The Glenwood Eagle has made
things quite sultry for some Of the
clique in Glenwood, and they to retail
ate, and if possible suppress its publ
cation, resorted to a questionable dodge
to do SO. Some of the guilty ones,
whom Rising has shown up in their
true color, purchased mortgage, and
as it was not promptly met when due,
forecloSed and took the press and some
other fixtures. AAFrom business stand
point, this is considered legitimate
transaction, but in this case jealousy,
malice, and fear, prompted the inter
ested parties to resort to these cues
tionable means to stife the dreaded ex-
posure. We venture the assertion that
this piece Of business will have the op-
poSite effect to that intended, and will
make friends for the Eagle, instead of
injuring it. The result will be tenn
porary embarrassment only, and some
body will have only lot of unstable
second hand printing material for their
pains and money.

The Fair at Red Wing was decided
success. The following account of
horse race, will doubtless prove inter-
esting to many Of our readers:
The programme previously arranged was
not carried out, on account of the ball club
failing to agree about the admission to the
game of players from St. Paul, and horse
race was substituted for the ball game.
The participants in this were A. j. Clark,
Peter Nelson, A. Setback, Fred Ander-
son, Chas. Himmelman, DR.. Crary, and
Sheriff Chandler. The two latter took no
part in the first heat, but were ordered by
the judges to drive the horses of others on
the second, the reason being that Setback
was accused of holding his horse back
and Chandler was ordered to drive him
and whip him up. Anderson, on the other
hand, was charged with driving too fast,
and Dr. Crary was directed to take his
horse in charge and bring him in last
The prize was a bex of cigars to the
winners, and the winners we've to be the
foremost and hindmost men in the race.
The first was awarded to A. ]. Clark, and
the judges claimed that, as they had assist
ed in giving him the race, he should divide
the prize with them So they gave him
ore cigar, and divided the others amongst
themselves and friends. The second prize
was awarded to DR.. Crary, but having
fined him box of cigars for fast driving,
it was agreed to resist the fine if he would
yield the prize. Chandler was fined for
whipping his horse contrary to rules, and
the cigars were charged to his account
This race was the most exciting one of that
took place during the fair, and cost least.

The yellow fever scourge is yet de-
vastating the cities and towns of the
South, and the death rate is terrible.
Up to the 4th inst, the number of re-
ported deaths have been as follows:
New Orleans, l,274; Memphis, 8O4;
Vicksburg, 259; Genada, 166; Port
Gibson, 48; Greenville, 35; Holly
Springs, 8; Baton Rouge; IL; total,
2,6O6. There seems to be some abate-
ment, but it is presumable it will con-
tinue to rage until cooler weather sets

In this Office, as we write, there are but
two left of all who month ago were en-
ployed in the editorial, counting and COM
posing rooms, and our pressman is down
with the fever. Strangers to the office, as
to the business, are attending to our affairs,
while the only editor left on duty alternates,
through sixteen hours day, between his
desk and case. This is our personal meas
ure of the dreadful epidemic, and surely it
is sad one. 1t has moved US to tears
many a time in the past ten days, although
we are not used to the melting mood. We
work, not in the shadow, but in the very
face of Death. We must meet him on
every hand and at every moment in the
names of his victims and in the desolation
he has spread about US. Hope, we have
none. We despair of any relief, but we
ore neryed for the end d-Memphis appeal.

The Democratic papers of this dis
trict are not very enthusiastic over
Donnelly's nomination, and are quite
outspoken, and do not attempt to con-
ceal their chagrin. However. Mr..
Donnelly has it in his power to make
a very warm and close fight, and if he
does not abuse the opportunity, will
surprise many by his strength. All
the talk about his being a weak man is
bosh, and those who pretend to ignore
his political strength are doing so for
the purpose Of misleading the less in
formed. If Donnelly keeps within
bounds he will make it warm for
Washburn, and his campaign will have
good results, but if, as anticipated by
many, he resorts to coarseneSs and
abuse, he might as well spare himself
the trouble and expense of canvass.
However, the democrats will soon be-
gin to wheel into line, and before cleo
ton day, will be as unanimous in his
support, as they are now divided.

Our County Fair will be held on

Our County Fair will be held on
Friday and Saturday Of next week.
1t is under the auspices of the County
Agricultural Society, and as that body
is in hourishing condition-fnancial-
ly, competitors can rest assured that
the society will fulfill its promises.
All the premiums are to be paid in
cash; there are no ribbons, diplomas
or medals; every prize is in money.
Now the society offer every induce.
ment, and certainly the people should
second their efforts, and endeavor by
individual effort to make this wears
display out-rival any previous efforts
of this kind. This can easily be done,
for we are are now situated to make
creditable display, and as it will only
lack the hearty cooperation of. every
resident Of the connty to ensure its
success. we feel that we are doing right,
in urging upon all the necessity of tax
ing an interest in this matter. Of the
benefits to be derived we have already
spoken in previous issues, and we do
not think it will be necessary to repeat
them, as all are probably cognisant of
the fact, that fairs are of real and last
ing benefit. We, therefore, ask all
everybody included-to bring along
something, it makes no difference weth-
er it is grain, vegetables, fruit, horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, or haAdiwork,
you will find it on the premium list,
and it is just by everybody bringing the
best they have, that the display will
be both large and creditable; it will
also give any strangers present an op.
portuaity Of Judging of what the coun-
ty is capable Of producing; whereas, a
meager display would have the effect
of leading many to infer that our coun-
ty is not as we represent it. By indif-
ference and a lack of interest we can
do ourselves an injury; whereas, if
proper interest is manifested, we can
benefit ourselves both at home and
abroad, and as this does not occur
more than once in each year, we can
not afford to let the opportunity pass
without making an effort to improve it.

Enthusiastic Meeting st FarmvIiic.

HheouHH -
FARMvILLE, Va, Oct. %, 1873.
To he Editor ofDe National Republican:
siR; Yesterday was a gala day here for the
Republicans Of this district. Being tho last
court day before the election, q large concourse
Of people were assembled to hear discussion
Of tho Issues Of the day. The Democrats, who
preferred not having joint discussion, held
meeting In the town hall, and the Republicans
in tho courthouse. Your correspondent took
a small dose at the Democratic meeting, but
the apathy Of the Conservatives here toward
Mr.. Hinton was so apparent that he soon left
the tame affair to listen to tho addresses Of the
Hon. Joseph Jorgensep, NJ. C., Major Hoxie,
Hon. Henry Clay Harris, Of Halifax, and J. II.
Van Aukeu, esq. The speeches Of these vari.
Gus gentlemen were listened to with marked
attention, and gave instruction and satisfaction
alike to the large gathering present, which was
composed of Republicans and Democrats alike,
q larger humber of the latter being present
than were at the Hinton meeting.
Major Hoxie gave a scathing review Of the
Inconsistencies Of tho Democratic record, but
the speech Of the day was conceded by oil to
DO that made by the coored orator from Hall
fax. Hon. II. Clay Harris. His calm. dispas.
sionate appeal to his race to stand by the party
which, under Heaven, had wrought their de.
liverance first and their elevation always met
hearty response from his cOlOrcd hearers,
while not a word was uttered by him which
grated on the ears Of his political opponents,
His visit here will always be held in lively re-
menbrance, and hearty welcome will always
greet him when he comes.
Altogether, the signs are promising. Repub-
licans are aroused, and you may look for n
grand victory on November 8. Yours,
REPUBLICAN,,
