A MEETING is to be held at
Ashland on Friday of this week.
to which business men and
others of Bayfield, and Ashland
counties have been invited, the
purpose of which is the forma-
ton of a bi-county fair sssocl-
alton for the two counties. For
some years the impression has
been growing that these two
counties should form an agri-
cultural society and have one
fair or place where the products
of the two counties can be eX-
hibited to greater advantage.
In former years both counties
have been holding separate
county fairs, and while each
has done a large amount OF
good, yet they have been expen.
sive to the taxpayers OF both
counties, The sentiment seems
to be that if the two counties
should combine in holding one
fair it could be made bigger and
better and do more good than
the two separate fairs.
Bayfield, county people favor
the idea as to holding a joint fair
and would join with our Ashland
county brethren providing a
suitable site for the fair can be
agreed upon. In this matter
Bayfield, county people are will
ing to meet the Ashland county
people half way by establishing
the fair grounds at Ashland
Junction near the site OF the ex-
detrimental farm. But the peo-
pie of Bayfield, county will never
consent to having the fair with
in the limits of the city of Ash
land.
By establishing the fair at
Ashland Junction it will be
handy for people from the both
counties and the people from
Bayfield, county will go to Ash
land on Friday favoring this
idea.

MiIIet Thought Him Almost a Reincar-
nation Of Napoleon.
A few days before he sailed for Eu-
rope on the trip which ended with
his death on the Titanic, Frank d.
Millet said TO friend In hts studio:
"Skobelev! How we'll remember
him! We used 10 call him the Mad
cap. That was when he swan the
Danube against osiers. dashed into
Plevna without re-enforcements and
committed other little fndiscretions
of that sort which only mailman or
a genius would attempt
Later / came to recognize him as
almost a reincarnation of Napoleon.
His ambition was literally about the
same as Napoleon's. He wanted Rus
STA to conquer the world. l stood with
him once on the heights above Con-
stantinople--it was in March. 1878, just
before the treaty of San Stefano-
when he outlined to me his schemes.
which began with the absorption of
the Ottoman empire, then extended to
a conquest of India and concluded
with piratical designs on England in
Europe.

Doubles of Famous Men.

Tennyson. who resembled Dickens,
had, despite disparity Of years, an al
most perfect double" In Sir Leslie
Stephen. Perhaps it is similarity of
occupation or interests that breeds re-
semblance, for Professor Schrader was
so like Huxley that even their intimate
friend Grant Duff mistook one for the
other, and Sir Laurence Alma-Tade-
ma was scarcely distinguishable from
his brother artist, Du Maurier. The
theory, however, hardly accounts for
the ludicrous resemblance Of Edmund
Yates and the late shah Of Persia

years or more Washburn has been

period taxes have been getting high

MAYOR PEAVEY

MAYOR PEAVEY and the
mem bers of the city council
have shown the right spirit In
their attempt to practice eco
nomy by making cuts where
ever it was possible and the
movement which they have
started should be followed by
all branches of the city govern
ment. The taxpayers, generally
will favor the move to economic.
The practice of economy in
the right manner has never re-
tarded the growth of any city,
and people looking for business
locations are always more than
pleased with places where this
feeling prevails.

TRY TO BE CHEERFUL.

CheerfuIness, like other good
qualities, can be developed and in
creased, and whoever omits its cul-
ture neglects an important duty to
himself and to society. The fact
that few men can do their best work
or think their best thoughts unless
cheerful spirit animates them should
be sufficient reason for setting in
motion every cause which produces
such spirit.

PLENTY OF COMPANY


There was an old Scottish pagan
in a small village who could be by
no means persuaded to attend
church. One day the minister met
him and began:
How is it, John, you are so per-
sistent in your absence from
church,"
''Weel," replied John, cts just like
this-the sermons are over lang for
me-"
John! Johnm wrathfully cried the
minister, you'll dee and you'll go to
a place where you'll hear no sermon,
long or short"
"Ah, weel, maybe that will be-" re-
piled the phlegmatic John; ''but I'm
sure it'll no be for want of meenis-
ters."
