Some enemy of the Sheuand Oah County
Fair. and of course an enemy to the pros
nar;tv and people OF the county general
r. has started a report that an extra
charge would be made for Pawnee Bills
Great Wild West Indian Show. There is
- ono word of truth IN this, and the
nortv or partles who started it knew it to
bo fslse This wonderful exhibition will
no c;ven each day on the track and the
,,ronnd within the circle, and will be free
TO all who haye admission to the fair
ground.
Tho Winchester fair held last week,
was q success Notwithstanding the rain.
The display of fine stock was particularly
GOOD The muddy condition of the track
interferred with the racing, but the
crowd was large and all seemed to enjoy
themselves. Quite a number from this
nlace and from the county generally
visited the fair. The parade and drill OF
the snlendld Washington Light Infantry
was a marked and enjoyable feature of
the fair.
Mary Carter, a colOred giantess, died in
Roanoke on Monday night. She was
woman of enormous frame and when IN
health weighed 800 pounds. Some time
before her death she was attacked by
dropsv. which swelled her to such enor-
nous proportions that coffin large
enoush could not be found in the city,
and the undertakers were compelled to
make one out of one of the large pack
inc cases in which the collins are shipped
from the factories, and in which there
was no room to spare.
Nj. Jacob Funk, Sen, of the Fort, sent
rs the rattles of very large snake which
he killed in his field on Tuesday morn
ing, while blowing. Mr.. Daniel Glenn,
who brought us the rattles, and who was
present when the snake was killed, says
il was huge one and no mistake. 1t
had nineteen rattles, but unfortunately
Mr.. Funk mashed off part of them in
killing it. Never before within the
recollection OF any one have these snakes
been as plenty in our mountains as this
season.
Capt. W. A. A. Albeit, who has long

good qualities of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. having used it in my family
for the past eight years, can safely say
it has no equal for either colds or croRp."
