the Scotts Bluff county fair. The
first dates given out were the same as

to their attention they advised the sec
retary of the fair here that they had
changed to Sept. 28-29-30. The Alli
ance people have come in liberally with
funds, and while the whole work will
have to be organized this year, there
is no reason to doubt there will be a
good fair arranged and that it will be
well worth the while of the river peo
ple to go over and attend. Cornier,

University of Nebraska, is desirous of
obtaining specimen plants from this

kind. He has appointed J. E. Kee
baugh as collector for this section and
has supplied him with a quantity of
franks for the purpose of sending in
specimens. Every farmer should be
interested in ridding this section from
plant disease. So whatever you have
that shows signs of disease, whether
potatoes or any other crop, bring in a
sample and it willl be sent to Prof.
Wilcox. Mitchell Index.
John Pederson, the cement worker,
whose advertisement has been running
in Tho Herald for some time past, in
forms us that he has purchased lots on
north Toluca avenue. As soon as he
completes the street crossings which he
has contracted to construct, he will
begin work on a substantial dwelling
house, which will be frame, resting on
a somewhat elevated foundation of ce
ment blocks and having a cement base
ment. This feature of the house would,
in our opinion, add much to the comfort
and convenience of residences general
ly if adopted. Mr. Pederson informs
us that he has already put in twenty
five crossings in Alliance this year and
is now only about half done. These
crossings will certainly be appreciated
by the people of the city.
