Prices, 'J."), Ma, 50, 75. Secure your tickets at J. P. Young's. The C'ulloni band came in this morning and will dispense music at the fair grounds to-dday. The band is nicely uniformed, and the boys play well. Wearenotyet in formed as to whether the H. A: M. band will be on the grounds, if they do not, we may safely conclude that Culloni will have a walkaway. The ice cream social given by the ladies of the M. K. church at the residence of S. P. llolloway last evening was well attended. The young folks enjoyed themselves immensely in the open air. The feature of the entertainment was the singing of Messrs. Harvey llol loway, Charley Sherman and Miss Mary Sherman. The board of supervisors was in Lincoln and Omaha the first of the week, inspecting the furniture with a view ot rurnisning me new court house. The board expressad it self as well pleased with the stock from which they will be al lowed to choose. The board doubt less will exercise judgment and discretion in the matter. Flag Raising. To-morrow morning at the time for oDcninir exercises, tt:(K) to ih'.V) o'clock, the high school will raise the American flag over the build ing.

Yesterday was a liusy day for the uperintetidents of the viirious de- partinents of the Cass county fair. While a great ninny entries about K were made Monday, a great many preferred to wait until Tues day, as the manaenH'tit had pre viously announced that the time for entry would be thus extended. It is the general opinion that lbe displays are more creditable in every particular that; ever before. In the exhbit of fruit ami farm products, one only needs to look tip- on them to be convinced of the excellency of our soil and the abil ity of our fanners. On entering tbe hall in which farm products are exhibited we first met our genial friend and enterprising fruit grower, II. C. McMaken. He has a collection of fruit that would be a credit to any county. He h.as on exhibition twenty-one vurieties of apples fall and winter- including the Fall Pippin, Newton, Pippin, Winesap and Jennetin varieties. He also has thirteen varieties of as fine grapes as grow, .including the Martha, Brighten, Klvira, Wilder and the Newton varieties. He has three varieties of peaches, of which he will have several bushels this year. He also has three varieties of large plums, that demonstrate conclus ively plum trees should be placed in every orchard. We next noticed the display of W. F. Moore, lie has thirty-nine varieties of apples, including the Jonathan, Northern Spy and Jelly Flower varieties, specimens of which are very good. His display consists chiefly of winter apples. Levi Churchill has a very credit able display of fruit. He has thirty-two varieties of apples, con sisting in part of the Ilelle-flower, Kusset, Strawberry, Gloria, Munda and Lowell a display in which Mr. Churchill may well feel a pardon able pride. We next noticed the display madt by li. V. Dean of Murray, which was the largest fruit display in the hall, lie has fifty-eight varieties of apples, including . the standard varieties, among which were speci mens of the Karly Harvest and Red Junes - a peculiarly remarkable ex hibit at this season of the year. Mr. Dean says it is the first time the Lass couuty tair ever mici tnose varieties on exhibition. He has a Holland Pippin variety, specimens of which measure fourteen inches in circumference, v W. K. Roberts has an exhibit of fruit, somewhat different from any other exhibition. He exhibits bot tled fruit, preserved in acid, making it easy to conclude as to the ability H"TTe has displayed in this manner four varieties of tame plums, sev eral varieties of raspberries, cur rents and strawberries, all of which are as large as are usually grown. The peculiar display, however, is a ripe strawberry attached to the vine ,n ,,H regular season.

Prints uuu iuuuj muvu aulhuw uuvw THE Roberts nUo lias several varieties Sonic gentlei lau. whose name we did not learn, lias on exhibition an excellent display of sugar beets. They weigh fn lyten pounds. This is abundant pioof that Cass county can grow sugnr beets prolitably. There were n-veral other entries in the agricultural hall, but as the exhibitors weie not in we shall not be permitted t speak of them. The display in the agricultural hall, as a whole, is iiite an im of grapes and fall and winter apples. " Jacob Vallery, Sr., has twenty live varieties of apples that com pare favorably with other exhibits and consist of about the same varieties. Mr. Richardson lias a display while consisting of onlyjnmc varie ties, makes a good showing owing to the si.eof the fruit. Kvidently Mr. R. exhibits quality rather than quantity. . Joseph Shorn, of Rock Hlulfs, ex hibits twenty-nine varieties of npples, which compare favorably with exhibits adjacent them. Mr. lunger was not in, but we noticed that he had a very line dis play of grapes and other fruits. I '. A. noting displays two squashes, weighing eighty and ninety-five pounds respectively. He has a good exhibit of potatoes, thirty-eight varieties of apples and several varieties of grapes. He also enters fifty ears of corn, which demonstrates beyond a doubt that Cass county has at least fifty ears of corn of w hich she need not feel ashamed. Wm. Murray enters the largest collection of farm products, having twenty varieties of apples, a collec tion of plums, seven different kinds of corn, large beets, oyster plant, tomatoes, cabbage and turnips. The display certainly reflects credit upon the ability of the exhibitor to force nature to yield well of her bountiful resources. V. S. Upton, of Union, exhibits several varieties of corn, measuring thirteen inches in length, large potatoes and several varieties of apples. MUs. Mcnota lukehbary has a line collection of plants, a majority of which are blooming nicely. The exhibitor was not in, hence we did not learn the names of the plants, but the disphty certainly reflects credit upon the taste and enterprise of the exhibitor.! provement overt former years. It was expected to-be so, however, in view of our excellent crop pros pects. Messrs. Martin Clarence, the en terprising implement dealers of Union, have a complete display of farm machinery, buggies! pumps, windmills, press drill, etc. The firm made the same disolav at the state fair, which is conclusive that they have spared no pains to make a good showing.
