v The exhibits made by our citizens at the fair showed in an excellent manner what the county contains. Tho live stock and the agricultural products are hard to beat. The new 0. P. Church is building rapidly, and will soon be enclosed. It will be a comfortable and appropriate place of worship. The plan of the church is new and attractive.

The Balsam made it browii igain apd soft as in my boyhood.” The brick work on the Carpenter building was completed Saturday, the !iu roof has been placed thereon, aud work is progressing on the inside of the house.

All of Pike connv and a good many from surroundng counties were there Thursday, ind all went away with a broader knowledge of the wealth and great sociability of the Pikeites. The daily Democrat and daily Press, each looking neat and betokening busiuess, adled to the liveliness of the gathering. AVe are pleased to hear many farm>rs assert that they will allow no juails killed on their farms this fall »nd winter. By protecting the birds ibis year they will have an opportunity to- multiply. The last cold winter nearly exterminated them, and & ruthless slaughter now would result in their extinction. AVe hope that all farmers will see that none of them arc killed.

The Princeton Leader last week spoke in high terms of our fair, and in one paragraph as follows': “The fair was a decided success, and the managers should feel a just degree of pride in the fruit of their efforts. It is the intention to make further improvements each year, and it is safe to say that if the improvement next year is as great as in the one just past Pike county will be near the head of the county fair procession.”

Residence Burned. On Friday morning at 11 o’clock Oscar Parker’s residence, a fcdr miles from town, was totally destroyed by fire, together with the contents, ex* eept some bedding.

GLASS HOUSES, “They Wb« Mtc in Glass House* Should Mind Ho w'Thcy Cast stohs.r “■file wicked fleeth when no one parsueth.’ It is amusing to see how tender-footer eertain blood remedy proprietors hare be come of late. They make much ado about ‘■apes and imitators” when none are it sight. The proprietors of B. B. B. would say most emphatically that their remedy stands upon its own-merit. Should we attempt to imitate, it would not be those who do not understand the modus operandi of that whicb they offer. Our long experience in the profession precludes such au idea. The held for blood remedies is large and h»oad, affording ample room for all present aspirauts. We do not desire to close the door against others, neither shall it be closed against us. B. B. B. is the quickest remedy, does not contain mineral or vegetable poison, does not imitate, and is iu the held as an honorable competitor for public favor, and its success is without a parallel.
