
full compensation for it. He also
made the statement that only nine
planks were used in repairing the
bridge. These statements are alb
solutely false.
Had Mr.. Racquet been disposed
to ascertain the truth of this matter
he would have found GU, that the
work which was done was not such
a ,rif1e, but that it was fully worth
the amount paid by the parish au-
thorities Had he taken the trouble
to look under the bridge he would
have seen that the whole foundation
on one side was changed. The,
work was done during the bad
weather last November and we en-
pioyed George Perriot and Eloi
Comcau who worked four days
hauling the lumber and working on
the bridge.
The statements of Mr.. Racquet
are not true and are SO much at
variance with the facts that we are
forced to believe that he is implied
to make these charges by a chronic
desire to find fault with every thing
that is done in this country. He is
one of many who come to this
country and who instead of appre-
ciating the hospitality of our people
and the blessings of our free govern
ment spend their time in -reviling
their fellow citizens and denouncing
their adopted country.

Oldest i'm the State

Fridays Milwaukee Journal prints
an interesting article anent the his
tory of the Jefferson County and Rock
River Valley Agricultural society.
which is the oldest association of the
kind in Wisconsin. It was organized
at Hebron, in this county, September
10, 1858. Milo Jones, of Koshko-
nong, was the first president, and S. c..
Writer, of the same place. the first
secretary. The society held its first
county fair, the same month of that
year, on the grounds adjoining the
Green Mountain house, in the village
| of Fort Atkinson. The displays of
stock and farm products, ETC., at that
time were very creditable when the
crude character and limited facilities
they had are taken into consideration.
la 1867, after having been moved about
from Fort Atkinson to Jefferson and
from jefferson to Watertown and back
again, the fair was permanently
located in jefferson and has been held
there ever since. During all these
years, nearly half a century, the So
cleUy mas never falleG TO give It's an
nual exhibit. The fair has had its ups
and downs. but on the whole has been
uniformly successful. When county
fair in the early sos is compared with
an up-to-date exposition of 1899. how
strange is the contrast. A horse that
could OF a mile in three minutes was
dandy" and horse that could
travel that distance in 2:40 was a
wonder. No wild west show. No
lung testers and but few games of
chance. No parachute leaps. 70
high divers. No wheels of fortune.
Following the yearly custom, this
society will hold it's forty-ffth annual
county fair in jefferson. September 26
to 20 inclusive. Present indications
point to an exceedingly interesting
exhibition.

the Philippines will be determined by
the common sense for which Ameri
cans are famous. To put the matter
in his own words, "This is a practi-
cal age We are going to deal with
this question on the basis of dollars
and cents. If the American people
believe that the Philippines are going
to help us, they will never let the
islands go. If, on the other hand,
they find that the Philippines mean
2 constant drain and small return,
you will find the verdict of the peo-
pie TO be against permanent reten-
ton. | believe that the possession
ofsthe islands means a great stlmu-
lus to trade, especially for the Pacific

that we are going to develop this

tages. Neither religion nor sentiment

will be, will it pay? If we can show
the country that it will, as [ think
we can, the American flag will never
come down in The Philippines.
