The proposition to organize a District Fair Is
receiving considerable attention in some of the
counties which have been mentioned in con-
nection with it. In addition to those already
named, it is thought that in Page county there
are number of gentlemen disposed to aid in
the movement. A writer in the Rock bridge
Neaos has presented the subject to the citizens
of that county in a practical manner. In Rock
ingham, the movement is still favorably re-
ceived. and several citizens of that county have
visited this city for the purpose of conference
with the Board of Directors of the Baldwin, u-
gusta Fair. 1t requires some consideration to
give the enterprise start. and moreover, time
is needed to place the matter fairly before the
people of the entire section that 1t is thought
will come into the scheme.
At the conference held here Monday last, 1t
was deemed best to appoint day for the second
meeting sufficiently distant that the inter-
vening time would be ample for the opportu-
nifty of CQurt-day in each county at which
the matter could be discussed by the people in
terested. And to this end, correspondence will
be opened with several gentlemen in all the
counties; after which. more vii be known of
the prospect, and the consideration of a plan
Of action better matured.
The counties which it IL proposed shall then
take the matter up, are Augusta, Rockingham,
Page, Albemarle. Rock bridge. Allegheny, Bath,
and Highland. Tuesday. the 10th of January.
has been appointed as the day, and staunton
as the place for the meeting to be held. The
newspapers in the counties named are request
ed to notice the movement and the time and
place for the meeting.

ton, "Will the adoption of law furnishing all
public school children text books at the ex-
pense of the State prove beneficial to the pub
lie school SYSTEM" called out full and spirit
ed debate. The affirmative was maintained by
Messrs. Roller and Dyche, and Miss Hoover of

Mrs. Jas. Blosser is quite i'll at her residence
in this place.
Our town will present the claims of Mr.. G. T.
Jordan to the Board of Education for the ap-
pointment of County Superintendent of
Schools. Mr.. Jordan is progressive teacher,
and has been connected with the public schools
ever since they have been in operation. He is
gentleman of fine classical education and a
graduate of Roanoke College. where he gradu-
ated with great honor. He is Chairman Of the
Democratic Committee at this place, and great
ly has he benefited his party by his earnest
and jealous work. Let this widely popular
young gentleman be appointed and we are
quite sure he will do ample justice to all. Let
not the chronic Office seekers have all the
places. but let us encourage those who. during
a campaign, put their shoulders to the wheel
and never look back until victory is assured
Such progressive man is Mr.. Jordan.
Winter seems to be upon us with all its ter
rors for the poor. and as the poet says, God

Your correspondent was in Staunton one day
last week, and could not help wondering why
IL was that it took three policemen to guard
Hainess Corner while a lot of the 'rouekr' of
the city were cavorting down at Hounihah's.-
If they had been country boys they would
have been jerked and f1ned-hence the posting
of land all over the county.

city police, for in the discharge of their official
duties they are mo respecters of persons" and
will arrest a citizen of Staunton as quickly as
a citizen of the county when their duty de-
mands it.-ED.l

Mr.. Massey's Vote.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SPEcTAToR:-The
indicator. in Its last issue, contains the fol-
lowing paragraph
SIN a total vote of over Isl. 900 Virginia DEM
ocrats, John e. Massey, for It, Gov. only fell
six hundred and f1fty-six votes behind Fitz
Lee! So much for the predictions of those who
were unw1se enough TO kick against the NOM
ination ofthis veteran Democrat on the ground
of his unayailabi,ity."
The VSndicasor in this statement falls into
gross error. as the official vote, published in
Its columns, plainly attests. Fitz Lee for Gov
ernor. received 2.5l4 votes: Ayers for Attor
ney-General, received 1926 voJes; Massey for
Lieutenant Governor. received 1919 votes. 1t
thus appears that Massey fell three thousand.
three hundred and hirty.fve uotes behind Fitz
Lee. These thousands of Democrats-of whom
this writer was not one-onaitted, for reasons
mo doubt satisfactory to themselves, to vote
for Mr.. Massey. It is best, perhaps, under the
circumstances. to refrain from any discussion
of this result; but, at the same time, there
should be no misconception as to the fact.

STAnNTON VA

STAUNToN, VA, Dec. Is, 1885,.
10 THE CITIZENS OF STAUNTON AND Angus
IA Colon behalf of the Staunton Artillery,
which have the honor to command, / wish to
appeal to you for contributions to aid in the
purchase of new uniforms for the Company
We have been organized now for more than
eight years, and IN all that time, have not ask
ed the aid of the public, mean while furnishing
ourselves with uniforms and going to consid-
erahle other expense in keeping up our organ
izatiop. How necessary to the good of a COM
munity such an organization is, it is needless
for me to say. Everyone knows that times and
occasions sometimes come in a town a coun-
ty when the main hope and stay of the author
tiles is in some well-organized and disciplined
company of troops. While we all hope that no
such occasion may ever arise for us here in our
peaceful little city, there is no man wise
enough, prophetic enough, to say when it may
come the StauntOn Artillery proudly points
to its past record in the belief that it has gain
ed the confidence of the people. and for this
reason makes its appeal for aid in its hour of
need. Contributions will be thankfully re-
ceived and economically used. We give our
time and our labor-all we ask is that you may
help us with very small part of your means,
that, should the day ever come, we may be able
to protect the remainder.
Respectfully, J. T. LONG,
Captain Staunton Artillery.

The STAUNToN ARTILLERY-NEw UNIFORM.
In well-considered and plain statement of
facts. Capt. J. Theo. Long, commanding the
Staunton Artillery Company, presents the ne
cessities of that organization to the kindly con-
consideration of the people of this city. 1t is
diff cult task at best to keep alive our military
organizations. Periodically. some extra assist
ance is indispensable if We would maintain
them at all. This Company is almost destitute
of uniform, and the worthy Captain and his
command have by their own exertions raised
small amount of money, but nothing like
the required sum which new outfit will cost,
We hope the appeal for help will not be in vain.
He presents many good reasons to sustain bis
application. A small sum from many gener-
ously disposed will meet the case. Let US all
give the Artillery a helping hand.

ing burnt to death. She was standing in
front of brisk fire in her room on the Sec

flames She ran scr nnU mas from tbe room
down stairs, where her husband and several
others came to her rescue. They succeeded
in smothering the flames before Mrs. Hull
was much injured, though not until her
clothing was burned to shreds. In his eff

was very severely hurt, his right hand be-
