E. M. Sargent, Lowell, Mass, says =
Several years ago, my daughter broke
out with large sores on her hands
face. and other parts of her body. The
case puzzled the doctors. Ny laughter
used Ayers Sarsaparilla, and il resulted
in a complete cure. Her blood seems 10

has never had so much as plmple
since taking this medicine"
This is to certify that after having
been sick for twelve years with kidney

The Fair.

The Roanoke and Tar River Agricul>
tural Society held its annual far at Wei
don last week. The crowds were not SO
large as usual, especially were there
fewer colored people. The exhibits of
stock, poultry, grain, and other farm
and garden products were tolerably good.
The art display was up to the usual
standard.
The wines from the Medoc Vineyard
were said 10 be among the best display.
This is mammoth enterprise for Halifax
county. Mr.. fl. S. Harrison manages it
with great ability and the products of the
Medoc Vineyard are well known all over
the country.
The D Irham tobacco display was one
of the most attractive things at the far.
Mr.. J. D Goodwin, who was in charge
has proved himself to be the peer Of any
man in the land in arranging displays.
The famous Durham Bull was displayed
in manner not t. be surpassed. 1t was
the same display used at the State fair.
d "
bacco, globe resting on the bulls back,
and wind mill of tobacco with pyramids
and every brand manufactured by the
Blackwell tobacco company.
The bull was feet long and 81 feet
high. The globe resting on his back was
feet in diameter, representing every
country in the world.
The whole was mounted on a pyramid
of tobacco with miniature bulls on top of
globe-and at the feet Of the bull,
Mr. Goodwin was one Of the busiest
men at the fair, giving out cards, pic
! lures, posters, &c, &c.
! The racing at the fair wos generally
considered good.
One of the chief attractions was the
presence of Governor Fowlo on Wednes
day and Thursday.
On Thursday Gov. Fow!e was escorted
to the ground stand by the Oxford Cadets
and the Scotland Neck Mounted Rifle
men. He wa Introduced by Senator
Ransom. who said as many good thing,
as any other man could say il the same
time. Gov. fo7le spoke only shor
time, but was especially entertaining il
bis reference to the ex-Coniederato sol
diers.
Chief Marshal Hart, of Rocky Mount
was good one and pleased the people.
The fair was considered il many re
spects equal to whatlt has been il form
or years.
The increased number Of gamblers wa
noticeable and Gale forth many unfav
orable remarks by visitors.

The individual who pays the subscrip-
ton price in support of his home paper,
gets the full worth of his money with
compound interest; for, besides giving
the local news concerning the movements
and whereabouts Of acquaintance and
friends, 1t is a compendium Of general in
formation, IN fact first class encyclop-
@dia. 1t gives you political, educational
and religious news items that are well
worth preserving. A yearly volume Of
any home paper contains matter worth
for more to you than books OF reference.
Consider for a moment the care. the
work, the tedious and arduous labor ex.
pended by the editor and typos in getting
out each issue; then, the immense amount
of free advertising the paper contributes
