ed, how true it is we don't know, that
some parties are having whiskey put
up in colored pop bottles, for sale on
the Fair Grounds, We hope the Of,

temps to smugglc whiskey on the
grounds, put him out at once, togeth-
or with forfeiture Of all his privil-
eyes.
More fast horses are entered at the
Fair this year than at all the other

We did not get our mail Friday,
until late in the day. The mail on
the Kanawha, seems to be carried tc
suit the convenience Of the boats,

boat and was mail contractor,
would no doubt do the same thing.
That hardened old sinner, Jim
Harper, of the Gallipolis Journal,
talks of Outstanding US. There is
no necessity Of his putting himself
TO that trouble, when is known that
we have been Christian all our life,
and besides we go to Sunday School
every day.
Fellows who have been in the hab-
it of smuggling whiskey into the
Fair Grounds, had better look out,
as several government detectives
will be on hand, and they might be
gobbled up, and sent TO Charleston
