A NEW INDUSTRY Visitors to the Fair
Will do well to examine specimens Of spun
fibre from the ramie and jute plants
grown near West Point, Va, by Mr.. A. NJ.
Elphinstone. This gentleman was attracted
to West Point some time since by the fact
that manufacturing establishments in that
town were exempted from taxation. Cap
tain X. L. Lee, of RomalcOke, took great
interest in the matter. and permitted Mr..
Elphlnstone to raise the plants on his farm.
The fibre is woven from the plant in its
green state, thus saving the delay and labor
Of rotting. as has been customary hereto
fore. Il is claimed that this process makes
the fibre much stronger than the old.
The experiment OF growing the plants in
Virginia has proven so successful that il
will be much more largely raised next year,
and works will be built for manufacturing
them into fibre and fabrics made therefrom.

The fair for the benefit Of Company G
came off last evening even more brilliantly
than we had a right 10 expect, as there
was no display OF military. The crowd was
composed OF our best people; everything
quiet, orderly, and in harmony with the
company. The voting for the different can
didales for the prize sword and bracelet
created a great deal OF enthusiasm. The
friends OF Miss Blair proved to be in the
majority, and she was the most popular
Young lady Of the evening.
