The CATHOLIC FAIR began under very
inauspicious circumstances on Monday even
ing last, the rain having come in time to
spoil the attendance. The managers have
made really handsome room of Mr.. Jos.
A. Weddle's shop by stretching curtains
and Hastily trimming them and their tables.
The display is one of unusual excellence,
the work in the fancy notion department
being the finest ever displayed in our town.

Jas. H. Fraley of Catoctin Furnaces, left for

civil service every time. He is thoroughly
qualified for the position and we congratu-
late all parties to the appointment.

WHENCE CAME 1T ?-Immediately after
the heavy rainfall on Monday evening last
we found on the pavement in front Of our
residence one of the largest bull frogs we
have ever seen. 1t was genuine double x
bass more-rum, the like of which is not to be
found in the branch which passes several
hundred yards from our door and as it is
more than one-fourth of a mile to the creek
we are not disposed to believe that it had
wandered that far. 1t was almost helpless
and we picked it up without its pretending
to move. Could IT have come down with
the rain

pear, are some of the leading horticultu-
raj products. Sea island cotton, corn,
sugar cane and pinders are some of the
best field crops. Along the road from
here to the White Sulphur Springs in
Hamilton County I saw millions of sala-
mander hills. The salamander is little
smaller than common squirrel, and is
seldom ever caught unless dug out of the
ground. 1 see them frequently. Ne
groes eat them. The little animal gnaws
and spoils the fruit trees and eats sweet
potatoes. The gopher is as large as four
terrapins, and looks something like a
terrapin. They are as current as postage
stamps in some places, and sell at from
thirty to sixty cents each.
This County is settling up very rapidly
by the colored people. Many of them
buy the cheap lands, and have homes Of
their own. Only few of them are pos
sessed of any education, but they nearly
all wear good clothing. The measles are
still in this country, and the people are
dying from them, or some malady COM
bined with them.
The relatives and many friends OF

here at Live Oak several years ago when
