PoCKE DICTIONARY.-Weoster's

is a great improvement over all prevl-
Gus editions and all similar works. In
the first place it is neatly printed, and
bound in mo, occo, with gilt edges
Then it contains 200 pictorial illustra-
tions. which give much clearer idea
of the many words than could possibly
be conveyed by the usual definition
The little volume, while being no larg-
er than an ordinary pocket-book, en-
braces in its vocabulary careful selec-
tion OF over Is, 900 Of the most import
ant words of the language, with definl-
ticns sufficiently clear, though necessa-
riIy brief, to meet the ordinary wants
of any one requiring its use. Prefxed
to the work are tables of money, weight
and measure, authorizations, words and
phrases from foreign languages, rules
for spelling, explanations, etc. 1t Is in
fact s most valuable little book, and is
doubly worth the dollar it costs. 1t is

THE RELMONT FAIR.

Fairs have of late years became SO
much alike that it has become COM
mon saying, ''to attend one Fair is to
attend ALL" Agricultural Fairs have
degeneraIed into mere horse races, and
instead of being held to encourage the
farmer to raise large squashes, and fine
sheep and hogs, and choice dairy pro-
ducts, they arc held to encourage
sporting class of community in the
ownership of fast horses. We do not
object to good and fast horses, but as
soon as they are the only thing to be
shown at a Fair, then it loses what
should be It's distinctive characteristics,
and should not be palmed on as agri-
cultural. Belmont, in addition to their
fast horses had much else to encourage
the community in laudable agricultural
enterprise. We were not satisfied with
the quantity of farm products on exhi-
bition. We know that any good farm
house around the town Of Belmont
could have furnished at least greater
variety. This department should be
looked after by the managers, another
year.
THE HALL.
Here the visitor met something at
tractive. During the last day it was
thronged, as it richly deserved to be.
The display of fruit, though not in
large quantities, was of fine quality.
We noticed that from the Morrison
Nursery as being luxurious.
The grapes from Solomon Hogue's were
among the finest we have ever seen,
the punches were very large and heavy
and the flavor delicious. The Hall was
well filed with articles useful and
fancy. Much credit is due to the good
ladies by whose taste it was adorned.
The hog, cattle and sheep bureaus
were not large, but the specimens that
were on exhibition were creditable.
Friday, people thronged the grounds.

The chief attraction was the trotting
sweepstakes race, won by horse,

"Gold Dust" coming in second. The
race being very close, it excited much
interest.
The Pacing sweepstakes was taken
by "Bernum," owned by John Gregg.
The officers, Pres. Holloway and
Sec. McCaffrey, and the Board Of Man

Danford and his efficient aid DR.. Voor-

labor in behalf of the visiting public,
and for the general good management
and success of the Fair.

MEMPHIS TENNESSEE, Sept. %, W.
Dear Chronicle After a hot, dusty
and wearisome trip through several
Southern States, I find myself comfort
ably ensconced in this pleasant city. In
December, 1867, I spent several days
here, but the changes occurring since
have been so great that l hardly recog-
nized it as the same place. 1t wears
quite business aspect under the in
coming crop Of cotton and from the
vast amount of the staple appearing in
the cotton gins, warehouses on the
streets, depots, steamboats,, in fact On
every side, no matter which way the
stranger turns, we may conclude the
crop will be an immense one. was
struck while travelling through Alabama
and Mississippi with the great abund-
ance of cotton. planted and now in
prime condition for picking and with
the almost entire absence Of pickers.
Occasionally few women and children
were at work while the great majority
of the fields were destitute OF laborers.
AS am limited in time wish in this
letter to speak more particularly Of a
certain political matter leaving general
subjects to the future. The great efforts
to Be made in these cotton States by
the whites so far as have seen, is to
secure Congressman Of their own faith
and ideas. While all will vote for
Greeley and 80 far as effort permits will
give him the electoral vote Of every
southern State, yet there is not that
concentration upon him that is found
upon the subject Of Congress. A grand
welcome was given rebel General
Cheatham last Saturday night by the
Memphis citizens. He is the regular
Democratic nominee for Congressman
at large and the burden of the many
speeches was "we must secure our best
men for Congress" While am of the
opinion that President johnson will
succeed as independent Congressman at
large, vet, the result to us of the North
is the same, in that the South will have
as a representative q most able uncom-
promising advocate of all her extreme
and ultra views upon all questions of
national or local bearing.
| Now, what / wish to say is this: 1t
lis the imperative duty of the North to
send to Congress her ablest men. Men
qualified in all respects to cope with
ISucn db JOUuSOn, IL HUI III uoDdOC w
match and beat him in superior watch
| fulness, work in COMMITTEES and devo-
ton to local interests involved. We
should under no circumstances what
ever, send men disposed to temporize
with the South and thereby sacrifice our
Northern interests, But rather earnest,
intense advocates ofand believers in the
supremacy of the North. I am q be-
lliever In our supremacy. While
while an opponent Of all military laws,
ETC., yet, lam devout believer in oul
present moral power through our abil.
Iity in Congress, and do not wish it LOST
Through the election now Of incompe
tent and unworthy men. I believe
further, that in our nominee, Capt
lDanford, we have one, who though in
Experienced will take with him int
Congress an uncompromising devotion

HOLD THEM TO THEIR
RECORD.
No Defense to Offer.

For some time past we have beer
publishing exhibits, showing the result
Of Democratic ascendancy in this Coun
ty. We have given facts and figures
which without any words of adornmen
or explanation on our part, are sufh
cient to fasten upon the party in power
in this County during the past foul
years, extravagance, mismanagemen'
and corruption of the most outrageou;
character. These facts still stand unss
sailed and unassailable. We have de
manded of the Democratic organ an ex'
PLANTATION or refutation of the charges
made. We have stated that the records
from which these exhibits are taken,
are open to the examination OF any
one who desires to know whether they
are true or not. No attempt to refute
them has been made public, and none
ever will be, unless it be similar in
character to the gross perusal assaults
upon Auditor Longley and Judge Car
roll which are SO ably refuted in anoth-
er column. The editor of the Gazette
vainiy endeavors to call away the at
tention of the people from the facts.
That is the meaning Of his scurrillous
article of last week in which he claims
that a Democratic Board Of Commits
sioncrs and Democratic auditor allowed
too much pay for work done by work
done by two Republicans. He knew
they received none too much for the
work they did; but if they were allowed
more than enough what kind OF recon-
mendation is that for the continuance
of his party in Office. Every one OF
those Commissioners were Democrats,
and Mr.. Armstrong their present can
didate was one of them. Now what
other attempt does the editor OF the
Gazette make to defend his party, what
other attempt to refute our charges or
explain away the exhibits which con-
tain the dark and damning evidence OF
the guilt of his party's management in
Belmont County-none whatever. He
makes no denial-he knows their truth
as well as any man. We again print
these statements, and ask every one to
read them carefully. They arc true.
Read and know what sort of reform
these ring managers mean. One year
ago on the eve of an election these same
men sent out from this place secret
circular which stated that Belmont
County's debt was but SO, 600, and that
it would all be wiped out in December,
as the money had been levied to pay it.
That circular was false from beginning
to end, and they knew it, for two and a
half months later when Republican
Auditor took charge, our debt was over
s137, 600. People of Belmont County,
beware of these untruthful, lying state
ments, thrust upon you on the eve of an
election. We have placed the facts
before you month ago, and no refuta-
tion has been attempted. We have in.
vited an investigation. The books Of
the Auditor has been open to the editor
OF the Gozette or any other man, and nc
attempt has been made to deny the
truth of our statements. 1t is fair and
reasonable to conclude that no success
full reply can be made, and that any 4t.
tempt at the same on the eve of the
election, or at any other time, will be q
tissue of lies and mis-statements manu-.
factured expressly for an electioneering
dodge.

AcOMpLEyE DEFENCE OF

A charge is made in last weeks Ga
zette to the effect that Judge Carroll
made and received an exorbitant charge
for making book during his former
term, as Probate Judge, and we have
been requested, in justice to Mr.. Carroll
to make statement of our knowledge
of the facts:
About December, 1869, we were noti-
fed that we had been appointed by
the Commissioners, committee to ex-
anime a General Index which had
been prepared by Judge CarISa and
some Clerks employed by him for the
Probate Office, and report our opinion
as to its value:
We did make thorough examina-
ton, and came to the conclusion that
the work was worth 5000, and so re-
ported in writing to the Commissioners:
the work as we ascertained required a
great deal of research, care and skill,
and the aidaof two clerks for some
months. 1t is of great value to the
County, containing in a convenient
shape history of the estate of every
person whose estate has been admins
tered on in Belmont County since its
organization in 1902. Judge Carroll
presented no account to us for his SER
vices, but we were and are stillsatisfied
that the work was great necessity to
the County and fully worth the amount
he received. d. D. T. CowEN,
st. CLAIR KELLY,
r. J. ALEXANDER.
The above certificate was presented
to the editor Of the Gazette for publica'
ton and he refused to do so.
The editor when he published the
slander intended to deceive the people
and still persists in it.

for honesty"
