o THE. FALR. We truly hope that every man, weman and child in Noble county will make it convenient to attend the Fair, which is to commence here on Tuesday of next week (Sept. 19th) and continue four days, The exhibition of agricultural,.horticuléural and pomological produets will be creditable fo the skill and enterprise of our citigens, and will be an evidence of the fertility of our soil and its. perfect adaptation to the culture of the different cereals, as well as all kinds of vegetables and fruits, The live stock department will embrace some of the finest specimens of improved breeds of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep in the county, . In works of mechanical skill and domestic manufactures generally the display will be quite extensive, the leading manufacturers, mechanics and dealers having announced their intention of making exhibits. In the ladies’ department, our expectations are great for a grand exhibition of fancy needle weork of every description, plants, cut flowers, paintings, engravings, chromos, and numberless other articles properly belonging to the feminine part of the Fair. The ladies through‘out the county should take hold of -the matter, and get up a display cred‘itable to their taste, skill and ingenu- ! ity. That no time may be lost, we would suggest that as many of the la“dies as can possibly leave their babies long enough will meet together in their respective localities at once and mature their plans for the work expected of them. Think what an interesting Fair we would have if ev“erybody who.can (and all can if they will), would .place on exhibition at least one article of merit, the product of his or her labor, skill and ingenuity. 'Lét us all try. i

_ Couldn’t Do It. A colored man, hobbling alon g with the aid of a crutch, halted a policemau on Brush street yesterday and said: : - : “I hasn’t been in dis town long, an’ I wants some advice.” j “All right,” was the ready reply. “Now, if I’s walking along de street an’ see a fire what mus’ I do about it ?” asked the newly arrived citizen. “Why, you must shout ‘fire’!l as loud as you can to attract attention.” % Yes) : “And then -go to the nearest box and sound the alarm.” . “I see.” - gl i “The steamers will speedily respond and the fire will be put out.” “Dat seems sensible an’ all right,” mused the man, “but dere’s one more queshun.”. i “Go ahead.” B “What salary does dey pay me, an’ when does de cash begin to come in?” The officer made a further explanation, and the old man shook his head and responded. : “Couldn’t do it—eouldn’t think of it. While I was gwine frew all dose motions I could make two shillings sawing wood. Ise born into dis world on a cash basis, I is!”

A brutal prize-ight was fought at, Pennsville, N. J., recently, between two Philadelphia pulgilist,s named James Weeden and Philip Walker, alias Koster. Seventy-six = rounds were fought. The latter died before he could be taken home. Weeden and his second were arrestedin New York on the 2d, and taken to Philadelphia on the Bd. Other parties concerned in the fight had been arrested. ;

l Centennial Correspondence. Live Stoek Show—Cheap Day for the Workingmen—Department of Pubﬁc Comfort—Scraps—Attendance, Ete. . From Our Own Correspondent, T - ' PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2, 76. . The live stock show, under the au‘spices of the Department of Agriculture, was opened yesterday at Belmonmt and Girard Avenues, about 500 yards from the main building. There is an extra chargeof twerity-five cents for admission to this display, and it is well worth it. We stopped there for a little while to-day. We were inspecting the heayy draught horses exhibited by Canada, aj'nd we must say that never before'have we seen horses ‘of such strength combined withsuch beauty. In staturethey are immense. To those of your readers who are!interested in horses®we would say that if they wish to-¢ffne-on to the Exhibition, they would do well to do so at i onee, as this display closes on September the 15th. It is to be followed by 1 the cattle show. - i

To-day and September 9th the price of admission is twenty-five cents. This was brought about by the fact that on the last Satarday (Aug. 26) the number of cash admissions was 96,172. This, with the number of free admissions, made a grand total of more than 105,000 people who visited: the grounds in one day. At one tuarn-.st-ile,‘ﬁve thousands pérsons passed in in four hours. This, at the rate of 1,300 per hour, makes a steady stream of over 20 per minute for four hours. To-day, although the attendance was large, it was not nearly so great as last Saturday.. We have not yet ascertained what the number of admissions was, but would estimate them at about 80,000. : . ; 2 There is one thing which ‘we think it our duty to mention. There have been reports spread that hotels here had|all raised their rates, and that charges for everything, both inside and outside the grounds, we extortionate.; These reports are false. The prices at all the hotels are what they have been for years past, and there has been no increase in price in anything at all.i Inside the grounds the restaurants chalrgeA regular city priees for . everything. Theére is another thing that is worthy of mention.: We allude to the . Pl

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC COMFORT. As we stated in a previous letter, the building of this department is directly opposite the Main Exhibition Building. This department is a great convenience for travelers arriving just outside the grounds and entering the Exhibition at:once. Here they can get asht‘zve, bnfh, have their boots blacked, take lunch, get a cigar, buy any newspaper, write a letter, send home a telegraphic dispatch (even if they live across the ocean,) and all for the same charges as they would be compelled to pay elsewhere, ’

~ The weather here for the last week’ ‘hasibeen delightful, and consequently the attendance has been growing larger. For the week.ending- August 26, the attendance was nearly 285,000. This week the average daily attendance was. about 42,000. Now is the very ‘best time to visit the Exhibition. ‘The weather is delightful, the grounds are in splendid condition and everything is in first-class working order. The people are aware of this, and are iflocking to| the show now as fast as they possibly can. The attendance now is twice as great as it was six - weeks ago, and in a few weeks it ‘will ‘have swelled to. a much larger number. Slowly, but steadily, are the figgures rising, and we can confidently -assert what has long been a matter of doubt—the Exhibition will be a suc!cess,ﬁna.ncially, as it has been in all other respects. Eia ; September 28 has been appointed as “ Pennsylvania’s Day ” at the Exhibtion. The expectation is that 250,000 persons will be present. It'is but fitting that the State which did.the most for the Exhibition should send the largest number of visitors. Virginia follows Pennsylvania, but the date has not yet been fixed.

: Philadgelphia’s Building at . the grounds iwas dedicated on last Tuesday, and' the most disgraceful thing that has happened for some time took place then. Every man present, from the Mayor down to the lowest policeofficer, was drunk,:and all the china and glassware was broken by the drunken party. Worst of all, the tax= &)'ayers paid for their spree. With an indebtedness of $80,000,000, they apEﬂfpriated_ an amount for the Mayor 0 entertain distinguished visitors, and this is how he does it. .

: \ _ C. LITTLESTAMPS. . e g e W A man named Adams undertook to secure a situation on the Great Western road by displacing a rail, with the intention of bringing himself into note by informing the authorities in time to avert a disaster. By a miscalculation, however, a train was wrecked and the conductor killed. And now George Adams 'has secured a life situation in the penitentiary.

Ep. BANNER: If it is not an intru'sion upon your time, I will ask you to read a short letter from my . pen, and if worthy, you are at liberty to insert the same in your paper. ; | I arrived at this place last Saturday night at 12 o’clock, and have spent my time since in seeing the surrounding country. o : i - At 10 o’clock on. Sunday forenoon, 1 started, in company with my brother Jacob, across the prairie to his home. The distance, I was told, was fifteen miles. This may not seem far to the disinterested party, but when I tell you we performed this journey astride a mule, and you take in the situation and imagine yourself in our place, you cannot help but sigh .and remark; “Such-a-feat was seldom, if ever, surpassed Dby_ the celebrated Mark Twain or Sut Lovingood.”

- Time rolled on and distance was passed over, and at 2 o’clock ‘we were at home. At : !

O, for a shade tree! - LA + OnMonday morning we returned to ‘the city. ' (By we, I mean Miller - brothers, and Yoder, brother-in-law.) - While sojourning' in the city I formed the acquaintance of several’ feptlemen from \leom I ‘learned that “ Tilden, Hendricksh and Reform Yisy the watchword and| the cry. I also had a chat with a Hayes man. His | first argument was “that the people would vote for a Western man—the moral and political worth of the man not at.issue.”. -. | 'ls Hayes a Western man? .

“Next he said: *that Grant bad done so badly, he would as-soon vote for the worst as the best?” :

Thus it is. with many who have misplaced their trust in Grant. To all such we say, “Rally. to the sterling worth of Tilden, and he will make your learts glad in coming time” Missouri is also rallying. In the town of DeKalb, formerly Old Bloomington, will be held on the [7th inst., 2 mammoth barbecue, in honor of Reform. Preparations are being made to feed ten thousand people. What can Indiana do for its honored Governor ¢

Before I stop let me give encouragement to Hayes. -North of the Arkansas river, in this State, is a settlement that will go solid for the Cincinnati candidate, yet it'is sad to know that there are only five voters in that place. ‘Will this insure his election ? - Yours, foan DAVE., :

-~ Ep. BANNER: By your leave I wish to address, through the -ever welcome BANNER, the many highly respected friends which we have lately, and with feelings of deepest regret, left, perhaps never to see again.| . : We arrived at Great Bend, all well, though tired with our journey, on the night of the 2nd of this month at 12 o’clock. i e

Next morning we wended our way south-westward across the almost limitless prairie, and about 4 o’clock P on Thursday we arrived at our. present homes, tired and wayworn., At this time we are all epjoyibg good health, and our families are reasonably well satisfied with 'the count'ry. ; o . | ; i - Our expense of coming through from Ligonier to Great Bend was $20.70 Sach (2: e. grown_ perBons) for Tailroad fare, enjoying ﬁrst-class accommodations throughout the whole way. We came-by the short route of the,Alton & St. Louis railroad, via Kanshas City. Our freight carscame by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific R. R., through Atchison, and arrived at “The Bend” on Saturday night, the sth inst., carrying all oiw«;roo;ds thl;d’ safely, except two articles-of ‘crockery.

The weather has been favorable for the! growtli of corn, having®ad heavy rain and warm'sunshine. Yesterday, however, was a cool, cloudy and ,r;iiny day. causing one to think of the comforts of a warm stove, and the remarks of passing neighbors invariably were: “A cool day for August!”. ¢

Corn ‘here, ; varies very much in quality, according to thé time it was planted. Some will yield from 40 to 60 bushels per‘iacre, while sod corn, whieh’ was planted late, will go 10 bushels, or perhaps only make good fodder. Wheat, also, fell short of previous expectations, yielding cnly from 5 to 20 bushels per aere in this country. Folks here say this is-the dryest season since the county has been organized or settled, and if so we have no fears of a drouth. :

Wheat is low, worth only ' from .60 to 75 éents, oats 25, corn 50, potatoes 40 to 50, butter 15 to 20. i - 'Pilden and Hendricks are at par here.” More anon, JOEL MILLER.

- We are all well, and. in fair spirits. Kansas seems to agree 'with us all, if our appetites are'a fair indlcatio'y i‘n‘ the matter—we are all hearty eaters in the new home, . ot Barton county carries the: banner for rapid improvement, and is situated about.in the geographical centre of! the State, .and .also ot the United: States. 1t contains 1382 square miles, or 852,480 acres of land.’ Tt is divided into 87 congressional ‘townships, and. was first set¢led in'lB7li Now it contains a populatiofi £ 5,000 inhabitants.

I Churches and schools are not negs. lected in our county. . Five-churches are organized in Great Bend; and sev-. reral more may be found in .other ;pa;ts of the county. All over:ithe: ~county schools are being organized; with astonishing rapidity, and no less than 44 schools are now .in runmning ‘order ih -the county.,; Three school houses are now in construction in our: neighborhood, and one of them right at the corner of our section. i There are now published in Great: Bend three newspapers—the Great Bend Register and the Inland T'ribune —both weeklies, and Republican in politics, the former liberal and. the: latter radical. The Valley Basner is a monthly, published by J. W. Brown, aland agent. For five days past the | regular old Kansas grasshoppers_have. | been flymng: over us. -On Thursday last the air was filled with rnilgiops'dfi them, but each day sinoe.,,ﬁhgy«b«we decreased in number, and to-day but very few could be seen. ; Their course was 'southward, and a strong'.north wind drove them: before it yery. rapidly, and very few: of; them: honored;us | with a call, but kept on their course,} to our great satisfaction, and we fear no harm from them.
