The COUNTY FAIR.-The Hunt

The COUNTY FAIR.-The Hunt
ingburg Fair is in full blast this
week, but for some cause the show
Of stock, farm products and ladies
handiwork is not as extensive as
heretofore. Possibly the fear Of
diphtheria, which is prevalent in
Huntingburg, has deferred many
from exhibiting. The fancy bicy-
Gle riding and the trapeze perform
ances, on the inside OF the track,
are well worth seeing, while the
races are not slow for a county fair.
On Wednesday the attendance
was not as large as it should be,
either. Our people should make
the annual fairs an occasion for
meeting each other from all parts Of
the county, kind Of social re-
union, and comparing notes Of the
year-whether they have any ex-
hibits or not. This would encour-
age the Fair association, and en-
able it to offer such premiums for
home products as would insure good
exhibits.
At the Wednesdays trotting race
serious accident was narrowly
averted. One horse fell down, and
broke the sulky shafts, and the
horse just behind ran over the down
horse, driver and sulky, throwing
the last driver out but he retained
hold Of the lines. Beyond break
ing down both sulkies no damage
was sustained, but it was a narrow
escape.

SENSATIONAL CASE NEAR HOWARD.

Ensley Village and Howard City are
becoming aroused as particulars Of the
disgraceful assault upon the fourteen
year. old school girls, May Fairbanks
and Eva Watkins, by three prominent
young men becomes better known. 1t
now looks as though public opinion
will demand the utmost punishment
for the crime, which is laid at the door
OF Arthur Kinney, school teacher; Leo
Gillet, farmer; and Olney McCutcheon,
storekeeper and postmaster at Ensley.
The story as related by Eva Watkins
Is as follows: cater attending the
dance we started home with Leo Gillet
and overlook the other two men who
got into the sleigh with us. They at
tempted TO force Us TO drink whiskey
from bottle When we reached our
house they whipped the horses into a
gallop and hurried Us to Olney Nc
Cutcheon's store. During the struggle
to drag us into the store ! stabbed
Arthur Kinney with a long hatpin.
May screamed to me to run to William
Ensley's house, across the road, for
help. ran to the house and aroused
the family. William and Charles Ems
ley went to the store and rescued May
from Kinney. Then we started home"
The most remarkable feature about
the case is that no steps were taken to
bring them to justice until the respect
i've families had discussed the affair
with relatives Of the girls and agreed
that their sons deserved punishment.
The farmers believed they could have
the men tried and punished without
allowing it to become known, and when
they discovered that publicity was I'M
avoidable, strenuous efforts were made
to stop the wheels of justice, and it is
not certain whether relatives Of the
girls did not assist in the effort.

LEVI A. BURHANs.

Levi A. Burhans, the present effic.
ent county commissioner OF schools, is
the republican candidate to succeed
himself, and has richly earned both
the denomination which was given
him by reclamation, and the reelection
which is sure to follow. He has had
but one term and party usage would
give him another. But it is not usage
alone that can be urged in his behalf.
The able and Jealous manner In which
he has discharged the duties OF the Of
flee, single him out as the right man
for the place.
Mr.. Burhans was born on a. farm.
He attended the district schools until
he entered the Portland high school,
from which he graduated. After grad
uation, he entered at once upon the
work of teaching. His first school was
in the township OF Dandy, and he taught
for five years in the district schools OF
Ionia comfy, during which time he
was chosen as member of the board
school examiners. He also holds
certificate and diploma as a graduate
of the state normal college.
AS county commissioners he has sue
ceeded in enlisting the active coopera-
tion OF the entire body OF teachers and
uperintendents OF the county. The
associations and Institutes haye never
before been so largely attended or
awakened so deep an interest.
Mr. Burhans has become thoroughly
familiar with his work and is in a posi-
tion to accomplish more for the teach
ers and schools, during the coming two
years, than any new man can possibly
do. He should receive the cordial
support OF every patron and friend of
the schools in Ionia county.

In most sections where rural delivery
has been inaugurated it has been vel
coined as the greatest possible benefit
the government could confer, but there
are communities in which the system
has been condemned as positive dam
age to business interests. The proof,
TO be sure, has not been conclusive, but
the statements have nevertheless been
made, 1t is claimed that farmers do
not 90 to town so often where they
have free mail delivery and that, in
consequence, the merchants at post
Office points suffer loss of business.
1t is not likely that any legitimate bus
mess suffers in this way Farmers may
not so often visit the villages near
them, but their real wants are just as
many and they must spend just as
much to crafty them. The man who
reads a daily newspaper and who has
messages from the outside world every
day is a livelier man than one who
does not. He has more interests and
more wants. He has a desire to see
and experience the things which are
daily being brought to his attention.
Free delivery is just as good for the
man in the country as for the man in
the city. There can be no doubt that
the system has come to stay and that
every year will see it extended over
more territory. Michigan Tradesman.
