REMEMBER the Harvest Party at the | Riverside Houte, on Thursday, to-mor- row. evening. A grand good time may expected. THE city authorities have put in a new bridge over the mill race, in this village. It was a much needed improvement, and jtgood, substantial job has been done. THE Burlesque Company, advertised to appear at Riverside Hall, on Thursday evening last, failed to materialize, and probably our citizens were the gainers bjr it. NANCY HANKS was driven a mile in 9:07%, at Washington Park, Chicago, last Wednesday, beating the world's best record, and deposing Maud S, whose \^be8t time was 2:08%, and Sunol, 2:08%. / IT is announced that the .Postmaster- / General of the United States has decided to issue a new series of postage stamps, with designB appropriate to the com- L tnemoration of the discovery of America. | THE Gold Medal Contest will take 'f, place at tbe City Hall this Wednesday evening.

All that is necessary is to yawn at stated intervals. Some preach­ ers are noted dispensers of the remedy. A celebrated lawyer said that the three most troublesome clients he ever had were a young lady who wanted to get married, a married woman who wanted to get a divorce, and an old maid who didn't know what she wanted.

Land on the river is now selling at the rate of $800jper acre. W. B. WALKER, of Harvard, will have charge of the dining hall, on the Fair Grounds, at Woodstock, next week, which is a sure guarantee that every­ thing in that department will be in apple pie order, as "Butt" is an adept at the business and his many old friends will be'sure to call on him, and equally sure of a good meal.

THE ladies associated with the Ceme­ tery Aid Society de-ire to express their sincere thanks to all who so kindly aided them in their entertainment. They would be glad to express their gratitude to each personally, were the number less numerous, but especial thanks are given to Honry Wightman for carrying the organ to and from the hall. To Mr. Van Slyke tbe ladies feel under renewed obli­ gations for the very generous notices and the many handbills, all furnished gratuitously. For these favors and for his constant and ever ready aid and as­ sistance, given so cordially, the ladies desire to express their sincere apprecia­ tion. And finally to eaeh and all who, by their presence aided in making the entertainment a success, thanks are given. EVERY newspaper wants to publish the news. The better the paper the more properous it will be. Local nens items are especially hard to run down. How many times have you, dear reader, been approached by the newspaper man for an item of news and told him that you knew nothing of interest. Probably at the time your family were away on a visit or some one from out of town was visiting at your house. Of course you didn't mean to deceive the'scribe yet when you received your paper you won­ dered why your family or friends were not mentioned. A good way to avoid all of this is to kindly inform us of the fact or drop a note in the post office to the paper. The one item may not amount to much but several columns of such news is the life of a local paper, A MOTHER sent her small boy into the country, and after a week of anxiety has received this letter; "I got here all right and I forgot to write befdre. It is'a very nice pfctce to have fun. A feller and I went out in a boat and the boat tipped over and a man got me out and l.,was so full of water that I didn't know nothin' for a good long while. The other boy has to be buried when they find him. His mother came from Lincoln and she cries all the time. A hoss kicked me over and I have got to have some money to pay the doctor for fixing my head. We are going to set an old barn on fire to-night and I should smile if we don't have bully fun^ I lost my watch and am very sorry. I shall bring home some mud turtles and I shall bring home a tame woodchuck if I can get 'em in my trunk."--Exchange.

Fair. TaSS Assuo! Fair is Gueof the utiloBtonee that regularly marks an era of agricul­ tural and mechanical progress, and points to a happy consumation resulting from nature's beneficence and man's labor. It is a period for rejoicing that the traits are gathered and the work of harvest is done, and it serves as a bond of union whose influence is beneficial to all persons, and whose results conduce to the prosperity and well-being of the community. ^ The announcement of the dates of this Fair is all ths^t. is necessary to attract a large attendance from this vicinity, as the people here have been attending it for many years, and have never been dis­ appointed in any particular, finding everything as advertised. This year ex­ traordinary efforts have been made for a complete showing in all departments and the assurance is given that this desirable end will be more fully realized than ever before. The dates are Aug. 30, 31, and Sept. 1 and 2, next week Tuesday, Wed­ nesday, Thursday and Friday. THE following is old but will bear re­ production, as it will set some of the boys to figuring; "A chambermaid is said to have put twelve commercial trave­ lers in eleven bedrooms and yet to have given each man a separate apartment. Here we have eleven rooms: 1 | 2 | 8 | 4 | B | 6 | 7 | 8 j 9 } 1 0 \ 1 1 Fair have done the public a great favor to to Pierret's--" in securing Mr. Walker in this position.'^ What do I care for erret?

'Now,' sai$ she, 'if you two gentlemen will go into bedroom No. 1 and wait a few minutes, I'll find a spare room for one of you as soon as I have shown the others their rooms.' Having thus stowed the first two in No. 1, she puts the third in No. 2, the fourth in No. 3, the fifth in No. 4, the sixth in No. 5, the seventh in No. 6, the eight in No. 7, the ninth, in No. 8, the tenth in No. 9, the eleventh i® No. 10. Having completed the task she went back to room No. 1, where you will remember she had left the twelfth gentle­ man along with the first and said, 'I have now furnished each of the others with a room, and have a room to spare; if you please, step into room No. 11 and you will find it empty.' ^How was it done?" ^ Beal Estate Transfers.

Last Sunday night the 104th perform­ ance of "Ali Baba" occurred, and its summer run is not nearly over yet. "Sinbad" last year was supposed to have made a pretty good record, but the total number of consecutive performances given by it was only 122, so that within a week or two "Ali Baba" will pass it. The 100th performance last Thursday night was attended by an enormous audi­ ence, attracted thither by the beauties of the spectacle and by the handsome souvenir which commemorated the oc­ casion. The remarkable attractiveness of "Ali Baba" was never better evidenced than during the past week, when, not­ withstanding the extreme heat, the "standing room only" sign was out at ever performance. Eddie Foy and Arthur Dunn are now disporting in their old roles, and Joseph Doner, who so ably filled Foy's place while he was away on sick leave, appeared last Sunday night in the character of Alibazen, the Caliph of Bagdad, formerly essayed by Alfred C.

Therefore I heartily recommend it to all who have hens. Mrs. Rose Langkilde.

THE Marengo Republican says: "An incident a little out of the usual order is reported to us as having recently occur­ red on the farm of Mills Bros., in Seneca. On going out to milk their cows one evening one of the boys noticed a bunch in the teat of the cow he was about to milk; he felt of it carefully, gently squeez­ ing it for a while, when out popped a little green snake about six inches long. How it came there is more of a mystery than how it got out." IT is an old and very true saying, that a merciful man is merciful to his beast, and the man who abuses a dumb animal is unfit, not only for the kingdom of heaven, but utterly unfit for the kingdom of earth. There is, therefore, but one abode left for him. Geo. T. Angell, the practical humanitarian, suggests that horse breeding associations should not bestow prizes on any mutilated horse. This would no doubt have a desirable in­ fluence in putting a atop to docking horses. . As I am closing out my business, no­ tice is hereby given to all who are in- debt to me on book account, that they must call and settle their accounts on or before Sept 1, 1892, or their accounts willbe left with a Justice of the Peace for collection.
