Pope County Items.


/ THE FAle.-We feel much delighted to an
, nounce to our readers that the Pope County
Agricultural Fair was a complete succt g.
We were surprised to see such display of fine
! stock OF all kinds; but on visiting the shed we
were much more surprised to see the great va
riety OF goods in the place, and garments of
all kinds, beautifully ornamented with needle
work, crotchet work and embroidery. The
drawings, paintings, agricultural and the
wreaths would be an ornament to any drawing
room in the country. In the next aisle of the
| she'd we had presented the agricultural pro-
ducts of the county. We felt assured that
! Pope county could raise her own provisions,
and, jud,5i from the nice loaves of bread that
| lay before lis, we have women in the country
that can prepare them IN wholesome and
! palatabls manner
! The display of trottng and pacing horses
| showed that we have stock in the country
which would do credit to any community. The

Poetry mud Proc.


j. ID. Ardinger last week came out
with an advertisement, half prose
half poetry, but all relating to cheap
Boots and--cash. Having noticed Q
very fine pair that just suited us, we
thought we would secure them before
they were all gone. AS we were
about to leave the shop with our pur-
chase, Mr.. A, gently reminded us
that he was not joking in relation to
the cash system, on the contrary
quite the reverse. Whercupon we in
dignantly inquired his hill at the
same time drawing our wallet. just
then recollecting that we had received
nothing on subscription since paying
our paper bill, we dejectedly returned
the wallet to its place, and the boots
to their owner, and returned to- wait
like Micawbcr, "for something to
turn up. Read the advertisement,
and then see what you can do for us.

Money Orders.

In answer to the many questions
regarding the money order system,
we would say that it is intended to
promote public convenience and in
sure safety in the transfer through
the mails of small sums of money
The mode by which safety is secured
consists in leaving out OF the order,
the name Of the payee, or party for
whom the money is intended. In
this respect, money order differs
from an ordinary bank draft or check.
An advice or notification containing
full particulars of the order is trans
mitted by the issuing post, master to
the postmaster at the Office Of pay
ment. The letter is thus furnished,
before the order itself can be present.

to detect fraud, if any should be at

While passing along the street the
other evening, we overheard little
conversation between two small boys,
some of the remarks we thought were
rather pointed. II appears that one
of the boys was trying to explain the
causes OF the Aurora Borealis, which
ut that time was lighting up the north
ern heavens. The boy receiving the
explanations stood with mouth WIDE
open catching every word until the
other made some statement which
tho little fellow though. absurd, made
the remark, al can't see it-you don't
