The district fair that closes today was,
perhaps, taking everything into account
as much of a success as we could reason
ably have expected. The dry season
undoubtedly limited the capacity for a
good exhibit in general farm products
and nothing very flattering could there
fore be hoped for, in cereals. The fruit
exhibit was in every way excellent tineas
was that of vegetables what there was
of it, bnt where there was one exhibitor,
in this line, there ought to have been ten
and the same remark will apply to every
thing else. The horse and cattle exhibits
would have done credit to any country,
so fara8 quality is concerued but all the
cattle on the ground; were owned by
about half a dozen persons and there
ought to have been twenty horses where
one was shown.
It is natural that competitors should
sometimss question the judgment of the
judges who award the prizes at our ag
ricultural fairs. The owner of a good,
horse is generally proud of him and as
he knows the good points of his own
animal better than those of a competi
tor, it is difficult for judges to give de
cisions that will satisfy everybody. ' As
a case in point we may mention that
opinions vary considerably with refer
ence to the three stallions that com
peted for the sweepstakes. They were
Oallaghan's Royal Scott Clydesdale, K.
Nigman's Dandy Shire, and Robert
Kelly's Montford, Percheron. It may
lie said that either one is a model horse
of his kind. Still not a few think that
Montford, who got no place, ought to
have drawn the first prize and a still
greater number think that Dandy, who
got the second place, ought to have
had tiie first. We mention this sim
ply as a matter of news. For ourselves
we have no opinion to offer that would
be worth putting on paper.
An item has been published lately in
a newspaper of this city commenting
very severly on "J. W. Gilman and
others" for cruelly depriving -a certain
oor settler named Swift, of land in
Grant county, on which Swift had been
living for years. We do not pretend to
account for the animus of "the comment
but we do know that if certain news
jiapers in this citv are not a little more
-arefnl about publishing libellous articles
aibout their neighbors they may get in
irouble much more easily than they will
1 able to get out of. The following let
ter from the Fossil Journal would seem
to furnish a complete contradiction of
the vriticieui referred to: :'
TV fen Flat, Ori, Sept. I6th, 185)1.
K. Journal: You have doubtless
noticed an item going the rounds of the
lapers, headed "One of Many Cases,"
whic4 makes statements derogatory to
the reputation of J. Vv Gilman and
oSiers. Now these are the facts, as I
"know them from personal knowledge i
and current repovt: j
Some time in the year of 'So Mr. Swift
moved on to the land in question, and
has- been living there ever since; he him
self says that he then bad no right to a
homestead, as he had filed on another
place several years before but never
made final proof. He (Swift) has never
been molested in the possession of the
laud in any way whatsoever, and within
the last few weeks has filed on the place
as a homestead, which he had a right to
do under a recent act of congress which
secure to every man the benefit, of the
right of homestead.
The iiu't that Mr. Swift has lived on
t he place for nearly six years without
tiling or trying to file is certainly good
proof that'no attempt was or has been
made to deprive him of his rights.
Trusting that this explanation will set
right a most abominable 'fake" or else
malicious falsehood, I remain
Very truly,
Z. J". Martin.
Dun's report for the'! week ending
Septemlwr 18 says: "Actual improve
ment is seen in nearlp nil the cities from
which reports are received-this i week.
It is especially noteworshy that collec
tions areini proving at most points, and
that the money markets are on the whole
comparotinely easy, rl though the crops
to be moved are enormous, and the
actual movement unprecedented. It is
a' surprising fact that notwithstanding
the output of pig iron is almost equal.
-to t.be largest ever known, the price
jj rows more steady and stiff and a de
cidedly letter tone is observed in all the
imKrlatit markets.
The Albany .Woolen mills company
will sue in the next term of court for the
unpaid snbscriptiona to the guarantee to
bring the mills here. The amount un
paid is aSbut $1500. Herald. '-.
