THE FALL GATHERING OF
AUGUSTd PEOPLE.

We wish to make it personal matter
with the readers of this journal that Au-
gusta county shall have a big fair in Octo-
Der. Why, you could do it by yourselves
if you tried ! There are five Thousand
grown men and women who read this pa
per every week five thousand thrifty we'll
TODD people what the world calls 1.-THE best
people, of a county, and we honestly be-
lieve if you got properly interested I'D 1t,
and your pride was UP, you could get up
an agricultural fair of your own, to which
President EchoIs and his party OF the ALL
gusta Society would be very glad indeed
ifyou gave them so much as compliment
tary ticket to look through the fence
But as we are all agreed to not to start a
fair of our own, but to join i'll making the
county fair big success, it is time we
were bestirring ourselves in preparation.
The Richmond merchants and manufactu-
rers, for the first time have engaged in an
organized movement to make fine exhi-
bition at our fair, Baltimore is following
her example, the stock men in all parts OF
Virginia and some at the North are pro-
pairing to be represented fact every
body is coming and we must see to that,
that the show that meets them is worth
seeing. There are only twenty-six days yet
to the opening day of the fair, and there is
no time to waste. just the first thing you
do. look around the farm and see what
you think is worth showing, what you
would think worth showing if it was Oh
somebody elses farm. Don't make up
your mind that you haven't got anything.
There are not one dozen good farms III
Augusta that haven't something in the
way of stock orproduce OF the manufacture
of the housewife that would elicit apprecia'
ton and admiration at the fair. And we
want every mandatory in the county to
be represented. The manufacturing inter
est in Augusta is far from being insignlfi-
cant. There are several furniture manu-
factories at different points in the county
and we make tobacco, bricks, cigars, artl-
cles Of terra Gotta, brooms, chairs, all
manner of iron work, all sorts OF vehicles
shoes, and number OF other articles
which we wish to see represented III full
force.
The list of premiums as We saw 1t stated
in our local column the other day is fal
more liberal than any in Virginia, save
the State Society, and this liberality we
hope will be met handsomely by the exhlb
itors erowding to the front. AS for The
attendance we shall not be at all satlstl
ed if there is not larger one than there
has been at any fair since the war. Let
us all remember the 18th, 14tll, aud 18th
and get ready to spend at least two Of
those days at the fair.

As matter of enterprise the Fartxer's Club
of Saline and Mcpherson counties. are per-
haps AHEAD in practical results resulting from
club association. They have shipped during
tile winter twenty-five carloads Of wnea. to
St. Louis, where they received the highest
market prices tor the same. Last week they
sent six carloads and have already sent six cars
this week up to yesterday. They received in
st. Louis from Sl.25 to Sl.21f for spring and
81 80 and 81 GO for winter. The entire cost Of
shipping, handling and commission on the
grain was about 25 cents. which leave them
about 90 for spring and % for winter, thus
saving the difference between their prices aud
those paid here.

point Ia the county send us the local news Of
their section each week. Let the farmers tell
us what they are doing in the way ofimprovc-
ments, and, in fact, evcrythin. occurring in
your locality. Write us short communications
and write often. A postal card corresp"n-
dence is the handiest to the writer and would
just suit us. This paper is published for no
particular section, but for the whole county.

been agin that new-tangeld whether-cock
from the very first.
THE SPIDER.
This Is a inseck that cctches flies in net
like fish net, but not in the water. The
net Is called web, and wen ii cctchcs dust
instead of flies il is a cobweb. The spider
knoes he Is ugly, SO he stays good deal
To home, but ugly wimmen goes To church
and walks In the street more than pretty;
but they are both in the same bisnuiss,
witch Is trappin'.
In Californy they has spiders that scorns
10 spin webs, but goes out and cetches
game like other beasts of pray. They are
about the size of Il girl baby, and lot
pizener. These is tar antulers. Wen a
lnjin has bit hisself with a tar antuler he
fills his skin with wisky and steals n blank
ct TO rap hlsself in, and hunts place ware
his body will be most in the way. Then
he lies down, and If the piZen don't work
all TO once he sings the deth-song of the
brave, and that nocks him. We was tole
this to our house by a traveller who said he
guessed he knew tarnal site about Injins
and tar antulers though he hadn't never
been TO college. But Uncle Ned he says
it is best TO git good education first, and
then thro' in Injins and tar antulers accor-
din to taste.
Spiders isn't socibe 'ceptin' among there
own set. My sisters young man says that
very good men and very big spiders is two
classes witch has been left good deal to-
gether in all ages, and they sometimes cit
pretty well acquainted. and wastes lot of
time In such trivlous amewsmcnt as count
in the bolt heds in there dores.

three miles southwest of New Canton
IN TINS county, can be seen one of the most
wonderful sights ever witnessed. On The

been known for years AS the salt spring
ms. spring rises out OF level prairie
and few weeks since the locality gave M
indications that you were approaching one
OF the greatest wonders of this country.
The spot has long been the resort of wild
game and domestic animals, who came 10
drink It's saline waters, which never 20
dry or freeze, winter or summer. A few
weeks ago the proprietors, who had long
conceived that there was some undeveE
oped secret connected with the spring.
sunk an iron pipe some forty feet down
the mouth OF IL, and immediately IL be-
gan TO throw out from the upper edge of
the pipe water 10 the height of twenty
three feet. Ii has remained for few DAYS.
attracting large numbers of visitors. who
came to see and wonder. Some DAYS af-
ter six more pipes, of the diameter of an
inch and "A half, were driven into the
spring-the longest pipe about ffty-five
fcet--and such cascade of water was
never seen before on a level prairie. Some
OF the pipes have covers perforated with
sinai noles. ana the Jets OF water thrown
from these form, ia the sunshine, beauti-
ful rainbows. For ten feet or more in
every direction, and fifteen feet high. the
white spray rises, gliiters and showers
around, forming pool thirty feet in d.
ameter, clear, limpid and cool. On
clear day the column of water can be
seen for miles, and on cloudy, DRILLING
day over two Pittsfen (Hi.) old
