TO rs from a distance, and in COM
peting crowds as at the sales in Ken
The arrangement. for speaking
were very defective, and We doubt il
ever the lungs of Gov. Allen would
have been equal to the demand that
would have been made upon them in
speaking from the Music Stand to
the Amphithcatre. Such 4 crowd as
is gathered at q Fair can hardly be
expected to keep still unless they can
hear the speech, and nothing damp
ems the oratorical fire as much as an
inattentiyc audience. These mal-ar-
rangements were excusable on this
occasion, as the faults were unknown
until after trial, and We doubt not,
that word in season will be sufi-
Gent.
In concluding our ungrateful re-
marks in which we have been in
spired by malice to none, but rather
by amity to all, We must impress on
the people of Mason the fact that the
Fair cannot be kept up by the efforts
of few individuals, but that it needs
the cooperation of all who feel in
tercsted in it. And it is not enough
that you come and bring your fami-
lies to the Fair; that is right 50 far
as it goes, but every one should en-
dcavor to have something to exhibit.
and thus make it an exposition Of
the county, as well as pleasant re-
union OF friends, and an attraction to
visitors from a distance.

A fact has come under our motto

A fact has come under our notice
which We arc pleased to record, in
connection with the late meeting Of
our Agricultural and Mechanical As
ISOLATION. All who attended the Fair
no doubt noticed the fine display Of
Harvesters, from: the worEs.of c.
Aultman & Co., Canton, 0. The
many good qualities Of the renowned
Buckeye Mower and Table Rake were
shown to all who took interest in I'M
proved machinery, by Gen. Agent W.
J. Kirk. assisted by Vim. J. Prall,
Agent at Pomeroy. Although in
face of the most spirited competition,
We are happy to state that the First
Premium was awarded the Buckeye
as Mower, Self Rake-, Combined
Reaper and Mower and display Of
Haryestcrs, besides selling three ma
chimes on The grounds. Mr.. Prall a.
so exhibited 4 Feed Gutter and "Su-
perior Grain Drill" each Of which
took First Premiums and were sold on
tie grounds. The entire amount Of
premium money, amounting to some
thirty dollars, was presented to the
Association, which no doubt will be
gratefully acknowledged.
From our observation, supported
by the opinion Of others better in
formed in matters pertaining to Har-
vesters, VIC arc convinced OF the su-
periority and practical worth OF the
Buckeye, as grass and grain cutter.
To give our readers an idea Of the
extent of their manufacture, We may
state that there was over tWentv-S!X
thousand of these dcservedly popular
machines manufactured and sold in
1875, and inasmuch as they have
stood at the head for over twenty
years, gives the farmer, in selecting
Il machine, guaranty of itself Of
great value. We learn from Mr..
Kirk that he designs showing his
machines at the Gallia County Fair,
at Ga!lipolis, this week, and urge all
farmers awake TO their interest to at
tend and examine the Buckeye while
on exhibition.

Rcady toBetray.

We have cndearored 10 convince
that the Democratic party leaders Of
the Third District were willing 1T
anv time to sacrifice the interests Of
our people for selfish purposes and
party ends. Our assertions in this
regard are being confirmed ald pro-
ven by recent events. In addition
to what our people have to their sor-
row witnessed, the following confes-
sion from the Point Pleasant Register
is additional testimony to convict:
Better that ten thousand Capitals
be removed from our District than
that the Radical party should ever
again be placed in power to rule over
the dcstinics of West Virginia.
The West Virginia Jowaa! steals 4
single sentence from column edito-
rial in our paper, steals an idea from
Radical demagogucs andmakcsa vii
famous application oft to an article
which is entirely fair and reasonable.
However, We have nothing to take
back in thel!ttlc scntenccquoted. If
such contingency was possible, the
Third District had better lose the
Capital ten thousand times, than for
the State to again fall into the hands
of the Radical party-one would be q
loss to a section, and the other would
be a calamity to the whole State
From the formation of the State up
to the time whee the Republicans
were turned out OF power, the Capt.
tel of the State was only known, ha-
ted and feared as the place where
outrases, wrongs and expressions
were concocted and enforced against
the citizens. Then the further off
the Capital was, the better the chance
OF citizens to escape the effect OF pEi-
vatc spleen and envy, enforced in the
shape OF laws b. the scoundrcls who
foated into Office upon the tide Of
oppression. Then it was that the
lawyers, teachers, and suitors test
oaths, drove thousands of our best
citizens from the State and ruined
hundreds who stayed at home. Then
it was that Registrars pcrjured them
selves, disgraced, degraded and dis
franchised many OF our most worthy
citizens. Before the party that en-
acted these wrongs should come into
power, before these evil days should
again come upon us, we wouldadvise
our friends to acquiesce in the will OF
the people, though it took the Capt.
tel to the uttermost parts ofthc State,
and though to us it seemed the sheer
est ingratitudc.
