Robert I. Thomas, Editor
Won't Answer
The editor of the Dubuque Herald refuses to
answer the question we have put to him - inquiring whether he is,
or is not a "citizen of the United States." To avoid
answering he is resorting to subterfuge - this will not do
Dennis, you cannot, consistently, with your past course, avoid
satisfying the public mind in regard to your claims to
citizenship.
State Fair at Fairfield.
There is every prospect that the first State Fair to be
held at Fairfield on the 25th day of October next, will be
creditable to the State. We have occasion to know that stock will
be present for exhibition from the most remote parts of the
State. Pottawatamie, Dubuque and Jackson counties will be
represented by Morgan and Clydesdale horses, and counties not so
distant will be represented by horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs of
as good a quality and of as aristocratic pedigrees as can be
found anywhere.
We learn the Fairfielders are making arrangements for a large
gathering; and they may do so. We venture the prediction that it
will proote the vital interests of the state to a greater extent
that any assembly ever convened in the State. Every live farmer
who can possibly be present will be there. - Iowa Farmer

Hardin.
We are informed by Mr. Joseph Collins of Hardin that
this place is improving some, and that a number of houses will be
built there this fall. We understand also that the stock
necessary for building a steam mill is taken, and we believe the
proprietors are prepared to go on with the work. Hardin has a
beautiful situation, and is surrounded by a first rate country,
which is fast settling up with enterprising farmers. We have no
doubt but a steam mill there will prove a most profitable
investment. - Clayton Co. Herald
