Well, it was a splendid success. In the household and field crop departments it was up to the usual displays of the kind at the State Fair. In live stock and poultry we think it was fully seventy-five per cent better than last year. .The household de partment gave abuadant evidence that old Fairfield has many noble 'and tagatd pga '40DOVW ing collectivey it was the best and rost conveniently and -taste fully'arranged exhibit of the kind -*e ever. saw. The greatest im provement was in the. poltry display, but as we shall make our next contribution- exiusively a pouttry-acticle, we will not dis cuss it-here. Rveiy one-connected with the fair, those who made exhibits or those who served, deserve - much piaise. Wenoted how diligently and faithfully the various oiicers applied themselves, but it was a labor of love. There is- a - strong ond widespread patriotic seenti ment among Fairfield's citizons and this made the fair what it was-the real thing. Now the object lessons of the fair- and its value to. Fairfield. 'We will speak of the former for the latter can hardly be measured by dollais and centsi or the oi-di nary mind. It s h o w e d what Fairfield's people can do and are doing. It was an agricultural school an-l gave those who at tended 9pportunity to measure their efforts and abilities by comparison. Itashould arouse in the highestsens~e the spirit of cotinty piide' and promote *a friendly rivalry among our' peo pie..tQ tuin out something .still better thanjias~yeL been .produced. That grand display 'can not fail to create in the breast of every one, uniless that cne be dead bey ond all hope, a healthy and laudable enthusiasm and desire for more and better of the useful, the good, an~d the beautiful things of life. W1e told a friend that we hoped he would be on hand to Inspect th~e fine crops and the live stock. "Oh," said he, "it won't do me any good; those things won't belong to me and I am not able to buy them." But unless he is a hopeles.s case he would have been filled with a de sire and determination to produce such crops as he would have seen .4 on display or to own and breed such stock os was on hand. Desire ought to produce effort and well directed effort ought to be crown -ed wvith .success. Could that exhibit hiave, been sent to the State Fair it would have been a great advertisement for this county. Th. man who did not exhibit and s.taid at home may sing, "I could have beaten that."

Indiana has a law on the sub 'et that leaves nothing much to e.dsied Farmer Shaw, of Orange County, in that State, it is reported by the local paper had a-sheep-killing dog, of whose dharacter in that respect he was ignorant. But a few mornings ago it was caught in the act of killing sheep, with seven carcas ses already in eadence on the ground, and he -pAmptly shot it. "Then lbe presented a bill to the county commissioners for the 7 sheep killed. The commissioners heard his story and laughed long -and .loud over the proposition to p a man for -sheep owned by himself and killed by his own dog. Then the farmer began ex piting his knowledge: of the law and the commissioners eorncluded to call in the county attorney. The attorney advised the com missioners to settle and the far mer thereupon drew' pay for his sheep'killed by his own dog. It is an application of the law to which the - commissioners were niot accustomed and the board is stilI..u1~eeoncM50' .
