The County Fair.
The county fair has become rec
ognized as an important factor in
the life of the farmer, in stimulat
ing his ambition toward the better
cultivation of the farm product or
the raising of high bred stock.
That this is true is apparent wher
ever the custom prevails of the
yearly gathering of the farmers and
their families in a certain district
during the several days set aside for
fair purposes. It may lw that you
remember in your boyhood or girl-
hood days the rambling building,
decorated with festoons of bunting,
with many stands and shelves each
given over to the display of some
choice culinary dainty, fancy
needlework, or mayhap the spaces
on the floor occupied by the exhibits
of manufactures or the product of
the garden, hugh squash and pump
kins surrounded by vegetables of
lesser size. Then the grand stand,
the judges Btand, the long rambling
nheds where are displayed the fatted ,
hogs, the wooly sheep and the high J
spirited horses or blooded . cattle, j
you all know the picture, the noisy
cries of the various venders, the ,
music of the merry-go-round and 1
the many smiling and happy faces
and joyfull salutations. It was (
great wasn't it? And you went
home and wished you could wake j
up in the morning and have it all
happen over again. But another
year was to pass lefore the recurr
ence of the jubilation. During that
year mother and sister made great
efforts in the embroidery line, with
the object in view of capturing one
of the prizes, and father and brother
planted more intelligently and bred
more carefully with the same end
in view. Yes it was the county
f;iir that inspired these efforts, and
, who can measure the vast amount
if good it accomplished .-Kelsonian
Now what Lincoln county needs
is a county fair to awaken the. far
mer to compete with the brother
farmer to -show him that he can
raise just a little tetter vegetables,
nicer and redder apples, fatter and
sleeker cattle and horses. Something
tj stimulate him to do just a little
tetter each year, why that will be
the test advertising Lincoln county
c mid have and that is all that Lin
coln county needs, is to be 'adver
ted so as to get more people to
come and make homes hero. To
clear up and cultivate its fertile val
leys, we do not want people to come
hew ju4 because it is easy to make
a living in Lincoln county, but we
want people with push and energy
who will help to develop the re
s iurcos of the county.
The Toledo Development League
has taken up the county fair pro
lxwition, so let us all Wst all we
cm to have a county fair in Lin
coln county. "

Having asked to be considered by
Republican voters in naming a can
didate for assessor, I believe it
my duty to make the following
statement.
I believe there is no office in the
county of more far reaching influence
than the assessor's. The general
up building of the county, the
county buildings, the roads, and
the schools are directly and" vitally
effected by his work.
I do not believe with the taxes in
their present unsatisfactory condi
tion, that the precedents established
in this office would be a safe guide.
In fact the only guide I would fol
low would be that established by
the State Legislature when it form
ulated the tax law. 'When per
plexed as to procedure on any sub
ject, instead of consulting old re
cords to see what others have done,
I would consult the best legal ad
vice obtainable.
The expences of the county must
be met. If the assessor has been WU1 Bee inai ine county deDt nas

Tl e richest parts of the county,
are held by speculators, who are
willing to sit back and see the far-
mcrs struggle along through muddy ,
roads and build up the county to '
such a point that their holdings
will be valuable. We know they
, . .. -, . ...
are doing practically nothing m the .
way 01 meeting ine county's expen-;
ses, while the actual citizens are
laboring under the burden of taxa- j
tion often excessive. This is un- '
just not to the citizen alone, but to ;'
the whole county, as it is a prenri
ium to speculators at the ' expense
of actual home builders.
The timber of the county should
te cruised and all property held by
nonresidents and speculators brought
under taxation according to
its
actual value.
