The refreshing showers of the past week ought to receive the united thanks of all and renew greater energy in the approaching Fair, which will soon greet us. Are you aware that next month will soon be here, a few short weeks only remain before you will be judging each others produots, and casting atiouor for some new stock. It is a fact, and it Is our aim to re­ mind you of it. We started out to make tbe Fair of 1888 the grandest of any yet held by the Society, Nature is doing her best to help us and if hard work and a splendid program will accomplish it, it will be a* suc­ cess. Let us enrich our treasury, whereby we can enlarge our accommo­ dations and premiums for 1889. No. one desires to see the Fair go back • ward-far from it--our reputation is too great. It has increased our soil too much. It has made our stock too sleek, ft has given our children a higher opinion of farm life, will you deny it? No man, women or child, in this Coun­ ty can afford to keep away. It is a duty you owe yonrself and generations to follow to attend the County Fair, the great school of nature. What gives you a better Inspiration to work than attending the Fair. Tou old men who perhaps have failed In get­ ting out of the eld rut; you young maujust commencing the voyage ol life, don't you think the County Fair a school for you? Just so with the ladies. Plan your work to attend each day, It is money well invested. Come out and meet your, co-workers, become acquainted, discuss and be taught by each other. We want you til to oorne this year, we will give you a rioh program to take home with yon and digest for one year. A. S. WRIGHT, Secy. •ml McHenry County Soldlor's Sailors' Reunion.

The English in their selfhtt determin­ ation to make their island the work­ shop of the world, have violated this larf all over the globe, and postponed its supremacy. But the law is vindicating itself. Nearly all nations have established the home market and made it tlioirs exclusively by protective duties. The Democratic promise, so iiborally made, that the . Mills bill , when a law , will anable the United States to command the markets of the world, was trans­ parently false. . I repeat that civilized nations are adopting protection, British free trade is dying out all over the world. It is now making its last oampalgu In (Jhls country, and its captains most fitly are tbe heirs, executors aud admlnstrators of the slaveholders' rebellion, and Its commander-in-chief rightly Is Grover Cleveland. Look at England's present condition, induced by free trade. Tbe Belgians, French, Germans, Swiss, Italians un­ dersell her on her own soli, as well as In her foreign markets. So ruinous is this competition that it was reported at the recent session of the British labor convention that 700,000 British workmen were out of employment; that a fearfully large number of fur­ naces, mills, factories and shops were olosed or working on short time ; and it was declared in the convention that re lief to this vast aroiy of unemploy­ ed men oould come but from two sour­ ces--assisted emigration, or the break ing down of the American tariff, so that British manufacturers could get free entrance into the United stales markets That is a privilege which England's own colonies, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, stoutly refuse to her. Are the working men willing to accord* quite willing to accept Idleness, pov­ erty and misery to relieve their hsrei?* itary enemy t Answer in November. GRAPE JULCE FOR SICKNESS. Tbe art of cultivating the Oporto vines aad fermenting the Oporto Grape Into wine IN this country, and of preserving the Grape Juice fresh without fermentation has been brought to a greater degree of per­ fection by Mr. Alfred Speer, of Passaic N, J., than by any other person; IN fact, be was the pioneer in introducing and advertising Native Wines. He has purchased hundreds of tons of grapes, besides his own vintage. Mr. Speer's success has arisen from the strict purity and valuable properties of bis wines for invalids and feeble persons, anil bis reputation EXTENDS around the world. , [NOTICB.--Peraons in Algonquin and vicin­ ity, knowing themselves indebted for the PbATHDEAUUt MS learn of the amount by eai ling on John Helm, who is authorized to receive money and receipt for the name, in oar name.

EAST RIVEK NATIONAL BASK, - NEW YOBK, March 10, 1886- It gives me great pleasure to add my testi xiony in favor of Allcock's Porous Plasters. Last October 1 had a very severe attack of lumbago and suffered untold agony; could not turn in bed or get in any position without assistance, and with pains almost unbearable; the folks suggested Allcock's Porous Plas­ ters. As soon as possible I had one applledto the small of my back, and to my great surprise I experienced almost instant relief; I continued wearing it until entirely cured, and am bappy to say that I have not had the slightest symptoms of Lumbago since.

Cheap clothing sounds well, but the difference of a few ecnta a pound In the cost of wool will not mako a radical change, so long as ready -made clothing is pro> lected by a tariff of 45 per cont.
