The brilliant success of ia^t season in pleasing tlie pepple has stimulated tiie same man­ agement in furnishing the thousands in northern Illinois and southern Wis­ consin an exhibition not to be excelled in tlie great West, but to outdo all pa»t efiorts. It has been proven that in or­ der to make a lair attractive 3*ou must have great attractions and plenty of am<i8eineiits. A fine display of exhlb> its are essential; yu a great many care noth'.ng.for them. A^breeder wants to see fine stock; each as he is interested. Other* want to see tho thousands who attend; but the greatest number want si>eed, and in fact you will find all in the grand stand wheu tlie racing com­ mences. How the management have made liberal premiums in tho speed column] Our programme gives three races each day. One of the grand at­ tractions will be a balloon ascensiou e&cii day of iii« fair, by one ot tile best areouauts in America. The great gath­ ering of military and civil dignitaries will be unprecedented in the history of northern Illinois. At great expense tlie management have secured the at- teihlance of Gen. Geo. T. Beauregard-- a man who lought us in tlie late un­ pleasantness, with all of l^is noted qual­ ities as a brilliant general, but who. af- UJF piece was declared, came forward and swore allegiance to the stars and stripes which lie tried to bury Into ob­ livion. Another who will be with us, and who stands to day as the Napoleon of our country, the hero of the march to the sea.Gen. W. T. SHERMAN. What bright memories will spring up to those who followed him on that grand march (and many are residents among us). Ot tiers, equally as great, will be with us --Gen. John A. Logan. Gen. Richard Oglesby, Geo. Rinaker. Gen. Carr, Gen. John C. Hmitli, Gen. Bragg. Gen. Black; Gen. Green B. Raum. Com. of Int. Revenue, Washington; Hon. Rob. Lincoln. Sec. W:tr; II011. James G. Blaine. Hon.

A full pro­ gramme will be provided before fair time, giving the name of those who will be present eacli day. We invite everybody to come forward and ex­ hibit their products this fall. To our sister county. Lake, we earnestly re­ quest tljeir co-operation. Our premi­ ums are open to all, and we assure them fair play. They may have sbuiethiug we want, and vice versa. R;U,.: A.S. WBIOBV. ft® CftClERWHbOD EDITOR PLAINDEALRR: -- The long continued cold and rainy weather calls forth an occasional murmur of com­ plaint from the farmers, with expres­ sions of fear and distrust least the piomise which h:i», been given pf a "seed time and harvest" shall be broken. A few hours of warm - and genial rays of sunshine, soon changes the aspect of things, and nature's ma­ chinery agaiu moves ofr fir perfect order. - > " -" A very serious accident eocnri^Nl at the close of service at the chnrch on the hill, 011 Sunday morning last. As t^ie teams were leaving the church Mr. Adam Westennan had driven his team, ait ached to a double bugzy. up to the platform, and taken in his load, con­ sisting of himself and two children. Misses Mina A Flora Stearns, and their little brother WHKe, was about start­ ing, when one of the horses kicked, breaking the pole to* the buggy, he- Came frightened and unmanageable, throwing Mr. Weeterman out, breaking onev leg just above the ankle, overturn­ ing the buggy upon the rest of Its oc­ cupants, breaking the arm of Miss Flora Steams above the elbow and otherwise seriously bruising Iter. The others were more nr less bruised, but not seriously. At present writing Mies Stearns is suf­ fering greatly from her injuries, a* she Is very frail and unable to withstand so severe a shock. Mr. Westerman Is also snfferlng very much, as the fracture of his limb is pronounced by the attending physician as a very bad one. owing to its nearness to the joint. Messengers were quickly dispatched for physicians, which were soon on hand. Dr. Green was called !n attendance on Miss Stearns. Drs. Baldwin & Davis both being absent; Dr. Dooll trie was called In attendance on Mr. Westerman. Or.e would be led to conclude, upon entering the streets of Woodstock, that the lives and safety of the town de. pended upon the efforts of at least one- fourth of its male population, who are standing upon every street corner, dodging out from every hallway and alley, ready to pouftoe upon eveiy farmer or civilian who may chance to alight. Scarce can a man have time to secure his team before he is "dogged," cornered, flattered, threatened, en­ treated, belabored in every imaginable form of the English language, by tlie would-be-Congressman and his friends, until he becomes disgusted and makes a break, only to find himself again a victim of another "political buzzard," who has been waiting and watching for a chance to swoop down upon him, with the Elgin Advocate in hand, crying: "Here we have it!" "Please read that," etc., this being their standard of all authentic and **rellablew authority, published by a driveling sorehead son of Secession, whose graduating class was composed of the rank and file of .the Southern army. It has been stated upon good and reliable authority that some of the buslnes*,men and firms of •that town are rnncfc to Injure their trade, by their over^zealous dab- ling in political matters, which is well authenticated by several of their cus­ tomers. At the name of Sherwin their only cry Is: "Persecute him! Persecute him!" When asked: "What evil hath he done?" they reply:"Read tlie Elgin Advocate if you want to know." How strange that after having served the people of his disirfct for two successive terms, without a murmur of complaint against his Congressional' record, fuftli wonderful 'Corruption should not have been discovered and punished ere thi*! Tlie facts are, their case Is a desperate one, requiring the assistance of every dishonorable means to.quit* even a fair shewing.

Marshall town is the most beautiful young city we have seen In the west. Her population is about ten thousand, and a more wide-awake class of people don't inhabit the planet. The Decora­ tion Day ceremonials brought a vast concourse to the public square and cem­ etery, although the day was lowry, with some rain. The oration was pro­ nounced by P. M. Sutton, and was a masterpiece. A fine band and choir discoursed sweet music. "Our Country's Defenders." an or­ ganisation similar to the G. A. R.. held a reunion in their hall in the evening. Did space permit, and were oui mem­ ory of names perfect, it would lie a pleasure to inscribe here a host of names like those of P. M. Sntton and wife.

Tlie coinpany lie repre­ sents have a larger stock thnn all the other Canadian nurservs combined, and has euahli8hed an honorable •reputa­ tion throughout the northwest; Iowa Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota arid Manitoba, w -.ere the stock has been most thoroughly tested and has prov­ ed most hardy. Mr. Beal's claim over all nurseries of the States are.extreme hardiness, adaptability to climate and superior quality of stock. It Is reason­ able to suppose that stock grown in the northern climate of Canada ought te be better thnn that grown farther south. Mr. B. has had years of exper­ ience ifi the business and t^lls us that no firm iq the states hnve produced as healthy, hardy and long lived stock as that te be obtained by ordering from this firm. He has testimonials from promiuant and responsible {forties throughout the the northwest, who have bought from the leading nurser­ ies of the States for many 3-ears. but after buying from this firm they freely declare completer satisfaction.

III weather again interfered materi­ ally with the necktie social given by tiie Sons of Temperance, last Friday night. However, It was a decided suc­ cess, all tilings considered. The tables were tastefully decorated with flowers, tlie refreshments splendid, and every­ body seemed happy. The "grab bag" made lots of.fun, as well as tlie matches for supper which the neckties made. A number of members of the Hebron Di­ vision were in attendance, which was a source of much gratification to the members and friends of tlie Richmond Division. Much praise Is due tlie ladles of our Division for their untiring efforts to make ihq social a success. They did. tlie most of the work deserve Uto most of the praise. ' ^ . In McHenry county few men call now be found with the effrontery or Ignor* aiice to declare their belief in any Ir­ regularities of John C.

Why, inasmuch as Mr. O. Knick­ erbocker was the man who did tlie in­ vestigating, did lie not publish the overwhelming article in his own pa­ per? Does it not look as though lie knew it to be false, and ns though he dared not publish it until after tlie Advocate, the 6ewer of Kane Conntv * WANTED. #0,0fi0 pounds choice ' Hotter, for which we will pay tlie highest market price in Cash or trade.

Because it knew It was a lie, bare­ faced and evident, a campaign lie. he resorted to as alast hope, held nntll the eve of tlie convention and then set in type. Had not the political pilot of ;he Advocate bouated that lie would spend (M.000 to beat Shenfrin? Had he not told a prominent Aurora official that In- was determined to beat Sherwin, hrtn- ««srly, if possible, but beat him anyway. this last act of a desperately disap­ pointed politician would not bear so evident stamp of dishonesty and fraud. To beat him honestly they find is not possible, so they are bent on heating him anyway. They them srlv ^s have said it. We unhesitatiuglj sramp the contorted article as a cam­ paign lie, the work of unprincipled and designing enemies. Tlie Beacon dared not publish it although its ed­ itor prepared it. I'lie Advocate did not need to begin tiie article with a fulsome and nauseating dissertation upon Its own virtues, its anxiety to be the peo­ ple's humble slave, its disinterested motives and political purity. It need not tell us this, we know its record the public knows how pure in heart It is. its sickening self praise, as a cow­ ardly excuse for publishing a Ho was poorly conceived.
