We have a premium list of the Ne.
b:aska State Fair, which is to be.held
August Goth to September 5th. This
county should make an exhibit of its
products not only collectively but in.
dividually. We believe that this
county produces not only as good or
better cattle, hogs and horses as any
county in the state but raises grain Of all
kinis as good as there is to be found

history. Going across it, ever in a
first class buggy, puts a man in mind
OF his ~babyhood days when he was lying
in a cradle and someone was '~'jiggling"
him up and down. And while we are
on this subject of roads, we would sug.
gest that they devise some way to fix
the road from the bridge one.fOurth or
