In 1873 the Webster County Agri
cultural Society was organized, and a
very creditable fair held the same fall.
A very fair showing of vegetables was
exhibited. The following summer
1874, being the memoriable grasshop
per year, ne fair was held. In 1875 a
good showing of cereals and vegetables
were brought out Last fall, 1876,
more interest was, perhaps, manifest
ed than at any of the preceding fairs,
and the productions of Webster county
were exhibited at the State Fair at
Lincoln, and the Society received a
medal therefor. The showing of this
county both at the county and 8tate
Fairs might have been far better thaa
it was, had the people taken an inter
est in the matter. The good that
would be the inevitable result of a fair
showing of this counties productions
at the State Fair u incalculable, as it
demonstrates to the outside world the
mot that notwithstanding the false re
ports and rumors that are regularly
sent out from this valley by persons
who are not satisfied anywhere, that
this soil and climate is capable of pro
ducing all kinds of grain indigevous to
f wlW Ify'tHimitetfabundanco, as well as
vegetables of the best quality and of
mammoth size.
The Webster County Agricultural
Society now has over twenty life mem
bers and owns a lease en 40 acres of
land adjoining town, and may Be said
to ha on a good footing, and by a little
exertion and co-operation of the farm
ers of the county, may be made to be
a grand success, a credit to the county
and the Republican valley. The pre
mium fist, we presume, will soon be
printed and a copy of the same placed
in the hands of every farmer in the
ounty, and we hope that the awaken
ing of a general interest will be the re
sult There never was a better pros
pect for crops of all kinds than there
now is in this valley, and in fact ah
over the State. Let us have a credit
able County Fair nextail.
It is stated on good authority that
the Omaha & Republican Valley road
will be extended to Lincoln during the
year of 1877. If that should be done,
it would be with the intention of
building a road through this section in
the interests of the Union Pacific ; and
no matter what Gould's raterests
would be, it wonld be a great benefit
to this county if built to Fail bury. It
is only too apparent that both the B.
& M. and U. P. companies want the
Republican Valley, and we are satisfi
ed that one of the two will have a road
there in time to carry off the next
crop, if they are satisfied that the
crops will be good. Fairbury Oaxette.
The business man says he is going
to quit advertising by standing card,
and turn his attention to locals. He
is sure locals pay much better. For a
week or two he gets np his locals
promptly, and then he disappears from
the newspaper columns entirely. Uis
intentions are good enough, hut he
stops at that point, aad if the people
wish to know whether he is still ia
business they must inquire after him.
Gentlemen, a standing card is what
you want, to let the people know that
you are still in business, aad fling
arsuad your locals promiscuously to
let them koow what you have to sell,
aad at what price. Fairbury Tum.

The following from the Fairfield
Xact, wc publish with some changes
for the benefit of our numerous read
er in the east, as we think that it con
tains good advice to a certain cists
who are trying to gain a livelihood ia
tic over-crowded eastern state.
"Why dou't you come west ? Why
do you toil on from year to year giving
the larger share of your earnings for
rent leaving no balance for your owa
labor. Why do yon keep on Calking
day after day, month alter month,
about getting a farm of your own aad

fort to come where you eaa do so?
Why do son keep waiting aatil cheap

and sandy soil and hard-pan aad lack
of society and church, and edasetieaal
advantages, when ail these objectieae
have been answered satisfactory frvm
time to time ? Why doa't you swum
wwt ? We ask this question to ssaa
who have but little means aad desire
to become freeholders, to man who
wish on small capital to elevate t'.em
selves to the dignity of farmers aad
stock-raisers on their owa responsibil
ity. Aad we say to you that there
are the best of indications for the
reaping of the most abaadaat harvest
ever known to the west
The grasshoppers are gone, aa
abundance of rain has prepared the
ground admirably for rapid produc
tion. Small grain is in splendid con
dition, corn is being planted in large
quantities, prices are remunerative,
and land is cheap. We ate an agri
cultural people and this is an agricul
tural and stock raising country. Mer
man horses of the best blood, Berk
shire and Poland China swine, &c,
have been brought from the east, and
are here for the lovers of fine stock.
Beautiful rolling prairies, covered with
nutrioious, succulent grasses, stretch
out as far as the eyo can reach, ready
for the plow to ohange with moderate
labor into broad, cultivated fields of
growing grain. These are facts upon
which there is no discount, and white
no man can attain to excellence with
out labor and perhaps some privations
we firmly believe that a shortest route
to a competency for poor men of de
termination lies across the country on
the shortest practicable route to these
western plains. The people are now
full of hope over the prospects bud
ding for the future. The grasshopper
scare and the rain clouds have passed
away together, and hope, bright mon
itor, is aglow in the hearts of all Ne-braskians.
