A Man and q Farm.
We notice in The National Stockman
and Farmer an answer to the question
whether in these times man can make
q living on the farm. A correspondent
Of The Stockman visited tho home Of an:
Ohio man living eight and one'halt:
miles from Newark. This town was biz:
market, where he sold his PRODUCTS;
His farm was only patch Of ground:
seven ard one-half acres all told, most:
ly rough hillside land vt that, yet from;
1t the farmer made Al excellent living:
for himself, his wife and two children;
He studied the lay Of his land and de-;
oidrd from the general easterly and
northeasterly slope Of it that 1t waa|
we'll adapted to fruit culture. Into this;
he accordingly went shrewdly and care:
fully. Grapes, Strawberries, raspberries:
and gooseberries are his main money
crops, with peaches and other fruits
coming on. He built in the intervals Of
work neat cottage. When the CORE.
spondent saw it. tho flower season was
on, and tho small house was set In o.
bower of beauty, with rich purple clus
ters of wistaria trailing from o vine
over the porch.
Apart from the improvements this
thrifty and industrious man has put;
upon his rough little place it would not;
be worth go an acre, we are told, yet;
from 1t a whole family live, and live;
we'll. The secret of it all is to be found;
in the character Of the man himself.

Grand Balloon AscenSions.

There will be on each day Of the
coming Eastern Shore Agriculture
Fair a grand balloon ascension and
parachute drop. The ascensions will
take place from the large open field
area in full view of all visitors, and
no additional cost will be necessary
to witness them. The drops, two OF
which are expected to be made by a
lady, will take place from height OF
$4,000 feet.
In order not to disappoint those
who come to the fair to witness this
spectacle, a forfeit has been put up
by the balloonists, guara nteeing the
ascensions.
The balloons go up. Come and
see them.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1898.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G.. H., Va, as second.class matter.

The Eastern Shore Agricultural
Fair opens next Tuesday, and with
the prospect. as the secretary advises
s,of being the most successful in the
history of the organization. That he
is correct in his opinion authentic
information received from many
sources induces us to believe. That
such will be the result, we have the
right to expect. The people who for
twenty years have supported it with
their exhibits, by their attendance
and with their influence are still be-
hind it with an unabated interest in
its welfare. 1t is the peoples fair and
il cannot fail of success. 1t originated
with them, it has been perpetuated
by their labors and it will continue
to be worthy of their support and re-
ceive it, If there was nothing else to
commend it to them, the fact, that
for score of years it has been the
place for the reunion of friends not
only from every part of the Eastern
Shore but from abroad, would make
them stand by it and help it on to
success. The secretary advises us
that they are doing it and that the
display of exhibits will be larger and
better than they have ever been in
its history, and the managers of the
fair authorize us to say, that the fair
promises not only to be good one
because of the variety and excellence
of it's exhibits but that everything
has been so we'll ordered by them and
will be so we'll scrutinized by them,
that nothing that can offend good
taste, or that will be Objectionable
to them, will be permitted. 1t is your
fair, you are expected, you will be
welcome and we believe it will be a
success in every respect, equal if not
superior to that of any previous year.

MILITARY COMMISSIONERS

Who VIII Restore Order In Cuba and
Porto Rico.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Today's Post
says: The announcement Of the per-
sonnet Of the military commissions for
Cuba and Porto Rico may now be ex-
pected at any time. The president has
practically determined upon the mill
tary and naval officers who will COM
pose tho commission. 1t is probable
that the names wall be as follows:
Cuban Commission.-Major General
J. T. Wade, Major General NJ. c..
Butler and Admiral w. T. Sampson.
Porto Rico Commission.-Major Gen.
eral John r. Brooke, Major General
Theodore Schawn and Admiral Win
field S. Schley.
1t will be noticed that the name Of
General Fitzhugh Lee does not appear
In the list of the Cuban commissioners.
The omission is not unintentional. Cen
eral Lee was originally slated for a
place on the commission, but will not
serve, owing to his desire to remain at
the head of his Army corps. 1t is ex
pected that this corps, the Seventh,
will eventually be sent to Cuba, and
in that event General Lee will so to the
island at it's head, preferring this po-
sition to commissionershlp.

Peace has come at last and il

Peace has come at last and is
hailed with joy by the great bulk OF
the American people. The war may
have been glorious one in many
respects but it had it's horrors-suffi-
Gent to make everyone happy that
it is over. The record made by us has
been the wonder of the world and we
have the right to be proud of it, but
there was too much disease and death
attending it to desire its continuance
or to hope for another war soon. 1t
is possible that means peace with all
other nations in the future, as we are
now such recognized power among
the nations of the earth, that every
reasonable demand would be acceded
to which we might make upon them.

Mall Censorship Discontinued.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The mail SER
vice between the United States and
Spain will be resumed promptly, so
far as this country Is concerned. The
two countries being practically at
peace, the officials here see no reason
why mail passing between them should
be opened and censored. as during the
war, and hereafter these restrictions
will be removed. Although no word to
that effect has come from Spain, the
presumption is a similar course will be
adopted by that government. Very
soon steps will be taken by the post
office department looking to the re-
sumption of regular mail communica-
ton between the United States and
Cuba and Porto Rico.

Eastern Shore Agricultural Fair.
Every Department will be full Of Ex-
cellent Exhibits and the Best Fair
Expected in the History Of the
ORGANIZATION.

The twenty first annual tair of the
Eastern Shore Agricultural Associa-
ton is at hand. Final arrangements
and improvements have been com
pleted to make this, it's entry upon a
new score of years, the best exhibit
in it's history.
The grounds and buildings have
been thoroughly cleaned and repair.
ed, and the appearance of things add
ed to by good coat of white-wash.
Stalk and stock pens have been we'll
bedded, and the usual commodious
wire coops will be at the service OF
exhibitors in the poultry department.
AS heretofore, exhibits in this depart
ment are well fed and cared for at
the hands of the association. The
grounds will be thoroughly and care
fully policed, not only by fair but by
county officers, and visitors are as
sured that they will receive every
protection that the law can afford.
The question has been asked if the
races will be full. In the light of
present entries and those that have
indicated their intention to enter, l
feel safe in saying to the public that
the different classes will surpass any
former year. With scarcely an eX-
ception, every horse of any reputa-
ton on the Eastern Shore, south of
Pocomoke river, will start in one or
more races, with the result that those
among which exists the greatest
rivalry for honors will meet in the
same race. As soon as all entries in
the speed department are in-which
they must be, to be received, by
Monday night, 10 o'clock preceding
fair-the lists in different classes will
be announced.
But this feature does not stand
alone in the attractions promised or
interest manifested. Every mail
brings long lists of entries all the way
from Pocomoke to Cape Charles. The
ladies of the Peninsula especially are
prompt in their entries. In order to
better display the handsome and use
full exhibits in this division we are
endeavoring by excluding other mat
tiers from their hall, to give them
more space. Gentlemen ofexperience
will courteously receive and arrange
to the best effect all articles offered
for exhibition.
The attention of the public is called
to other items of fair matter in the
several papers of the two counties
with the hope and belief that they
will encourage by their presence this
effort in behalf of the agricultural,
mechanical and domestic interests of
Of the Eastern Shore.
The admission to the grounds will
be, as in all former years, % cents.
Children from 10 to IA years and
colored people Is cents. Carriage and
horse % cents. Grandstand and
quarterstretch, 25 cents each.
