Some splendid purses are hung up
on this circuit, and there can be no
donbt that the racing this year will
be much better than ever before.
1t is an extremely strong circuit.
There is a prospect of getting sew
eral late fairs into the circuit.
FRAZIER FOR ASSEMBLY.
There is considerable pressure be-
ing brought to bear upon A. j.
Frazier Of this place to come out for
the assembly. Mr.. Frazier, be it
remembered, was close to the nomi-
nation two years ago, and at that
time he had many assurances of
help this year. There are many in
West Grant who think this end of
the district is entitled to repre-
sentative in the legislature once IN
a while. Mr.. Frazier is an intelli-
gent and valuable public servant.
He is the president Of the village
ana one of the most respected mem
bers of the county board.
SURVEYING THE TOWN.
County Surveyor ApplebY, of Bos-
cobel, is in the city, doing a lot of
surveying for our people. Old line
fences are found to be intruding
in the street or else back several
feet from the line. Many polite
neighbor differences over the exact
location of lines have been settled
without resort to the code Of honor
PROHIBITION SPEECH.
August F. Fehlandt, Prohibition
candidate for acknowledgements,
made a speech in the school park
Sunday afternoon, and another in
the Baptist church in the evening.
The male quartette accompaniment
was much enjoyed by the large
audiences.
OBSERVATIONS.
Sam. Ketner: The prevailing
winds during the several days in
which the sun crosses the line will
be the prevailing winds for the fol-
lowing three months, or until the
next crossing. Consequently we
will have cool summer, same as
spring, and possibly poor corn
crop.
Pat. Smith: A female wolf, with
five or six cubs, has been seen about
my neighborhood in Little Grant.
Several of the cubs have been killed,
and the ne1ghbors are hot on the
trail of the old one.
Ed WEIGH: Crops on Blakes
Prairie look fine. The cool spring
has held the small grains back from
premature growth, and corn is fair
ly we'll advanced, cool weather con-
sidered. I think our prospects for
crops are very good.
