risidly prohibited, and while under both
rebels are not allowed to vote, both leave it

mer, however, made out lists of those he was
unwilling should vote, and placed those lists
in the hands of military officers, who, with
file of soldiers, forcibly prevented the pro-
scribed from appearing at the polls. Hun.
dreds of men who had served in the union
armies were on those lists, whose loyalty had
never been doabted, and whose only crime
was their suspected democracy. The outrage
was so gross in some districts that republi-
cans and democrats alike left the polls in dis
gust, declining to vote.

Our readers should remember that the
county fair will be held in about one month
the last week in September-and we hope
that there will be better exhibition and a
greater number in attendance than ever
before.
The premium list is the largest ever offered
some 81 400; the floral hall has been
greatly enlarged and improved; the track is
in capital order; and, in fact, everything
which the energetic officers can do has OF
will be done to make the Fair successful
one.
Every farmer who has anything at all
worthy in the way of stock or products,
every mechanic or manufacturer who has
anything sell, should not fail to exhibit,
remembering that, by so doing, he adds to
his reputation as successful producer, and
that, as an advertisement, nothing can be
better than an exhibition at the County
Fair.
We hope, also, that the ladies, with their
accustomed enterprise, will completely
crowd their department, and make their part
of the exhibition not only creditable to
themselves, but also to the county, as they
may and, doubtless, will do.
Finally, let everybody attend, whether he
has anything to show or not, and make the
Fair. as it ought to be, one universal holiday
throughout the county.
