AUDUBON COUNTY FAIR.

On September 3, 4, 5 and will be
held the annual meeting of the Audi
bon County Agricultural Society. It
is useless to tell the public that the
officers are working hard to make it
one of the best ever held in the coun-
ty. The officers and superintendent
of the various departments are look
ing after the details necessary for the
success of the enterprise, SO if the peo-
pie will lend their presence, their sup
port and their hearty cooperation and
approval the fair will fill the mission
for which it was created and be what
the people generally concede it should
be. 1t is one of the best and most
progressive organizationsint the county
and is potent factor in the growth
advancement and progress of the in
terests that marks Audubon county
one OF the banner counties in the
State. Every person regardless of bu-
siness calling ortprofession should be
proud of the achievements of the eoun-
ty and do all in their power to help
those who are working hard and dill
gently to advance the interests which
are the foundation and basis of the
welfare. happiness and prosperity. The
work has been done, and SO complete
ed that the success or failure of the
coming fair remains with the people
the general public. Everyone can con-
tribute something to add to the
exhibit. Everyone can be present and
lend their influence and contribute
enough of their surplus earnings to
make the meeting one for which they
and every progressive citizen in the
county will be proud of its success.
This work belongs to the people and
they should not neglect to do their du-
ty. Do not forget the dates. Be pres
ent and contribute of your presence
your influence and your means and
success will crown every effort.

A Baby Gone.

Another little one has winged its
way from earth, leaving sore hearts,
where once was JOY and gladness.
Last Friday the infant baby Of Mr.. M.
ID. Graves died and Sunday was bu-
ried in the Maple Grove cemetery, the
funeral services being conducted by
Rev. Holmes of the Christian church.
Only six months of life had come to
the babe but in that time it had
grown into the lives of its fond par
ents so that to break these earthly ties
seem to them cruel and heart render.

the sweet solace of hope that yet in
time to come they may clasp the tiny
hand and see the child that they loved
SO we'll.

RE.ENACTMENT OF
EXCLUSION LAW

NEW YORK, October 3.-A special to

Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, and X. NJ. Easley,
secretary OF the National Civic Fedora
ton. called on President Roosevelt to-
day to discuss labor matters with him
and to ask him to give some prominence
to the subject in his annual message to
congress. One of these matters is the
re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion
law. They told the president that this
was question Of vital interest to the
laborlHS men of the country and hoped
the president would recommend the re-
enactment OF the law. They also asked
the president to say something in his
message favorable to the eight-hour la
Dor law.
Roosevelt told his visitors he should
he glad to take these matters under con-
s.deration and asked them to express
their views to him freely
A special to the Post from Washing
ton says: Representative Babcock of
Wisconsin called on President Roosevelt
this morning. and after coming from the
White House, declared tariff revision
bill would be pushed vigorously in the
next congress. In speaking of the revi-
val of interest in reciprocity, he said
that this would affect his plans for push
ing the measure with which his name
is identified for removing duties on arti-
cles controlled by trusts. The people and
press OF the northwest, he declared were
committed to the principle for which he
stood, and would not be satisfied until
something was done. Reciprocity he re-
garded as unobtainable through treaties
and less adapted to meet the real needs,
If obtainable, than his own bill
