The COUNTY FAlR-The new fair grounds are
presenting handsome appearance. The track
is finished, the mile of fencing around the grounds
nearly put up, the wide lake in the centre, with
IL feet water at its deepest point, nearly filed,
the cattle stalls up, and the round house being
shinglsd in. Everything will be ready October
the lst, making the prettiest landscape fair
ground in the State. 1t is an important feature
under the new law that articles ON the fair
ground may be sold during or after the fair, so
that no one will be troubled carrying back cat
tie or other saleable articles, for want of an OPP
portunity to sell them. Let our county people
and the people of the Valley combine to make
this big fair and something to be proud of.
At the time of the holding the fair there .will
be FIVE vacancies to ill in the Board of Directors,
as Messrs. Bailey, Hartman, and McChesney have
resigned, and the terms Of Messrs. Crawford

GIN1A.-Ex. Governor Bonham, of South Caro-
lna was in the city this week for the purpose
of buying farm near Staunton, where he pro-
poses hereafter to reside. He says that Radical
government in South Carolina has become in
tolerable and the property holders are forced by
the taxation imposed by the negro legislature
to sell out and leave the State. His ancestors
have inhabited the State for century and half
and their bones are buried in its soil for genera
tons hack, but he is forced to leave and
seek new home. When such men as Gov
Bonham are driven from negro State to Vir-
GINA, it should redoube our efforts to save oul
own State as refuge and stronghold for oul
bretheren Of the South.

it was ordered otherwise. The sad returns are

back yard, she poked lsdle through the fence
for Mrs. Jones to taste, and Was. surprised when
that lady returned it over the fence with the re-
mark that she had thought she wasa lady"
