REMINGTON PVT-POU&&1. > f From oar special correspondent. J Hot many Beyiiaytoniana took in the Niagara Falla excursion. A boat two war* all I heard of. $ . .. Aa early w last Sunday the nine minute trotting horses began soaring to the Fair Ground in squads. " - . Jim Tribby who want to Denver, CoH, last spring, baa returned satisfied that “a rolling stone gathers no mogtf’ f B. E. Morgan bsi sold his fhrm, tftgfi miles Bari of tan and will devote his time to looking after town property. John BowmsD i Kirill team indulged is ’a little runaway on Tuesday. Beyond tearing up things a little no harm was done. While taking* horseback ride last Friday Charley Peek had the misfortune UrKaveM* borne drop dead without any wafting. The animal was pure ha ned only the day before. * The business room now occupied by I. CKings bury * Co. has beta sold, 8. k M. Solomon being the purchasers. They will probably move into their new quarters in September. We are aeon to lose one of oar prominent citizens. 8. M. Blank has made arrangements and will depart for Colorado next week. There are many who oould be better spared. “Charity" in last week’s issue of the Re-! porter, hit the nail squarely on the head -in , “Why people talk." These are Gates’ sentiments exactly, and always have been, although he lacked the ability to express them in words. As predicted before, the excellent crop of -wheat raised-this year has incited the farmers to make an attempt in the same direction for another crop. * Should all be successful, judging by the nnmber of aores to be sown, several thousand bushels of this grain will be shipped from this point, the surplus over And above, needed for the bread for the wheat growers.

Not every one who left for the promised land(Kansas) last spring, found the country flowing with milk and honey. If they did, that kind of provender failed to satisfy them. They are coming back one after another, the latest arrival being B. E. Coover, who arrived here with his family last Friday morning, and John Bowman on Saturday. They went, they saw, and they returned. How the ware houses are going to manage to handle all the grain, should it mature as now promises, is an unsolved problem. It is very likely that with good roads, they will be filled to overflowing most of the winter. This opinion is founded on the probability of tbe impossibility to procure cars, with whiob to move the vast crop of corn now growing in this jurisdiction. The company controlling the railroad through Remiogtoa, has always supplied our grain men with facilities for transportation when there was no call for cars at the same point where was a competing rood, and it will doubtless pursue the same course in future. They know that they have this business safe and can taka their own time for it.

The Fair opened auspiciously on Tuesday, the weather bring very pleasant, albeit the roads were rather dusty. Of course there was not a very large attendance on the first day, most of the time being devoted to entering and getting in position articles for the exhibition. Tbo walking matoh in the afternoon excited considerable interest and . pants came down to their work manfully. There were eight entries at first, but learning if Wax g«f as you please, four withdrew and tbe distance was cut down to seven miles instead of ten. Linfoot Ist, Garrison 2nd, Loring 3rd. Shearer withdrew at, the end of the 9th round (4$ miles). Time of winner 56 min., 6 sec. The mule race fizzled for the wadi' of sufficient' entkieh. Wednesday Floral hall was filled to its utmost capaoity with a display, which tor variety and excellence is seldom equalled. The marble works deserves special mention, consisting of monumental and statuary work* of Vermont, Italian and Tennessee marble. More poultry was on exhibition than I ever saw at a fair. Bogs in large number and a good showing of cattle. This has always been noted for the number and excellence of horses and the reputation is folly' sustained' this year. As there are two more days yet, anything like a fair description is impossible. The weather remains all that can be desired and everything is working smoothly and universal satisfaction is apparent. Fast pacing and three minute trotting this (Wednesday) afternoon This is undoubtedly the best Fait ever held here and the most largely attended. Hundreds are here from abroad. Gates.
