The Mercer County Fair.

Mercer county opens its Goth fair today.
Sixty-six annual events requiring united effort
by the people of an entire county speaks well
fer the community, especially in a country
comparatively so new The first one was held
back in 1854, about the time the old Chicago
G Rock Island railroad was pushing its way
west to tie Mississippi river. There must be
certain we'll defined reasons for such con-
spicuoUs aud long continued success.
In the drst place Mercer county is one Of
the best in the state for agricultural purposes.
The fact was recognized by pioneers and the
district was settled by good, strong, clean
American stock which always has heavily pre-
dominated In consequence Mercer took its
place among the leading counties in crop grow
ing, stock breeding and in other ways. It
soon had something it was proud to show and
so the county fair came into existence and
from early days has hem its place as one OF
the best in the state which means there are
none better.
Mercer long has been known as a leader
in community spirit. When there was any
thing to be done requiring common effort
it was invariably found in the front rank. Its
success IN its Liberty bond canvasses in which
it made its quota three successive times, each
in single day, and led the district and the
state is just a sample OF. what it has been
doing for years.
Mercer has done a great deal for its county
fair, as anyone seeing the exhibit this week
will readily agree, and it is equally true that
the fair has done much for the county. The
fair helped to foster local pride by promoting
desire to excel, and it has brought the peo-
pie closer together and taught them how to
work as body with maximum results and
minimum CT friction.
Here's 10 the Mercer county fair. May its
attractions never grow less:

Ninety DAYS for Townley.

However A. c. Townley. head of the Nom
Partisan league felt justified in his own mind
for the things he did and said in the early
stages of the war and despite the personal
bitterness which undoubtedly entered into his
trial, there is a common belief that he has got
about what was coming to him. Ninety days
in jail for conspiracy to teach disloyalty seems
to about fit his case. and the rest of the coun-
try will be willing TO let it go at that.
Mr.. Townley's league aims at a number of
desirable reforms and its cause is sufficiently
plausible 10 appeal to a majority OF the people

Constitution Day.

Tomorrow is the 132nd anniversary Of the
signing OF the constitution of the United States
Celebration OF the event viii take place under
the auspices of local patriotic organizations
in every part OF the country.
It IS especially fitting that the people pause
just at this time long enough to assure them
selves that there IS constitution and that it
contains safeguards to human liberty which
cannot be improved upon ofhand. Americans
for years have been getting farther and far
ther away from their government The pro-
cess was fastened bH the Introduction OF more
and more foreign blood and the steady in
crease IN the proportion Of the population
which had no part in the establishing of this
government and which. therefore, was not much
impressed with its advantages and lacked in
Centiye to inquire into It's details.
Observance of Constitution day aims at the
OBSCURE cement of destructive radicalsm
through notwithstanding the people under
stand their government and see where it fits
their needs.
1t is a most laudabIe object and it ought
TO have the encourag cement of good citizens.
