A Good Medium to Spread Your
Business.

The agricultural fair of the District AS
ISOLATION in Staunton, in October, will
differ in many respects from those which
have preceded it. 1t will draw q large
representation from Rockingham, Rock
bridge, Page, Albemarle, Nelson. High
land, Bath and Allegheny. besides the
usual attendance from Augusta. 1t will
not only bring larger attendance, but a
class of visitors who do not drop in in the
day and return home at night. It is i'm
portant to our merchants to reach such a
large assemblage with notices of their
business. Capt. W. III. .Fowle has provided
for that, and will issue his annual Pro-
gramme Of the Fair daily, with circula-
tion increased to 10000. AS it will contain
the programme for each day, it will be
used and kept during their stay by the
visitors, which will make it a most valu-
able medium for our merchants to use in
the way of advertising. On former occa-
sions his distribution of it has been thor
ough and widespread, and special atten-
tion in this regard will be paid the larger
edition to be issued at the coming fair.
