Novel Features.

The substantial support which
the public accorded to the State
Fair last year is duly appreciated
by the management, and in an
nouncing the dates of this years
Fair October 7th, 9Th, 9th, 10th,
18th, 12th) it is stated that many
important improvements have
been made on the grounds and
buildings, ten thousand dollars
having been expended in grad
ing, walks, driveways, seats,
buildings, entrances and exits,
so that the comfort and pleasure
of all is assured.
Some of the best midway at
fractions and free shows in the
country have been engaged. The
races, over a fine mile track, will
be we'll worth going to see, and
the agricultural and live stock
exhibits will be larger and better
than ever before seen at a State
Fair in Virginia.
1t is proposed to set apart one
day, possibly the last day, for a
special sales day, at which time
an expert auctioneer, who will be
engaged by the management,
will make sales for exhibitors.
This feature has proven very at
tractive at many points in this
country and abroad, and exhibit
ors as we'll as we'll as those who
desire to buy will find opportun-
tiles for most profitable transac-
tions.

". ". Ellington Found Dead.

Early Monday morning w. w.
Ellington, who had a room on
Church street. was found dead
in his bed. There were no in
dications that any thing foul was
committed, but the surroundings
pointed to the fact that heart
failure was the cause of his
death.
The negro that cleans up his
room was the first to discover
that, he was dead. and at once
notified the police. who, when
they had gone to the room and
found the body, summoned the
coroner, who, after he viewed
the remains, and found nothing
to show that there had been any
foul play. ordered the body re-
moved.
Mr.. Ellington was about 81
years of age and was We'll known
to many people. The remains
were carried to the home of W.
J. Neeley, on Broadway, from
which place the funeral will take
place this afternoon, after which
the remains will be inferred in

The evidence tended to show
that both Barbee and Yearly
were guilty Of assault, and the
warrant was changed so as to
include both in the charge.
Barbee, white and Yearly, col.
ored, had some words and when
the latter showed his gun the
former used beer bottles, and
Barbee then fired full in Yearby's
face, filling it with bird shot.
Both were bound over to court
