Mr.. EDITOR In looking over the premi-
um list of our last fair; which took place on
the grounds south of the river, leased from
Mr. Jones, find the following explanation:
lowing to the fact that our time is very
limited, and the great difficulty we have Ill
securing lumber and labor, we find it i'm
possible to erect suitable buildings for the
ladies and our farming friends to exhibit
their handiwork and farm products this sea
fair, to be held in the fall of 1882, to pro
vide ample room and liberal
premiums in the ladies' de-
partment and upon all of the products of
the farm"
Such was the case last fall, when they
could hardly obtain lumber and workmen
to inclose the grounds. But why have not
suitable buildings been put up this summer,
and arrangement made to fulfill the promise
made the ''ladies and farmer friends?'' For
shame such statements should be made and
no effort made to carry them out 1t it is
to be called Fair and Turf Association let
us have more fair than turf as we need
more of the former than latter to
improve the masses of the people. For
if they intend to make the horse
racing the leading feature, why do they not
sail under clear colors, and not try to fool
the majority of our country by pref ending
to have fair
Hoping some steps will be taken to right
the matter, am respectfully,
The LADIES AND FARMERS FRIEND.
Let us hear from others sources in regard
to this matter, and we may have a fair yet
this fall. L.&FF.

JAcKsBoRo, Tenn, September

JAcKsBoRo, Tenn, September 10.
Mr.. EDITOR We see, in the weekly
Houk, of this date, letter purporting to
come from Campbell County, which is SO
utterly false that we feel to give it short
notice, that the honest people of other
counties may see to what desperate efforts
these bosses are being driven. We see but
one truth the writer told in the whole thing,
and that is that the Republicans of this
county will not be bossed" The writer
says: "a majority of the Rule delegates to
the convention at Knoxville are now strong
Houk men, and will SO declare themselves if
necessary He knew that was false when
he penned it. He must have been suffering
from Houk's ''pizep." The truth is, if
there is single voter in Campbell County
that ever thought of voting for Rule, that
is now for Houk, we have Lever heard of it.
We venture, the man who wrote the letter
is either holding some Office Houk has Sc
cured for him, or is looking up to him for
one. A few mere tools, that is to Houk, as
clay in the potter's hands, are responsible
for all this trouble in the Republican ranks.
The Republicans of Campb Ii know that
they have been represented in the calaboose
once, at the nations ca .Jital, and are willing
for one time to suffice. LEGION.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 20.-Tbe
Republican State Convention met
here to day. The committee on per-
manent organization unanimously
reported the name of Senator, G +.
Hoar for president with the usual
distribution of officers. On the an
nouncement of Mr.. Hoar's name
there was considerable applause and
some person in the rear shouted:
"He voted for the River and Harbor
bill, and then followed a scence of
some confusion and excitement In
the course of his speech, upon taking
the chair, which was a quite
lengthy review of the
progress of the Republican party,
Mr. Hoar said: There are still States
in the South where honest elections
are unknown. But the accession of
the great Comm monwealth of Vir-
ginia to the ranks of the States who,
in the language Of her gallant
leader, mean hereafter to have every
ballot freely cast and fairly counted;
to provide education at pubic cost
for all their people, and to obliterate
race distinction from politics,
has broken, [ trust, for
ever, the ranks of the solid South.
