A Ur Is a most excellent institution. It confers many advantages on the town | In which it is located. It is equally ben- - eficial to all the people whose homes are '• tributary to the place in which the fair is located. Such an enterprise furnishes one week e»i*' .^of wholesome amusement to the people y... "#Jtch vyear. It gives the fanner an op- portonity to show to the world his ele- gant grain and his handsome live stock. assertion. We base our claim upon the $ept that^aet crowds have been brought for lesser attractions with a smaller effort than is required in other places. This village being located in the east- em oortion of McHenry county, with the Lake county line but a few miles away, ire would suggest. that the people resid­ ing in the eastern part of McHenry duuuijr tutu iiiowe living in the western parto Lake county unite for the for­ mation of a fair to be located in this vil­ lage. Of course this would not be 'a couuty fair. It would be of vaster im­ portance. It would excel all the connty fairs in Northern Illinois. Its proper name would be "District" or "Union" fair. Such an enterprise could, in our opiriion, be made a marvelous success. The PLAINDEALER hopes that its read­ ers will give this important question their careful consideration. We cordially invite all who have views to express on this subject to send us letters for publi­ cation. We will gladly* give place in our columns to all such communications. We feel persuaded that a full discussion of the matter will aid materially in inau­ gurating the enterprise. Let the proposition herein advanced take definite form. No time should be wasted. Action should be commenced as soon as possible. Let us all do our duty. No questions of private stains should be discussed. They should be immediately dismissed on the ground of irrelevancy. Our sole purpose should be to promote the public welfare. And if we begin operations in this spirit, the month of September, in the year of grace 1894, will witness a grand, a glorious, successful union fair in this beautiful village. _________ IVSays the DeKalb Review: "There I are nearly fifty teachers holding certifi­ cate in DeKalb county more than there | are positions to be filled."

HI., 1P93 THli STAFF OF l.IFK. CLOTHED The raiser of fine poultry can produce for inspection his best rearings. The mer chant has a chance to display his fine ware. The mechanic secures the privilege to " place before inspectors the highest inven- c tions of the brain. The house wife can show to admirers delicious samples of f v her culinary art. Those who delight in fancy work are enabled to compete for the honors of the fair. In short, all that ," nature, science and art can produce can ^ be arranged in magnificent splendor to •'*" stimulate the efforts of the exhibitors and to call forth ejaculations of admi­ ration from sight-seers. But the exhibits are not the only at­ tractions. There are the races. Owners who have speedy horses desire a chance to test their swiftness in comparison with other steeds. Here they have that chance. A fair in which racing receives sum or less attention is a powerful in­ centive to the horse raisers of the vicin­ ity for the rearing of fine animals. These facts are conceded. They admit no argument. They are self-evident. We venture to make the assertion that every reader of the PLAINDEALER agrees with us in oar declaration as to the 'ad­ vantages of a fair as stated above. Now to the point: We believe that the time haa come when a fair should be establish­ ed in this village. The location is the most important question to be considered in the manage­ ment of a lair. Give a fair a good loca­ tion and yon will insnre its success. This village meets the proper requirement. As such it cannot be excelled in the state by any other town, and its equals are few. Inhabited by enterprising cituens and surrounded by thrifty farmers and stock raisers, the push needed to set the wheels of afair in motion would instantly be forthcoming. Men of ability could be secured in sufficient numbers to success­ fully manage the undertaking. And they would be proud of the task imposed tipon them. The town in which a fair is located Should be supplied with plenty of water " it should have streets over which vehicles can be drawn with ease; its sidewalks should be of standard width and in first- class shape. Such a state of affairs is in existence in this village. Now cast your eyes for a moment over the territory. What a grand area of eountry would be tributary to a fair lo­ cated here! The fairs nearest to us are those at Woodstock and Libertyville. The former ig twelve and the latter eighteen miles distant. These are far enough away that they could hardly en ter into competition with a fair here for the patronage of the public. When the question of territory therefore arises it can be disposed of at once with the deci­ sion that a finer scope of country cannot be found anywhere in the world. Again, the quality of this territory is , each as to justify the belief that a fair in this village would be accorded liberal . patronage. The farmers in this section are well-to-do and up to the times. They would greet a fair with open arms. The stock raisers in this vicinity are noted for their enterprise. They too would put their shoulders to the wheel for the upbuilding of a fair established here. Those who rear speedy horses--and this •action is renowned for the large number of fast horses--woold also lend a willing aid to the enterprise. Nor must we forget the popularity of this village as a drawing card. Itself by nature endowed with beauty, located on the celebrated Fox river, and only a lew miles distant from the far famed lakes, this town can easily, with the ad­ dition of a fair, draw the largest crowds ever assembled in one place in the north- ma part of the state. This statement we make with emphasis. And we desire to have it understood tbat this is no idle f Few presidential appointments I need be expected in the near future unless there is a decided change in the doings of | Congress. It is clearly apparent to* a man up a tree that President Cleveland does Hot intend to make any changes in public officers until the fate of the silver | repeal bill is settled.
