A FAILURE
Was Sunday Opening of the State
Fair!

The Ohio State Journal, which cham
pioned Sunday opening of the State
Fair, said Monday morning, that the
crowd at the Fair, Sunday. was II, 600.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, put it at 10000.
Tuesdays Journal put the crowd on
Monday, at %, 900. more than ten times
what it was on Sunday, according to
their own figures. This shows that the
influence of the Christian ministers al
Columbus did not GO for naught. The
small attendance, Sunday, was a vindi-
cation of their course, and censure OF
the Agricultural Board.
But the censure is made even more
pointed, when the fact is known that the
crowd Sunday was not more than hal
what the papers gave out. Such is the
fact, as we gain it from private sources
The grand stand which was said tC
have been full, was not more than hal
full at any time. 1t is no wonder the
papeLs left out half of DR.. Rexford'.

provements- for
School.

The long drought has been broken
by the occasional showers, the grass
has become green and is looking up,
whereas it was dying out. There is
some corn that is past redemption
possibly it would be a help to corn to
have a nice shower of rain now and
and then. There has not been rain
enough to wet the ground down so that
it would do much good for those that
will have fallow ground to plow this
fall. Very few have potatoes that we
learn of in this locality. The old fash
ioned potato bug gave them roundup
first, then the dry weather fixed them
up in good shape.
The prospect for cloverseed is very
good just around here. Some are ex-
pecting 60 and 20 bushels from their
crops.
Two of our kind neighbors have
passea away.
