The fair attendance this year is expected to be larger than that of any previous year.

They might possibly invest' in land there.

He will visit, among other localities, the Yellowstone Valley and the Smith River Valley and will probably go as far west as Missoula. He will not invest in land there this year, but if conditions are favorable, he may move there, and if still satisfied with the country, he will dispose of his land in Jasper county and buy Montana land. Miss Elizabeth Spaulding, manager of the Western Union telegraph office, returned yesterday from a two weeks’ vacation, most of which time was spent in Indianapolis and Greencastle.
