BARKER KIGANS,
The County Fair.

l am somewhat of a dreamer, but
withal l never lose sight of the actual
present. like TO look dreamily into
the future, and cast dreamy, retro
spectiye look into the past
And that past reminds me of the
Greels and Roman feasts devoted to
Ceres, when the young Greek and
Roma maidens wove rural garlands
round the heads of their swains, and
jointly with their elders enjoyed the
fruits of their labors of the soil and
that beautiful Jewish festival, the
Pentacost, the Offering of the first
fruits of the earth.
DSomething like this, our annual
Fairs are intended to. and ought to be,
gathering of our rural. friends at The
seat Of the government, where every
one should strive to have a warm well
come for the faithful tillers of the soil,
and make the annual return of that
meeting one eagerly looked for by our
cousins and friends, the dwellers on
natures broad domains.
Thus dreamily inclined, saw exhi-
bited at the Fair grounds all the pro-
ducts of our generous fields, in the
choicest varieties and Floral Hall
odorous with the perfumes of all the
sweet-scented flowers of our county.
Our manufacturers showing to the
fullest extent the result of their skill
full labor in the various productions of
Marietta, while our merchants dis
played their wares in the most attrac-
tive styles.
What l actually saw, / leave to
younger eyes to describe. There were
various attractions on which ! could
dwell, and which were deserving of
particular uotice, such as home pro-
ductions in various exhibitions of
female skill. l also listened to the fine
rendering of Moonlight on the Hud-
son" by Miss Lander noticed the dis
play of pianos by Mr.. Israel, and some
very fine ranges By the Nye Hardware |,
Co.
But speaking candidly, l think our
citizens one and all, ought to, and can |
make our future fairs more attractive |
by each one giving some more time and
assistance to the same. /. =.

Attention ! Sixty-Third,

Thirty-six years have come and gone
since the smoke has lifted from the
battle field of Corinth, where wave af-
ter wave of organized armed treason
rolled in on rampant and ditch of Rob-
met, where they were met, broken and
rolled back in defeat.
Men of the 63d you are part of this
famous passage of arms, in the mem
ory of which we hold our 14th Annual
Reunion at Marshfield, Athens Co., o.,
October 5th and 9Th, 1898, and this
pioneer city of the Hooking Valley ex-
tend a hearty invitation to the Gal
liant Old 63rd, o. v. I. Each surviving
member is hereby ordered and expect
ed to be present with their families.

Eyans--Allen.

The wedding Wednesday evening of
Mr.. Chester c. Evans, of the firm OF
Snodgrass & Evans, to Miss Florence
Allen, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
l.. Allen. Franklin street, was a very
beautiful and interesting affair.
The house had been elaborately dec
Grated with roses and ferns, and in
the parlor where stood the wedding
party there was bank of vines and
ferns which was charmingly arrnged.
AS the minister, Mr.. Spencer Evans,
brother of the groom, read from the
Bible some appropriate passages. the
bridal party, composed of Miss Doro-
thy Pinnell and Miss Catherine Glib
son in advance of the bride on the
arm of her father, and Mr.. George
Strecker and DR.. c. T. Waters preced-
ing the groom, entered and arranged
themselves in the north corner of the
parlor.
The ceremony was impressive. A
portion of the Episcopal church SER
vice was used and it closed with the
Lords prayer in unison and benedic-
ton. After congratulations, the
guests were invited into the supper
room where a fine supper was served.
The bridal table was beautifully dec
Grated with candles, pink roses and
vines, and it was occupied by the brid-
al party and the grooms mother and
brother.
Mrs. Monroe Greenwood, of New
port, was in charge of the supper room,
and Miss Hazel Heston and Master
George Gibson waited upon the guests.
The brides dress was of white taf-
feta silk, with demitrain, and she car
ried brides roses. That she looked
lovely is needless to say.
The bridesmaids wore white organ
die gowns, and carried pink brides
maids roses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Evans will leave today
for Mr.. Evans's home at Shandon, But
Ter county.
The Leader wishes to join in good
wishes, also to return THANKS for a
fine remembrance of cake and other
good things.

furlough. l have good reasons to
think we will be put on hospital ship
to nurse the sick soldiers from Cuba
and Porto Rico to this hospital. This.
is very large hospital and they are
still building it larger. l went down
to the coast last night and caught a
crab, and was in my bare feet, and a
large crab got after me and tried to
pinch me but it wasn't swift enough
to catch me. There are plenty of
trout and oysters here and they are
easily caught. We can go to any of
the following places for five cents on
a street car: Fort Monroe, Fort Com
fort, Newport News, Hampton Roads.
There are lots of soldiers here. Our
officers are all Regular Army men and
have very strict dicipline, but have a
pleasant look for you when they pass
/ tell you it is fun to catch crabs
They pull so hard and won't let loose
of the line at all. The way we catch
them is, take line and make loop
IN it and tie piece of fat meat out on
the end, they get their feet tangled up
in the loop and can't get away. l had
the two caught for dinner and they
were just fine We haven't got our
pay yet and don't expect to get it until
next month. 1t don't make any diff
ference how hot the days are it is al
ways cool here because we are so close
to the sea and get the fresh cool air off
of the water.

A Pertinent Suggestion.

AS comparative stranger in Mari
eta may be pardoned If (while an
ardent admirer Of the quaint but beau
tiful old town. call attention to de-
feet, which surely has been, and will
always continue to be lin its present
condition) an eyesore, not only to my
self, but to the inhabitants Of Mari
eta in general.
! wonder how many Of you can
guess, the object or rather the. spot
to which l have refgerence. ! hear a
chorus Of voices answering correctly
The lee Harbor Lot.
In striking contrast to its neighbor
the City Park, it stands out in bold re-
lief, with all its filth and barrenness
the eyesore OF all eyes.
While the ladies of the Village I'm
provement Society are working SO
zealously and efficiently to beautify
the city, by keeping the streets in ap-
ple-pie order, the City Fathers should
follow in their footsteps by filling in
and otherwise improving the Ice Har-
Dor Lot.
1t may take several years to perfec,
the plan recently agitated of erecting
public buildings on this lot, then again
this scheme may fall through.
In the meantime there is no goot
reason why the City Fathers lin con
junctini; with the Village Improve
ment Society and the merchants or
the square opposite the Ice Harbol
Lott could not with small expendi
ture, transform this huge bugbear, in
to thing of beauty and a Joy forever

Fort Monroe Letter.

Fort Monroe, Va, Sept. 10th, '9S
Dear Father: I suppose you will be
greatly surprised to get letter from
this place. We landed here at O'Clock
this afternoon and was on the train 18
hours. Our hospital division is all di-
vided up into three different squads,
one being at Camp Mead, Va. one here,
and about fifteen at the old camp TAX
ing care OF the sick that couldn't get
we'll in time to go to their homes with
their regiments. We stayed in Wash
ington City long enough to get to see
the best part Of the city. We were in
Newport News at twelve o'clock today.
Camp Alger is very dull place since
all the soldiers have gone away. We
have everything to our advantage
here. We have one large room to
sleep in, large dining room, and toi-
let rooms and bath rooms, and nice
beds to sleep in, and everything at our
hands. We a.so have water, hot or
cold, and electric lights. We are situ-
ated about sixty feet from the coast Of
Chesapeak Bay, and can see the large
ships and ocean steamers. There are
two large forts here built out in the
water, one is Fort Monroe, and the
other Is Fort Point Comfort. And
they are building another fort away
out in the bay. Anybody who had
never seen one Of these forts couldn't
tell it was fort, because the guns are
all hidden. The forts Just look like
a big mound and are covered with
nice green grass. Away out in the
bay we can see fort with two large
rifles that look larger than the Water
Works smoke stack and are on large
carriages that will turn around or go
back into large hole in a cement
wall. We have large board walks with
roofs over them that lead to every
building we have any cause to go to,
so you see no difference how muddy it
is we don't have to get in muddy plac-
es. Well, don't expect to get to
come home until my three years are
out, and maybe not then, unless on

We understand that George Loch-
ary, who was shot Friday night last
near Browns Mills by Milton Murdock
for intimacy with Murdock's wife, is
still at Murdock's house, being nurscd
by the Murdocks. Furthermore Loch-
ary says that in event he should die he
does not want Murdock prosecuted for
shooting him.
Pdblic opinion would likely agree
with the proposition that Murdock
should not suffer because of his good
judgment and aim.
Murdoch did very comnendable
act when he set up the serious physi-
cal disturbance in Lochary's person.
1t can scarcely compensate for the
mental troable which Murdock must
experience by the disagreeable truth
which dawned upon him when he met
the gay Lathario with her who had
promised to be true to elm.

From all indications Teddy 'Roose-
welt is going into the lists for Cover
nor of New York. His popularity and
general strong personality will make
it mighty interesting for all who shall
aspire against him to the office.
Roosevelt's political career has just
begun. Always a strong man, and SO
recognized, his conduct in the Cuban
war makes him a man of tremendous
political strength.

An ericen National Red Cross and read it
at the exec ltive committee meeting. 1t is
dated en- route Santiago de Cuba to Ha-

Your kind and welcome letter of the 10th
of July has never yet found an answer
but these have been rather busy days at
this end of the line. What with the sup
plying of our own troops. the getting of our
hospitals off to the states and the well

not had much time for correspondence
But 1t has been done. and we dare TO be-
lieve well done, because we hear only
words of thanks. We are weighted down
with blessings from those who go and
those who stay.
I'VE have worked in perfect accord with
all officials of the army and navy, Cubans
and Spanards. We have remained here as
long the townSpeople felt that 1t was
we'll for gratuitous aid to be extended and
it has been very fortunate that it is now
just the moment that Havana opens that
we are needed there. The sending by the
President of 1000 tons of food, and asking
to distribute it, Is testimonial of con-
fiGeEce and of graciousness of action which
cannot be too highly appreciated.
Il know you are all glad at home to feel
that your troops are coming back and they
glad, too. There will be work a long
time there for the hospitals throughout
the country and l am SO thankful that
they are in good hands"
