PRAIRIE
The Country Fair.

The same old pumpkins smile at us.
That smiled a year ago:
The same old fakir cries the way
Into the same old show,
We stop and wash the same old aust
That no kind rain has laid
From out the same old throat. and
The same old lemonade.
We stop before the same old booth.
We buy the same balloon:
The same old merry-go-round starts,
And plays the same old ;une.
The same old %racehorse plies the tract,
The same old dust clouds rise.
The same old starter rings the hell
And shouts the same old cries.
The same old inspiration comes
To play the same old sells,
The same old thimblerigger stands
Behind the same old shells.
The same old dollar Hills come out,
The same old game to play,
The same old farmers out his cash
In just the same old way.
The same old sun beats on my head,
Beats with the same old heat.
The same old tramping gives me corns
Upon my same old feet.
The same old lunch stand stares at me
The same old sandwich lies,
The same old custard pie is there.
Spread with the same old flies.
The same old grease is thickly laid
Upon the same old pole.
The same old coon thrusts forth his
head,
From out the same old hole.
The same old baseball flies at him,
The same old sucker gets
From out the same old cigar box
The same old stinkarettes.
The same old fat stocks on parade,
Upon the same old track,
The same old poultry cackles forth
To me the same old cack.
The same old country lad is there,
Right by the same old band
And grips him tight the same old girl,
Tight by the same old hand.
Yet every year the fever comes,
Comes in the same old way.
We reap the same old crops of grain,
We stack the same old hay.
We get the same old good suit on,
We slick the same old hair.
We're Off-the same old girl with me.
Off to the same old fair.

Virginia Tobacco at the Worlds Fair
i'm II. Louis.

That Virginia is going TO have a
creditable tobacco exhibit at the st.
Louis Exposition there is no doubt, be-
cause the tobacco people are becoming
thoroughly interested in the enterprise
and are determined to make it a success
They are wide-awake people and fully
realize the benefits which will be de.
rived from the advertisement which
will be given them, aud when they de-
termine TO accomplish specified
result, the obstacle which they cannot
surmount has yet toappear before them.
They will not depend solely upon the
state appropriation to cover the expen-
ses Of the exhibit, but nearly every
market in the state has taken upon IL
self the task Of getting up special
market exhibit and defraying the extra
expense Of installation, thus giving
each an opportunity to make a. elabo-
rate exhibit a. the amount Of money
they choose to spend on it will justify.
We think this the most satisfactory
plan that could have been adopted as
| it Localities the advertisement and ere
ates a spirit Of friendly rivalry, thereby
causing each market to put forth every
effort to make the handsomest display
possible.
When these market exhibits are
grouped in one grand general state ex.
hibit. which will be made up Of Nir-
ginia tobacco in every form from the
seed to the finished product; arranged
in the most artistic manner possible
and surrounded by all kinds Of ma
chinery ami tools used in handling and
working tobacco, we think it will make
a showing which all Virginians will be
proud to recognize as coming from their
beloved old State. A more explicit and
detailed outline Of the plans for the ex-
hibit will appearin the columns Of this
paper in a short time.
