Please regard this as a call which we expect to have returned. Those who cannot call in person, please enclose the amount in a letter and re mit to us. Come now, no fooling. AVNOUNCB THE CAUCUSES. The several townships are requested, as far as possible, to send in announce ments of the town caucuses and hate them published in the ADVANCE. Let us have ample time, fair notice, a full representation and no packing. THE TOWN CA UCUSEB. The Republican County Convention will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 25th, one week from next Tuesday. The town caucuses, we suppose, will beheld on the Saturday previous, or one week from next Saturday. We hope the far mers will bear this in mind. If your town committees arenot prompt in call ing the caucuses, stir them up to at-railroad tend to their duty. Do not let thresh ing or plowing interfere with this im portant matter this year. Make up your minds as you read this that you will, if possible, attend your primaries and s*»nd out-and-out peoples' dele gates to the Convention. Let us have a fair, full representation ot unpreju diced men—men who have not been connected with any rings, and then let them nominate good men and we will all put our shoulders to the wheel and elect them. ARRIVALS. Two gentlemen, named Lord, from New York State, cousins to Mr. Wills, of Bigelow, are visiting Mr. W., look ing at the country. They will proba bly remain permanently, as they are much pleased with the country. J. R. Strange, of Dallas county, Iowa, Is visiting his son-in-law, Justice N. Y. McDowell. Mr. Strange had heard so many stories about grasshop per devastation that he was agreeably surprised to find such a magnificent harvest. He is strongly impressed with the idea that he can raise about as good corn here as in Iowa, and will try it when he settles here, as he thinks of doing. Strange il Mr. Strange don't locate here. RETURNED. E. F. Whitney and Ira Gibson have returned from a five month's sojourn in Iowa grading on the Maple Valley railroad, running from Carroll to Ma pleton. They took a contract for 6i miles which they have completed, leak ing over a mile a month. A pari of the time they worked 35 teams. Some men came 400 to 500 miles with their teams and were glad to get steady work at $2.50 a day. COUNTY FAIR. We suppose it is a settled matter now that there will be no County Fair this year in Nobles county. Two at-the tempts were made to get the Executive Committee together, but both were failures. The farmers are too busy tak ing care of their crops, and the whole county is too much behind pecuniarily, we suppose, to attempt a regular Coun ty Fair. It is to be regretted that we did not stait sooner, for then we should have felt bound to continue, as ourChurch neighbors in Jackson county have, and also in Osceola county, Iowa. We would again suggest a Harvest Home and Stock Exhibition combined. Cant we give one day to a Grand Coun ty pic-nic and combine with it a display of the best stock in the county? SHEEP. The sheep purchased by Mr. Ames for parties in this vicinity arrived on Monday last and were corralled in pens adjoining the cemetary east of town. The numberbrought is about 2,600, one hundred or more having dropped out along the way. They were purchased in the northeastern counties of Iowa and tlte southeastern counties of Min nesota. They were taken by the fol lowing parties: Sugden & Grissell 1,000 John Alley 450 Miss Erva King 500 H. Y. Wells 180 Thos. Wills 100 Geo. M. Plumb 100 Elihu Smith 200 A. J. Wilcox 80 They are delivered here at an average cost of about $2.75 a head. Mr. Ames haspuichased a few blood ed sheep for himself on this trip, with a view to improving his own flock. One of these is a full-blooded Merino Buck, which weighs 223 pounds and from which a fleece was taken last spring weighing 304 pounds. Elsewhere will be found the nomina tion of Joseph Chadwick as a candidate for the office of Register of Deeds, sub ject to the decison of the approaching Republican County Convention. This movement isspontaneous and the nom ination is signed by a number of citi zens, mostly farmers. Mr. Chadwick, as is well known, was a few years since badly crippled by a harvester, which disabled him except for light work. He has been compell since his misfortune, to draw sev eral hundred dollars a year from the county, to support his family. Should the people see fit to elect him, they not only save the county sever* al hundred dollars a year, but do a great service to an unfortunate, but worthy and estimable citizen. We do not believe there is a man in the coun ty who can say a word against "Joe Chadwicb," as he is familiarly called by the people. He is an earnest Chris tian, and, we believe, entirely compe tent to perform the duties pertaining to the office of Register of Deeds. Rumor says there are to be several marriages before long in the Union Congregational Church. Notioutoget our "affinity's" consent and join the party. Wonder if the Elder wouldn't do the marrying at wholesale rates where there are go many? ADRIAN. A few daysago we took Horace Gree ley's advice and "went west," as far as Adrian, driving across the country. The place hasasightlylocation near the Kanaranzi and is destined to be a trad ing point of considerable importance. We found our friends Conde & Wigham busy taking in wheat at their ware house, and the Captain dishing out goods at his store. They are preparing to receive and ship a large quantity of wheat. Mr. Conde ispreparingtoopen his lumber yard, and he will do a large business when the Hungarian colonists arrive. We dropped over into Olney township, that is, just across the street which is the dividing line between Ol ney and Westside, and found Geo. H. Carr up to his eyes in .business selling goods. At the Adrian hotel, we of course met T. H. Childs, the whole-souled proprietor, and enjoyed a good dinner. The hotel is a good one, built by the company, with ample accom modations. H. J. Ludlow, of Worthington, we found, was putting in a stock of hard ware and opening a branch store there. If Bishop Ireland succeeds in locat ing his colony in the neighborhood of Adrian, there Will be a lively trade there during the next year, and as they propose taking all the railroad lands, that portion of the county will be more thickly settled than any other. TO THE VOTERS AND CITI ZENS OF NOBLES COUNTT. We, the undersigned, being citizens and voters of Nobles county, do hereby present the name of Joseph Chadwick, of this county, to the public as a can didate for the office of Register of Deeds. Mr. Chadwick is one of the oiiginul settleis of this county, -and a hard-woiking farmer by occupation but a few years since had the misfoi tune to become ciippled for life by an accident with a Haivester, since which time he has been entiiely unable to pei form the manual labor necessary for the operation of a farmer but is still able and competent toperfoun the cler ical duties necessary for the office of Register of Deeds. And we would most earnestly recommend him to the favorable notice of our fellow-citizens tluoughout the county when in Con vention assembled. H. J. Ludlow, C. B. Moore, Heniy Davis, Rev. D. Stone, J. Ciaft, J. llansberger, S. M. Smith, D. J. Stone, H. F. White, J. Ulveling, A. B. Bennett, T. Ulveling, W. M. Stokes, A. L. Haggard, C. L. Clemmoiis, M. Kaiser, C. E. Chase, A. A.

Fake^ .ARWFULt A special to the Chicago Tribune says: It is reported that Queen Victoria, Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Argyle are all investigators of spuitu ahstic phenomena, and it is fuither more said the Piincess Beatrice is a very fine medium. "Investigators of Spiiitualistic Phe nomena!" Cm such thing3 be, andseveralg overcome us like a Summer cloud with out a special howl? The head of the English nation and the Established investigating spiiitualistic phenomenal Turn her out of the church. Don't let her come to Woi-steps thington and spend the Summer. Al so the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Argyle! Well, the last time we took dinner with the Prince and the Duke, we thought they looked a little wild out of the eyes. We can tell a man of that kind in & crowd by the wild look out of his eyes and his hair. They must either be humbugs or have very soft spots in their heads. And then to think that Gladstone, Pi of. Cox, Dr. Crowell, Dr. Hare, Dr. McFall, and lots of other scientific men should in vestigate such a preposterosity! Where is this ridiculosity to end? Let's call 'em Free Lovers. MINOR ARRIVALS. At the residence of C. P. Shepard, a few days ago, a boy. On Wednesday, Sept. 5th, at the resi dence of R. W. Miller, across the lake, a daughter. Tally one more for the Millers who are gaining on the Smiths rapidly. We regret that we did not hear soon er the arrival of a fine boy at the resi dence of J. W. Millington of Summit Lake. This arrival arrived several weeks ago. Dr. Churchill, of Indian Lake, tells us how to put up potatoes to keep the year round. Take coarse lake sand, spread it out and dry thoioughly, then provide store bojees, put in a layer of sand, and then a layer of potatoes and so on. Box up and put in cellar or some other place where they will not freeze and remain dry. They will keep as long as wanted. B. R. Prince brings us some speci mens of Improved King Philip corn grown from seed received from the Ag ricultural Department at Washington. Mr. P. claims that this variety ripens 10 days earlier than most vaiieties. Mr.Eastern P. also says: Tell farmers not to hang their seed corn up in thegrainery. For some reason, it seems to destroy the vi tality of the corn. Jas. Marden, of Summit Lake, brings us a beet with which to beat Mr. Doane's beet. It measures two feet and one inch from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail. He also brings us a cabbage stalk with ahead as big as our own, and a turnip 21 inohes in circumference. Mr. Jonathan Ames, of -Worthing ton, has just returned from northeast-reflecton ern Iowa after purchasing 3,000 sheep whieh arenow on the way to Worthing ton. Nobles county-is well adapted to this branch of husbandry and the day is not very far distant when the wool clip will form no inconsiderable item of revenue in that county,—Rock Co. Herald, COUNTY NEWS. SEWARD. Farmers busy threshing. T. Bloom has threshed and his yield of wheat is a little over.24 bushels to the acre. Wm. Brown laised 210 bushelsof wheat on 10 acres, just 21 bushels to the acre. B. F. Johnson raised 30 bushels of peas per acre. OLNEY. Jos.1. Farmers threshing generally. Tarbert had 855 bushels of wheat, 211 bushels of barley and 167 of oats. His wheat was Fife and averaged about 17i to the acre. J. T. McKnight had 85 acres of wheat which yielded 576 bush els, a little over 16 bushels to the acre. Farmers are ready to jump into plow ing the moment haying is over and in tend to plow and sow every foot brok en. SUMMIT LAKE. The farmers of this town will prob ably put up more hay to the population than any other town. Threshing not begun yet. Somefarmers plowing. C. Dana has just finished quite a job of plowing for Samuel Alien, who is now absent in Wisconsin. B. W. Pope has a fine Durham calf now several months old, fiom the celebrated stock of Hall Brothers, of Martin county. Mr. Dana has a 1 Durham Bull. Oth er farmeis are working into stock. I. L. Wass has returned from Sioux1 City, and will begin plowing at once. lie says there is no country like this. RECEIPTS ON SUBSCRIPTION. Below we give receipts on subscrip tion for August. Now that farmers are begining to maiket their grain, we shall expect large receipts for the fall months. If we do not get them we are very much mistaken in the farmers of Nobles County. By all means, at all hazaids, beyond all pieadventure, drop in when you come to town and pay the ADVANCE: 7 50iECWhlte 1 00 1 N Waiden 160 E Bedford CaptJ W Smith A Hatch W Miller It Biaden 100 John Saxson 2 00A Jos Stone 50 A ltobinson 1 90r Chestei Conk ing 60 oidon 1 00 1 oo John llansberger 2 00 Meyei 1 0 UN Emerson 2o5 Suirlev 1 00 Jos Hyland 1 00 It Barber 2 00 W Chute 60 S Funk 2 00D E Bateman 1 00Mrs JuACas 2 00J Bsv Lewis 2 00Isaac Graves & Hubbard 1 00 MJIIS EDistad 1 6o Foidney 2 00 number 1 00 Hoi ton 50 04115 DISTRICT CONVENTIONS. The Repiesentative Convention foi this distiict is called to meet at Heron Lake, on Wednesday, Oct. 3d. The Senatorial Convention is called to meet at Windom on Tuesday, Oct. 2d. Nobles county is entitled to six delegates in each Convention. We will publish the calls in full in our next issue. Four new subscribers yesterday and other days in proportion. It does beat all how the people are withdrawing their names from—the Ring organ, and putting them on our list, "at the close of the volume," taking advantage ot the close of the volume, you know, to "i un us out." "Them" invisible spir its, you see, must be canvassing the county for us. We see by the Chicago dailies that Spencer, president of the State saving Bank of that city, who lan away with hundred thousand dollars be longin to depositors, made an assign ment of the concern to Abner Taylor, the man to whom Prof. Ilumiston claims to have sold that immense tiact of laihoadSand last year. At a meet ing of thedepositoisa lesolution was adopted recommending that immediate be taken to secure the removal of Taylor and that Long John Wentwoith be appointed receiver in his stead. It was chaiged against Taylor that he withheld all knowledge of the assign ment with the intention of allowing Spencei to escape.—Journal. We have not thought it worth while to reply to the lies and slanders of the Ring organ concerning ourself, but we have made it a point to defend our best citizens and the best friends of this community from its infamous attacks. The gentleman who is endeavoring to bring an English colony to this county, of which Messrs. Sugden and Giissell are the forerunners, is Mr. F. C. Tay lor, of Chicago, and not Abner Taylor, as the infamous Journal well knows. Yet because Mr. Taylor once made a land trade with Pi of. Ilumiston, the disreputable Journal keeps on misrep resenting and slandering him. We acknowledge the receipt of a ticket to the 2d fair of the Blue Earth Valley Blood Stock Association, to be held at Winnebago City beginning Sept. 20. NOBLES AND ROCK. Six samples of wheat fiom Nobles county aie on exhibition at the State Fair. Rock county is represented by a character like this:^). Enterpiising, isn't it?—Rock Co. Heiald. On Fi iday of last week, Mr. Ames, of Woi thington, passed through town with a flock of sheep numbering 2,700, which he purchased in noithern Iowa and southern Minnesota. He takes them to Jackson and Nobles counties where he has several large farms.— Martin Co. Sentinel.

A Pennsylvanian has taught a ca nary bird to sing "Home Sweet Home" in this way: He placed the canary in a room where it could not hear the sing ing of other birds, suspended its cage from the ceiling, so that it could see its in a mirror, and beneath the glass placed a musical box that was regulated to play no other but "Home Sweet Home." Hearing noother sound but this, and believing the music pro ceeded from the bird it saw in thedealing minor, the young canary soon began to catch the notes, and finally got so that it sings the tune perfectly.
