Illinois stare Fair Grounds.
CENrRALIA, Marion County, ILL.,, !
Scptcm )cr 18th, 1853. {

Gtp'cu lcT IJtlI, 1898.
EDITOR JouRyAL:-The sixth annual fair
of this State commenced yesterday The
fair grounds are situated one mile and half
north Of the town, on the line of the Hi
noiS Central Railroad and comprises twenty
four acres of wood land in the enclosure
The preparations in tents for the depart
ments on exhibition, business Offices, &c,
have been planned with great care, and at a
cost OF over $4,000; liberal portion of
which expense is provided for Icy an APP
preparation from the State. For strict syS-
tenn and the most exact method i'm every de-
partmcnt Of the business, the officers of this
fair have shown an unusual share of pract-
cal wisdom.
Yesterday being The FIRST day, was princi-
pally occupied by exhibitors in making Gu
tries, which reached, up TO O'Clock, to over
fifteen hundred Over sixty car loads of
stock came in on the Central yesterday, and
to-day about half that number
In cattle, il is generally conceded, this
! Fair is eXcelled hy none other ever held in
the West. Very few of the cattle come
| from abroad, there being none from Ken
lucky or Indiana, and very few from Mis-
| souri,. This state Of the case, in itself, shows
the rapid advances making in the Prairie
! State in this branch of business.
The number of horses is large, but ger.
orally Indifferent in quality. Tomorrow
being horse day, will dcvclope further as to
the showing of horses.
The Floral Department is wholly out of
the question, there being no display at
tempted.
Notwithstanding the boosted adaptation
of the State TO the culture of fruit, the
showing is mcagre enough
The Art Department is not at all crcdita-
bic to the taste Of the people.
! In every kind of mocha ical implements
adapted to the farming interest this fair ex-
GELS. There is nothing wanting in that de-
tains TO that most useful brand of industrial
employment.
The cattle awards have been made to-day
but as there are no contributions from your
State, do not forward them.
Yesterday morning, just as the trains met
at 0din, station about five miles distant
from Centralia, Charles Scott, station agent
at the first named place, cut his throat from
ear to ear and died in twenty minutes there
after. Cause, some alleged developement
calling into question the virtue of his wife
and daughter-so rumor has it.
To-day, Mrs. Emily Talbot, of Nashville
ILL.,. while sitting on the seats in the ring
came down to the ground with crash, and
fractured her leg between the ankle and the
knee.
Among the pleasant features of the Fail
is the Editors Tent, which is a sort of socia
exchange for the craft who are in attend
ance. 1t is regretted that Indiana has nc
representation here, though she is within SC
rally reach.
/ Fun, frolic, work and talk are strangely
; intermiSed in the rough hive filled with
, people whose mission IL seems To be to labol

Eg- Our Democratic brethren OF the
State have been tremendously exercises
recently in consequence of the marriage a.
Ripon of Moses Murray. an African,to Mis-
Story, French girl. The Rev. D. b.
Parsons, who performed the ceremony and
the editor of the Ripon TIMES, who pub
Iished the marriage without abusing any
person concerned in it, come In for an I'M
usual share of denunciation, and lndeed,th
in,licnant virtue of our friends has become
so strong that theReverend gentleman per-
forming the ceremony has been arrested
and carried to Fond du Lacon charge OF
iIiegali.y connected with the marriage
The last Ripon TINES explains the matter
il saws. Moses Murray is not, as stated, a
six-foot, shiny, black negro, but only part
African. The girl was esteemed by all
present to be Qiaarooa, and no intlna-
ton was made that she was full blood
white girl, and she was not. supposed 10 be
white and the minister who married the
parties Instead of being roaring abolition
isr. AS has been stated, is a Democrat
We trust our Democratic friends, who are
the enthusiastic admirers of the peculiar
institution" under which such unnatural
are exceedingly comnon,and
who boast Of once having Vice President
of the U. States, who VIGOROUSLY had a
black wife and mulatlo daughters, will not
