The universal respect aud good

The Anderson county fair has
been in progress this week, and it
proved great success. financially
and otherwise, The live.stoc ex.
hibit was excellent, and the races
were numerous and interesting
The exhibit of farm products was
not ST large as it has been some
years, but it was splendid, never
thcess. The corn exhibit was es.
pecially good. Charley Vaughn, OF
Jackson township, took first pre-
MUM on corn We did not learn
the names of the other exhibitors.
Floral hall was well patronized by
hibitors and the art department was
unusually fine,
The success of the fair this
year insures its continuance. The
fair officials, exhibitors and attend.
ants are well pleased with it.
Much of the success Of the fair is
due to the energy of Secretary Pat
ton, who is tireles worker, and
knows no such word as fail.

ROAD AGENTS.
They Robbed the Railroad Station at
Diamond Springs.

Word was received in this city yes
terday that the railroad station agent
al Diamond Springs, small town on
the Placerville line, between Ell Dorado
and Placerville, was held up at the
point of a pistol by two men on Thurs
day evening and forced to open the
companys safe, from which a sum of
money amounting to nearly $50 was
taken.
The story told by the agent is to the
effect that as he was closing the sta
ton preparatory to going home two
men approached him. One of them
stuck a pistol in his face, at the same
time telling him to go quietly back and
open the safe. Seeing no way out of
the trouble, he was forced to comply,
and stood by while the robbers looted
the strong box.
After the safe had been ransacked
the thieves compelled the agent to walk
with them down the track, the better to
enable them to escape without an alarm
being given until they had a good start
The station at Diamond Springs is a
full half-mile from the town. and by
the time the agent arrived there and
spread the alarm it was too late to eff
feet a capture.
Neither of the men appeared to have
been masked, and a very fair descrip-
tion has been sent to the officers
throughout this section of the State.

IN NEED.
Aid Asked of the County for J. W..
Ouillinan'S Family,

E. c. Hart appeared before the Board
CT Supervisors yesterday and asked If
something could be done toward re-
lieving the family of j. W. Quillinan,
who met with severe accident re-
Gently by which one of his legs was
broken.
Mr.. Hart stated that Mr.. Quillinan
has a large family for whom he is un-
able to provide. He was injured while
employed on work that was being done
for the county, and while he (Hart) did
not contend that the county is liable, in
legal sense, he thought that perhaps
the Supervisors might deem it proper
to extend some aid to the family.
On the motion of Morrison, the mat
ter was referred to Supervisor Todd, in
whose district Quillinan lives and he is
TO consult with the District Attorney as
to the right of the county to extend aid
in the matter
1t was explained that Supervisor
Todd had thus far looked after the
wants OF the family, and that they have
not been allowed to suffer. Darby
Laydon, who had the contract for con-
structing the bridge, has assisted Nh
Quillinan since his accident, but as it
viii be some time before the latter will
be able to work, it is asked that the
county shall do something for him.

TIMELY GIFTS.
Mrs. O. c. Booths Recent Presenta-
tiOn to the Y. w. G. A.

The members and friends or the
Young Women's Christian Association
are rejoicing over new acquisition In
the generous gift of Mrs. 0. c. Booth,
consisting of an elegant Hallet & Da-
Wis square grand piano, together with
sideboard, dining table, stoves, book
case, oil paintings, etc, all of Whlch
serve to make the headquarters for
young women more attractive ana
homelike
Some three years ago the ladies gave
an entertainment to create piano
fund, and this netted a neat little sum,
but at the time of the general financial
depression it was necessary to apply
this in other directions, and they have
since been indebted to the generosity OF
two prominent music firms of this city
for instruments, for which they desire
| to express their thanks.
The light IuncheonS that are being
served now seem to meet with the ap-
prevail of all who attend. An order for
one dish receives the same courteous
service as though the whole menu We're
called for. Women who find themselves

On Tuesday evenings the Home Cir
