The C County Fair M.itiy people inquire f u.-onwhat date tin' county fair will be held, but we are unable to inform them as no notice of it has ever been went to this office, and we cannot ti ml a bill or premium list in town. Klmwood hi' ho. INK IIkkai.I) in able to state, authoritatively.that the editor of the Keho received the name information pertaining to the fair that wan sent other papers in thecounty. lie wan also sent a complimentary ticket and a special letter of invitation Several premium lists and postern were sent to Klmwood and vicinity a well. It appears to us that the pre tended ignorance of the matter on the part of the Kcho is manifested for the purpose of injuring the fair, but we cannot see that this is a wise course to pursue, as it is held in the interests of thecounty, and we expect Klmwood and vicinity to receive its share of the benefits. For the benefit of the Kcho we again state that the officers have left nothing undone that, in their judgment, would contribute to a successful fair. Indications are that it will surpass all others ever held in thecounty. The dates are Sept. 1.5, 10, 17, and 18. K LMWOOD IT KM S FROM TIIK ECHO.

The city schools open Monday and the buildings have been thoroughly renovated and many much needed imnriiv.MiiiMits added. This work i - has been done under the super vision of the building committee mm nosed of William Kallance, chairman, ami L. P. Hcnnett ami J I. t'nruh, who have been very dil- ! ligent in this matter and who be- lieve that anything to e done ; should be done in the best way and I manner possible. Central building ' has undergone a thorough cleans ! ing; the roof has been repaired and repainted; room 13 has been divuleU a id instead of one large room we now have two as neat rooms as it would be possible to find any where. The work of dividing this room was begun 1 ast Tuesday ami is com pleted.and the woodwork paintedthe blackboards have all been reslated and are in fine condition. Two large tables, water and other im provements have been added to t le laborating, making it one of the best rooms in the state for that pur pose, and when we say that it will be in charge of Prof. McClelland you can rest assured that our laboratory will be a success. The desks have been overhauled and many new ones added. The Brush patch on the east end of the park has all been cut and it presents a much better appearance, aid with better care; next year the grounds will present a good sod of blue grass and clover. The ward buildings have all been overhauled and the school house on the Missouri Pacific track has been re arranged; the door placed in the south end, a tight fence eight feet high between the track and the building has been built and every precaution possible has been taken for the safety of the children. The Mercerville school building has been thoroughly overhauled painted, new furniture provided withit and presents a very credita ble appearance. The flag for the high school is here and its sown as the different schools are organized it will be dedicatedwith the proper eclat and the young America can gaze on the emblem of one of the grandest na tions on earth.

Dean was hand somely decorated last Friday night and was the scene of a very pleasant party given to allow friends and ac quaintances an opportunity to say good bye to Miss Lottie Dean who was soon to take her departure for Michigan, where she will visit rela tives and attend school this hall and Winter. The invitations were very general and from the number present it would seem that all in vited were there. Refreshments ol the very finest order were served from nicely decorated tables and as the evening was pleasant, guests were allowed the full freedom of the grounds; so that with even the large number present, there was room for all. It was not until a lale or rather an early hour, that guests saiil good-bye, and the general verdict of those present is thatitvns one of the most enjoyable social gatherings of the season.

Fricke & Co s. RECIPROCITY WITH MEXICO. The Mexican government has ap pointed a special envoy to negoti ate a treaty of commercial recipro city with the United States, and there is good reason to believe that such a treaty can be made upon terms of decided advantage to our farmers and manufacturers. Ten years ago a treaty of that kind was negotiated by Gen. Grant, it will be remembered, ami the democratic leaders in congress defeated its en forcement. The concessions made at that time were of an estimated value of many millions per year, while we were to give in return only what we could afford. Since then the trade of Mexico has become much larger, and the reasons are corres pondingly more forcible in favor of an arrangement by which we can secure an increased share of it. Last year more than two-thirds of the exports of the country were to the United States, while only a little over one fourth of her imports were bought from us. In round num bers, we purchased from her $10, 000,UK) more than we sold to her. We sold her more than any other one country, to be sure-$12,tiOO,0X) as against $8,uX),0tX) sold her more by Great Britain -but in the aggre gate other countries supplied her with three times as much as she obtained from us. It is our own fault that this fact exists. Other nations have prolited at our ex pense because we have not taken proper care of our own interests. In the nature of things we should have a practical monopoly of the commerce of Mexico. There are certain geograpical and political considerations which tend con stantly to bring the people of the two countries into closer relation ship. A large amount of American capital is invested in Mexican en terprises, and the people are favor able to American trailers. But the want of a reciprocity treaty pre vents us from taking full advantage of the situation. Other nations are able to secure a majority of the cus tomers by reason of the draw-backs which we have imposed upon our selves. Mexico is not to be blamed for buying goods where she can get them on the best terms and under the most profitable conditions. It is no part of her duty to give us trade in preference to others simply because we happen to be nearer to her. We must offer proper in ducements if we want her patron age. She has a right to ask that we make reasonable concessions to her and duplicate the favors ex tended to her by our rivals. We are prepared to furnish her with practically everything that she im ports, and to take practically every thing that she exports; but this counts for nothing unless we make it to her interest to do all of her trading with us. She is perfectly willing to buy more from us if we will so arrange things that she can find an advantage in so doing. The matter is one of business and not of sentiment. We have it in our own hands for the most part, and can make a bargain lhat will yield us large returns. Mexico has signi fied her desire to adopt the recipor city policy, and if we meet her half way there need not be any trouble iu effecting a treaty of the most beneficial and satisfactory char acter. Globe Democrat. CROSSED HIS OWN PATH. We must call the reader's attention to the fact that Governor Boies crossed his own path at Cherokee, when considered with the remain der of his speech. The main part of his speech accredited all the Iowa farmers' woes to the tariff, and in the above he lays our calamities to prohibition. We want him to stand still long enough to be counted. He says corn-urowincr in Iowa is not profitable because of the tariff. If he will tell the readers of the Capital specifically and with out dodging, just what foreign mar ket is closed to American corn be cause of the tariff, and just why the tariff makes the price of corn lower, we will pay him $3 per column for his production. Just so long as it is to the political interest of the democratic party to make it appear that Iowa is a statt of paupers, just so long Iowa will suffer in her material interests. The industrious people of Iowa should rise up in their might and put the calamity party to deth.-Iowa Capital. Mrs.O'Rourke and daughter Annie left last evening for Ashland.

Put What you are paying out for Rent into a home. 7 per cent money for persons wishing to build in South Park. Look to the Future ana invest now in South Park. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME. Among other reasons why it is better to invest in South I'ark than elsewhere in the city, are these: Property is more saleable if you wish to sell, more reutable if you wish to rent; if looking for an in crease in value, no other part of the city will compare with it in prospect The 5th ward composed largely of South I'ark, less than three years ago could hardly muster up a vote at the last general election the vote was 130 and all were not polled. It has been less than two years since the city invited us into the corpor ate limits, yet we haveoverone hun dred newly built house ond others in process of construction, owned, with few exceptions, by the parties now living in them. This part of the city has a store water mains, electric arc lights, church and school priveledges and a new church edifice just erected of which the whole city is proud. Plattsniouth's steady growth for five years past almost doubling its population; the advance stand it has taken regarding public im provements, the certainty of a new $80,000 court house; the completion of the great Missouri Pacific rail way into this city, giving us anoth er great trunk line and competing market; the constant increasing pay roll of the C. B. &. Q. shops, to gether with many other well known reasons, assure a steady and perma nent advance in rtalty, which will doubtless effect South Park more favorably than any other portion of Plattsmoiith. With a vieiv to the encouragement of a still greater growth of this part of the city, we will continue to sell lots on monthly payments, furnish money vrilh which to erect houses will ex change lots for other improved city property or for desirable improved or unimproved lands. It is not so much the speculator as the permanent resident that we wish to purchase this disirable property. Out of over eighty pres ent owners of South Park property none are speculators hence there are no fictilous values nnd lots are selling at about the I j 1)rici. tliey were i,ninediatly after ' j it was platted-a strong argument 1 wll" 11,0 IrwM,t is 14 m(mi l-8rsille time for investments.
