) lorth FIFTEENTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1899: NO. 59. Lincoln Co. Agricultural Socloty. North Platte, Aug. 17tli, 1899. To the people of Lincoln Co., Ne braska: The Lincoln County Agricultural Society has determined to hold a Fair this fall; we have no money to hang up aa premiums; wc can offer no funds for trotting or run ning races. We have the buildings and grounds and we ask you to bring in your live stock, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens, ducks and geese and hold an exchange fair. What wc mean is this: In order to raise good live stock it is necessary to buy or exchange male breeding animals every two years, and in order to raise good grain, potatoes or any other farm product the seed shouh be changed fre quently. The only way to encourage fruit growing is for the fruit growers to show their neighbors what they have done. In fact fa ml in truth, the only way for the agricultural classes to keep up with the times is to meet and learn from the experi ence of each other; when and how best to do and perform the business of agriculture. Park your wagons on the grounds and with your families camp there, and enjoy three or four days of rec reation. Let every producer bring with him some of the products raised by himself or his family. The fair will be held from Sept. 20th to Sept. 23d. Sept. 21st will be Soldiers' Day and Sept. 22d will be Old Settlers' Day. The manage ment trusts by next year it will be able to offer premiums. This year if you want to run your horses you must hang up your own purses. By order of the Board of Direc tors. W. C. ElbKR. Chairman. John 13. Evans, Secretary. Botwcon the Illvors.

During1 ;i light rain Saturday ev ening hailstones of a large size fell north of town. Not much damage resulted as there are but few crops in that direction. Saturday was a busy day in Wal lace, many farmers being in town. Several horses and mules were sold to some horse buyers who were stopping here for a day or two. Horses brought from forty to sev enty dollars and mules about tho. same. It looks as though this comer of the county was destined to become a cattle country. There are lots of cattle here now and more are be ing brought in. This is as it should be, and when the many thousands ol acres of Iuicoln county's surplus grazing land are properly utilized hard times will vanish as a. bad dream. Any one who will take the trouble to drive through the sand hills will be struck by the abund ant grass that covers the laud. Many acres produce as much as a ton which can be converted into good winter feed for stock, while horses and cattle will keep in good order just running loose, only needing feed and shelter during storms. Dan Atchison was interviewing our merchants again this week in the interests of a wholesale grocery house of Omaha. Me drove from here to Sutherland Thursday. The train time changes some what again, the cast bound going Sunday morning instead of Monday morning. Among those who attended the institute at North Platte from Wal lace were Misses Laura Scaton, Maud lCgau and Maud Jones. A. It. Nichols and 11. C.

Hccht each succeeded in leasing some school laud, and F. J. Nichols got a railroad section in the sand hills. They will all put slock on the laud. II. C. Robbins and Chas. Dillon were county scat visitors Tuesday. They are both bachelors and their ady friends arc much interested to know who the lucky ones arc. C. G. Reynolds and wife made a trip to Carrico Thursday. They say corn looks well down the creek, while the hay on the Willow ib an mnieuse crop. Whooping . cough has made its appearance southeast of town, some children being afflicted by the mal- uly.
