1t seems as though all the powers were
against us this year as well as last, and vented
their spite in torrents of rain. All hoped,
after the pleasant weather Thursday afternoon,
that it would continue for one day longer and
thus give one day for the crowds who were anx-
Gus to come to the city. But such thing was
out Of the programme, for ut 10 o'clock on
Thursday night one of the heaviest rains Of the
season came down upon us. 1t continued all
night and far into the day, so that the morning
broke out as disagreeable as possible The re
suit was that the attendance was very slim. A
great many in adjoining towns imagining that
the day would turn out as did Thursday
ant came in by the cars, and all excursion
trains came with very fair loads of people. The
country people away from the railroad could
not come, and scarce SO teams entered the city.
As it was about 1000 people went into the
grounds, only to oe wet by the numerous show
ers of the day, and to pc muddied by teams and
sloppy walks. The whole day was one very
disagrecable mess and every one was disgusted.
When we were at the grounds the premium
bulletin had not yet been posted up and the pre-
miums of the day were then out of our reach.
We found the clerks ut the Secretary Office
busy making out checks, at the rate of so cents
on the dollar; the balance to be paid when
more money is had. The receipts at the gate
during the Fair were only about $1,000 which
will be made about $1,000 larger by the rental
of stands, which sum, $4,000, is the entire re-
source at present. and will hardly stand the
paying out of $4,000 for prhmiums in addition
to the running expenses which cannot be cut
down. Premium takers will be paid in full,
only time is needed.
In this days record we had intended to in
clude the review Of the Machinery Depait mcut
and Florel Hail. but the record has strung out
50 long that we have been obliged to run them
over till next week

uotayail all the visitors to the city during the
week. On wednesday night an old gentleman
wa going to see Joe Murphy and while holding
hi-booh in his hand getting out money to pur-
ch.sc a ticket, man snatched it and made oil.

have stopped the thief. The father Of c. d. and

much anxiety by the people, and will estab-
fish an important precedent.
Hon. =. w. Strother, of Giles county, has
been lately here on visit to his brother,
Colonel j. French Strother. The latter's
health IS still very bad, though hopes are
entertained by friends and physician that
he will soon be Mt his post Of duty.
Our town Just now presents quite gay
and attractive appearance. We have q
number of Richmond beauties with us who
have completely turned the heads of our
country laddies, and caused many a lassie's
heart to ache with jealous envy.
The long-continued drought is fearful.
For six weeks we have had no rain. The
corn is curled and yellow, and the pastures
so burnt up that many turn stock into the
thickets Of young woods for subsistence.
The sumac trade is brisk. For this there
is always large demand at good price,
and the business affords q living to many a
poor family that would otherwise suffer.
Our new foundry may now be called a
success, and is in full operation. There is
rumor that the Piedmont Fertilizer Com

also that one Of Lynchburg's largesttobacco
operators is to have branch factory here.

THE EASTERN WAR.

ANTI-wAR OUTBREAK APPREHENDED-PRINCE
MILAN GETTING At 4 SAFE DIsTANCE-A
PRETESDER PRoNoUNCING.
LONDON, July 2S.-Prince Milan was to
have left the fort for Belgrade yesterday.
An anti-war outbreak is unprecedented in
seryia, and 1Iilan's friends wish to place
him within safe distance OF the Hungarian
frontier. Placards OF thePretender Karag-
rorgenitch declares the deposition Of Milan
necessary because OF his treachery. Karag-
rorgenitch offers to save the country.
MoNTENEGRIN CAMPAIGN PRONOUNCED
FIASCO.
LoNDoS, July 2S.-The Iinaes's Ragusa
dispatch says the Montenegrin campaign is
cparded failure, with the loss, however,
OF only 800 killed. The troops are indig-
nant at the tiasco, which is attributed to in
canacity OF the commanders.
PROPOSED EFFORT AT MEDIATION.
PARIS, July 2S.-Sixty thousand chasse-
pot rifles, sold by Germany, have arrived in
Servia by way of Roumania.
Prince Milan will return to Belgrade and
endeavor to bring about mediation OF the
Powers between Servia and the Porte.
THE SULTAN DANGEROUSLY ILL-CHANGE OF
RULERS EXPECTED.
VIENNA, July 1S--The Fene Freie Press
asserts that the Sultan OF Turkey is danger
ously i'll.
The TogblaH saws a change in the ruler OF
Turkey is an accomplished fact. Abdul
Hamid Efiendi, younger brother OF Murad
Etfendi, is the regent Of the Empire.
EFFECT OF THE MONTENEGRO DISCONTINUE
IN RUSSIA.
LONDON, July 2S.-The Pall-MdH Gazette
| in its Berlin dispatch says the. defeat OF the
Montenegrins occasions discontinue at the
Russian court, where Prince Nicholas has
been ostentatiously tfted. Russian diplomats
assert that it will be impossible for the Czal
to repress the war spirit in Russia If The
Turks invade Servia. The knowledge OF
this fact probably accounts for the hesitation
Of the Turks.

DECISIVE BATTLE IMMINENT.
LONDON, July 2S.-A dispatch to the Reu
ter Telegraph Company from Parakin to
day SAYS: "Princc Milan will hold coun
ell OF war to-day with General Tchc:nayef
and other generals, and NJ. Ristics, prime
minister. AIilan's headquarters will b'

never saw n more gloomy prospect for a
crop OF tobacco than just now. 1t is much
worse than in 1874. In fact, it is gloomy
prospect for all kinds Of crops. Corn is
very sorry, and all the rains that may come
now cannot bring 1t out. 1t was well
worked, but we have had no rain for about
six weeks. Oats were failure, except win
Ter oats, and but few OF those were sown.
The gardens are all dry. There are no vege-
tabeS-not even Irish potatoes.
The mills are all stopped except one or
two, and they arc overrur, having more
grinding than they can do night and day.
The prospect is very gloomy for another
year. The pastures are all dry both of
water and grass, and the cattle come up from
the pastures and deyour wheat-straw like in
dead of winter. Consequently milk and
butter are scarce articles.

TERRIFIC STORM IN THE NEIGliB0RHoOD OF
WEST PoINT-A very severe thunderstorm
PASSED over this section last Thursday eve
ming, doing much damage to both life and
property.
Mr.. Robert Trimmer, who had taken re-
fuec in Il shelter at Mr.. p. c. Edwards,
near GAINESVILLE, in this county, was struck
and killed by lightning. The lightning also
killed two hogs belonging to DR.. j. /. Ed
wards. and struck the dwelling OF Mr.. Jo-
seph L. Edwards, tearing down mantle
piece, scattering laths and plastering, break
inc crockery, safes, &c. All this occurred in
the same neishborhood. William Miles, an
Indian living in Indian Town, had horse
killed, and Mr.. John b. Davis, at Lester
Manor, had valuable horse seriously in
iured. :,
Considerable damage was also done IN
New Kent. The lightning struck the store
at Cumberland and stunned colored man
named Lewis Hickman. r. o. Atkinson
had a mule killed in his stable, near Skaters
vile. Mrs. Eggleston, near Slatersville,
was struck by lightning, but not killed.
She is getting better. Another lady, we
learn, in the same neighborhood, was struck
short time ago and seriously injured,
The storm continued some time, ana was
the most terrific and destructive that we
have had for many years.
The crops were in need OF rain, Dut, con.
siderins the damage done in both city and
country, we doubt if the good done by the
rain was commensurate with the deStruc'
ton effected by the Storm west rom
