Last week, VIM. Champion, a boy of some
II or l4years-old, who lives with Mr.. Foaly
on one of the farms of Mr.. II. o. Allen in
this edge of Clarke was sent by his employer
to take a drill to the shop for repair, when
on the pike the yoke became detached from
the tongue and the youth got down to fix it.
The horses became frightened, knocked the
boy down and passed over him. The sudden
jerk displaced the lever and the drill boots
were let down as ifdrilling. The poor fellow
was caught in this trap and dragged some
considerable distance upon the hard pike,
being rolled over and over like n log de-
scending a steep hill, and perfectly helpless
to extricate himself. Finally the wheel
broke down and the horses stopped. At
last reports the unfortunate youth was in n
critical condition.-Advocate.

THE AeR1cuLruRAL FAIR.
ON the WINCHESTER Times. Sept. list

From the Winchester Times, Sept. LIST.
We note with pleasure the steadi-
ly growing interest in the Fair,
which will begin September 14th,
and continue four days. The secre-
tary's office, as we note from our
sanctum window, seems to be a
centre of attraction, being throDged
daily by all the classes of people
who contribute to the success OF
such an exhibition. In view of the
numerous attractions TO be present
ed there is really 70 reason why the
coming exhibition should not equal
in attendance and otherwise, the
phenomenal Fair of '94. Firemen
tell US that there will be very lively
contest for the liberal premiums
offered them for hose race, and
that there will probably be at least
eight entries.
Those who like good trotting or
running race are likely to be fully
gratified, as the purses are satisfac-
tory to horsemen, and the enquiries
at the office indicate that the races
will be we'll filled. The tournament
is another feature of much interest,
especially to the young people, as
we'll as others who like to see an eN
hibition of good horsemanship.-
There will be twenty or more entries
i in this contest, and there will be
numerous minor attractions, which
will serve to fill up the gaps,if there
be any, in the daily program.
The Washington Light Infantry,
the crack military organization OF
the Capital City, will be present &C
companied by q fine band of music.
On Friday, the last day, Mr.. c. B.
Rouss will be preseut,and the throng
will be swelled by the attendance OF
the North Carolina Confederate Vet
Grams. who will be here on that day
to lay a corner stone for monument
to their dead.
All the various departments of the
exhibition promise to be unusually
well filled. This Fair has for sever.
al years led all it's competitors here.
abouts as q horse show, and there
will be no falling off this time, and
in the other departments of live
stock there will be few empty stalls
or pens.
The buildings and grounds are
all being renovated and made more
comfortable, as well as pleasant To
the eye. In fact the management is
leaving nothing undUne which will
increase the comfort and convent
ence of its patrons.
