The Fair.

The time for our annual fair ap-
proaches. 1t is proper that we should
call attention to the programme which is
alike creditable to the Committee of
Staunton's Board of Trade, the City
Council and the Directory of the Fair
Association. No effort seems to have
been spared to make this, the 22nd ex
hibition, all that could be desired by
those interested, and we predict as a re-
ward for the enterprise and effort maj l.
tested a result which will not only be
gratifying. but which will materially aid
our section in the advertisement it will
give to resources which seek develop
ment, and which must add to the mater
ial advancement of the commonwealth,
when they have been recognized by the
capital which seeks investment in what
we have to offer.
The contest of counties in this exhibit
ton, aside from the agricultural and
stock resources, which will be present.
contemplates competition, as between
Buena Vista, Iron Gate, Waynesboro,
and other points, pressing their claims
for outside consideration, which will at
tract capital to aid in true development.
These annual fairs are to be used as a
means of advertising what all have to
put upon the market, as well as school,
in which all people are to be educated.
No lesson is so impressive as an object
lesson, and no means can be employed
which will convey to the mind of the
spectator all that it is desired to impress
like the exhibition of resources. The
farm, the home, the mine, the factory
the inventive talent Of our district will
make use of this opportunity Every
industry will be represented and in adj
dition, amusements of all sorts and music
will contribute to the pleasure Of our
people in this fair of 1885,

STAUNTON AND AUGUSTA COUNTY.

sTAUNToN AND AUGUSTA COUNTY.
There is hardly more attractive town
anywhere in the country than Staunton
Situated in the centre of the historic
valley of Virginia, with healthy ano
inyigorating climate, the centre of female
education, with refined and cultivated
population, there is everything to at
tract new population. Our industrial
4 interests are growing, and soon with the
development of other plans and improve
ments, we shall have added values OF
vast magnitude. AT no very distant day
we shall have a line of electric street
railway, betting the town and greatly
aiding the growth of the city. We have
already electric lights, electric fire alarm,
the finest water works in the country, a
/ splendid system of public schools, and
every comfort and convenience OF any
modern city. At the intersection OF two
great railway lines, our transportation
facilities are unsurpassed Our business
men are active, energetic, and fully up to
all the demands of the newest systems
of trade, and our market affords full
prices for all the products of the land.
Staunton is the capital city OF Au-
gusta county, county rich in all that
goes to make up values; peopled by
hardy, honest and industrious popula-
ton; accustomed to industry, frugallty
and labor; producing wealth and com
10
tions for future growth.
October LIST, end, 3rd and 4th, Staun-
ton and Augusta county, united with
Bath, Highland, Allegheny and Rock
ingham, will exhibit at the Baldwin Dis
trict Fair the evidences of the labor and
products of the past year. Let every
citizen do his best to make this fair the
most creditable we have ever had. Bring
to it the first fruits of the land and the
handsomest handiwork of your fair
daughters. Show to the world the fer
tility of your lands and the abundance of
your resources, and demonstrate what
can be accomplished by active, intelli-
gent and industrious labor of muscle
and brain.
The people of Staunton will turn out
with their accustomed energy and ac
tivity. This year there will be grand
Trades Parade, and the merchant, me-
chanic Or artisan, who fails to secure a
place in the parade, will be Gladly left, p"
and will fail of a great opportunity to do
a good thing for our town, and to adver-
tise his business in most attractive
manner.
Capt Jno. McQuaide is now visiting
our people, in order to complete the final
arrangements for the trades parade.
Let all be prepared, when he calls to give
definite answer as to what they will do,
and we trust that none will refuse to
unite in making this feature of fair week
grand success.
Persons from the county who may
! have teams to hire for reasonable com
pensation, will please communicate with
Capt. John McQuaide. Also carpenters
will be wanted to build floats for the use
of the merchants. They can find en-
ployment by calling on the same gentle

Value of Advertising.

1t was an encouraging sight, Saturday
last, at the sale of the Menifee farm, to
see two gentlemen, both of large means,
one from Chicago and one from Cleve-
land Ohio, the chief bidders This
farm was advertised by Richard S. Ker,
commissioner, in two of the Staunton
papers. Mr.. W. H. Brew, who purchas-
ed the farm Saturday last, saw the ad-
vePtisement in one of the STANTON pa
pers, and at once wrote to Mr.. Ker max
ing enquiries about the place and asking
for a fuller description of the property.
Upon receipt of Mr.. Ker's letter, he came
on to Staunton, with his wife and daugh-
ter, and as has already been stated, be-
came the purchaser of the farm Satur-
day last.
Mr.. Brew has been auditor of Cayu-
hago county for - years. He is Presi-
dent of the County Board of Supervisors,
and gentleman Of large means, He and
his wife were both greatly pleased with
Staunton and the surrounding country.
The gentleman who bid actively against
Mr.. Brew, has visited Staunton fire.
quently during the last IS months, and
has large interests here. He too appre-
ciates the advantages of Staunton, and
is greatly pleased with its location, fine
climate, school advantages and its peo-
pie. He was anxious to buy the Menifee
farm, but the Ohio man had come for
business, and would not be beaten. We
trust the gentleman from Chicago will
find a place to suit him. All who have
met him during his visits here, are great
ly pleased with him. 1t is just such
men as these two that we need in our
town and county, gentlemen OF fine
abilities, of social qualities and business
qualifications, which make them desir-
able citizens in any community.
We are sure our people will unit with
us in extending them an earnest well
come to our town, and in inviting others
like them to come among US, with a guar
antee of a kindly greeting and friendly
welcome, which shall give them the as
surance that we are the friends of all
who come among us, and will make them
feel that they are at home.

"He, She, Him and Her.

The dramatic season in this city open
ed on Wednesday evening, September
18th, with the highly humorous and en-
tertaining farcial and pantominical COM
edy, He, She, Him and Her" a previ-
Gus appearance of this troupe in Staun-
ton has falniIarized the put lie or part
of it, with the distinctive characteristics
of this play, if play it may be called. 1t is
rather a series OF happy go-lucky epis-
odes and ridiculous situations which APP
pear to fit into each other without much
design or plot in the background, but
which afford, Notwithstanding. an I'M
limited scope for those qualifications for
fun-making owned in an inimitable de-
gree by the leading comedian, Mr..
George Adams. To him Miss TOma
Hanlon as ''Tootsie" forms an irresistible
companion-piece, charming alike in
pathos, in comedy and in song. OF the
latter the lovely song of ''Marguerite''
took the lead both for its intrinsic merit
and for its adaptability to the voice of
this fairest and rarest of "Tootsies."
This happily matched pair were gener-
ously and evenly supported by as clever
a body of comedians in every respect,
as could well have been anticipated or
desired.
Also there We're number of ''taking''
songs, solos, trios, quartettes, and so
forth we'll disposed so as to bring out the
good points of several excellent voices
among other members of the support.
This entertainment is the initial feature
in an excellent repertoire of amusements
booked to appear in order at the Opera
House during this fall and the coming
winter. Thanks to Manager Olivier, the
selections are all happy, and calculated
to attract a full house each time. On
this occasion the new Opera House or
chestra made its maiden effort, attract
ing good deal of attention by its hand
some rendition of a carefully arranged
program.
This addition to the further attrac-
tions of the Opera House is of quite
material Importance supplying as it will
long felt want and proving laudable
stimulus for the encouragement of our
amateur talent.

Prof. K.able's School.

The Staunton Military School opens
this session, with larger list of pupils
than any previous year. There are now
in the building nearly 100 boarding pu-
pills, and 25 or so day scholars.
Friday morning last telegram was
received from w. W. Gibbs, Esq, bust
ness manager of the school, who has
been in Texas the past two months,
stating that he would arrive on the F. F.
V. train from the West, with AZ boys
from Texas and Arkansas. A large num-
Der of citizens and the StoneWall Band
were at the depot, to give the boys
welcome, but the train was several hours
late and the Band could not stay There
was a large crowd at the depot, however,
when the train came in, having attached
in the rear the sleeping vestibule car

were taken up to the school grounds, in

and vehicles with small flags, which gave

We unite with our citizens generally
in commendation of Prof. Kable's school.
and congratulate the business manager,
Mr.. W. W. Gibbs, on his splendid succ ess
in working up so fine patronage.
We unhesitatingly say that parents do
well in committing their sons to the care
Of Prof. Kable. His school is splendidly
equipped. His corps of instructors is
large, thoroughly qualified and selected
with great care, for the special work
they have to do. The success of this
school has been attained upon merit
and not by gaudy show and parade.

Louisville Courier Journal: Some time
ago, Gen John Echols, sent copy of
1.-The Life of Rev. Steve Holcomber to
the Rev. d. X. Mcfarland, prominent
Presbyterian minister of Virginia Gen.
Echols was himself much interested
in the book and sent it to his friend,
and has just received a letter ac-
knowledging the receipt of the work.
From the letter the following extract
is TAKEN
'The book, which you were so kind
as to send me some two or three months
since, came after l had started from
home upon my summer trip | have
since received it and read it with great
pleasure and great profit. 1 had heard
OF the man "Steve Holcombe," and his
work, but had never before any proper
conception of either
The narrative is In truth a thrilling
one, and, | think, furnishes one of the
strongest testimonies to the genuineness
and divine power of our Christianity
that L have ever read. There is a large
class of people that will be helped by
reading this book. 1t strengthens the
faith OF any of us to read such a mar
vel of grace as the conversion and career
of this man furnishes.

A New Street.

The policy of opening new streets
ought to engage the attention of the
City Council While there is no boom
here, there is steady Improvement in
the business of Staunton, and an in
creasing demand for conveniently To-
Gated residences. There is a good deal
OF land, well located for building, If it
were approached by suitable streets. AS
it is, very little revenue is derived from
it. If it were available, it could be laid
off in lots and offered for sale on reason
able terms. A new street running from
Augusta, by Bagby's factory,t to Green ST.,
would open number of desirable build
ing lots, which could be soon improved
and become sources of revenue to the
city. 1t would furnish a convenient APP
proach to the water works. with II much
better grade than that now leading to
reservoir hill over the only street
opened. There is a fifteen foot alley
reserved good part of the way from
Lewis to Green and sufficient additional
territory could be secured at moderate
cost, to make a wellproportioned street
and d popular thoroughfare.
The present council is the most en-
lightened and progressive the city has
had for years. 1t sees the necessity for
public improvements, and does not hest
tate to make them, at the same time the
treasury is safely guarded 1t is public
spirited, sagacious and nervy, and we
are sure will favorably consider any feas-
able plan or project to enlarge the ac-
