OUR FAIR.-It is less than one
month until the fair will be held here
and we feel that we should keep it
before the people and argue the duty
and Importance of giving it due con-
sideration, hence our readers should
not be offended if we have something
to say every week until it is over.
All that the Association can do is
being done and it will be left to the
people to decide whether it shall be a
failure or lasting benefit to the
county. The enterprise is not run as
a business venture by the company
but for the good of the people. 1t is
largely to the interest of farmers to
help bring about the success that we
hope for Come then and bring more
to exhibit that ever before. Come
and bring your families. Carefully
observe every feature Of the exhibi-
ton and there is no question that
good will result. The premiums are
not large but are as liberal as could
be expected under the circumstances.
Bring something whether you expect
to get premium on it or not. All
cannot get premiums, SO come not
expecting one, and make no fuss if
YOU receive none. From what we
can hear there will be good atten-
dance from other places and so far
as we can see it remains withus on
" to decide the fate Of the enter
prise.

CIRCUIT COURT NoTEs.-The all alb
sorbing theme in the vicinity of the
court house for the past week has
been the trial of Matthew Harris, col
ored, charged with the murder of an
infant, the bastard child of Nancy
Elsie alias Ogden, a domestic, en-
ployed in his family Harris has
been in Jail since last May and was
indicted at the September term of the
Circuit Court. The circumstances
which led to the discovery of the
crime were about as follows: L. j.
Holland and Jimmy Boyd two young
colored men were walking along the
river bank, near the mouth of Fal-
ling Run, below Morgantown, some
time the last of April, when they dis
covered the remains of fully de-
veloped infant of the African race
tied up in a sack. The discovery
was promptly made known and on
investigation, the Coroners jury, en-
panneled for the purpose, decided
that the child had been born alive.
Nancy Elsie alias Ogden was ARE St
ed on suspicion of being the mother
of the child and an examination made
of her person by Drs. Mackey and
Price. The physicians reported that
Pthe woman had been delivered of a
child within from Z to 10 days pre-
vious. Upon this discovery being
made known the woman confessed
that she was the mother of the child
and charged that Matt Harris was
the father of the child and that he
had murdered it. She said that she
gave birth to it in common patent
bucket, partly filled with water, about
midnight of the night of the 10Th of
April; and that Harris came into the
room Immediately after, picked up
the bucket containing the child and
went out with it, after which she
never saw it. She further stated
that the child was born alive. Har-
ris stoutly proclaimed his innocence.
He was defended by Hagans q Stag
gers and Wiley d Moreland. The
theory of the defence was that the
Medical examination was imperfect
that the child persisted in the
bucket in which it was born; and
that the woman was wholly unworthy
of belief. All day Saturday, includ-
ing Saturday night, and portion OF
Monday were consumed in the ar.
guments ofcounsel. Messrs. Wiley
Hagans and Staggers speaking fol-
the prisoner, and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Sturgiss for the State. The jury
came in Tuesday afternoon about
o'clock with verdict of not guilty
There was considerable excitement in
the Court room when the verdict was
announced. The prisoner wept tears
Of joy. The verdict gave general sat
isfaction, those who heard the evi
dence uniting in the opinion that the
State had failed to make ont its case
The defence was one of the ablest
ever made at Morgantown and Prose
cutting Attorney Sturgiss prosecuted
with all the vigor of his: nature.
Nancy Elsie alias Ogden, the woman
indicted for the murder of the child
was discharged, the Prosecuting At
torney declining to prosecute her
after the acquittal of Harris.
