TO THE VOTERS OF
AUGUSTA COUNTY.
Office of the Baldwin Augusta Fair,

'
April 22nd, 1885.
Acting for the Baldwin Augusta Fair as a
Committee from its Directory, to bring before
the people in the May election, the question
sustaining this institution, and putting 1t on
permanent foundation, by directing levy
in accordance with its charter passed January
18th, 1867. which provides, THAT the court of
Augusta county in laying the levy for any year
may provide fund not exceeding five cents on
each inhabitant of the county, as shown by
the next preceding census; and the Council of
ner, provide fund subject to like Limitation,
to be paid over in each case to the Augusta
County Fair, and to be expended in suitable
prizes to be offered at the fairs or other eXh1-
billions conducted by the corporation"
The necessities of the fair requiring such q
guarantee fund. and as means of establishing
its usefulness the Board have resolved to APP
peal to the people for whom, and by whom, it
was organized.
Col. Baldwin was the author of this clause,
and he believed this insignificant contribution
by the people to sustain the fair, would place
1t beyond the contingencies of weather. and
enable it to promptly redistribute to our peo-
pie in the form of premiums, the money which
their public spirit contributed to put upon a
solid foundation an organization whose aim is
mote thrift among its people.
Feeling that you will be interested to secure
the success of this proposition, we request that
you will be at your precinct on the day of cleo
ton, and urge upon the voters the adoption OF
the section above presented.

A large proportion of the diseases which '
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are n safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel OF any other injurious ingredient.

LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me. and
are my constant companion. | have been
a severe sufferer from Headache and YOUR
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my

RAIN, RAIN-TEE DELIGHTFUL RAIN.-The
long dry season has at length been broken, and
copious showers have come to revive and in
yigorate suffering vegetation. and to cheer the
heart of man. For several days previous to
last Friday, leaden clouds, apparently motion
less, were spread between the horizons gradual
ly lowering in space. The atmosphere indicat-
ed the approaching blessing which came Fri
day, and continued till Monday in many gentle,
and few heavy, showers The sun was out
Monday morning, the temperature was delight
full, and the fields, the gardens, the orchards,
the forests and all nature in lovely green and
charming bloom and blossom, expressed mute,
but eloquent, thankfulness as the SUMS glow
ing rays impaired their animating powers.
The needed rain was general, and its widely
extended fall has been equal to the want. From
some localities come reports Of injury to fields
and gardens. but we think it is slight, and the
universal gratitude indicates that all have rea-
son to rejoice at the great blessing received.
