50 For few years past. the farmers Of
Rose county have had no County Agricul
tural Fair. We notice by last weeks Ga
Seete that Fairs are again to become fash
ionable in old Ross, aud that the Agrioul-
tural Society have leased for five years the
Keith Grove and the Race Course, for use
as a County Fair Ground This is wise
choice Of location.
- The eoIored people Of Chillicothe had
fne celebration and display few day
since, in honor Of the adoption Of the 18th
or Suffrage Amendment to the United
States Constitution.
"A few years since property owners in
Chillieothe had to let their tenement
houses stand unoccupied for want Of ten
ants. Now it is difficult to obtain q resi-
dence on account Of the supply being short
Of the demand. That is an evidence Of
prosperity in the old Capital.
- Somebody on the night before the col
Ored folks were to ratify the 18th Amend
ment in Chillicothe, spiked the cannon
that b,longed TO tho city. The e,l)red
folks, however, were not to be foiled in
their purposes, and went to work and TN
spiked the gun, and had roaring good
time. This argument against colored sui.
frage is Of the same character Of the rotten
egg argument that used t. be brought TO
bear against abolition lecturers, some 35 or
40 years since.
- Since tho 18th Amendment has been
adopted, it has become a Disgrace for q
pure unsophistioated Democrat in the
sweet scented little town Of Macarthur, IN
Vinton county, to be shaved by colorod
barber, and the Democratic motto there Is,
iuhits Jorbdrs or none, and in accordance
with this pEilanthropic sentiment, the
Macarthur Enquirer Dem cratic, publishes
the following notice;
