RAvENswooD FAIR-We spent
one day last week at the Ravens
wood District Fair. The fair was
largely attended, Mason comfy lib
orally assisting in swelling the
numbers
The show of cattle, horses, sheep
and swine, would be hard to sur
pass, and was nearly equal to the
display of stock at our own fair
In the display of farm machinery
and agricultural products, they sur
pass our county exhibits, in that de-
partment. The Floral Hall was fill
ed with nice things, the work of the
ladies, and we believe the display
in this hall was better than we gem
orally have at our floral hall. The
little daughters of Hon. JAS. III,
Couch. Jr., of this town, took quite
a number of premiums on fancy
work and hand painting.
The racing was good and very
large number of horses were enter
ed in the speed ring; and the most
of them have been entered to CON
test for the purses this week at our
fair.
Proclamation, owned by Messrs.
Bright and Wiley, won the big
pacing race ON Friday.
The President, Hon. E. w Brown
and Secretary, Jim McGlothlin, did
the nice thing by us, and treated
us royalty.
We met a number of old acquain-
tances, all of whom seemed glad to
meet us. Among them were ex-
Senator Chas. E. Brown, Mcssrs.
John Greer, VIM. Greer, J. S. Dis
worth, of sandyville, Juge f. R.
Fleming and Mr.. E. G. Smith, edi-
tor of the Ravenswood Bugle. We
also met our friends Chap Arm
strong and Mr.. G. A. Crislip, of
Spencer, Roane county. MIR. Girls
| lip is filvorably mentioned in CON
nection with the Republican nomi-
nation for State Senator for the
Fifth District He is gentleman
of ability, and would be no discredit
to the district, and if the Democrats
are going to let another Republican
Senator be elected from this district,
we hope that Republican will be
Mr.. Cyrus a. Crislip, of Roane.
We regretted to learn that Judge
Brown, was so much indisposed that
he could not get out to the fair
grounds. He has been sick for a
long: time, but we are happy to an
nounce to his host of friends. that
he is much improved, and will soon
be able to be among them again.
Ravenswood is a pretty little
town, situated high above all fear
of floods, and just now is experien-
cling a building boom, the impetus
being the certainty of the early
building of the Ravenswood and
Spencer Railroad
Friedman & Co. have got in re-
Gently a fine lot of fall clothing, and
the prices at which they are offer
ing them, astonishes everybody
There is no excuse for you now
wearing that old rusty suit of yours,
when you can buy a genteel suit at
Friedman's for almost song.

the Wheeling Sunday Register, from
