We earnestly hope that the farm
ers and stock men of the county
will begin at once making prepare
tions for our fall fair. The success
of such an enterprise benefits all
classes alike-the farmer, the
stock-man, the mechanic, the mer-
chant and the laborer, and its in
vigorating influence is felt in every
branch OF home industry. By
healthy and goOd-natured competi
ton 1t excites a spirit of emulation
among the producing classes which
results inbetter Ia. hods of farming,
in better stock, in better imple
ments OF industry. 1t is the ar
dent desire of the directors to have
an unusuallysattI active and interest
ing exhibition this year, and they
appeal to the people to give the en-
terprise the requisite amount of
encouragement and support. Do
not put off your preparations until
some future day, bat begin now.
The ladies, too, who are ever fore
most in good works, are also ap
pealed to for contributions and
moral support.

While Mr.. w. j. Blassingim, 4
w. Graves and DIR. M. S. Waters
we're walking over the farm of the
latter, near Minnow Ford, Monday,
they discovered cotton stalk
eighteen inches high which bore
tsOenty well developed squares. In
close proximity to the stalk was an
Indian arrowhead, but, of course,
they did not attribute the eXtraor
binary development of the plant to
any influence of this relic OF the
aborigines. We are informed that
DR.. Waters has a field Of ten acres
in cotton, two months old, which
will average twelve inches IN height
and five squares to the stalk.

Rev. William Stoddert delivered
a lecture at the Methodist church
for the benefit of the Young Mems
Christian Association Thursday
evening last-subject "Modern
Manners" The lecture was q
quaint product OF the orators ex-
pansive but eccentric brain--a sort
OF ola podrida, with tit-bits Of hu-
NOR, morsels of admonition and
layers of satire as the ingredients.
Here and there were several fine
passages, full of eloqnence and pa
thos, but, in the main. these paled
their Intellectual fires before a pyro
technic display of wit and sarcasm.
The audience was highly enter
tanned.

Mr.. William Deering, an industri-
Gus workman employed by Scallorn
d Ray, made narrow escape from
death Thursday afternoon last. He
was at work in the cupola of Col.
John Ballentine's house on East
Hill, when the trap door fell, letting
him fall to the rafters below, a dis
lance of six or eight feet, where he
caught on sharp piece of tin which
cut terrible cash In his left arm
and severed one of the arteries. DR..
G. ALT Alternately was hastily sum-
moned and although he ran every
step of the way he barely arrived in
time to save the life of his patient,
who was nearly dead from loss of
blood. However, by promptly ligat-
ing the artery and administering
stimulants, he succeeded in reYiv-
ing him, and we are glad to learn
that he is now doing well.

Mrs. 5. D. Clack, OF Aspen Hill
