There is a fair display of vegetables for this time of year. A large number of specimens of poultry are also on exhibition. ex-hibition. The domestic arts are well represented, as also are the fine arts. Relics of the early days in Utah, anil of the early times in America, are plenty, and many of them possess quite a sad history. Many articles both curious and ridiculous are interspersed. inter-spersed. On the whole it is a very creditable exhibition for Springville. A detailed mention of the exhibits must be reserved until later. The attendance in the evening was something immense, but things went off very nicely. A short but excellent program was carried out- About that time a "gentleman from Sanpete" appeared and addressed the audience. He had a typical Scandinavian makeup make-up white hair, great white beard, and white sheepskin coat; but to have made the illusion perfect he should have left his language on the railroad track where a train would run over and fracture it a little his English wasn't quite enough broken for the character he assumed. He drifted around to the fish pond after awhile, where his angling was rewarded re-warded by a blushing, and withal a very comely young woman, who arose from the depths of the pond. The vote for the most beautiful lady resulted in the victory of Miss Nellie Crandall, who was given 124 votes, and bow possesses the medal.

The attendance at the fair last evening was fully as large as that of the first evening, and the election for the "most popular man" possessed a keen interest for the assemblage. A short program was rendered. A kodak fiend, in the guise of a handsome hand-some young woman, appeared and provided considerable amusement. Bishop Hill, Mayor Hall. Agent Geo. Thompson, the Goddess of Liberty, the Independent reporter and ether prominent people were boldly "held un" by the "flend" and counterfeits of their handsome (?) countenances will no doubt soon be on the market. Marshal Storrs wanted to arrest the "tlend" as a precautionary measure, but after a while changed his mind. A party of general officers of the It. G. W. Ky. made the fair a visit, while their car was side-tracked here a few hours. The party numbered, among others, Col. Babcock, F. A. Wadleigh and Therou Geddes, The election to decide who was the most popular man in Springvilie was a hotly contested affair, hut in tin end Mr. Geo. P. Thompson, the K. G.

Meek, who resides at Camptonville, Cab, says her daughter was for several years troubled at times with severe cramps in the stomach, stom-ach, and would be in such agony that it was necessary to call in a physician. Having read- about Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy she concluded to try it. She found that it always gave prompt relief. It was seldom necessary to give a second dose. "It has not only saved us lots of worry and time", she says, "but nlso doctor bills. It. is my opinion that e very family should have a bottle of this remedy in the house." For sale by all druggists.
