The Oskaloosa Independent , Jefferson County, Saturday, October 11, 1873 October 11, 1873
There was a notable abscence of disorderly drunkeness and lawlessness at the
Fair. We heard of no arrests.

Grady's balloon man accomplished his feat successfully the other night, landing
about three-quarters of a mile north of town, near the timber.

The gross receipts at the Fair were $766.73, which will pay all expenses except
those occured by repairing the groudns, which will be met by the stockholders.
The result is satisfactory, and encourages hope that the Jefferson county Fairs
will soon become what they should be.

Like the 'Grasshopper', we would rather candidates would not say, "We will make
it all right!", when handing in their announcements. The cash would be more
acceptable.
