Decadence of Fairs. The Logansport Pharos says that Cass county went out of the fair business in 1888. Quite & number of societies have held their lnst fairv this fall, The St. Joseph, Elkhart and Wabash county fairs have all gone out of the business; and Plymouth now follows suit. Kosciusko county has held no fair for several yenrs. DMiami connty has abandoned the fair business and for two years has tried the street fake plan which got such a raking from the newspapers this vear that it will prob ~ably be abandoned in the future. In - many places farmers’ picnies and old ' the ordinary country fuir, nnd wherever tried have worked admirably. Tuthese gatherings there are no committees to make everybody mad that do uot get a preminm, no stock holders to hold the bag when the rveceipts are less than the expenses, and no unpleasaut recollection to wrangle in one’s bosom “alter the fair is over.” Will Burn Corn. A Kausas City special says w loeal | packing honse company has already is ’ sued orders to its Wichitn lhounse to burn corn for fuel as soon as it ean lm| bonght for 12 cents per bushel. Al ready the 12-cent price is in sight, for | with a erop of 2,500,000,000 bushels, the west will have cornto burn. That is more than donble the erop prodnesd last year. December corn tonched 27 cents iast week, and on the basis of present prices, corn will be cheaper than coal for fuel in states west of the Mississippi river. Anthracite coal, laid down in Kansas City, costs from &6 up, per ton. Tuinterior points the prices run up to £9. At those poiots corn is worth from $£2.50 to £4 per ton on the cob, It makes ahiot five, is clean to handle aud almost smokeloss, A ton of shelled corn will yield 25 per cent move heat than the samwe amonnt of coal. - Big Name, But Otherwise Small. Marion Chronicle: A coupleof years ~ ago the Chrovicle warned its readers more than they counld fultil. Oune at Indianapolis, the Fidelity, is now in‘w trouble, and the anditor of state is ask ed by certain Illinois borrowers to make a rigid examivation into its method of doing business and solveney. If it is shown that the affairs have been mis- 1 managed and that it is insolvent the stoek-holders will get nothing aud Hm! borrowers will continue to pay until every cent of the original is paid. Andrew s Raid Capt. W. J. Kuight lectured in | Bender’s hall Thursday evening oo Andrew’s Raid, one of the memorable I incidents of the rebellion. Capt, ! Kunight was the engineer of the expedi tion, and related the story of this epi- ! sode of the war in an interesting man- | ner, illustrating his lecture with large | paintings of the more important events, g There was a fair attendance. The z lecture was given under the auspices | of the cornet band. ’ Court House Meeting. | A meeting of the citizens of St. T -! seph county was held in South l;r-ndz last Wednesday to discuss the conrt house question.
