AUGUSTA COUNTY FAIR.-The Legislature Of
Virginia at its last session, passed act for tho
encouragement Of Agricultural Fairs and Indus
trial Exhibitions, which is well calculated to add
to the interest of such enterprises, and make
them source of profit to enterprising business
men. All licensed business houses, except
liquor establishments, have ths privilege under
this enactment, To exhibit their goods and wares
and sell them on such occasions, without addi-
tional authority. We have no doubt, when this
becomes generally known, our Fairs will have
new attractions, and draw persons. who other
Wise might not manifest much interest in them.
The following is the act:
