County fair at Dover Falls reflects countywide interest and indifference

The North Western Union Agricultural Society held its annual fair at Dover Falls midweek with fine weather. St Croix County contributed most exhibits while local participation was limited. The grounds at River Falls featured a seven acre enclosure, stalls for livestock and horses, an art department with prize paintings, and a Ladies’ room with music and fine needlework on display.

National Democracy in the South over Kansas policy

A late 19th century letter reflects Southern Democratic stance on Kansas admission and the Lecompton Constitution. It argues for strict compliance with the 93 000 population rule, condemns Republican moves to admit Kansas as a free state, and criticizes Northern Democrats for urging repeal. The piece contrasts Dunn and Washburne on slavery and national polity, framing a national versus sectional divide.
