changed that secretary Cortelyou has
announced that owing to the great
Improvement in the financial condi-

begun the gradual withdrawal of the

with new 20. 600 gallon tank, and will
be opened for guests July LIST under the

old resort has mineral water posses
sing rare qualities. which for many
years has attracted the public from
many States.
The Victoria furnace here closed
down on Monday for an indefinite Pc
riod. This industry is the very pulse
of the town, giving employment to
large force of men. whose monthly
earnings sustain in large measure the
various stores in the village. 1t is to be
hoped the conditions will soon improve,
so as TO justify the management to
operate this enterprise again.
There are a number of camping par
ties in the mountains near here, whose
plans for fishing and squirrel hunting
have been greatly interfered with by |

to the Denver convention to vote
for Bryan as long as his name is
before the convention. This de-
cision was reached after strong
opposition to instructions by Sena-
tor Daniel, who made a brilliant
speech, but whose influence upon
the convention was not sufficient
to overcome the trend towards Mr..
Bryan. The vote on instructing
stock sos for and 1873 against.
The convention was called to
order Thursday shortly after noon
by Richard E. Byrd of Winches-
ter, speaker of the Virginia House
of Delegates, who had been select
ed temporary chairman by the
State Central Committee. Con-
gresham E. W. Saunders of the
Fifth district, was made perma-
nent chairman. Chairman Byrd's
address was an able effort.
The convention at times was
stormy and marked by intense ex-
element. Governor Claude A.

STEELE's TAVERN, June 15.-The
Woman's Missionary Union OF Licking
ton Presbytery met at Mt. Can mel
church last Wednesday. The Rev.
A. H. Hamilton, pastor of the church,
welcomed the delegates most cordial
ly. He emphasized as one OF the OBJ
jects of the union: To teach Christians
the necessity of obeying the command,
go ye into all the world and preach
he gospel"
Mrs. A. M. Howison of Stanton,
presided over the meeting, in the alb

gested the name of Mary Baldwin as
the most suitable name for the school.

REVIVAL OF COUNTY FAIR
SUGGESTED

The changing hands of the old
Fair Grounds at Lexington sug-
gests the need of reviving the old
County Agricultural Fair. In
many counties these annual gath
erings have been abolished, and
Rockbridge some years ago fell
into line aud discontinued her old
fair likewise. Whether or not the
institution was a success as finan.
cial venture, is question. We
are informed that the stockholders
did not receive large returns on
their money. From the standpoint
OF the business men Of Lexington
the old fair was a success. Hun
dreds of people were attracted
here for several days during the
fair and they spent consldera BILE
money at the stores and in other
ways. When the fair was dis
continued much of this was like
wise discontinued,
Another advantage of the old
fair was the gathering together in
social way of the farmers and |
their families from the various
sections of Rockbridge. The ex-
hlbits of farm products and stock
might DOT have been quite up to
the standard, but they were all
home productions and as such they
possessed an interest that no other
products can possess, The pas
tries. and fruits, and preserves,
and fancy work, and other pro-
auctions of thrifty housewives and
enterprising daughters, have never
yet been surpassed.
Why not organize another as
sociationp The main feature OF
the modern fair is the horse show.
This could be made prominent in
the fair we are discussing, but not
carried to the extreme that many
horse shows do. The combined
features of the agricultural fair
and horse show would prove at
tractive to the farmers, horse ,
growers and cattle men of Rock 9
bridge.
We are confident the old Fair
Grounds property could be secured :
from the present owner, Mr.. r. S. G
Bruce, on most liberal terms. We f
are equally satisfied that the bust. c
ness men of Lexington will favor
the enterprise. To test the mat
ter, we invite a discussion of the t
proposition through the columns t
Of The GAZETTE. t
