COUNTY FAIR.

Shenandoah county should have q
fair for the exhibition of her pro.
ducts and the announcement of corn
clubs, il we'd methods of farming,
&c. SheL .ndoah is now growing as
foe apples as apy other section OF The
country, but the public does not know
it. Her horses br ng good prices,
but they would bring better if they
were we'll advertised. Our STOCK OF
cattle is improving but it is not as
good as it should te. BY holding
annual fairs, or horse shows, the
raising of improved stock would be
greatly improved. The costly part of
county fairs has been the use of en-
te tainmen:s. While these entertain
ments in the shape of horse racing
&c. draw many and add greatly to the
receipts, they are not absolutely neces-
sary. and do not profit the agricul-
tural interests of the county as much
as the other features of the exhibition.
Other counties are moving in this
direction and Shenandoah should not
be in the rear; for she can make as
c-editable an exhibition as any OF
them. The people, we believe, are
ready for it and all that is lacking is
an energetic leader. While other
counties are advocating home com
ing week, Shenandoah has only to get
up good fair and our wandering
people will flock to their old home in
droves.
We have suitable grounds and
could have suitable buildings in readi-
ness for one of the best exhibitions ever
held in the county, this year. The
display of fruits alone would be worth
coming many miles to see. Our horses
would attract many, and the people
would be surprised to learn that
Shenandoah poultry has been taking |
first prizes not only in other counties,
but i n other states.

Court Day.

A good crowd was in Woodstock,
last M onday. Business generally was
very good. The horse market was
very active. A large number OF buy
ers were on hand and many horses
changed hands. Candidates for office
were present and extended the cordial
hand shake to many voters. The
term of court will be short, as there
are few, if any criminal cases.

Surely it is question of principle; the sys-
tenn IS either wrong, or it is right; those
Southern Senators who denounce the system
as wrong, as class legislation, as robbery. are
utterly inconsistent and ridiculous when thew
demand that the South shall have share in
the loot. a Tariff robber is not more accept
able because he happens to be a man of South
ern birth. \ favored industry which pill
lagos all others IS not the more conducive to
the prosperity and happiness of the country
by reason OF its being domcied in Alabama,
Georgia or Florida. A law which takes prop
erty from the many, to enrich the few, is not
the more beneficial because the few happen to
be residents of North Carolina
Whatever is ri ght in the way of Legislation
IS independ lent of locality. Whatever is wrong
IN the way of lawmaking, cannot be converted

curse of our country right now is, that the

town or city, the true and permanent interests
OF nlnety-two million people are constantly
