Dlstric5 Fair.

We call attention to the communication
of Maj. Geo. Chrisman, taken from the
Harrisonburg Farm and Home, proposing
a District Agricultural apd Mechanical
FAIR to be located at Staunton. The mer-
its of the suggestion are so well stated by
Mai. Chrisman, that nothing we could add
would give them more force and Dromi-
nence that. they possess. Coming from.one
Of the most sagacous and successful STOCK
breeders and farmers and publlc-spirlted
citizens in the Commonwealth the propo-
sition ought to be taken hold of and pushed
to a successful consummation. The truth
of what the communication contains is a
matter of knowledge with the managers OF
of the Baldwin Augusta Fair. They have
struggled with an unselfish and self-sacrifi-
cling devotion to the interests of the Coun-
Sty Fair rarely equalled, yet every year they
lind the difficulties IN the way of common
surate success greater than in the year pre-.
ceding. Yet they have courageously en-
countered the most adverse conditions,
and kept the Fair alive under circum-
stances. which attest their pluck and en-
ergy.
If Maj. Chrisman's suggestion is prop
erly supported, it is possible to build up a
a splendid Fair, which will compensate in
the results for all the trouble and yexation
which have heretofore been experienced.
Let the press of the several counties
PANIED. and the public spirited citizens of
each lake hold of the matter, and make a
success of it.
