A CARD.

/ wish to correct the misstatements
made by J. H. Close IN the CHRONICLE
|ef the 18th ult. 1st. The denial of the
charge to rule out my horse because he
was under the saddle, is false; for proof
of which / refer the reader to Thomas
Mitchell, ID. Steenrod and S. Campbell.
2nd. Mr.. J. II. Close states that all the
drivers complained of Hoge for foul
riding. This is again false; to the proof
of which Mr.. J. T. Woodmanseea and T..
Swaney, the two drivers referred to
have authorized me to use their names.
Sd. w. S. Close was ordered to pass me
on the inside for want of room on the
outside. To pass on the inside he was
obliged to cross the turf, for evidence
of which 1 refer to Thomas Mitchell
ard J. S. Bethel. / also will state here
Article 4th in the printed rules and
regulations governing class F. During
| the contest, no horse shall be permitted
to pass another, except on the outside
of the track, and the leading horse shall
be entitled to choice of track at all
times.' wish simply to correct the false
statements of Mr.. j. II. Close in as few
words as possible, and there will be nc
attention paid to any more false state.

statements made by J. B. Hoge.

VA YNE TO WNSHLP LOCALS.

Farmers in this section have been
busily engaged saving fodder and to-
bacco. Many of them, however, found
time to attend the Fair of the season at
Barnesville.
Our community has lost an old and
esteemed member in the person of Mrs.
Geo. Shipman, of Captina, who was
called away on the night of the 27th,-
an affectionate mother, 6 confiding wife,
and devout Christian. She has gone
to her reward. All deeply sympathize
with the bereft family.
There is not much excitement here in
politics. Republicans working and ex-
pecting a victory. Liberals not very
sanguine, their enthusiasm abating

like the Col. to come again.

CADfZ FAIR.

In our wing around the circle, we
touched at Cadiz during the Fair last
week. Cadiz enjoys the reputation Of
knowing how to have fair, and this
year it did not fall much below its
usual standard. All the departments
were well filed except the Floral Hail.
and that was sthin' in the strictest sense
of the term. We readily perceived
that the good ladies of Cadiz and vicin-
itv had been derelict in trusting the
decoration and management Of the
Hall to the sterner sex. We insist
that Floral Hall to be success must
be under the supervision of ladies, and
so soon as they lose their interest in it,
so soon it may be abolished, and the
community saved the chagrin which
follows failure. The Agricultural Hall
was creditable, and the display of Ag-
ricultural implements and machinery
more than ordinarily complete.
The stock Department was credit to
the County. There was IS classes OF
sheep. We noticed the Red Ribbon
on a number of Burgettstown sheep,
and also on the fine buck owned by
our friend Jamison of Harrison Co.
Cadiz deserves to Ego head" on sheep.
The hog and cattle pens were well and
filed. The horse show was
first rate. The Sweeney mare of this
County took the red, and Woodmansee
the blue ribbons, ON first trotting. The
Pacing race was taken by "Jenny Lind"
of Jefferson County.
Now we admit our partiaiity for
pumpkins and squashes and mention
the fact that we noticed a pumpkin
which weighed 1lO lbs, and a squash
weighing about 80 lbs. Harrison County
evidently knows something about
squashes. The Cadiz band furnished
the music on the first and second days,
and were assisted by our st. Clairsville
boys on the last day. All in all. Cadiz
Fair was a success. The attendance
was very large and everybody was
pleased.
A number of "salubrious individ-
uals found lodging in the Jail, and
Mayor Lupton allowed them to contri-
butte literally to the town fund.
Officers, managers and Maishais,
deserve credit for the general good
management and success of the fair.

GAINESVILLE FAIR.

After many perils an, 1elays by land
we found ourselves, on the last day of
grace, within the enclosure of the great
District Fair at GAINESVILLE. Our edito-
rial eye was not slow in discerning that
there was an immense crowd in attend
ance, and to say that everybody was
pleased, would be but slight express
sion of the intense delight of all.
After passing the sentinels atthe outer
wall, we was ushered into sort of a
fairy circle, abounding in everything to
please the eye and cultivate the taste.
In the centre of this Floral Hall
was beautiful collection of flowers,
arranged in pyramidal form, theil

Around this was arranged the orna.
mental and useful: Here is the trans,
parent and delicious jellies, the
sparkling native wines; here the rich
tinted life-like canned fruit, and there
golden-yellow butter here choice large
punches OF catawbas, and there great
apples and pears; here the grand con-
lception of the artists brush, there the
genuine reflection upon the camera
here fancy embroidery by gentle fingers
wrought, there the music of the organ
by nimble fingers touched,-and SO on,
ad igtnituns.
Agricultural Hall was well filed with
farm products, and made creditable
show.
Thesheep, cattle and hog department
were not such as to impress stranger
favorably.
The horse show was good. The pac
ing race was won by 'Barnum, +" and
the trotting by Frank Harlan"
The total number of entries was L ,225:
800 in the Stock Department; 225 Agri-
cultural, and 700 in Floral Hail.
One feature in the arrangements we
commend to all Fair managers, and
that is, that everything was in its
proper place.
The Fair was well differed and mar
shaIled; the best Of order prevailed
drunken people were scarce.
We pronounce the display success.

CAPTINA LOCALS.

CAPTINA, Sept. %, 1872.
Captina still courses its way toward
the Ohio river, and we presume that il
empties in at the same place that it al
ways did, viz, Powhatan Point. The
same people live on its banks (or al
least some of them) that did when we
first opened our eyes to behold its beau
tiful scenery and bright crystal waters,
although many of them have gone far
ther West, some have gone over the
river 10 teach school in Virginia, and
many have gone over the deep, still
river of death.
1t is one of the latter that we would
speak of more particularly. Our much
esteemed citizen, VIM. Danford, (who
died July 6th,) whose funeral sermon
we heard preached on the 18th inst. by
Elder Joseph Dunn. Mr.. Danford had
for many years been a member of the
Church of Christ at Belmont Ridge, but
his seat is now empty, and the marble
slab and little mound of earth tell the
passing stranger that he lived and died.
A few years and the finger Of time will
obliterate the inscription, and he will
be as though he had never lived. If so,
then it must be.
"Oh! let us keep the soul enbalmed and pure
In living virtue. that when both mus st's-c,
Teo' the earth the mortal part CONSUME. q
The immortal spirit in she skies may oiocrn,'' >
Mr.. Danford leaves wife AID toglr
children (all girls) to mourn his loss.
As citizen he was esteemed by au,-7
as friend he was true and unwavering,
-as a husband he was tender and low
ing,-as father he was kind and con-
siderate,-and although missed by all,
none viii miss him more than his little
family.
Mrs. Boyd, of Wheeling, lectured at
the NJ. E. Church, at Armstrong; Mills,
on the 22d, and succeeded in organizing
a Female Missionary Society, by elect
ing the following officers: Mrs. Welsh,
President; Miss Lizzie Ramsey, Vice
President; Miss Lizzie Welsh, Secre-
tary, and Mrs. McKeen, Treasurer. We
wish them success in this noble work,
and may God speed the day when its
influence will be felt through the length.
and breadth of all this broad free land,
of whose institutions we love to boast.
The waters of Captina are too pure for
