DELINQUENT LAND TAXES.
Mr.. l.. Register, Clerk of the Corpora

more of Norfolk's delinquent property. An
agent of an out-of-town incorporated
company has been examining the records
in the Clerks office in the last few days,
presumably with that end in view. Delin-
quent taxpayers will probably combine
against these men, who operate under the

property sold for the amount of taxes

All the indications point to an ex-
ceptionally large and interesting State
Fair this fall, both in the matter of
attendance and in the extent of the ex-
hibits.
From every portion of the country
tributary to the Fair there has been
an unprecedented number of enquiries,
very large demand for printed mat
ter, and requests for space in all the
departments which promises to very
soon take everything in the way of ac-
commodations which the heads of de-
partments have to offer. Already many
space contracts have been closed, both
for privilege men, as well as regular
exhibitors in all the lines in which ex-
hibits are sought, and as week succeeds
week the demand become greater.
The officials, under the experienced
and carful instruction of Secretary
George Hook, are working hard, and
much of the preliminary work has al
ready been completed. All the printed
matter, which is unusually extensive
and attractive this year, has been got
ten out, with the single exception of
the press notices, which will be ready
during the coming week. Some of the
printed matter is very attractive, par
ticularly in the matter of posters and
hangers. Mr.. B. H. Swartz has charge
of this work, and many thousands of
pieces of pieces of mail matter have
been prepared, and much of it has al
ready gone to its destination.
On the grounds Secretary Hook has
pushed the work of repairing the losses
occasioned by the last flood with the
greatest energy, and the result is a
large number of new buildings in the
way of stables, stalls and pens, which
will afford better accommodations than
ever before. The stable arrangements
will be found entirely different this
year from previous fairs, and every
thing being new, will give better &C
commodations and satisfaction. The
grounds generally have been put in fine
order, and the track is in splendid con-
dition, as will be demonstrated at the
coming race meeting.
Special attractions of high order
have just been arranged for, and details
will be made public in short time.
One feature at least will be a decided
novelty in this portion of the coun-
