—Our former fellow-citizen, A. C.

This is by all odds the largest yield of which we have. heard or read this season. 9 ; 4

— It is not out of the way to remark that the city of Goshen is:to-day enjoying greater prosperity than’ any other town along the Air Line division. One hundred thousand dollars expended in erecting new buildings and repairing and remodeling old ones has given employment to all the mechanics in town and some from other points, besides giving new life to all branches of business. Verily, the Goshenites have every reason to feel proud of their beautiful city. . . "—Our esteemed old friend, A. C.

—The reading given in Kann’s Mall last Thursday evening:by Prof. Carhart was well worthy of the iclose attention given to-it by those present.— His reading of the comic pieces was most excellent, causing those present to almost'go beside themselves with health-giving laughter.

It consisted of amusement and instruetion, very happily combined, and we most heartily commend him- and s reading to those desiring such an entertainment. = | = "

—Our esteemed friend, Wm. B. Garman, ex-commissioner of Elkhart county, recently sent us a five dollar greenback on subscription. In his letter he took occasion to observe: “I am taking a half dozen different papers, and a few days ago I told my wife that I would be obliged, on account of hard times, to stop ‘some of them, So I sat down andlooked them all over,and THE BANNER was the first one I told my wife I was going to keep, if it took the.last dollar to pay for it. So you will please send it right along.” Certainly, friend Garman. Thanks for your favorable estimate and that substantial enclosure. e : !

—The Fair at F't. Wayne, last week, may be pronounced a sucéeés, though unfavorable weather at the beginning doubtless had a retarding ‘effect upon the flow of coin into the treasury. Thursday was the big day. Gov. “Blue Jeans” Williams constituting the principal attraction. The weather was favorable,” and about 12,000 people were on the ground. Our excellent farmer Governor related briefly what he knew about agriculture, and his remarks were received with greal enthusiasm:. In the evening he was honored with a serenade at the Mayer House. He responded in a brief speech, —An effort was made last week to gecure the Hon, Schuyler Colfax for the délivery of a speech on the Fair grounds this week, but unfortunately it turned out that he was not at home. A letter from Mr, Colfax, written at Baltimore and addressed to Rev. Mahin, states that he will remain in that city until the latter part of this week, and that his lecture engagements will from then on require his attention until November. We regret exceedingly that Mr, Colfax can not be with us this week, to deliver his admirable address on “Hard Times—Their Cause and Cure” as he would doubtless have drawn mm;mww&b yet a probability of his lecturing here fimymw Fm"y

THE FAIR. | It Opens Auspiciously, and Bids Fair ’ to Prove a Grand Suceess. " 4A writer whose special provinc¢s it is to visit and “write up” County Fairs, recently said: & e “In no other department of farming ~or country:life are the foot-prints of agricultural progress more definitely visible than in our County Fairs. At these annual gatherings of the people .we see an exhibition of the entire result of farm labor, the general groducts of the soil in grain, fruits, vegetables, besides the disply ¢f horses, «cattle, hogs, sheep, and the exhibition of the multifarious handiwork of the good housewives of the country.— There the mechanic, the artist, and ‘the manufacturers of agricultural implemenes especially, have -the best chance in the world to advertise thelr different productions. Asthe Frenchman would say—county fairs are one grand advertisement of what everybody raises and what . everybody makes.” o

The grounds upon which the Noble County Agricultural Society holds its Fair this year is the society’s own property, bought last Spring for $1,700. The tract contains 23 acres, and is enclosed with a substantial board fence, A splendid half-mile race track has been constructed at considerable expense; a new judge’s stand and ticket office have been erected, the old floral hall was moved upon the new grounds, and long rows of stalls have been reared along the fence. There are 52 stalls for horses, 36 for cattle, 20 hog pens and the same number of sheep pens. Two wells, one of 4514 and the other 49 feet in depth, furnish an abundant supply of pure, fresh water. The improvements on the ground -exceed $l,OOO in value. A great deal of hard work has been done gratuitously by ‘the gentlemen in charge of the ground, and they are entitled to great praise for the efficient manner in which they prepared the same for this year’s exhibition. '

N THE FIRST DAY. ~As usual, the first day was devoted to making entries and arranging articles on exhibition. =~ The floral hall is fairly filled with an exceptionably fine display. of ladies’ articles, &c. The horse department is “chuck full,”every stall being occupied, and Berkey’s and Best’s Normans attracting especial attention. The cattle department is first-class, Messrs. Rippey, Growcock and Kinnison being on hand with their splendid thorough-bred animals. The hog and sheep departments, the displuy of vegetables, the variety of agricultural implements, are far supe~ rior to the exhibits of former years, and indicate that our appeals to the farming community have not been made in vain. o ' 'The number of entries exceeded four hundred yesterday, and the cry is “still they come.” o Family tickets are selling 1n large numbers. The attendance was as large as could reasonably be expected. The race of three-year olds proved a right nice er.tertainment. Jesse Hoover’s won therace,Jonas Shobe’s coming in second. S L SECOND DAY. - At 11 o’clock the erowd had already assumed immense proportions, and wagon-loads' of people were coming from every direction. The weather is delightful, and everything points vo a grand success. o our readers ata distance we say: Come to-morrow and Saturday, and enjoy a day of recreation and pleasure. -~ By a unanimous vote of the Directors, the Fair has been extended to Saturday. Bear this in mind.

Theatre---Kann’s Hall.

It is not too much to say that those of our citizens who failed to attend the theatre last ‘evening missed an opportunity that is seldom offered to our community. Mr. G. A. Hough, Miss Ida Lewis, and the entire company,are artistes of superior ability, and rendered their plays in a manner highly creditable to themselves and enjbyaable to the audience. The play of “Life’s Perils” is a very powerful one, and depicts in glowing colors the evils of intemperance. As a temperance lesson, it is superior to any lecture that could be delivered, Wé understand’ that strong efforts are being made to induce the company to repeat this beautiful play on Saturday evening. . { ik

THE NATIONAL BANNER quotes wheat at $1,24 in Ligonier. Why is it that $l.OO is the best price paid in Boone county, when there is not half the wheat raised here that there is in the “Haw Patch” district?— Things are not as they should be.— Lebanon Pioneer. e

WAWAKA ITEMS.

Our local sensation, an aggravated case of falling from grace, still constitutes the topic of conversation. It was yery naughty in the old man to think of suchia departure from the path of virtue and fidelity. :

Where do we begin to economize when hard times come? We firstcut off our payments for religion and be‘nevolence, when we fail to pay that little amount which our .neighbor needs so badly, then we stigggurselves in some necessities, but we do not de--crease the outlay for tobaecco, whisky and other Juxuries. .. . There has been an immense amount: of damage and loss of life during the present summer season, caused by lightning. One can hardly pick up a newspaper without finding@record of the ravages of the destroying element. It is the partof prudence to have one’s life and property. well insured. I am pleased to be enabled to state that Mrs. M. M. Dodge has improved sutficiently to venture out of doors.— Hope she may fully recover. The younger the child, the more readily does it become chilled ; thereis more demand for external heat in early life, when the supply from the system Itself is limited. And yet parents often keep much less warmth updon their young children than upon themselves. : : !

. John Zimmerman, George/W. Mummert, and Riffle Hathaway buy wheat, of which a fair quantity is being bro’t to our depot. ~ e Some people dedicate themselves to the Lord, but keep their money and property for“ other purposes. They dodge the stewards at every corner, and make all manner of excuses for not paying thje preacher. Tl_}_ey_pro;iose to get to heaven without paying for it, and, judging by th¢ past, some are making rapid headiray in that direction. Deadheads! ; ;

The exact amountiof watermeldn a small boy can put himself outside of and still live, no fellow perhaps will ever be able to tell. We are pleased to hear that there is a fair prospect of a new bank being esfablished at Ligonier. Such an institution, under the direction of the right kind of men, would provea great benefit to the western part of Noble county. : : ]

Harvest is all over; the bulk of the threshing has been done, and now some of the farmers are disposed to indulge themselves -in a little wholesome recreation. This is entirely right and ought-to be encouraged instead of repressed. Our farmers haye all gathered good crops, and have still mote in prospect. Most of them can ‘well afford to take a holiday now while the potatoes are maturing and the corn is hardening its ears. It should not be a selfish one either. The farmer who is able.to go abroad can afford to take his wite and daughters along. The men, as a rule, will look out for their own enjoyment, but the women can-not-do it"as well. A few days spent in the city sight-seeing will give a complete change of scene, air and food. The expositions constitute an additional attraction. The costs of such jaunts will not make any difference to the family estate at the end of the year. Or if it isn’t eonvenient to go upon these excursions, take the family tosee your wife’s folks—or even spend a day under the tiees in the woods, upon the banks of some purling stream. Give the tillers of the soil a change! XK 2

SouND BusiNEss VIEWS,—An old tradesman advances the following views on advertising: “The first utility of frequent and regular advertising consists of this: "There is atall times a large class of persons, both in the country and town, who have no fixed place for the purchase of certain necessary articles, and are ready to beswayed and drawn towards any particular place which is‘ earnestly brought un- ! der their motice. Indifferent to all, ‘they yield without hesitation to the first one whoasks. Then, in the country, a considerable number of persons who wish a supply of the article advertised, and do not know of any particular place where it is to be got, being thus furnished with the address }of the person who can supply them, naturally open a communication which leads to much ulterior business. . People in the country are also liable to be favorably impressed by a frequent sight of a name in'the newspapers. ‘The advertising party acquires distinction in their eyes, and thus they are led, in making a choice, to prefer him. But by far the most important effect of advertising'is one of an indirect nature. It conveys the idea that the advertiser is anxious far business, and such a person is always supposed to be industrious, attentive and civil; one who keeps the best of articles, at the cheapest rates; does everythingin ‘the neatest, most tradesmanlike manner, and in general uses every expedient to gratify and attract customers, People like to purchase under those circimstances. = a 0 ' —ookes The Canada Southern to he Completed.

HAWPATCH MUSINGS.

Could the sturdy sons of toil ask for a more favorable season than the present for getting their wheat into the ground? Verily, Providence is smiling upon us, and yet -comparatively few people seem to be really happy.

We know men and women who use tobacco for the following purposes: To keep them from becoming too fat, to prevent their being too lean, to prevent over-eating, to improve the ‘appetite, to keep them awake, to promote sleep. g Almost everyone thinks they will get. to heaven, but they'have grave doubts about some other people getting there. ; : : - When a fellow goes back on his red ribbon he gets lower down in the scale of degradation and deeper in the pools of infamy than ever before, if such a thing were possible, .

The principal tattlers are taking a slight rest. They realize the fact that lies, like pigeons,generally come home to roost. e Farmers are disposing of their wheat rather slowly. They have no room to complain of the prices paid, taking into consideration the large amount of it harvested the present season.- e The earth has been pretty well saturated with moisture, hence fall plowing was carried on without much trouble. ; o

- It has become a proverb in malarial countries, “that almost any fool can break an ague, but it requires a firstclass smart doctor.to keep it from coming back.” - ~ The term agricuitural is derived from two Latin ‘words—agar, 2 field, and cultura, cultivation. 'Agriculture is ennobling, dignifying, and will elevate and promote the true interests of any people. Remember this fact, young farmer, when the foolish notion comes into your head that it is more honorable to bea dry goods clerk than a sturdy tiller of the soil. ' ‘ sl . ToM.
