The Thirteenth Annual Fair of the Shenan-
doah Valley Agricultural Society will be held
at Winchester, October TO- II. u, and ID, 1882
Extraordinary efforts have been put forth in
behalf OF this Fair and IT. success is already as
sured. Besides a complete exhibition of the
agricultural, mechanical and stock products of
the Valley, Tin which it has always excelled),
the incidental attractions offered are SO nume-
rous and varied that they are already exciting
widespread interest. Among these features
will be competitive drill by the companies of
the Second Virginia Regiment. for valuable
prizes, to be awarded by Gen. Fitz Lee, Gen. J,
R. Herbert, Gen. F. H Smith, of the V. M. l.,
Col. Purcell of the First Virginia Regiment,
and Adjutant- General Mcdonald, all of whom
have accepted Invitations to act as judges;
Indians from the Government School at Car
Isle, contest of Saddle Horses for hundred
dollar silver cup presented by Col. E. P. G.
Lewis, Of N. j., a baby show for S35 prize, rum
ming and trotting races, and many other fea-
lures not usually seen at Fairs. which we have
not time to enumerate. t
Generals Hancock and Mcclellan have been
invited to attend. The former is confidently
expected.
The Society was fortunate in the selection Of
its date-a season of comparative leisure to
farmers-and avoiding injurious competition
with other Fairs. @
The railroads will offer every facility and
special low rates for the benefit of those attend
ing the Fair. either as spectators or exhibitors.

Geo. M. Arnold told US in the Daniel
Wickliffe campaign that 1.-THE negroes
would vote for the meanest, most trif-
ling white man who would associate
with them in preference to the best col
ored man-against one of their own
race who had good character and quail
fications." He said they preferred a
low white man who would come to
them. The test is on them now. We
shall see whether Rev. John M. Daw-
son will be sustained or repudiated by
his own race.-Lynchburg Advance.

Thanksgiving,

The custom of setting apart and
observing one day each year in spe
cial thanksgiving and worship, orig
mated by our pilgrim fathers, is still
honored in the hearts and outward
conduct of our people. Probably the
American citizens of today do not
realize the appropriateness and i'm
port of this annual demonstration to
the extent that our ancestors did.
Being in the full tide OF national,
state. municipal and individual pros
perity, it is but human nature that
our citizens should drift toward the
Indifferent condition of mind, taking
it all as a matter of course. The
sturdy New Englanders who braved
the hardships and perils of settling II
new country for the sake of enjoying
personal and religious liberty, felt it
indeed a manifestation of the good
ness of God to send them ship load
of supplies to arrive on the very day
they had appointed for fasting and
prayer because of famine.

DELEGATE Brents is quoted by a
San Francisco interviewer as saying
that he doubted our ability to secure
admission during the coming session
of Congress, but thought we would
get in in time to help elect the next
President. If he is correctly report
ed, it would be interesting to know
upon what grounds he bases his ex-
pectation of securing statehood in
time to vote for presidential electors
in 1884 unless the present Congress
passes the Admission Bill. We feel
like suggesting that the reporter
must have drawn on his imagination
for facts.

The Olympia Standard is the only
paper so far as heard from on the
whole coast that opposes our admis
sion to statehood. Bro. Murphy re
minds us of certain old settler who
was considered a leading citizen in
county not far from here, yet he
didn't want steamers started running
in his vicinity-because he said ca
noes were good enough. The pair
ought to move into the lonely foot

the growth of moss on their backs.
