no ilummery about their movements, and
the Princess impressed everybody by her

isin favor Of Republican form Of gov

eminent Of the United States. They
arc growing more and more in sym

new tariff laws are not popular, as they
have greatly enhanced the price of com.

WESTON, September Ii, .:
Editors lutolllEencer; 1T
It was my pleasure to take passage this
morning on the narrow guage road at
CIarksburG for this place, en- route to the
fair. On reaching the, depot, we found
quite stir among the employees Of the line,
who were busy loading freight and giving
the finishing touches to tho necessary
preparations for the! expedition, Rail.
roadlngis new on this line, and as . mat.
ter OF course there Is good deal Of fric-
ton as yet, t"s "'
The ride to Weston is through an at
tractive country, one largely devoted to
cattle raising. The beautiful hill sides,
deeply set in blue grass, show that nature
intended this for grazing country: Up
to this time 1t has been largely devoted TO
cattle raising, but, the business has not
been satisfactory this year and there is
more attention being turned to the raising
OF sheep. l.
Corn is an excellent crop this year in
both Harrison aud Lewis counties, and
the TALL rains have sogreatly improved the
grass that farmers will probably DO able to
pasture late in the season. This Is we'll,
otherwise they would be short OF hay
owing 10 tho summer drouths. a
When within abouttwo miles OF Weston
one OF the cars Of the Narrow Gauge, Just
in the rear Of the engine, jumped the
track and went bouncing along over the
cross ties for about fifty yards. the wheels
cutting deeply into the ties, This part Of
the road has been hurriedly laid and Is
not balanced, aud OF course is not In good
condition. This defect, however, will be
remedied in the nexti few weeks. The great
object has been to get the rails down in
time for the fair in order to scoop in as
much small change as possible.
On reaching the Fair Grounds the coun.
try people hocked round the cars In the
grounds. It was worth the trip to see
their eyes stick out and hear their com.
ments on the "bullgine." Manyoi them
saw the iron horse to-day for the first
time in their lives. They seemed tickled
to death with the idea Of having at last got

This Is the second day Of the fair. It's
not very much Of fair, and those who
know what fair ought to DO express a
good deal OF dissatisfaction and disappoint.

THERE was a large attendance OF people
at the St. Clairsville fair yesterday-the
closing day-probably as many as 1000
persons being present The attraction, as
usual on the closing day, was the race

mostly however Of the scrub order. 1t

poor affair, there being too much uphill
in it. The displays in the stock depart.
ment, in the way Of sheep, hogs and cattle,
were fair. We suggest that the managers
devote n dollar or two of their receipts
this year to the purchase OF a drum for the
Judges stand, and save the umpire thu
trouble Of pounding so deliberately on thu
boards with club. A drum tap would
be much more agreeable sound and
could be heard more distinctly over the

tune wheels and swings seemed to attract
more attention than any other feature
OF the fair. The stock pens showed
some good cattle, but not many: There
were q great many sheep, mostly Merinoes

raisers, and Il the present dog law Is en-

conversed on the subject say that the
profits Of sheep raising are decidedly
greater and more reliable than that Of cat
