Correspondence Of the Intellistncerl
The Fair has closed-lhe "Grangers"
THAT is persons from other countless have
gone hence, and our people feel that the
seventh annual meeting OF the MonOn-
gahela Valley Agricultural and Mechan-
ical Society was a decided success. On
Thursday afternoon and Friday the at.
tendance was unprecedented. There
were many more visitors from Greene
and Fayette counties, Pennsylvania, than
from our own adjoining counties. 1t
made us feel pleasant to see the people Of
the Old Keystone State joining with the
citizens Of Nelg Virginia in an annual
gathering, and, in spirit OF enterprise
and noble emulation, contest for the va
rious prizes. Most frequently in our
county Fairs there gets up n feeling Of
jealousy and much pickering and ILL
will between the counties OF our own
State, but there's nothing Of the kind be-
tween Monongalians and Pennsylvanians.
It's only "Who can best work and best
agree.n And therefore we shall hope to
see our people patronize the Fair at
Waynesburg next week "a we'll "a the
people OF Greene did ours.

pride they should in breeding finer
stock.
