The sud den death of Mr. Love, Friday, at Lincoln, was a shock to his friends in Weeping Water, where the family lived fo a few years, and where Mr. Love worked at his trade the car penter trade. The ratioing of food, and the shortage of help, caused worries and disappointments during the county Fair. It must be the perverseness of human nature which makes every cue who attends a Fair, think that they must have something to eat, even if they have just eaten a hearty meal at home, and it seems like the more tho food is rationed, the more food they demand. Anyway Weeping Water learned that we must have more eating places before another Fair.
