Fair Grounds ana ExDosi11o,-


The question is now, shall we have fair
grounds and expositions any more, or not.
Both institutions are In debt, and both are
needed. Ii they cannot get along separate

for not only our manufacturer and farmer,
but the community at large?
There is no Disgusting the fact that every
effort has been made to make both institu-
tons source of attraction, and all that
seems necessary is to enlist not only the
sympathy of our people, but little money
also. In few days our fall fair COM

bas Gone, as far as our pleasure is con-
cerned, but the expenses are so heavy that
few enterprisiDg men are not willing to
shoulder all the responsibility, and those
Who derive so much benefit from their eff
forts should certainly assist in perpetusting
in our city institutions that not only afford
large measure Of pleasure, but of profit
also.
A proposition has been made to pay off
the debt of the fair grounds by the issuance
OF bonds authorized by the last Legislature,

Davidson County Smallpox hospital
is situated in pleasant location on Buena
Vista pike and Immediately on this eide of
Cumberland river, % miles from the CITY,
and is surrounded by II acres of fertile river
bottom land. During the past four months
there have been some twenty cases of viru-
lent smallpox in this institution Gall except
one colored), but under the treatment of
Rev. j. B. Stephens, the regularly appointed
physician, of this number only three or four
have died, and these, we Learn, were in a
precarious condition before being brought
to the hospital. There is not at present a
single case In this house, and as far as we
can learn, not one in the county, the last
c'se having left the hospital the 18th of Au-
gust last.
Under the wsrdenship of Mr.IW. S. Simp-
SOD, one of Nashvilie's old typos, eVerv-
thing looks orderly, cheerful clean and
comfortable; and we learn that the econom-
ical arrangements made with the prerent
incumbent by the court, the county is being
saved more than ore-half of its heretofore
large expense on this institution. Attached
TO the premises is the county burying-
ground, in which there have been inferred
within the past five months $50 paupers,
all at the expense of the county. Ofthis
number about 125 died Of the ''prev. ling"
and with but few exceptions, all were col
ored.
Too much praise cannot be given to our
County Court for their care of the sick and |
disabled.

The farmers in the vicinity of this
town and in Pownal, have recently suf-
fered severly from the depredations of
gang of thieves. Cattle, sheep, harness
ses, everything that could be converted
into cash, have been carried off, and no
traces of the miscreants could be found.
The officers finally arrested two men on
suspicion, but no evidence could be
obtained. Some one then remembered
that one John Lee of Patersburgh, q
half-witted fellow, had been frequently
seen in the company of the suspected
men. The officers found him at Berlin.
A sleigh ride and a glass of whiskey
made him. communicative. His dis
closures, it is said, are very important,
and will probably be the means OF
bringing most OF the gang to justice.
