THE GREENEVILLE FAIR,
Very Large Attendance Yesterday

Closed With a Calico Hop Last Night.
Special Dispatch to the Chronicle.
GREENEvILLE, September 30
The last day of the fair has been the best
A very large crowd was i'll attendance and
SO dense was the throng that it was almost
impossible to find any one who might once
get out of your sight. The receipts during
the three days of the fair were about 5000
tickets. Financially, this has far surpassed
any preceding fair, and in other respects
it is also generally considered at least not
far behind former exhibitions.
The center of attraction this morning was
Mr.. W. T Cummins' musical apartment. A
premium had been offered for the best lady
performer on the piano, and also for the
best performer under fifteen years of age.
Two ladies competed for the first prize,
Mrs. S. A. Williams being declared the
victor Three girls contested for the sec
ond one, little Mamie Williams being only
four years old. She played very nicely, but
the prize was won by Miss Maggie Will
liams.
This afternoon the stock exhibition and
the races were the chief attraction on the
grounds. Some good stock was
on exhibition, but not as
good as the country might
have brought, We have not space to tell of
all the interesting exhibits, the Chucky
WooIen Mills had on hand a find display of
their wooden goods. The best we have
seen in East Tennessee. Rev. Mr.. Nugent's
fowls. eleven varieties, and fine ores, too,
were very much admired. MIR. John L.
Sturm's marble headstOnes are worthy of
mention, as fine specimens of home manu-
factTe. The order on the grounds has
been good throughout the exhibition. The
grounds were well poJiced and those who
wanted to drink and carouse. found more
congepial space without The three DAYS
of pleasure viii be ended tonight with a
grand Calico bali and sociable at the Tennes-
see House.

The Power of the Press.

In no way is the power of the press more

people from the Atlantic to the Pacific have

ton of Southern Republicans, healed by
Mr.. Jack Brown, of Georgia, visited Presi-
dent Arthur this morning and urged the ap-
pointment of ". W. Hicks, of Florida, as
Postmaster General in place of Mr. James
The delegation, through Mr.. Brown, recon-
mended Mr.. Hicks in the strongest terms,
and mentioned, among other things, that he
was one of the 1906" at the Chicago cor-
vention. Whether the President promised
to comply with the delegation's wishes has
not transpired, but an opinion seems to pre-
vail among the friends of Hicks that the
President, for some reason unaecountable to
them, has conceived a strong dislike to Mr..
Hicks, though he admitted that he had
never heard of him before.

A New Railroad Project.

We publish to-day an ordinance which
will be submitted to the general council
Thursday night This ordinance authorizes
a subscription of 81, 600, 900 to livestock of
the Kentucky Union Railway Company by
the city of Louisville This road will run
from Winchester, KY, through either to
Abingdon, Va, or to Bristol, opening ter
ritory which now has no railroads and max
ing it tributary to Louisville. The surveys
of the Kentucky Union Railway Company
are being pushed rapidly, and it is thought
they will be completed within sixty days.
If the road is built to Bristol, it will there
connect with the Norfolk and Western, and
from Winchester it will come into Louis
vile over the Louisville, Cincinnati and
Lexington. The ordinance is similar in its
provisions to that recently submitted by the
Frankfort Georgetown and Paris Road,
but it should be understood that these are
entirely separate corporations.
These projects really concern our tax
payers, and they should give them their
most careful attention.

Feagh, said q prominent member of

one. None o. us desire to continue
in our positions. We fdlly appre-
ciate the political attitude of
the President. We feel that
it is best for us and
for him that we should retire as soon
as he can determine upon our sue
cessoTs. If we remain we know that
there are many things upon which
we could not agree, and that our res
tirement would only be a question of
time. The minutest deviation from
the policy. marked out by General
Garhelds administration would i'm
mediately compel us to resign. We
