A COUNTY FAIR IN FACT.-It will be seen
from the following act of the Legislature that the
General Assembly of Virginia intends to throw
open the doors wide to make County Fair a
Fair indeed
Heretofore no one could take an article to a
County Fair, except as an advertisement, unless
under license taken for the occasion but in flu
ture when any farmer or farmers wife, or son.
or daughter, takes fancy to any piece of goods
or to any commodity, its word and blow, an
offer and SALE We mistake greatly, if all our
merchants here, and in all parts of the State do
not discover and act upon this new truth. We
learn that the authorities of our Fair, reserving
to themselves the control of the Liquor bust
ness, and to the good ladies the dominion over
the feeding department, intend to throw open
our County Fair to the public as Fair indeed.
The following is the act:
[Chap 49, page 4sl

trial Fairs. (Approved Jan. End. 1879

ginia by any company or society now organized
to hold and conduct such fairs or exhibitions, and
such societies organizations as shall hereafter
be chartered and organized according to law.
g That the sales hereby authorized shall on
ly be made with the consent of such company
or society, and at such place, under their con-
troll, as they shall indicate. and may continue

week in any year.
g. The sales thus made shall be accounted for

Centaur Linirnent.


There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,
and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it is true. Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has
produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia
lockjaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-breasts
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon
the human frame, and of strains, SPAWN gals,
&C., upon animals in one year than have all 9TH
er pretended remedies since the world began
1t is counter-irritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches the
lame walk poisonous bites are rendered harm
less, and the wounded are healed without scar
1t is no humbug. The recipeis published around
each bottle. 1t is selling article ever before
sold, and it sells because it does just what it pre-
tendsto do. Those who now suffer from rheu-
matism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer if
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates Of remarkable cures, incIu ding
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt, rum
ming tumors, &c, have been received. We will
send circular containing certificates, the reci-
pc, &C., gratis, TO any requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centsur Liniment
is worth one hundred dollars for spawned or
sweenied horses and mules, or for screw worm
in sheep. Stock-owners, this lniment is worth
your attention. No family should be without

GRAND MASS MEETINGS AT STAUNToN.-On
the Goth of this month the citizens of this Coun-
ty will have the pleasure Of hearing both Gen
Kemper and Col Withers at this place. The
appointment for Col. Withers to speak here at
that time was made some weeks ago, and since
then the Executive Committee have made an
appointment for G en-. Kemper also to speak here
at that time.
Every Conservative in the County who can
possibly do so, should be present on that occasion
to hear these distinguished candidates for Gov
ernor and Lieut. Governor. A rich treat is in
store for those who will attend the meeting on
that occasion, and have the pleasure of hearing
these able, eloquent and gallant standard bearers
of the Conservative party.
1t is proposed to have a grand barbecue on
that occasion, and, in this connection, we would
suggest to the Committee of the Ward Clubs
the propriety of taking steps at once to secure
subscriptions of money provisions and labor for
the barbecue, as there is no time to spare. 1t
should be an occasion worthy of our distinguish
ed candidates and the cause they represent AS
it will be the only barbecue given in the County
during the canvass let it be grand one-such
as old Augusta can and should give.
On the 18th of October which will be the End
day of our County Fair there will be another
Grand Mass Meeting, which will be addressed
by Hon. r. M. T. Hunter, Judge Robert Ould
