Washington County Fair.

1t is no uncommon thing for the
people of Washington county to have
a good fair. The farmers are alive to
the agricultural interests Of the coun-
ty, and take pride in putting their
finest products upon exhibition. The
ladies, too, of the county rarely fail to
make their department. interesting in
the highest degree. The stock men in
the county and in surrounding counties
bring the finest stock in the country
for exhibition. Tho finances Of the
Fair have been well managed, and all
premiums are paid in cash.
Themusiqal entainment promises to
be highly entertaining. A number Of
ladies OF the finest musical talent will
contend for the musical prize. Write

Trip TO Virginia.

For courtesy and royal hospitality
and real good old fashioned Virginia
greetings, Abingdon and Marion are
glorious. A recent ministerial trip to
Marion, and to Abingdon, the home Of
Conley Trigg, convinced us that the
glory Of old Virginia is not departed.
Malone has tried to lead her into the
jaws OF radicalism, but in vain. The
mother of Presidents is in line and
she claps her hands and shouts glory
while her soul is brim full Of the reli-
gion Of democracy. Thegallant Trigg
will snatch the 9th district from the
clutches Of Iscariotism and the whole
State will put her foot ON the neck Of
Judas Sic seDeper tyrdnnaS.

Died.--lt is our painful task to
chronicle the death Of one OF our best
and most prominent citizens, Ed H.
Harr Master of the Johnson City Ma
sonic Lodge, and Sheriff elect of Wash
ington county, breathed his last at
high II, September 9th, 1884. He
was born in Washington county, Va,
November 4th, 1847, and was there
fore nearly thirty seven years OF age.
He was raised in Sullivan county,
Tenn. In 1867 he joined the M. e.
sChurch South. He came to Johnson
City in 1876 and went into business as
a member of the firm of Harr Bros.
AS a citizen, Ed. Harr was honored
by all. He was honest, industrious,
generous and kind AS a business
man he was noted for his push and
fair dealing. But he is gone from the
busy scenes; from the shadows and
eorrows of this world. In the midst
Of life, while the roses of youth still
bloomed, before the sun had reached
the full meridian, Gods messenger
bOckoned, and with paid lips and
.blanched cheek, he kissed his weep
ing wife and little childred goodbye,
and "his deathless spirit took its
noiseless fight, like the Summer ey-
ening's last sigh that shuts the rose"
God comfort the widow, God protect
the children.

Statistics
BY sENEx.

The farmers Of this country pay
annually $450,OOO,OOO in taxes and
bounties for the maintainanco OF the
business Of their manufacturing
neighbors.
The average tax imposed by the ex-
listing tariff is SO per cent. But on
articles entering into the daily con-
sumption Of the wOrkingman it is
much higher, viz so per cent. on sugar,
GO per cent. on some of his woolens,
about 40 per cent. on his cottons and
So per cent on his ready made cloth
ing
The value of the product OF the me-
chanical and manufacturing indus
tries, IN tho census year was $685.
57G,l9l. The amount paid for labor
in the production Of this value, was
$947 ,953,795. Tho percentage of value
paid for labor was III; but the man
ufacturors received from the tax pay
ers bounty Of near 40 per cent, so
that there was an excess of tariff over
the cost of labor Of 22.3 per cent,
which amount, the manufacturers
pocket, and for which, the laborors
receive nothing. This explains why
one class grows rich while another
grows poorer

Correspondence OF the STAUNToN VINDIcAToR]
WAYNEsBORO, VA, Oct. 30th, 1884.
Ho,. o. T. Beard, of Michigan, Re-
publican. spoke in Fry's new warehouse
here on Saturday night last, to an audi
ence of about 80 white and 60 black per-
sons. About one.balf of the whites were
Democrats drawn there by curiosity.
On last Tuesday night Jas. Marshall.
(col.), requested Harry Taylor, (col.), to
change SIS note for him. He did so and
without noticing the note which was
given him particularly, placsd it in his
pocket. On going to his room he noticed
it closely and found that it was Confed-
crate and therefore worthless. He imme-
diateIy, started out to hunt for Marshall,
but failed to find him until yesterday
morning, when he met Marshall VINO said
to him that he had some money deposited
with colored man who lives near the G.
Il o. depot, and that il he would let him he
would go and get the money and return
it. Taylor accompanied him to the house
and waited outside until he thought Mar
shall had been gone sufficiently long to get
the money and return with it. Taylor
then entered the house and found that
Marshall had gone in one door and out an
other. He has not been seen since. B.
