partment, calling for expenditure OF
about $75 (seventy-five) TO be located
i'm another and decent part of the
grounds, quite as much in fact for
benefit of the fair patrons rs for the
exhibitors. More people-both men
and women-saw our cattle at Rich-
mond in one day, as they would at
any other show properly managed,
than would at Tazewell in a hundred
years, rs they are slowed away now.
Pardon the personal reference, for /
must say that if we could have our
way there would be nothing done or
said in that section which the best of
women should not see or hear. By
courtesy of the News" we take this
opportunity TO call upon the officials
OF your local show 10 provide decent
location and housing for those who
take sufficient pride in themselves
and their business TO make creditable
display, without even hope of ad-
equate compensation, in these indus
tries which have in large measure
made possible the comfort and cul-
ture OF Tazewell stock. Their Execu-
tive Committee informs us that since,
so and so will not show against the
Burke's Garden Cattle Company,
which we construe TO be an admis-
sion of the superiority of our stock,
we can come and take what horse
stalls and horse kicks that happens
10 be coming our way, together with
cash upon classes we enter. / happen
10 have known in times past fellows,
Il won't say men, for Its just such
lack of manhood which makes the
fellow, who would hang around to
see whatentries were made there even
in things TO fill the vacant places.
Thank the Lord, this is not ourstripe.
If there are To be no cattle or sheep
no accommodations, no interest, in
fact no show, for all these are neces-
sary 10 make show, we will not
have cloyen hoof inside the
grounds. We greatly overrate your
moral standards in regard to decency
and order, and that just tribute of
praise and obligation which every
right-minded people renders to those
institutions, however homely they
may be, if salvation from poverty of
soil and inhabitants has come by
their route.
Hence we call upon the good peo-
pie, town and county alike, Blue
field, Graham, Pocahontas, Lebanon,
Richlands, wherever in fact fair goers
come from to express your sentiments
to some fair official that those vile
concessions which heretofore have
disgraced the infield be relegated TO
the rear, their places being taken by
representatives from flock and field
by whose increase the land has bios
} somed, rose like, and prosperity come
"a more honest if less showy route
than the gaming track and table.

r faith for an answer, we are going
: still further with this statement.
Being the only exhibitor you had last
year with display good enough, and
| which did afterwards go through the
1 State fair with sweepstakes honors
and having the stuff ready now
wherewith to make a still better
show, we respectfully present oul
D right to have some heed paid to re-
, asonable demands upon the Associa
: tion (for things already provided b,
e. similar concerns elsewhere) upon ou
I account. We do not only have tn,
d goods to deliver, but we go still-fur
4 ther and propose to give that persona
t skill and care unto their deliver,
' which is still harder to give an,
d always reflects distinct credit upol
: the fair as much as the exhibitor.
