Following the example Of other pa
pers In the state the Courier will print
notices Of shows to be given here at,
different times as advertisements fur
nished BY the advance agents. We
shall recommend only those shows that
we know personally are all right. The
public is being gulled altogether too
much by bum outfits who come here
and charge way up prices for poor
shows. We are willing to give credit
to companies who deserve it, the bal
ance will get what they deserve by way
Of newspaper write-up.

In letter received by Lieut. Gov.
BARTLETT from Frederick w. Taylor,
chief Of the department. Of agriculture,
he says that each foot Of space upon
which to put an exhibit costs the ex-
position on an average five dollars in
cash. Each foot of space in the de-

piled for twice over up to date. N. d.

lotted is none too much for good dis
play. Mr.. Bartlett will try and hold
on to the space granted II there is any
possible show to do SO.

particular damage is reported. The
worst part Of the storm seemed to
travel between Shepard and Hanna
ford from west to southeast for several
miles. In the Michaeli's district some
damage was done to what grain was
left standing. while down at Freer's
and some of his neighbors what crop
was left standing was completely
knocked out. OF course a good deal
