IT is 10 be regretted that some OF
the Chebalis county farmers have
lost a portion of their grain crop by
the louS continued rains. Nj. James
Smith, is perhaps, the most heavy
loser. Our farmers are learniog by
dear experience that Spring wheat
cannot, as a rule be depended upon,
and that Fall sowing should be more
generally practlced.

all iuieuts and purposes the articles

hall, yet it is true the people do not
think so. Then too, il is more ex-
pensive to take articles to and from
the fair ground than it is TO and
from a hall in town. These are
ouly Two of the many reasons why
the pavilion exhibit part of our
county fairs has dwindled to almost
nothing. If a suitable hall was pro-
vided in town for the exhibition,
which would be open both day and
night, we believe the entries would
be increased bunJred-fold, and
that the hall would be packed with
people curing fair week. During
the day the people would visit the
fair grounds to witness the races and
examine the animals, and in the
evening they would visit the hall in
town to see the exhibit and each 9TH
err. 1t has been suggested that tho
Society undertake the erection in
town OF q hall suitable for fair pur-
poses and it is believed that the rents
which would be received for its use
during the year would pay fair in
terest on the investment.
1t will he seen that this plan is
considered so much of a desideratum,
that it is proposed to build hall,
especially for the use of the Fair
association. When we have a build
ing so admirably adapted for the
purpose as Columbia Hall, their
seems To be but one course before

tinued advance in the price of wheat
This will become more apparent as the
market season advances, and the consump-
ton of the stock on hand in European
markets is assured. The effect will be to
inspire caution and hesitation in selling,
with those who are able to hold, until the
surplus of this country and the deficiency
Of Europe are more certainly known. Even
in the most unfavorable aspect of the case,
there is not much probability of a decline
in prices, while the chances are all in favor
of an advance.
This suspicious condition of the wheat
market, supplemented by the activity in the
iron trade, which gives employment to the
idle labor of the country; the increase of
the cotton crop for 1879 Of 100000 bales /;
an increase of the tobacco crop of 12,O0O,-
900 pounds and the sugar crop by 100000
hogsheads, are assurances of extraordinary
prosperity for the calendar year of 1879,
which will carry its effect into 1880, until
the succeeding harvest, at least.
All these evidences of revived industry,
must soon manifest their effects upon real
estate, especially upon farm lands, and
cause more activity in their exchange and
advance in the prices therefor. Already
have inquiries become frequent for good
farming lands from persons Of distant
States, and with our State complications
adiI1sted and tha contention ahout State
credit closed, we may look forward con-
fidently to period of great encouragement

and offal, l say to you at once that won't
swallow it. So with the McCulloch bill, not
equal, however. fguratively speaking, to
Bumgardner's best, yet if thirsty might
take it, but when you throw in that low
wine, the free school system, | won't have
any OF it.
The Richmond Dispatch has seen fit, in

the opponents of the McCulloch bill, and

from the sentiments OF the good old county
Of Augusta, Mr.. Young will not poll votes

The Lewisburg Record, of the 18th, COM
ments upon an article which appeared IN the
last VIRGINIAN relative to the disorders and
mob rule in West Virginia, and aims to
break the force of what we said By at
tribnting it to party prejudice. and dispo-
sition on our part to condemn only because
the officials of that State are Democrats.
We can have no controversy with a paper
which designediy misrepresents our motives,
and seeks to comfort facts to suit its partizan
ends. The VALLEY VIRGINIAN, instead
Of trying to injure West Virginia, has done
more to attract attention to its wonderful
resources than all the papers published IN
its borders, and it is because capital has
been directed to that section through the
of this journal that we want
it to be assured of protection. We shall
continue to notice the disorders in West Vir-
ginia SO long as they exist,and condemn the
officials of that State, without reference to
their politics, so long as they tolerate the
rule of the mob, without appealing to the
authority they possess to suppress it,and pro-
tsct the vested rights of enterprise and capt.
tai, We can have no controversy with the
Record, however, until it changes its tone

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-1H Pm.
We have carried Legislature in Ohio
by handsome working majorities in
both houses. Fosters majority will
probably reach $4,000 majority; GER
tainly not less than 1900. No use in
sending you more to-day. 1t is clean
sweep. Knocks Thurman higher than

Republicans here are wild with en-
thusiasm. They want more extra ses-
sions of Congress. Secretary Sherman,
who has returned, has a dispatch from
Columbus stating that Democrats con-
cede Legislature to us. B.
