THE LITTLE MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The caption of this article is theme
taken by an exchange to depict the
man who is eternally pulling back,
and kicking against every enterprise
and the town generally. It says:
Did you ever see him? Yes to
know him one needs no introduction.
He is the fellow that will mot turn
loose dollar unless he sees two in
its place, he is the fellow that you
meet and have to contend with when
you make move in the way of pro-
gress, in any shape he is the fellow
that cries failure, ere the enterprise
is begun, but if he happens to have a
lot OF any kind of property where
improvements are contemplated will
hold on to it like grim death and put
such price on what he has that
would stagger Digger Indian, and
yet claims that he is progressive and
wants the town to improve. Yes he
wants it to improve if it will increase
his values but is not willing to con-
tribute one cent to help. Like the
fellow up in the amen corner who
hollows 'amen,'' every time some
one drops a quarter IN the missionary
box, but when it reaches him he drops
in penny and grunts. The com
munity cou Id get along without him.
He is no good.

BROOKFIELD DOES HONOR TO
HERSELF AND LINN
COUNTY.
AS Predicted by Every One the Fair
at Brookfield Was Success.

At the county's metropolis, the an
nual fair under the auspices Of the
Merchants Association of Brooktield,
opened on Tuesday morning and closed
Friday evening, with the record of
having been the most successful fair
ever held in Linn county. The floral
hall exhibits were fine, the agricul-
tural displays and the many other at
fractions were first class in every
particular.
The first day opened favorably and
the entries were completed and all
put in readiness for the big days to
follow. Rain interfered with the
second days program, however, but it
subdued. the dust and added to the
perfection to the remaining two
days. Thursday saw the assembling
OF crowd of eight thousand people
and program that elected words of
praise upon every hand. The entire
management, from president to gate
keeper, were subjects of congratula-
tions, as were also the public spirited
citizens of Brookfeld who took the
initiative and made possible this en-
terprise which we'll reflected the in
dustry and resources of Linn county in
this ideal season. Whensthe program
OF the day was put in course of pro-
gress the fair grounds presented a
scene Of unbroken activity. The
great mass of humanity upon the
grounds swayed to and fro, eager to
see all the exhibitions as they were
announced from place to place. In
the races appeared some of the most
noted animals of the turf known in
the west. The agricultural exhibits
were first class in every particular.
The floral hall was dream of beauty,
where lovers of art and of nature
loved to linger. The Brookield Fire
company's exhibition on the grounds
was superb The horses are we'll
trained. The Cameron drill band
maintained its reputation for being
the banner band of the west. The
daily balloon races and parachute
leaps by two charming young ladies
from Cora, Mo-, proved them masters
OF the aerial art. A pretty feature of
fridays program was the school
children's parade at the grounds. A
procession of the entire schools of
Brookfield, with their colors, headed

happened that before Ions these erstwhile
friends and comrades were bitterest enc

blind god play his mad pranks. FINAL,
the barely suppressed enmity found vent
in a quarrel professedly about politics,
jr reality brought about by jealousy. Bob.
with all the impetuosity OF his hot JEFF
frey blood. challenged good old Dick.
Many Of their friends tried to patch UP
the quarrel, but with no success. Bob
was so openly insulting that Dick was
compelled to fight, or else be branded a
coward. Sam, Bob's body servant, found
out about the affair. and without saying
a word to mother or father. he went di-

sent for both the boys. They with equal
alacrity' obeyed the summons arriving al
most simultaneously at Judge Sewelrs
door. How Bess brought about the re-
conciliation was never revealed, but about
half an hour after their entrance into the
house. Bob and Dick were seen to come
out arm in arm and nothing more was
heard Of the duel. Bob gave me the sword
