THE AUDUBON
COUNTY FAIR
BEGINNING SEPTEMBER FOURTH.
The Twenty Annual Fair OF
the Audubon County Agric ultural
Society will be Held the First
Week in September.

The seasons come and go. The
sowing, the reaping, the marketing
each have their time. So has the
county fair. The time for il is almost
here. Four weeks from today IL will
be in progress. Whatever is done
must be done without delay. 10
keep up a fair every year for twenty
seven years takes much faith and q
great deal of work. No one knows
how much except those who have il to
do. Besides faith and work, il takes
lot OF money to pay the bills. To
get this money there must be good
attendance. 70 secure large attend
ance there must be good exhibits and
pleasing entertainments, What the
officers need and must have to secure u
successful fair is help from the people.
The merchants and the farmers, the
dealers in machinery and the breed
ers of fine stock must all unite in or
der to make fine exhibit. Bring in
the best you have OF your corn and
your cattle, your potatoes and pump
kins, your hogs and your horses,
your pigs and your poultry, your
sheep and your stations, your geese
and your goats, your fruits and our
fabrics, and so on to the end of the
string. The officials will do every
thing they can to have good fair,
but they must have the support of the
people of the county To insure sue
cess. The time for the fair is the
first week in September including the
4th, 9Th, 9th and 7th.

PROPER TIME TO YELL.

We recall an incident of the Blaine
campaign which impressed us very
strongly at the time and the advice
still holds good. On the night after
the election when some returns came
in that we're favorableto the democrats
a republican said "Why don't you
yell boys, yell while you have a
chance" So we say to the Cummins
men, "Yell while you have chance. y
Some young fellows without exper-
fence probably think that because
their side has won out in this contest,
they have a warranty deed to the
party and all its honors and emolu-
ments for generation to come. But
men who have been through number
of political battles know that the ups
and downs of politics are very uncer-
tain. Like the waves of the sea, the
men who are riding on a wave oil
triumph today may be in the trough
of defeat tomorrow. Always yell
when you have chance.

THANKS TO STATE COMMITTEE

When the state central committee
took up the contests down at Des
Moines last week and expressed q
determination to hear them and make
up temporary roll for the conyen-
ton, there went up howl that was
long and loud against such usurpa-
tion of authority, as it was called by
those who thought it would result in
their defeat, In doing SO the state
committee followed the action of the
national committee in similar cases.
We refer to this matter to say that
had it not been for this action there
would undoubtedly have been two con-
yentions and two tickets, which would
have brought certain defeat to the
head of both tickets. So the fact is
that from all republicans who prefer
one ticket to two, with comparative
harmony in the party and certain sue
ces for all the nominees, the state
committee should receive a vote OF
thanks.

ALL SHOULD UNITE.

The next day after theconvention at
Des Miones, we heard good citizen
say, "Well, if Cummins hadn't been
nominated | would have had to vote
the Democrat ticket this fall" We
retorted by saying "Now suppose all
the Perkins men would say that be-
cause Perkins hadn't been nominated
they would have to vote the democrat
ticket, where would Cummins
be the night after the election? He
saw the force of the remark at once
and made no answer. Some men talk
too much without sufficient thought.
Now that the battle has been fought
out and the nominations made all
good republicans should unite in the
election OF the entire ticket, and not
talk about going over to help the
enemy.

JUDGE TOWNER'S ADDRESS.

The address given by Judge Towner
as temporary chairman before the re.
publican state convention is classic
in thought and style, republican in
every line, a state paper worthy OF
study and preservation, and an ex.
ceptionally strong presentation of the
policy and principles of the party.
He is in full sympathy with the doe
trine that it is wise to prove all
things and stand pat for that which is
good" Judge Towner is one of the
men in public life who will sooner or
later receive merited promotion.

A Cheerful View of Life.

When we attended the editorial
meeting at Council Bluffs last fall we
had the pleasure of hearing and meet
ing Judge Harris of the Missouri Val.
ley Times who notwithstanding his
age goes to the Office regularly and
sets up one galley day. On the 2lst
of July he passed another birthday
and commented as follows, taking a
most cheerful view of life: Eighty
five years is long time, and yet we
feel that we have just begun to live:
the world to us seems just as bright as
when we first knew it; the friends just
as dear, and life just as sweet and
when we hear people talk of being old
we think they are talking of that other
fellow

RESOLUTIONS.

The democrats of Audubon county, in con-
yention asse III bled, hereby re affirm our al
legiance TO the well known principles OF the
democratic party, and having faith in the
integrity of the delegates selected and TO be
selected to attend the state convention to be
held at Waterloo, on August 9TH, we defer
TO that convention with the hope and belief
that the candidates there selected Will be
men of honor and worthy OF the ofiices TO be
filed
We believe that the ONCE OF county super
intendent should be non-political and that
the incumbent of that once should be free
TO exercise a SOUND discretion in the per-
Torrance of the duties devolvinR upon a
county superintendent; unhampered and
unbiased by political prejudice, or the within
of any political party. And In view OF the
fact that the repu blican party OF this county
a. its recent primary, has seen Ut TO place In
nomination, a candidate for that once in
every way fully qualified for the ONCE; a
candidate who has never voted the republi-
can ticket and will not this fall; a candidate
whose candidacy is In fact non partisan,
We therefore, hereby, endorse the candi-
dacy of Fla M Stearns, of Leroy township,
for the ONCE OF county superintendent.

THE coTTAG FER.

There are, in all most every locality, illustrations ill plenty of the of repeated statement that there is rapidly increas- ing tendency amoifg the residents of the cities to get out into the country and commune with nature. At the present time there is hardly a lake which is at all accessible but has a number of more or less elaborate cottages along its banks, and the demand for building sites is increasing with each succeeding year Many a farmer has found his lake, bordering land more profitable than the balance of his farm. And the ordi- nary farmer is not slow to take advan- tage of the opportunity to realize a hand some profit from such land. This fact will be vouched for by anyone who has had occasion to rent cottage site.
 But who will say that cottage life is not the ideal way in which to spend a summer vacation? It is the sort that rests, irefreshes and really benefits the busy man or woman who leads the active and strenuous life during the balance of the year.
 The season which has just closed at Twin Lakes proved the fact that lake, side vacations are increasing in popular ity. The summer coloney there was larger than ever before and it will be still larger next year. A few years ago there were a few cottages on the shores of the larger lake. Gradually they have increased in number until the most de- sirable locations are occupied and campers are turning their attention to the shores of the smaller lake. A few cottages are already located there and others are about to be erected. Just where it will all end and what Twin Lakes as resort will be ten years hence is difficult to prophecy.
 Let the influx continue however. This summer colony patronizes the Canaan business men, it purchases the farmers produce, it's good thing all round.

w E " FED IT.

There has probably been no doubt in the mind of anyone since the beginning of the trolley talk, six months or more ago, that eventually the Berkshire Street Railway lines would be extended from Great Burlington to Canaan. It now be- begins to appear that the project will develop beyond the embryonic stage, in fact president Mellen of the N Y, N. H. 6 H. R. R. has said that work on the extension will be commenced next spring unless the legislatures enact laws that will prevent such construction and this he considers hardly probable.
 THE NEWS has thus far said little re- lative to the trolley project except to chronicle the facts as they developed. To be absolutely candid, we were un- decided as to whether such an extension surrounding territory. We have re- gently investigated the matter from various standpoints, have felt the public pulse relative to the matter and believe, taking conditions, all in all, as they exist here and hereabouts, that the electric road will be of benefit, in fact we believe 1t is necessary to the proper and fullest developement of the section which in- cludes the town of North Canaan, Ashley Falls, Sheffield, Clayton, Southfield, Mill River, etc. In Canaan the question of bringing local merchants into compe-

If Charles F. Thayer, democratic can- didate for governor of Connecticut has said exactly what he means in his letter of acceptance, relative to the automobile and country roads, it will cost him many votes in the rural communities. From his reference to the subject, we infer that he favors allowing the auto mobile to do transportation business in competition with the railroads. The farmer and villager will rise up in their might and oppose at the polls, any man who advocates revolutionary measnre of this sort.

tition with the stores of Pittsfel and other larger places seems to cause not the slightest uneasiness for the reason that Canaan business places ara so thoroughly stocked and equipped as not to fear outside competition. There seems not to be the slightest question among tLe merchants that the road would bring more business to Canaan than it would take away.
 And when viewed from the stand points of the traveller, the farmer and looking to the general prosperity of the section, the conclusion is in favor of the road. The standpoints above mentioned will be discussed in subsequent issues of THE NEWS.
