The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead

TO the Farmers Of Northern Wisconsin,:
The Northern Wisconsin State Fair
which opens at Chippewa Falls on
Sept. 10Th to 22nd inst. will be one Of
the greatest Agricultural Fairs ever
held In the state of Wisconsin. Now,
this is your fair and hope that every

hiblt his goods and products, for the
officers have endeavored to make the
premiums larger than ever before,
and | further wish TO state that there
will not be any fakes, liquor sold, nor
gambling allowed on the grounds.
Important business has called me
away on short notice and 1t may be
impossible for me to be with you
which regret very much, but in my
absence we have one of the best men
in the state of Wisconsin to take my
place, First Vice-President Robert b.
Clarke, and he, with our efficient Sec
rotary, NJ S. Bailey, will take care of
you all and treat you right, Last year
we had several county exhibits and |
hope we may have several new ones
this year as this is good way to adj
yertise your county lands as we shall
have great many home-seekers there
as all rail roads have given half fare
rate. Now let us all work together
for Northern Wisconsin and instead
of lands selling at 81 so per acre they
will be selling at $25 within the next
five or six years and we shall be get

how such slave was made free. He

for FIVE years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles OF Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme rem
edy for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness. sleeplessness, melan-
choly, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle work
ing medicine is godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bot
tie guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold
