Our Fair.

Come every one exhibit at our far, Prove you have a special interest
 there; Lend your glad aid to every enter
 prise That bids us in the scale of progress
 rise; Enter some worthy premium; give a
 zest To each and all to do their very best To make this our first attempted fair With other counties favorably com
 pare; Your ''best" may not be wrought in
 finest gold, Coarse metals oft the greatest tact
 unfold And just one perfect loaf more will
 display Than the full exhibit of the "class
 A" We may not all be tillers of the
 ground; Some reap their gain from soil more
 profound, Else none would to great eminence
 attain, In the defence of right, or soothing
 pain. Farmers will briug their specimens
 of gram, Merchants inspect, give full return
 again; Then come farmers, mechanics, mer-
 chants, all Gladly respond unto our county s
 call: We are all bound in one depend
 ent link, At which the stars above will nightly
 wink; The ladies too, with fair accustomed
 hand, Might have handsome ornamental
 stand, And prove that they too, take an ac-
 tive part, In the improvement of the finest art. You need not fear to risk the critics
 eyes, Or that some favored one will win
 the prize; Iris by comparison that value IS
 known, The earth itself is measured by the
 zone. RnssrLLvILLE, Oct. 27, 1877.

THE POPE COUNTY FAIR.
A Large Attendance Anticipat-
 csl.---Come Everybody.

The County Fair whichhas been has tily improvised by few of our public spirited fellow-citizens will open to- day. From what we can learn there will be a pretty fair attendance, and while we cannot, of course, expect any great display on such short notice, we may fairly anticipate very creditable success.
 If our people manifest the proper interest on this occasion we think we may safely promise something better next year.

Mr.. fuckers Speech.

For clcarness OF statement, evidence OF
research, and the completeness Of its argu-
ment, RAN. fuckers speech on the consti-
tutional questions involved in the counting
OF the votes for President is far superior to
any other made on these questio ms in either
house OF Congress. 1t leaves not point
untouched, and fairly states every objection
to his own arguments. It is almost without
a flaw. There is no attempt at mere rhet-
oric. 1t has but one weak point, and this
is the attempt to deduce the meaning Of
certain words from their etymology. This
sort OF logic generally speaks badly for him
who employs it; but even this RAN. has
made respectable. The speech would fill
our whole sheet, or we might. try to print
1t. It is enough OF itself to make durable
fame for great statesman.

is a paper of general Interest. Upon the
subject OF the imperfect and Intellectual
laws existing in Virginia regulating the
sale OF poisonous drugs and medicines Dr..
CUNNINGHAM makes some remarks that deli

which are deplorable, and which are grow

titled to the very highest respect, sends US

the sentiments Of his own mind, few sug-
gestions as to the @cohstitutionality Of the
