TUESDAY FAIR DAY.
1t was dark and gloomy day but nevertheless
Considerable business was transacted

1t was dark and gloomy day but nevertheless
Considerable business Was transacted
Tuesday was WatertOwn's regular
monthly fair day and it was everything
but fair. Not a glimpse of the sun was
obtained throughout the entire day but
Notwithstanding the condition of the
weather Third street was a scene of I'M
usual activity althoughexchanges were
slow for September fair. Many of the
transactions that occurred during the day
were amusing. An old farmer brought
horse to town early yesterday morning
and after standing around talking horse
with everyone he came finally disposed
of the animal for one dollar. Another
man had come to town with horse, bug
gy, churn and half barrel of pork and
ended w by trading them off for another
horse which he sold in turn for twenty
dollars. He seemed somewhat pleased
over the deal and Immediately invited
few friends to the brown colored liquid
stand and there's no doubt that he en-
joyed the remainder of the day but
whether he had any of the twenty dollars
left is only matter conjecture. How
ever this is only an incident while many
other profitable exchanges are made,
and the presence of the thrifty farmer on
the streets is beneficial to himself as
well as to the local merchants of our
town. May the good work go on.

Farmers are all quite busy now cutting
corn. The crop is fair one.
DR.. Edward Johnson who returned of
late from Northern is again living in his
country home.
The rains this week has made the land
fit for good plowing. And pastures are
also in fine condition.
Mr. Frank Zimmerman of Milford was
caller in this vicinity last Sunday.
Mr.. Zimmerman went to Clark county
last Wednesday to invest in land.
The expression of extreme abhOrrence
of the attempt upon the life of President
William Mckinley, is one Of universal
regret and sympathy. And we sincerely
trust that the hopes of recovery conveyed
by the latest dispatches may be realized.
We extend our sincere sympathy to the
first lady Of the land Mrs. William Nc
Kinley. May God grant the complete
recovery of the chief executive of this
Nation.
