LOCAL MATTERS.
sfroet-CIeaning Before Fair.woek.

Before Fair.week the streets should have
at least one good sweeping. Some OF them
are not as clean as they should be. In nu-
merous places where new houses have been
built the workmen have left rubbish, which
IL seems TO be nobody's business TO remove.
The city itself is negligent in this respect.
for 1t rarely removes the surplus sand that
is washed from new paving; nor is it
always careful as it might be about clean
illness near IFS own property. In the gut
ters OF too many OF the principal streets
grass Is allowed to grow.
We can do much to improve all this il
we 90 TO work before Fairweek.
The Board Of Health have but limited
number OF carts and hands at their dis
posal. but will no doubt use them Judi
ciously. But they must have the help OF
the public and police; Of the latter to re-
port all persons who fail to comply with
the ordinances as TO piles OF rubbish IN
streets and alleys; Of the former to do
even more than they are required by law
to do, to the end that the city may appear
nice and clean on FaIr-week.
II the Mayor, the President OF the Board
OF Health. and the Chief OF Police VIII put
their heads to work and start out system
atically with the determination that du-
ring Fair-week Richmond shall look neater
and pfettier than ever before, they will
have the encouragement Of all good citi-
Zens and WILL SUCCEED.

stated that Mr. Charles Puryear had, after

Miller scholarships at the University, and
that Mr.. PuIyear and Mr.. Julian VI.

II. c. Cabell, received these two high hon
ors. a few years since our townsman j,

OUR MILITARY VISITORS.
About One Thousand Of Them To Be
Here at the Fair.

II was the conclusion OF those present al
the Chamber OF Commerce Thursday eve
ming, after the explanations made by Mr.. w
W. Wesiger and George w. Mayo, Esq,
that four or five thousand dollars would be
needed to properly entertain the military
visitors expected at the Fair.
II il believed that there will be 1.00C
such. We have to provide them with
lodgings, bedding (of some sort, fuel, and
light, and really ought TO spend $500 for
the benefit OF them and other strangers
in pageantry OF some sort. These strangers
will want to see something beyond the Fair
and our naked streets. They ought 20
have fine time, and the First regiment
will give them it il the citizens will help
them with money.
Messrs. WeisIger and Mayo knew no.
thing Of the programme designed for the
entertainment OF these visitors. They did
not speak OF that-that Is, with Colonel
John B. Purcell and the officers OF the First
regiment, Blues. and Howitzers; and these
gentlemen really must have the substantial
encouragement OF onr people OF means.
IL il true that four or five thousand dol.
lars can be well spent in this direction, but
il so much cannot be obtained. the gar.
ment must be cut 10 lt tue clOtn.'
There will be nothing wasted in "frol.
licking" Of which some OF our elderly
men OF means seem to have great apprc-
hension.
There will probably be two cavalry COM
panies and one battery Of artillery with
the visitors. The former will camp at the
Fair-Grounds. Some OF the commands
have sent representatives here to see about
arrangements to be made, and will come
to this city therefore well informed upon
all points Of interest to them.
A called meeting OF the Citizens Com.
mittee was held last evening 1T the rooms

men have worked. Below is Il list OF SUBJ
