/ After attending the street fair at
Grafton, where We were highly amused
and edited. the question arises ON she
dark brown morning after whether or
not these exhibitions are Of any real
benefit to a town or to the local organi.
zaticns who conduct them. We all know
the sequel. OF the Chicago and Buffalo
fairs, streets filed. to speak charitably,
with unemployed, all business in a state
of chaos, and what money expended by
sight-seers nesting below the belt Of
the festive fat lady or snake eater. The
only attraction that really appeals to as
is the Ferris wheel. There, indeed Is
the poetry Of motion truly realized. We
know Of newspaper man who occupied
4 seat IN one with subscriber who owed
him thirteen years subscription. The de-
linqnent one became 80 intoxicated with
the joys Of whirling throng space that
he settled in full before the pair had
rsyolvcd half honr. II we must have
street fairs, let's have more Ferris
wheels, and may they never stop.

REGULARS
MAY. PARTICIPATE IN THE WEST
VIRGINIA ENCAMpMENT AT
HuNrINGroN.
Opinion That Approaching Encampment
VIII Be the Largest and Best Ever
Held In West Virginia.

As was announced some days ago, the
state encampment of the National Guard
of West Virginia win be held in Hunt
ington, beginning August 4 and lasting
ten days.
Adjutant General Baker and Governor
White have just had conference about
the encampment.
The entire National Guard of the state
will participate in the encampment, and
besides, there win probably be bat
staliep Of regulars detailed from Fort
Thomas to participate in the encamp-
ment and give thee citizens and soldiers Of
West Virginia few pointers ON how
ashe Is did, in Uncle Sans magnificent,
army.
Adjutant General Baker states that
his Office is in correspondence with the
war department with the object IN vieN;
of having several officers of the. regular
army detailed to attend the encampn,ent
as instructors, and also with the purpose
in view OF having battalion Of regulars,
sent to Huntington to take part IN the
encampment.
General Baker says that he has every
reason to believe that the request win be
complied with by the war: department,
and expressed It as his opinion that q
battalion OF soldiers would probably be
detained from Fort Thomas. He says
they would probably march from the
Fort through to Huntington, although
they might be sent by either rail or
river.
General Baker is of the opinion that
the forthcoming encampment win be the
largest and most important and interest
ing ever held by the militia Of this
state. Preparations to make It pro-
nounced success are now being made by
the adjutant general and his subordinate
officers.
