WILLIAM THARP KILLED.
His Brains Blown Out BY George

Last evening, n Mr.. Tharp was

term Of the District Court here. Wig.
gins is tean,ster, and hired man Of

1t is stated that Virgins was walk
ing along the highway with Henri,

him to stop, drawing his revolver a,
the same time. What passed between,

THE BULLION CHINESE HOG.PENS.
How the Residents Of that Locality Can
Get Rid OF Them at Once.
Rector St. Charles Church

Gct lid OF Them at Once.
The TINES is again requested to d.
rect the attention Of the authorities to
the Chinese hog pens at Bullion, to de.
nounce them as a nuisance, and de-
mand their removal. As there is no
doubt that the nuisance referred to
ser'ously endangers the public health,
the District Attorney will undoubtedly
have it abated if complaint is sworn
to before him. That will not cost one
cent-only the trouble of appearing at
the District Attorneys Office, and
swearing to the complaint. Any cit
izcn who knows of the existence of
the nuisance can do this. Now, who
will move in the matter? The Dis
tr'ct Attorney cannot proceed without
a complaint.

Shall the White or the COlOred People
Determine the Result!

Shall the votes of the white or the col
ored people determine the result OF the Ma
tional election? Without the negro vote,
the Republican party is in minority OF
eight hundred thousand. Without the ne
gro vote, the Republicans would not have
the ghost Of chance to elect their tlcket.
Will you vote with the party that relles
upon the negro vote for success, OF VIII
the party that relies upon the white vote?
That is the question you will determine py
your vote on the 4th of November. The
white people constitute vast majority OF
the population Of this country, and the
white people should rule 1t, and not the col
ored people. In this State, the negroes
constitute three-fourths of the Republican
party. Should such a party have the con-
troll of the destinies of the State of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and
the long list of distinguished men whose
history is an honor not only to this State,
but to the nation and to the age in which
they lived. We appeal to every true Vir-
ginian to support the party that is composed
Of white people whose .birthright it is to
rule this State and nation.

The State Fair-The Farmers Assembly


The State Fair is cherished institution
with the people of Virginia, Located at
the Capital, than which there is no fairer
city in all our Southern land, its annual re-
turn is ever hailed as the appropriate occa-
sion for reunion of the farmers of the
State, and all who are contributing to its
prosperity in claiming from it's soil the re-
wards of toll and effort, and aiding devel-
opment in our varied industries. The time
is one, too, when the daughters of the Old
Dominion favor by their presence and re-
cognition the pursuits of their fathers and
brothers, and heighten the pleasures of the
season by charms which they alone can
throw over the busy scenes. Social life in
Virginia is a treasure of ITSELF and no
matter what our circumstances are-wheth-
er it be prosperity, or the saddening effects
of days remembered for the conservation
Of hearts and hands in our country's cause
its cherished manners and associations
will continue the pride Of our people, and
its enjoyment q privilege they will not dis
card from their distinctive characteristics.
Since its organization, the State Agricul-
tural Fair has been an occasion when in
dustries, developed by productions from
the farm, the orchard and the garden;
when the forest and the mines send up
samples of innumerable resources; when
foundr es, machine shops FORCES, manufac-
turers, and artisans in all manner of han
diwork, are represented in handsome dis
plays of genius and skill; when our live
stock growers contribute SO many fine spec
linens of the important interests in their
charge; when refining art and architecture
come, too, with their evidences Of Virginia
talent of the highest cultivation, and visi-
tors from all sections of the country and
military display-verily, the season will be
one reviving and terminating in all its
features.
The Farmers Assembly viii convene
Thursday of the Fair week. The session
at Charlottesville in August planned much
work for the coming occasion, and it is to
be hoped full delegations from all parts of
the State will be present. There are many
and vital questions affecting our producing
interests which will be considered. What
higher thought can animate any bosom
than the desire for prosperous agriculture
in Virginia? The best plans we can make
to secure the accomplishment of 1t is by
farmers taking counsel together.
Their union aud their deliberations can
effect move than all other efforts combined.
Always calm and rejecting wisely, this,
more than any heretofore, viii be an occa-
sisn for judicious thought and well directed
action.

A WORD OF COUNSEL.

We give the telegraphic news from the
election in Ohio yesterday up to the time
of going to press, but as it is impossible to
form correct Judgment of the result so
soon, we would counsel our readers not to
allow themselves to be unduly elated by
good news nor depressed by what may
seem to be unfavorable news. 1t is very
large State, and an unusually large vote
will be cast, and as it will be probably
close, it may be some days before the re-
suit can be definitely aseertained. AS the
Democrats made no calculation on carrying
the State Of Ohio, and felt confident of
electing their ticket without it, the failure
to carry this election will furnish no cause
of dependency, but on the contrary they
will have cause to be encouraged unless the
Republicans carry it by considerable ma
jority. We do not believe that Blaine can
be elected, whatever the result in Ohio may
be. We believe that Cleveland will carry
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana, and the Southern States, more than
are sufficient to elect him. If the Repub-
licans lost the election yesterday in Ohio,
which we can scarcely believe, there is not
a ghost of a chance for Blaine.

GREAT FIRE IN LIBERTY, BEDFORD
CoUNTY-FoURTEEN HOUSES BURNED
The town of Liberty, county seat of Bed
ford county, twenty-five miles west of
Lynchburg, on tho Norfolk and Western
railroad, was visited by a disastrous con-
migration at an early hour Sunday morn
ing, which destroyed about one-half Of the
business portion of the town. The fire,
which was Of incendiary origin, was started
in frame storehouse ON Bridge street, oc-
cupied BY j. N. Early, about 3 A. NJ, and
swept away fourteen business houses and
badly damaged others before it was stopped
by the blowing up of house with powder.
Houses occupied by the following firms
were totally destroyed: R. R. Clayton &
Co., Shanklin, Campbell & Co., Buford
Brothers, dry goods; j. A. Wright, sad
dlery; J. W. Mccormick, Jake Oppenhelm:
u G. Hopkins, drug store: A. Hirsh, M.
Wolf, clothier; Sentinel newspaper; E. G..
Abbott, j. N. Early, A. W. Robinson,
VIM. Kelly, general store, and W. j. Jen-
nings & Co.. confectionery. The loss is
estimated between $685. and $4,000,
and only about one-third is covered by in
surance. The same town was nearly de-
stroyed by fire last year, and is without
prot ection from fire, no water being OBJ
tainable. The Lynchburg fire department
responded to an appeal for help, but ar
rived after the fire had been gotten under
control.

Register! Register!

We call the attention of our friends to the
Importance of having every Democrat in
their precincts, who are entitled to Register
and are not registed, to do so, on, or before,
the 25th of October. No one can cote arho
is not registered.
The Registration Books are open all the
year, except ten days before each election
and you can register at any time before the
books close on the tenth day before election.
The books will close on the 25th of October
this Fall, and to vote at the Congressional
and Presidential election this fall, all votes
must be registered on or before the close of
tho books on Saturday the 25th of this
month. At shutdown On that day the
books close, and no one can register after
that, before the election, and no one can
vote who is not registered. Those who will
become of age between the 25th of October
and the day of election must register be-
fore the books are closed on the 25th of
October. The law provides that such can
register before that time.
You must be resident Of this State one
year, and the county three months before an
election and be registered to vote. Give
this your attention.
1t is high time we were actively at work
in all the precints. All we need is our full
vote at the polls, and that can be done il
each Democrat will do his duty. Let nc
one falter at this important election.

facture of the fabrics has commenced. and
soon the poor mans cottage, as well as the
mansion of the rich, can have it's tasteful
decorations as part Of the necessary finish.
Philadelphia has its immense factory, but
receives its supplies of wood of the kinds
referred to from Mercer county in West
Virginia, on the line of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad extension to the Taze-
well coalfields. Chicago has another, and,
like Philadelphia, sends long distances for
wood supplies. Right here at Staunton
the largest and most select of the favorite
woods grow in immense forests. With
means of communication to Highland and
beyond, the material could be obtained to
any amount Start the factory, no matter
On how small the scale, with facilities to
command the material, and it would only
be a question of time when the Queen City
Of the Virginia Valley would rival any 9th
er place in the production of her designs in
house-finishing material and the most
beautiful cabinet wares.
1t is not an easy matter, however, to get
away from considering the benefits which
would accrue to the city and country in
connection with agriculture and it's kindred
pursuits. The districts surrounding Church
vile. Parnassus, Stribling Springs, Leba1l-
on, and the slopes of the great mountains
on the northwestern borders of Augusta,
through all the country of the gallant
Highlanders with their industries, and so
on to the interior of West Virginia, are
producing regions Of great value.
Nor is the foregoing the only field Staun-
ton has to cultivate with watchful care and
generous friendship. The districts of
Middlebrook, Newport, New Providence,
Brownsburg, Walkers and Hays's creeks,
and the long line Of mountain country in
tersecting with the North river valley be-
low the Goshen pass have scarcely known
any other place than STANTON for the sale
of produce and the purchase of supplies.
The time may not be distant when Staun-
ton will have to consider all these matters
as indicated in the commencement of this
article, and, until then, what has been said
is doubtless sufficient.
