The fair held, near Keller, this
week, under the auspices of the East.
ern Shore Agricultural Association,
was pre-eminently a success this year
in the excellence and quantity of eX-
hibits IN each department and in the
number of visitors to the grounds.
and therefore success from Il finan
cial standpoint. 1t differed from
any previous fair in the fact, that
there was scarcity in none of them OF
exhibits of superior quality as in
previous years. The display of pro-
duce was superb, of stock very fine,
of poultry excellent and the ladies
department was crowded with articles
of artistic beauty and many of them
of rare value. The display of en-
hibits was in all respects creditable
to the county 10 which we live and
such as no county in the State could
have surpassed The speed trials
were up to the standard and as usual
contributed more than its share OF
interest to its proceedings. There
was nothing to mar its pleasure, but
the dust which at times Aoated over
and enveloped the grounds.

Col. William Lamb, recently de-
posed as chairman of the republican
State committee, has issued call for
a convention to meet in Lynchburg
on the 9Th of October, ITO take into
consideration the eypediency of nom
mating candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and Attorney
General. Whether nominations are
made or not is, of course, q matter of
very little concern to the democrats
of the State,so far as it will effect the
success of the democratic ticket this
fall, but if convention is held and
contest thereby inaugurated between
two republican factions for the con-
troll of the spoils in the State it can
not be entirely devoid of interest to
them. There is always fun in a
fight between Virginia republicans
for doodle" and Col. Lamb and his
followers ought, of course, to have
an opportunity to make an "effort to
impress the Federal administration
that they are entitled to their share
of it.

No set of men deserve more at the
hands of the Government than those
in the life saving service, as the fol-
lowing from the New York Mail and
Express goes far in proving: 1t says
that the string of stations by the
edge of the sea during the last fiscal
year dealt with 437 disasters to YES
sells, having on board 4,60S persons, of
whom only 10 persisted. These yes
sells were valued at SS,SS0,140, and
their cargoes at $3,S56,3S0, yet out of
this total value of $12, 726,520 in
jeopardy, S11 1868, ITO was saved to the
owners and but $1,432, 750 was lost.
The life-saving stations extended
shelter and succor to GIG ship
wrecked persons for an aggregate of
1,436 days of relief.

Hicks Forecasts for September.

This month opens with storm
forces we'll to eastward and clearing,
cooler weather and high barometer
advancing from the west. These
conditions will change to warmer,
with storms on or about the 4th, 9Th
and high barometer, with cool. clear
ing weather, will succeed for two or
three days. From about 10th to 18th
expect very heavy storms. Look for
very cool wave and frost following
the storm area. From 18th to
18th is another period Of equi-
noctial disturbance. The same is
eminently true during 21st to oath.
a sharp change to colder will come
after storms. On and about 9th,
2Sth, many high gales and violent
inland storms are probable. High
barometer and cold will prevail as
September approaches its end.

Millions for the Farmer.

Washington, August 2S.-Assistant
Secretary Brigham, of the Agrlcul-
tural Department, to day expressed
the opinion that the American farm
ers would receive in the aggregate
from $40 100000 to S5,000,O 100000 in
excess of that received last year for
their farm products. This, he
said, means much to the farmers.
They have learned in the season OF
hard times through which they have
passed to economic and to be care
ful in buying. They will use this
money received for their crops to pay
off their debts, cancel mortgages and
make improvements on the farms and
farm buildings. This seems like q
vast sum, but statistics sustain the
claim
Colonel Brigham also predicted
that the increase in the price OF farm
products would benefit the laboring
element. The price of labor" lie
said, did not decline with the price
of farm products, and for some time
the farmer was forced to pay as much
for the service of those who did his
work as ever, whilst his receipts were
cut in two. Inasmuch as wages did
not decline, see no reason why they
should be expected to rise, to cores
pond with the advance in
farm products, which are now
bringing only fair prices. Still,
the laboring man will be benefited
by this advance in prices. The
farmer will discharge his indebted
ness, and make improvements which
will require labor, He will purchase
more OF the products of labor, put.
ting vast amount in circulation,
and this will create demand for
labor in all lines, and men who have
been without employment, or only
partially employed, will work full
time at fair wages.

The announcement of the Confed-
crate reunion at Parksley on the
10th inst, cannot fail to excite an in
terest in the day, in every Eastern
Shoreman who loved the cause for
which its noble heroes fought and

who do not approve the effort for
which the reunion is to be held and
who are not willing in some way to
contribute to the building of mon
ument to them. Everyone of us
surely believes that their deeds OF
valor and honored names ought to be
perpetuated in some way, and the
appeal, therefore, cannot be I'M

Governor o,Ferrall has announced

Governor O'Ferrall has announced
his determination not to support,
under present conditions, the dem
ocratic State ticket recently nom
mated at Roanoke, and gives his
reasons for reaching this decision.
The announcement will cause very
little surprise and no one will be in
fluenced to think better OF him for
the reasons which have caused him
to desert his party. Democrats, for
the most part now are only looking
forward to the time of his retirement
from office, and that is about the
only interest they have in him.

VIRGINIA NEWS.

Mr.. Chas. B. Wood, the pioneer
fruit grower of Rappahannock coun-
ty, was offered last week by Jno. j..
Miller, ESQ.,, SIS, 900 for his apple crop,
which offer he refused. The trees in
his orchard which is the finest in
that section, are loaded down with
the finest fruit, being unusually large
aud perfect.
Many schemes for reducing the ex-
penses of the State are being talked
about. The latest one is to reduce
the county and city superlntendents
of schools. A plan suggested by some
is to have a superintendent for the
schools for aachcongressional district:
MANY to whom this plan has been
suggested believe it to be good
scheme. as it would not only reduce
expenses but would enable the State
10 have the very best material avail
able for Observation-Disclosures Lance.
The committee appointed by the
Populist convention to fill vacancies
on the State ticket, if deemed eXped-
lent, will meet at Lynchburg on the
18th of September to decide what is
best to be done Several prominent
members of the Peoples party who
are not on the committee, will attend
to give counsel and advice. Captain
Cooke, the nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, will be there. From what
can be learned the sentiment
among the Populist leader is very
decidedly in favor of placing a full
ticket in the field, and it is quite safe
TO say that this Will be done. Some
of the Republicans are urging the
Populists to go ahead and complete
their ticket.-Norfolk Virginian.
