Nothing has been left undone by the manage­ ment whloh would prevent the Fair of 1887 being far superior to all others. We pride ourselves on the program presented aud fully believe it will re­ ceive the hearty endorsement ol all who attend. For eight months we have labored unceasingly In the work of jaakiBig tlto S&th, Aoiaaal imposi­ tion a great credit to the people of McHenry county. Will you give it your sanction by attending it. and assist In part towards making op for the two past years, whloh were so roiny ? The Fair is as much yours as anyone else. You have been Kreatly benefitted by it and still wll} be. You may think the season has not been as prosperous as it ought to have bee In other words you may feel poor. Ye1 it is not neoessary to dwell upon It. You'have a long winter before you; you have been tied up at home all summer; you need a change; and no such place affords such excellent op­ portunities to brighten life as the Pair. You will see thousands of ex­ hibits which will encourage you for the coming year. You will see and hear great men (and do not let your children miss this part) as th% attend- ancc of publlo men (will be larger this year than ever before and men who stand foremost in the Nation. (See list this week). It requires work to bring tbem here, hence we are anxious to give them a grand reception. Will you disappoint as? The McHenry Qounty Fair stands to-day foremost among the Autumnal Expositions. To keep up with Its progress it i9 neces­ sary to have more accomodation! to meet the large exhibits which are sure to come. Your attendance this year will bring this. Furthermore, we are entitled to it. fox two years past bad weather prevailed, which cut our re­ ceipts largely. Many thousands ol people were prevented from coming, who can make it up this year.

Every indication augurs an unusually large attendance from home and abroad. Tbe Northwesteran railroad gives us reduced rates and runs an excursion train from Aurora. I know this has been a discouraging season for farmers, the unprecedented drouth has short­ ened our crops and made less inviting the condition of our stock, yet. 1 trust, the native grit of our stockmen will not desert them, and that they will bring the best they* have to the Fair, as they always have done. Nature Is again clothed in spring like beauty, pastures are again green. Bye. for fall feed, la being extensively sown; tbe corn crop is being all saved in shock and silo; all kinds of straw Is being cared for; our people are again hopeful and cheerful, and all are coming to the Fair, to see and be seen, and thus spread the fame of our noble county and do themselves good. The ladies of Woodstock, assisted by tbe ladies from all over the county, will doubtless fill to overflowing Floral Hall. It baa been the pride of our people for years and the ladles need no urging to keep up and increass its Interest. Let all come; we have variety enough for all. Oar half mile track is now the nicest in tbe county, and will be so managed as to give no offense. Orevensteen will provide for tbe Inner man. 8porta that are harmless will help make variety. Distinguished men from all parts of the country can be seen and listened to. 1 would urge all to make entries early. It saves con­ fusion and makes a more satisfactory display. Give as a good show In vegetables and frultss as possible Andrew Bourne, your long tried su­ perintendent, will nicely arrange them. Let our County schools fill the Youth's Department with their work. Wo need the |belp, not' only of the farmer and his wife 4hd family, but the business men, tbe professional men. the saientlfic men and the mechanics, In short let all come, from town and hamlet, and thus sustain our almost National reputation.
