The Morgan's Grove Fair.

The Morgan's Grove fair began on
Tuesday under clouded skies. A very
heavy rain on Monday put damper on
those who were busy at the grounds
preparing for the exhibition, but there
was nothing to do but keep right on,
even if they were half drowned. Early
Tuesday morning there was more rain,
but about 7 O'Clock the showers ceased.
1t remained cloudy all day Tuesday, and
a good many persons were kept from
bringing in exhibits.
The usual number Of tent-holderS are
on the grounds this year, and this feature
of the fair is extremely pleasant. ViSi-
tors are most eniSyably entertained by
their friends, and the picnic style is
agreeable TO everybody. Indeed the
pleasing social side of the fair is that
which is enjoyed more than anything
else, both by our home folks and by Wis
itors.
There are more fakirS than usual at
the tair this year. The management will
not allow gambling schemes on the
ground, so mild games of chance are
used to separate the visitors from their
loose change. All sorts of stands for
eatables and soft drinks are busy.
Excellent music is being furnished on
the grounds by the Rohrersville Bard,
]. F. Chopper, leader. There are "a men,
bers of the band, and they make sweet
harmony. This band has been playing
here for number of years and Is very
popular with the people.
The several departments OF the fair are
well filled, there being much beautiful
needlework in the ladies' department.
In the agricultural department there are
tine specimens OF fruit, vegetables and
farm products.
The horse snow is one OF the most
attractive features OF the fair, and the
various classes are we'll represented,
most OF the horses being from Clarke
county.
The Register will print the list OF pre-
miums next week.

Tradino on inflated Prices.
To my mind the most discouraging
feature connected with the real es-

position to encourage trading between
holders on basis OF inflated prices.
This liz certain to react hurtfully.
Holders who are not familiar with
the transactions, and who want to or
are willing TO sell. get their idea of
values from these trades and fix prices
on their holdings away above the real
market value. To illustrate: we had
placed with us certain property at

say my trading price Is not a cent
