Col. Hick Ballentine had a very
fine young horse that Capt. Jack
Miller wanted. They are very par
ticular friends and the Captain
thought he could beg the horse out
Of the Colonel, and so he com
menced begging, using all manner
of silver tongued persuasives, and
bringing to bear all those tantaliz
ingly bewitching influences which so
much become him. Col. B. was OBJ
stinate, however, in resisting all
this cajolery, until one morning last
week he hunted up Capt. Jack and
told him that he had slept on his
request and had concluded to give
him that horse, if he would go to
the livery stable and pay his lodg-
ing and take him away. Then it
was that one of those elegant smiles
stole over the countenance of Capt.
Jack, as he accepted the coveted
gift and started to the stable. He
met some forty men on the way, to
whom he told his good fortune, and
he suggested to each one that Col.
B. must be crazy or he never would
have done it; and then he swept on
down the street with the disdainful
stride so peculiarly business like,
marching into the stable and order
ing the horse to be brought out.
Mr.. jackson told him he had better
walk down in the basement and see
his horse, as it was easier than
bringing the horse up, and they
went down and there lay the horse
dead-killed by Mr.. Lasseter driv-
ing from Lawrence the day before.
Capt. Jack then saw how Col. B.
could afford to be generous, and
never a word escaped from 'twixt
his pearly teeth until he found the
Colonel, and then he set 'em up and
it was agreed that nobody should
know of it, and we tell it only to re
mind the reader to say nothing
about it.

Mr.. j. H. Edwards was pleased
and profited by his late Texas trip
He thinks it a great country, but not
without some drawbacks. He says
he would not advise a man who was
doing well here to pull up stakes
and move out there on uncertain
ties, though he believes an indus
trious farmer, who has small start,
can make more money there than
here. He says all other trades and
professions, except farming, are
overdOne.

THE FAIR.
Active Preparations for Splendid
Exhibition.


Every means is being used By the
managers of the Fair Association
to have the exhibition which takes
place in October reflect credit upon
Giles county, and in order to do this
they appreciate the necessity of hav-
ing the co operation of all our people.
We are all interested in promoting
an enterprise that will afford such
material aid to the development of
our industries. and we urge upon
our citizens all over the county to
take an interest in the matter and
prepare their products, stock, etc,
for exhibition. This initiatory fair
will have all to do with the future
success of the institution, and we
do hope to see it made a complete
success in every particular. The
grounds are being prepared for the
complete accommodation of visit
ors. Mr.. Regeno.d has submitted
a plan for the construction of the
seats, promenades, booths, ETC., that
is admirable, and it has been adopt
ed and the work of construction
commenced. The premium lists,
rules, etc, will be gotten out imme
diately and all necessary publica-
tions made to let the world know of
it. The managers are doing their
part well and they expect the peo-
pie, for whom their labors are spent
as much as for themselves, to come
to their aid by preparing their ex
hibits and attending en- m0sse during
the exhibition. There could scarce
ly be any exaggeration in estimat-
ing the benefits that i'll flow from
these fairs. We all know how our
stock and general industrial prod
ucts and pursuits have degenerated
since our fairs were discontinued,
and we should be anxious to seize
this time and means of awakening
an interest for a rehabilitation of
our energies in this respect.
