mary department, who brought up the
rear. Superintendent Randall and his
efficient corps of assistant instructors
were here, there and everywhere, Civ

The stars and stripes as we'll as ap-
propriate banners were very conspicu-
Gus. Each section was in charge of
captain and lieutenants and several
drummer boys furnished music for
keeping step. The long line of boys
and girls caused all citizens to stop,
gaze and wonder, for no one had the
slightest idea that there were so many
children in this community and they
were bright intelligent looking set
up worcestershire hope of the land
and the future citizens of this great
commonwealth. At the fair grounds
sion they had grand, good time and
they added much to the success of the
day by their presence.
Charleston merchants report that they
are having splendid trade during
fair-better than they have ever had
before. They are loathe to close up
their places of business during the af-
fernOOrfS Of Wednesday, T,burcdox, oo1
Friday from one to five o'clock because
they know that many people from the
outlying districts will probably want
to be doing some trading. But these
business men of Charleston are also
quite loyal to the lewiston Charleston
fair and they are willing to do anything
within their power to make it grand
order to permit their employees to join
the throngs at the fair grounds.
Barney j. Olson and wife are back
at their old home, Leland, La Sale
county, Illinois, enjoying a visit with
relatives and friends. They report fine
wesNher and that they are having a
splendid time. They expect to return
to this city in September.

houses ON south Fifth street.

newing old acquaintance.

| Vol cI r.
Doneen. Doc Wade and e. L. Scott.
w. D. Hunton, prominent citizen
| of Colfax and wife, are the guests of
their son. c. w. Hunton. and family.
Mr.. Hunton is a leading republican and
thinks quite seriously of coming to
make Charleston his home in the very
| near future.
Ben. Wilson and wife are here from
Guy. Whitman county, Washington. to
enjoy the fair.
Green Smith is here from Colfax,
with new disc harrow which is call
! ing forth much favorable comment.
The old stayle machine has two sets of
rollers. not working in unison. while
Mr.. Smiths new device does away with
| much OF the trouble and annoyance to
which the farmer cultivating side hills
| has been subjected. His machine throws
the dirt all in one direction and also
down hill at the same time. 1T can
very easily be reversed and there As an
arrangement by which the depth of
cultivation can be controlled. easily.
Mr.. Smith has patented his invention
and he is now seeking a suetable loca-
ton and some inducement for the
starting of a factory. He thinks
Charleston is the ideal spot, both as to
power. water and site. as well as a
supply point for all this northwest ter
pitory. Cal. McCracken and others who
have seen the new disc harrow work
say 1t is absolutely perfect and that to
see 1t work means that the farmer will
want it. Already Mr.. Smith has re-
ceived some orders for the machine,
coming unsolicited and even before he
has arranged to have them manufac-
tured. His friends think he will make
a fortune with this new machine. !,
