The Coming Fair-Gsntennial, Etc.

The Coming Fair-Centsnnial Etc.
Mr.. ED1ToR:: A word about our
coming Fair. The prospect is good
better than ever. Our people
are in good spirits, and everybody
is doing or saying something to help
on the good work. The largest
gathering ever seen at an agricultu>
raj fair in East Tennessee is pre-
dicted by those who keep them
selves well posted on the subject.
Improvements both on the builds
ings and upon the grounds are
going on daily. Everything indi-
Gates grand success. Farmers are
at work, and preparing to exhibit
their field products. The display
in this line promises to excel any-
thing ever seen On the grounds.
The domestic feature promises
we'll, for the ladies department will
be full. This has always been an
interesting feature, and promises to
be especially so this year. 1t is
thought the new building erected
last year will not hold all that may
be put on exhibition. When the
ladies of Washington county take
hold of an enterprise its success is
assured, SO it will be in this case.
The display of live stock, if half
we hear be true, will more than
meet the expectation of the most
sanguine. We hear the most
gratifying reports from all quarters.
We happen to be SO situated that
We can hear what the people say.
The success of the preceding fairs,
the abundant crop, and the sound
financial condition of the Assoeia,
ton gives confidence to everybody
On the last. day of the Fair the
Centennial of Jonesboro', the old
est town of the State, will be cele-
brated with appropriate exercises
Postmaster General D. M. Key and
Hon. I'll. M. Doak are expected to
make speeches. There will be a
grand procession Of several military
companies on the grounds. The
Centennial Committee is busy work
ing up the details. It is intended
to have on exhibition all the old
relics, curiosities, maps, papers, let
ters, books, domestic utensils, farm
ing implements, &C., that can be
obtained. There are many inter-
e,ting letters, papers, and books
that throw light upon the early
history of Jonesboro'. Many
heirloom, handed down from father
to son, will be OF exhibition. What
"a story some of these old relics
could relate! The writer has a
drum that called our fathers to bat
tie in the war of Revolution. There
are many of these interesting relics
in East Tennessee, Western Caro-
lima and Southwestern Virginia.
Everybody who has anything of
the kind calculated to add interest
to the occasion is respectfully re-
quested to notify the committee.
w. E. Mathes, Esq, is its Secretary.

The Chinese in Havana.

Havana has very large Chinese popula-
top. Coolies were imported until within
few years in great numbers, and sold under
contract of eight years Of service. When
this period expired the coolies naturally
gravltated toward the cities, and a nucleus
once formed, soon spread, until whole sec
tlons are now peopled almost exclusively
with these Mongolisns. A few Of them have
accumulated some wealth, nearly all are
industrious, but with the great mass II is d
serious question as to the provision for even
tho meagre food which satisfies their idea of
living. Their young men are iond Of imitst-
ing the ways, dress, and diversions of the
Cuban "blood.' There is something exceed
ngly funny, not TO say grotesquely pathetic,
m the sight OF Cinnamon peering out from
the highest OF "PIccAdilles," and adorned
with q stylish silk hat. a cane, and lavender
kids. These young fellows acquire all the
vices. If not ali tho virtues, OF this cosmopol-
itan city.
The Chinese too have their theatre. The
approach thereto Is through dark and narrow
streets meRgrely lighted by a sickiy light
here and there from saloons aud eating
houses whose signs are in Oriental chAIac-
ters. A little hole Ia a stone wall, barely as
large as stoye-pipe, denotes the ticket Office.

The room, quite large, is dimly lighted by

up desultory din with horns, drums, and
cymbals, its volume of intensity rising and
! ialiDg with the action Of the play. The
drama itself eliminates in frequent we'll
simulated acts OF domestic violence, giving
the finely formed athletic actors on oppor-
tunity to display surprising agility. All
female parts are assumed by men. II is un-

deaths were always ascribed to starvation.
