Good luck to you, boys. —Mrs. M. E. Fleming left for Fort Wayne on Tuesday, to-take a course in the Conservatory of Music.

—George 'W. Roaf, late of the Kendallville Record of the T'imes, has secured a position as typo in the Chicago Z'ribune office. He will find this much more remunerative than his former

enterprise. g L . —The officers of the Noble County Agricultural Association are deter‘mined to make the coming Fair a success. Every farmer in the county should lend his aid in this matter by bringing in something for exhibition. - —Royalty, the sprinkler, tells us his receipts this season have averaged only about nine dollars per week. This is too little, fellow citizens. Open your hearts and leosen your purse-strings, 80 as to make his earnings at least a trifle better before he suspends operations. Live and let live, gentlemen. . —lf the prediction of the wiseacres prove true, September will afford warmer weather, and more of it than August. Thus far the prediction has proved what old Bill Allen would call a “d—d barren ideality.” DBut there is no telling what the near future may bring forth. : 3 ‘

’ —The Rochester Sentinel suggests that some of the cruel teamsters who frequently beat their horses so unmercifnlly, jand not a few farmers who are ing‘?he habit of hitching their horses ‘where the sun and flies can attack them, should be arrested for cruelty to animals. LR . —ltisn’t often that we pay any attention- to fashion notes, but as THE "BANNER has a great many friends .among \the fair sex we give space to ‘ the announcement that fashionable ladies in Paris have begun to wear dresses that permit the feet to be seen, and there are rumors that the day of long trails is over. = . . :

—Mr. John E. Pancake tells us that the Marshal of LaGrange recently declared that it was very questionable whether a farmer had a right to sell a load of potatoes on the streets of LaGrange without first obtaining a corporation license. If such he the case, why not charge a license for selling a load of corn or wheat? One wouldbe about as fair as the other. |

- —The American Agriculturist for September is as usual replete with useful and practical information, -It offers the work for 15:months, beginning'with the September number, for its stipulated yearly subscription $1.50 or two copies for $3.00 or three copies for $4.20. This is next to giving it ‘away. If a‘man takes it one year, he’ll take it right along, for it is a cyclopedia to the farmer. & - »—Cunningham Voorhees says he has a sure cure for hog disease, and offers $5 for every case which he cannot cure. It is as follows: For one dozen hogs, 2 ounces of antimony, quarter pound cayenne pepper. Throw hog on the back and pour preparation into mouth with a spoon. He says he has tried this remedy in a number of cases and has not failed to effect a cure in a solitary instance. . :

—There will be a grand excursion to Chicago from Albion and intervening points, on Thursday, September 20th, given for the benefit of the M.

This, the Syracuse Gazette says, is considerable Tess than half fare and is an opportunity which our farmer friends should take advantage of to, see the city of Chicago, as well as the great exposition. ..o g G

- —Things do begin to look bright. Cheering reports come from the East and the West, the North and the South. - From Evansville, this State, some one writes: “The business pros‘pect is encouraging. More improve‘ments are being made than at any time gince the panic of 1873. The heaviest ‘manufacturing firm in the ~clty is running night and day, and “have enough orders to keep their en‘tire force engaged for a full year.— The woolen mills are unusually active, running till late at might with a full force of operatives.,” , —Says a contemporary: The turning ‘point in the long lane of hard times is certainly near at hand. The darkest hour will soon pass away and sunshine will break in upon a distressed people, This is the time for business men to sustain each other and extend all possible leniency by discarding rigid business rules and sharp turns, Commercial relations are bad -enough as. they are, and it is now in ‘order for a general spirit of indulgence to prevail. | If your neighbor can’t MW“’“% | hm‘“ﬂm hore: .o b

Wayne next week. It promises to be a grand affair. The number of entries are already very large. Governor Williams speaks on Thursday. Go and hear “Blue Jeans.” He knows something about farming. T | —Special attention is directed to the fact that the trotting race for threeyear olds, owned in Noble county, will come off on the first day of the Fair. Four entries have already been made. Come, boys, and let this be made an interesting, exciting race. : —lt is estimated by some that the crop of cloverseed in Noble county will yield our farmers nearly as large an income as the wheat crop. If this estimate should prove to be approximately correct, hard times must surely take wings at no distant day.

—The September number of “Wide Awake,” an illustrated and spicy magazine, for young people, is on our table. It is filled with sprightly, interesting and humorous articles, well calculated to please the young. It is published by D. Lothrop & Co., Boston, at $2 a year. , —The Marshal of the town of LaGrange recently compelled John E. Pancake, of Elkhart twp., this county, to pay one' dollar for the privilege of selling water melons upon the streets of said town!

—Charley Inks is doing an extensive lbusiness in the lineof selling monu‘ments. During the past few days he erected several monuments in De'Kalb county. It is ne uncommon ‘thing for him to receive orders from ‘& distance of seventy of eighty miles, ‘Charley is a square dealer and a capita.l—gdoq fellow besides; hence his sucons o Y g

—The Rochester 'Sentiﬁel , remarks with entire truthfulness that “nature is certainly favoring the people of this county and doing all that could be expected to help them out of their financial troubles. Refreshing rains visit us frequently and at the proper time, keeping vegetation in & flourishing condition. The harvests of grain are abundant und well secured. The European war bids fair to be prolonged, which will create a foreign demand for breadstuff, that this:country must supply.” ;

«—The value of Clydesdale colts is on -the ascending scale. On Friday last William Morrow, of Perry township, sold to Gideon Harper a Clydesdale colt, “Mollie Scotland,” for the snug sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, cash down. ‘“Mollie” is a handsome chunk of horseflesh, weighing at the age of five months and sixdays gix hundred and sixty (660) pounds! We are told that no pains were taken. by Mr. Morrow to “push” this colt; ‘that it ran at large in the woods until after harvest, when it was put into tame pasture, but received no grain. One hundred and fifty dollars for a five-months old colt is a nice little sum of money, but Clydesdale stock is of value. An advance of fifty dollars wouldn’t tempt Mr. Harper to part with “Mollie.” i

—We appeal to the farmers of the entire county to spend at least one day at the forth-coming Fair near this place. They ought to come from every township, not so much on occount of any prospective pecuniary gain as with a view to comparing notes with the farmers of this immediate vicinity. We claim for the latter a good deal of enterprise and public spirit, as evidenced by their thrift, their fine crops; their superior stock, &e.; &ec.— Tue BANNER is desirous of seeing the whole county prosper, and therefore earnestly recommends a reunion of the farmers from all the townships ‘at our .next Fair. Come, gentlemen, and become' acquainted with one another. It will do you good in a social point of view, and may in the future prove beneficial in other respects. . —(Capt. Braden has a grape vine of the Hartford Prolific variety which surpasses anything in that line we ever heheld. The vine is forty feet in length, passing from about the middle of the south-end of the house around the corner and thence 28 feet to the north, immediately over the windows and door. It is literally laden with grapes all along the line, although the Captain apologetically observes that “this is no grape year, you know.”’— There are probably four or five bushels of sound grapes on this single vine, certainly an immense yield. The Capt. thinks some of erecting an arbor and leading the vine in an easterly direction. We have an anxiety to see what length this prolific growth will attain if permitted to pursue Its course without let or hindrance. A Concord vine on the Captain’s premises is also mak-. ing ‘rapid headway, and bids fair to equal the Hartford in length and productiveness. Capt.

' Some of the farmers in East Sparta have threshed their wheat, and as a result their granaries are well filled. The editor requested that some person should send in a report of the cropsin Sparta. 'We have heretofore stated that we believed Sparta could produce. as good a record for the production of cereals as any township in the county, -and we are of the same opinion yet; albeit a statement of our present wheat crop will not compare very favorably with the statement that has been sent in from the Hawpatch. The wheat in Sparta as near as we can learn has yielded from 18 to 80 bush‘els per acre. - Wm. Hitler has threshed a portion of his wheat; it yielded about 30 bushels per acre. His wheat last year yielded an average of 28 ‘bushels per acre. J.B. Noe threshed one field that made something over 30 bushels per acre. ) : ' We will now give you a brief history of some of our wheat farmers in Sparta. William Umbenhower has raised an average of 24 bushels per acre for the last ten years. William Schlabach has raised an average of over 20 bushels per acre for the last sixteen years, and he has farmed fully one-half of his improved land in wheat every year, and a portion of his land was new and the stumps stood thick. William Smith has for twelve years averaged 25 bushels per acre, I am told. - John Moore has raised an average of 256 bushels of wheat per acre for the last twelve or fifteen years.— This we claim is very successful wheat raising. Hon. Orlando Kifimell, of York township, has raised an average of over 20 bushels per acre for the past seventeen years, and only two years in seventeen years that his crop averaged less than 20 ‘bushels per acre.. We ‘would like to hear again from the e, - Frank Eaton and Judson Smith, two of Green township’s most promising young men, made Sparta a visit |a few weeks ago.
