Fair of this county that comes off

now to be represented among the
exhibits either in stock or farm pro-
ducts. The ladies should strive, also
to make the floral hall more beauti-
full than ever with their needle and
other work. Everybody should do
something to add to the attraction
of the Fair. The people should
attend in large numbers. Give a
day or two of rest and recreation to
your family and workmen, by com
ing to the Fair with them. Good
horses and a very large number of
them are being entered for the
speed ring, and VIC may expect
some fine sport on the track this

Directors of the new Insane Asy lum

tract for the erection of the build
ing was let to Henry ObIeness, of

of heating and plumbing. The
foundation is already built. He
agrees to finish the work by the 10th

Davidson Brothers, of Parkersburg,
and Rust & Company, of Charleston.
The town council is setting the

tries. Chattanooga has proved
what great advantages come from
advertising; and every Southern
city will reap similar rewards from
making known its resources. We
have noticed a disposition ON the
part of some of them to expect too
immediate returns from an invest
ment of this kind. They expect to
see capital aud immigrants pouring
in at the very moment the appeal for
them is made. Chattanooga has
learnt better, has discovered that it
takes some years for this advertis-
ing to have any effect, but that if
the advantages of town are really
all it claims it need have no feal.
that capital win not ultimately find
it and build it up. Chattanooga
was one of the first Southern cities
to advertise; it was consequently
one of the first to secure its benefits

There was considerable opposition
to the order of the Council for trim
ming the shade trees along the
streets, because many believed that
the order meant the destruction of
the trees altogether; but afterall the
owners generally consented to the
trimming. The gang of trimmers
started in pretty roughly on the
trees ut first, but Mr. Loring being
put in charge of the men, the trees
were trimmed after that in neat
and tasty manner, and generally as
the property owner dictated the
work. The work is now completed,
and all must admit that it adds
much to the appearance of the
streets, and plenty of shade is still
left. The trouble is, that when the
Council decides to make any i'm
provements. irresponsible parties
start all sorts of rumors of its intcn-
ton, which the people too readily
believe, and hence is the cause of
much of the opposition that is en-
gendered. The Council have as
much interest in the town as other
citizens, and they certainly would
do nothing wrong, officially, to de-
stroy or mar the beauty of the town.
We think our Council have done
well so far this year, and they ought
to have, as they deserve, the pl;lu-
dts and and endorsement of our
people.

When people go into the Court
House park to take a rest under tho
inviting shade of the trees, they do
not like to be annoyed by a lot of
negro boys who take possession of
the grounds and keep up a whoop
and yell like "a lot of savages. If
the county officers can not keep
down this noisy mob, then the Mayor
ought to instruct his police to take
the matter in hand On Sundays
particularly, is it annoying. This
thing must be stopped, and for this
cason the matter is called to the at
tcntion of the authorities. We do
not object to any one going into the
yard, but we do protest against the
conduct of some who go there.

DEATH OF a VALUABLE HoRsE-
W. H. Hogg. Esq, the well known
breeder of Thoroughbred running
horses. met with a heavy loss in the
death of his fine bred racer, Long
dale, sired by Longfeilow. He had
trained this horse well and expected
"a big outcome in him, and had en-
tered him in the $4,000 strikes at
Washington city and New York
Longdaic promised to be the fastest
horse ever raised in this section of
the country, and it would have TAX
en- a big pile of money to have pur-
chased him.

You must not think because
Maupin has big store on both
sides of the kanawha, and because it
is in the country, that his prices are
higher than they are in town, for
such is not the fact. His prices are
as low as in any of the towns, and
his stock as good and as large. To
help and assist his neighbors and
customers in these hard times, he
has made a big cut in all summer
goods. Come and see him.
