To make the Fair a succcess it is necessary for every person in the community to take an interest in it Our Remington and Francesville neighbors are making exertions to have their respective exhibitions excel in interest anything of previous years. Probably nothing that people can do at so little expense is so well calculated to attract the attention of strangers to our county as their yearly displays of her productions. Let each person resolve to bring something, no matter how little it is to make these shows attractive. No one person can do it all, and the interest does not all center in a single department. Many a mickle makes a muckle, and it is the combination of all the classes that renders the show attractive and worthy of attention.

What the Merchants Say— The merchants everywhere who sell D. B. DeLand & Co.’s Best Chemical Saleratus, say that no article ever sold, gives such universal satisfaction to. customers. They like to have customers pleased —especially the ladies. ; They know it is the “Housewives’ Favorite’’— that Chemical Saleratus. It is better than Soda.

It is the universal decision of all who visit Michigan City that the Jewell House is one of the best hotels in the state of Indiana. It is doubtful if there is a more agreeable or a more attentive landlord any where than Mr. Harris. Everything is neat and orderly about the promises, the table is well supplied, the servants are attentive, and bills are reasonable.

Father Babb, at Remington, still maintains his old time reputation as a landlord. The Babb House is a good place for travelers to stop, if they like square meals, good beds and a quiet time.
