Death of Mr.. Noah Evans.

Below we publish from the Hillsboro
News of the 27th ult.. a notice of the
death of Mr. Evans. He was several
years since a resident of this county,
and was well known by many of the
old citizens Of our county who will re
glet to learn Of his death. He was
the father of our fellow citizen, Mr.
Newton Evans:
'dMr Moan EVANS, one of the oldest and
most respectable citizens of this place, died
in Warrensburg, Mo-, on the 18th inst, af-
ter short illness. He left home only a
few weeks ago, in his usual health and wig
or which. were remarkable for his age to
pay visit to some relatives in Missoeri
and while there, after enjoying their socie-
ty for a short time, he was suddenly strick
en- with the sickness which proved fatal, in
spite of the best medical attendance and
nursing.
His remains were brought home last Sat
urday, and the funeral services took place
on Sunday morning in the Presbyterian
Church, which was crowded. Service.
were dispensed with in the NJ E. Church
ont of respect to the deceased, and the pas
lOI, MI. MdI1cy, pdEliCl paIcu III Cne cXeFclS
es of the mournfnl occasion.
Mr.. Evans belonged to one of the oldes
families in this county, his father, Judg
Richard Evans, having removed with hi
family to Kentucky from Fayette county
Pa, in 1880, and settled in Highland coun
ty in 1900. His son Noah was born il
August 1875, and was therefore in his 76tl
year at the time of his death. He had bee,
a member of the Presbyterian Churc
from early manhood, and for the last thirt
years was an elder in the church in thi
place, and one of its most active and HbeI
al members. In his death, it may be trul
said, that not only his family and the churc
have sustained a great loss, but also th
community in which he lived. In all work
: of Christian charity and benevolence he wa
ever among the foremost, and his infiuenc
was always on the side of order religion an
morality. In the late rebellion he was or
of the firmest supporters of the Cove II
! ment and gave freely of his means and h
e best efforts in the cause Of his country
f After an impressive and appropriate Sc
mon by Rev. Mr.. McSurely, prayer by Re
Mr.. Marlay, and brief and feeling euloe
3 on the deceased by his brother elder Hon
0 +. Hibben, the remains were conveyed
, the Cemetery, followed by long train
sorrowing relatives and friends Truly m:
it be said "a good man has fallen'' and ol
whose lass will long be felt in our commu1
ty."

Quite number of our people are attend

It is the desire of our Republican friends
to have a political mass meeting at this
place, sometime during the campaign. Hon.

al, can probably be secured as one Of the
speakers, and if our neighboring counties
of Ross and Fayetts viii join us, we think

The AgricuItura1 Fair.

On the first page of this paper, we pub
Iish the premium list for the Agricultural
Fair. The premiums are aboit as liberal
and numerous as those offered in neighbOr-
ing counties, and the attractions will not be
less. The Directors have made valuable
additions to the grounds, and many changes
have been made that will make it much
more convenient and comfortable for those
who attend. No pains is being spared by
our efficient Board of Directors to make
the Fair complete success; and we think
we can promise our readers that they may
rely upon finding every thing in complete
order, and meet with kind treatment by
hope to see large number in attend
ance-larger than usual-as the addition
| that has been made to the grounds will ac-
commodate more than has ever yet been
| in attendance. Come on, and let the farm
ers of our own, and adjoining counties,
have general good time, and a reunion
that shall make glad the hearts of all.
Since the above was written, we have
been out to the Fair Grounds, where we
found large force of workmen busily en-
ployed in erecting new stalls, and other
cOnveniencies for the better accommoda-
ton of stock, persons, &C., that may be up
on the grounds during the Fair. Since the
last annual Fair the Directors have bought
six acres of land, which they bave added
to their grounds, and enclosed the whole
with new fence. The seats that were
formerly in the ring have been removed tc
the north side, and the ring enlarged, max.
ing very handsome improvement in thi.
particular. The old dingy hall has beer
torn away, and very nice one built OF
, much better ground; additional wells hav1
been dug, and other improvements made tt
the grounds that give the place differen
, and much improved appearance.
With the additions that have been mad
r to the grounds, and the improvements tina
s have been made in the stables and stalls
we think the Fair will be much NOR
pleasant and comfortable place to visit, d
we'll as to exhibit stock and articles brough
in to compete for prizes. More effort
: being exerted to make this the grandes
and most profitable Fair, to all who ma
choose to come, that has ever been held
this county. IL

CompetEtion needed.

We hear good deal of complaint about
the manner in which matters were conduct
ed at what, was called the Boarding tent at
the camp ground, at the late camp meeting
held on the De Witt camp grounds The
complaint IS, that the accommodations were
very Indifferent, and not sufficiently furn-
ished, and the prices charged was enor-
nous, and was anything but in accordance
with Christian principles and fair dealing;
and the miscellaneous opinion fully ex-
pressed about this Boarding tent was that
it was simply 3 shaving shop, permitted to
be so by giving to one man the exclusive
monopoly of Cpretending) furnishing all
the edibles and accommodations inside OF
within a certain distance of the camp
grounds.
We presume those who had the manage
ment of the camp ground thought they
were doing the best thing they could by
granting Mr.. King, of Circleville, the ex-
elusive right to sell to and feed the multi
tude, but it does seem to us that some
thing should be learned by experience,
and experience teaches that competition in
feeding the multitude at camp meeting is
about as necessary as it is at any other as
semblage, in order to make prices lower
Competition is great regulator of prices
and we hope that our Methodist friends, al
their next camp meeting will grant ne one
man exclusive privileges inside their camp
grounds. Exclusive privileges are sure tt
become dangerous monopolies, and if pub
lie rumor is not base SANDER the exclu
sive privilege granted out there this, anc
last year was taken advantage of pretty
| efectually.
