We greatly deplore the great loss our county seat has sustained in the big fire recently, but wo feel that there is plenty of money lying idle there that will come to the rescue and that with the push and determination that has characterized the citizens' previous effortin behalf of the city's enterprises, the wire and nail miU will be immediate! rebuilt, and in time more factories of which it takes many to make a succe? ful city.

FARMERS' INSTITUTE.

The farmers' institute which convened here Monday and Tuesday, No?, lia aud 26, was peruaps the most successful affair of the kind ever enjoyed by the the community. The sessions were held in the town hall which contained ample seating capacity for all who attended. There were several visitors from a distance and the prosperous country people for miles around were present and freely engaged in the general discussion which followed the presentation of each new subject. Th town people also contributed to the programme, which was interspersed with music by the orchestra. Tnis Institute was a banner one, being what the farmers termed a state affair. Two speakers H. F. McMahan, from Franklin county, and D. 13. Johnson, from Morgan county, employed by the state in the interests of agriculture, were present. Their supply of knowledge and information upon all subjects pertaining to the farming industry seem«d inexhaustable and at each session either one or both of these instructors led out with valuable experience which our farmer friends will not fail to profit by. Speakers from Ladoga and vicinity were,Goshorn a-:d Keim, Ben Carman, Mrs. E. G. Wilson, Mrs. Lida Sidener, W. L-. Anderson and Chas Minnich, and last but not least was the Hon. Champ Clark, state representative of Missouri, who had just arrived for his lecture at night, was introduced bv R^v. W. T. Br vi His soeech though not long was thoroughly enjoyed by every listener, especially the farmers, whom he congratulated upon the fact that t,h»y were permitted to be as such, and reiterated the statement that he started out in life as a hired farm hand. Special mention should be made also of Mr. Chas. Minnich's sneech, who took for his subject, "How May a Younsr Man Start, in Farming Without Capital?" Mr. Minnich has proven from actual experience that this can be done, having started out in life with nothing but courage and a grim determination to succeed, he has actually (if we may be permitted to use the term) dug his wav to succepp. many friends can vouch for this statement.
