The Fair.


The Mason County Fair and
Driving Association for the year
'O2, closed its program Friday, Oct.
Sd.
A good crowd was in attendance
on Thursday and Friday and every
enc seemed to enjoy themselves.
There was not the usual displays
in stock, but fairly good showing.
The Floral Hall was not filled as
usual, but the displays of Tippett's
Furniture store and The Shiflet
Music Company, were very pretty
and attractive.
The date of the fair being late as
it was, marred the usual display of
vegetation, however the good jell-
les, &c., prepared by the ladies,
were appetizing.
Some of the best races for sever
al years were witnessed and enjoy
ed by old and young.

fair, under the threatening condi-

The music furnished for the fair
was composed of musicians from

MICHIGAN CROP PROSPECTS.
Reports of Interest To the Farmers
and Commission Men.

The weather during August was
both cool and dry. Temperature in
the northern part of the State was
two degrees below the normal while
in the southern and central counties
it was from three to four degrees be-
low the normal. The precipitation
averaged more than one inch below
the normal Cool weather prevented
crops from suffering seriously on ac-
count of dry weather. These condi-
tions were favorable for securing oats
and for the caring of corn, but warm
er weather will be necessary to ripen
crops. Pasture was good so that
stock has kept in thrivinf condition
The weather during August
was favorable for the caring of corn
but not too cool for the ripening of
the crop. Frost at this time would do
much damage. Two weeks of warm
weather so that corn would ripen
would insure fair yield where the
crop was not badly damaged by water
early in the season. The condition
of corn, as compared with an average
is. in the southern counties 81, in the
central 81, in the northern II. and in
the State 66.
Potatoes were not damaged so much
as beans were by the heavy rains.
The crop can be cultivated later In
the season so that farmers have been
able to clean out their potato fields
during the dry time in August. The
cool weather in August has been fav-
orable so that the crop is in good con-
dition at the present time. Now that
the fall rains have begun potatoes are
setting nicely and the only thing that
is likely to prevent good yield is an
early frost. The probable yield of
potatoes, as compared with an aver
age is, in the southern counties "A, in
the central 66, in the northern 81 and
the State -.
The bean crop this year will, in
most cases, be far below the average.
On light soil where the rain did not
do so much damage and where it was
possible to cultivate, the yield will be
fair; but on low, fiat land many fields
have been abandoned entirely or be-
come so foul with weeds thatthe yield
will be light. The probable yield of
the bean crop, as compared with an
average is, in the ,soathern counties
sc, in the north IS and in the State 6S

THE ToWNs ROADS.
There Is No sBetter Advertisements
Than G ood Highways.

Ihere Is NO Better AuVertlsement
Than Good Highways.
The matter of improved highway
construction and maintenance can
now be said to be before the people as
never before in the history of the
country. The value of good roads to
all industries is becoming so well un-
derstood and appreciated, especially
by those who have given the subject
study, that further facts seem scarce
ly necessary. The saving on the wear
and tear of horses and vehicles, the
heavier loads that can be hauled, the
fewer number of horses required on a
good road as compared with poor
one, the economy in time to business
men, are points that appeal to every
one.
There is no better advertisement
for the country, the city or the town,
nor is there anything that helps to in
crease the popularity of section and
the value of its property more than
good roads do. The impressions of
the stranger always depend upon the
character of the roads and streets,
and if he is seeking location he will
be governed by his impressions.
Many sections of the country. es-
pecially the south, have been practi-
cally depopulated by the isolation re-
sulting from bad roads. The remedy
is clear Give the people the means
of readily reaching their neighbors,
the towns and schools, and a change
is wrought at once. Education be,
comes general and resources are de-
veloped The youth is contented to
remain at home instead of seeking
the already over crowded city.

Owing to the cold weather for the

and gave a closing performance
Monday evening.
He said the nights were so cold that
on several occasions ice formed inside
the tents, and he has concluded to
close up for the season and go into

him to go up against the weather.
He gave good entertainment Mon
