Pleased Over Stock Law.

y former Muhlenberg farmer who
moved some years ago TO the West
has written a letter To- one of his old
friends, and the whole of the epistle,
almost, is in comment over our
adoption of the stock law i'll one
district. He praises this strong in.
dication of progress and economy,
and declares that it is one of the
best indications for MuhlcnbcTg that
could have been made. He declares
that he would have refused to vote
for it, and even gone out and fought
it, but that since he has lived under
our new plan there is nothing that
would cause him to 20 back to 1t,
and that he would not live i'll a
country where stock is allowed to
run at large, as it costs more to
keep up farm, and even. with the
best fences, that cattle and stock at
large are dangerous. We believe
our people will come to this way of
thinking when they behold the work
ings of the new law, the improved
appearance of farms when fences are
removed.

Among the e,e00 Attendants.
NEXT YEAR WILL BE MUCH LARGER

Muhlenberg had its first School
Fair and Corn Show here last Fri
day. 1t was great beginning, but
small in comparison with such
events that are sure to follow, for
already plans are being perfected to
make it annual event. School child
rem from every section of the county,
accompanied by teachers and par
ents, were here. There was con-
siderable skill displayed IN the deco
ra,ions of the wagons, and many
of the school children were dressed
in uniform. By Q O'Clock the
streets were lined with vehicles, and
it was question where to put
the people. Mobilization was at the
depot, and about II 50 the children
marched up town. There were
,7SS children in line, and their ap-
pcarance and conduct were inspir
ing and impressive.
All available space in the court
house was utilized for the display
of specimens done by the children,
and there were about I,2oo items
exhibited, embracing manual train
ing, domestic science, painting,
drawing, needle work, invention,
etc. All the displays were highly
creditable, and some of them aston
IShlng. Prof. MclIcnry Rhoadcs,
who. has visited many such Fairs
over the State, declares that tins
was the best that he had seen, and
that the attendance was largest. \
conservative estimate is that there
were 6,ooo people in town, one OF
the largest crowds IN many years.
Several hundred dollars in prem
iums were distributed among the
contestants in the School Fair, and
the smaller prizes for the best corn,
but the larger prizes offered for the
greatest yield of corn cannot be
made until the gathering is complet-
ed, and the reports turned IN.
1t was almost IN possible 10 get IN
or near the court house, SO vast was
the crowd that was anxious to view
the displays. Every effort was
made to assist the movement of the
people, but congcstions were con
tinually occurring. Everyone was
happy and good-natured though,
and took the pulling and hauling
with smiles. We consider this the
most important enterprise that We
have ever entertained, and next year
viii be in better shape for it, and
add to the comfort and refreshment
of all who attend.
