Secretary Mills informa us that never, sinue he has been connected with the County Fair Society, has he received so much encouragement as he lias for the past two weeks for the coming county fair. The farmers all over the country seem to take an especial interest and the exhibits will be excellent, notwithstanding the poor season. There will be a fine line of special premiums which will be announced in due season. One entirely new feature of the fair will be a "Woman's Day," and for that day Mrs. Mary Mayo, of Battle Creek, Pomona of the State Grange ; Mrs. Knaggs, of Bay City, president of the Michigan Womans' Suffrage Association; and Mrs. Lilian Hollister, of Detroit, Great Lady Commander of the L. O. T. M's of Michigan, have already been engaged to speak. Others will also be present, and will be announced in due time. The School Day will be the greatest one ever held, and nearly every district in the county is making arrangements to take part therein. Supt. Pattengill, of Lansing, is expected as one of the attractions, and auy one who has ever heard him speak, knows what that means. The authorities are having the premium lists printed, and are pushing things as rapidly as possible.
