THE BORDER FAIR
- 'AA - u ~
JAMES q. FIELD,
Attoruey-General,

The heavy rain that began on Sun.
day night, the eth. and continued IN.
I'll noon Of Monday, had depressing
effect on the Fair. and the track was
saturated TO such an extent that it WAS
feared the races Of the first day could
not take place. but against the after.
noon OF Tuesday the earth had dried
30 much that the programme was
not interfered with. The weather
that followed, however, was cool, an
stiff breeze from the north continued
throughout the three days, and though
tempered by continued sunshine. il
effected the exhibition unfayorably.-
The crowd on Tuesday was small.
amounting to not more than 800 to 400
On Wednesday about 500 persons
passed the gates. and OH Thursday the
number was some 1900. We still
think a gate fee Of Is cents would have
worked well, il it could only have
been adopted and published in time.
We understand the total receipts
amounted to about ST. 100, a sum more
than sufficient to meet the premium
list. The Board of Directors held A
meeting on the grounds during the
closing hours. and resolved that the
overplus should be paid prOrata on
the unpaid portion of the premium
list of 1876 A committee was also
appointed to interview the bondhold-
ers with view to getting them to
take in stock portion of their claims.
The President, Capt. II. Is. Clay, was
appointed committee to wait upon
the authorities of the f. T. Va. & Ga
r. l.. with a view of obtaining the
usual rates of transportation.
Messrs. I. Il. Dunn, w. w. James.
and Others were appointed delegates
to general meeting of delegates from
all the fairs from Greeneyille, Tenn,
to Lynchburg, Va, to arrange a gene
raj schedule of times for the Fairs of
1873.
The Stockholders meeting will be
held in February, 1878 for the election
of officers for the next year.
The ladies of the End Presbyterian
Church kept an excellent table to the
delight of epicures aud hungry visi.

The Senatorial candidates took
it hip and thigh yesterday at Ma

Terry went to the aid of the Fun
dcrs and advocated paying "the
last dollar" He said he would
re-enact the Funding Bill and fund
the remaining portion of the debt
under it. Strange to say, he urged
that it would result in bringing
down tho price of coupons so that
all could buy them cheaply and pay
taxes with them. Yet he planted
himself on the sentimental honor
Of Virginia. Can any make Gen.

Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1877-10-16

Col. RICHARDSON ann ounces
himself candidate for Lieutenant-
Governor. His card will appear
next week. 1t this connection we
note letter to which great promi-
nencc is given by the Richmond
STATE, the leading Funder paper
of Richmond. 1t seems to sound
the key note Of the Funders, who
do not mean to be governed by the
nominations of the party. Here is
the language Of the letter:
"Under no circumstances, bound by
no party caucus or plan, will /, nor
will those who think with me, vote
for a man tainted with reputation,
DhethGr t be non increase Of tdTutiOn,
or reddjuSfmeHt, or iOhut not. We in
tend to see the honor of Virginia pre-
served, her credit maintained aud her
debt paid. We do not care for this
temporary move Of fools, knaves,
demagogues and ignorance about re-
adjustment and relief"
u all the plans In the world uni
ted wero to nominate a readjuster,
I'VE Will not vote for him."
Then the Funders mean to bolt
