ing fruit, lor which this was a very poor
year. The Borse exhibit is splended, as it
always is. and what is better, the be*t
horses belong to the county.
"Storm Bird" is] the handsomest trotter

bition, and H. L. Rhodes of "Wick had a
fine bull, and these were t he .only Butler
conuty cattle we knew.
The exhibit of sheep could not hare been
beaten, but they too were most'y from
Washington county and Ohio; and the ex
hibit of pigs was good.
Some fine potatoes on exhibition
in Vegetable Hall, and what fruit was
there was good, but there was not much ot
it. The exhibit of canned fruit was credit
able. ,■»
Floral Hall had its usual decorations of
bed quilts, fancy work and pictures. Some
oil and pastel paintings by the Misses
Ayers and Black were admired .by every
body.

Happiest Results.
It is a fact confirmed by tbo most ample
experiense that thoso who habitually resort
to Humphey's Specifics for aid and cure
in their illness, have less sickness, better
health, better growth, loDger and more
vigorous lives, than those treated by other
methods. The fact is explained in the
circu nstanee that these Specifics, because
of the method of their composition, have a
deeper and wider range of action than
other medicines, and thus constantly tend
to eradicate constitutional weakness and
disease. The list of Humphrey's Specifics
contains preventives and cures for every
form of acute illress or disease which it is
safe or wise' for tho non-professional to
treal, and with each Specific such counsel
and directions as will lead to the 3afest.
and happiest results. Acute diseases may
come at any time from exposure, and each
has its Specific, whose timely use is inval
uable-not oulv saving sickness, but often
life itself.
