Tremendous Preparations for
The Great narTis0nburg Fair
Under New Management.

Perhaps never in the history o.
Fairs Ia Virginia has there been more
tirle and money spent. and devoted to
minutest detail in preparing for ar
exhibition of farm products and
foreign amusements a. there has been
in the past six weeks; by the Officers
and Directors of the Great Harrison
burg Fair.
Ea-ly last Spring the prominent
men Of Rockingham County had a
meeting and decided that Rockingham
County, blessed as it is with the best
farms and people on ca nth were 60
ing to get to- pether and have real
Fair. With this class of men de-
cision means action; they Immediate
ly purchased from the old Rocking
ham County Fair their interest and
leased the grounds, securing an OPP
ton on same
All Summer there has been q num-
her of carpenters an d laborers work
ing on the grounds while most of the
Improvements have been CT temporary
nature but owing to tbs bad condition
of the buildings and grounds in
general, there has been immense
amount of money and labor spent
that hardly will be noticeable.
G. B. Ralston, who was the origi
nator and who has had exclusive
management of the Stannton Fair, is
also Secretary of Virginia's Fair
Circuit excluding fourteen of the
largest Fairs in the State, was secur-
ed early In the Summer to take the
management of the Great Harrison
burg Fair.
Mr.. Ralston states he has secured
the highest class of attractions all OF
them from the largest threatres of the
Cities and never before seen at q
County Fair.
The Midway Amusements and
Shows will be under the management
of Joseph Herbert. Mr.. Herbert's
latest report asked for 220 feet front
to place his Show alone. 1t is very
gratifying indeed to know that the
Valley Of Virginia will have an up
to date Fair. From all indications
the attendance will be larger than
any other Fair ever held in the VAL
ley of Virginia.

MUTE KILLED By
SOUTHERN TRAIN
Face Crushed And Every Bone
of Body Broken.
STRUCK BY PILOT OF ENGINE

WILLIAM CUTCHINs RUN DOWN AM
INSTANTLY KILLED BY NoRTE
BOUND TRAIN NO. % NEAR MT
| JACKSON.
William Cutchins, deaf mute o
Mount jackson, was run down ani
INSTANTLY killed Saturday eyenins
shortly before O'Clock, by north
bound Southern tran No. %, just q
short distance south of Mount Jack
son.
Cutchins was walking down the
track towards Mount Jackson and
being q mute was unaware of the APP
preaching train and his own danger
until he was struck, although En-.
gineer Good, who was at the throttle.
blew for him to get off the track and
finding that the man made no move
to step aside applied the brakes
severely.
The train was running at COM
paratively low rate of speed having
just struck torpedo signal to slow
down in order..to pass the south bound
freight train which was standing on
the siding waiting for the passenger
train to pass. Engineer Good. who
is one OF the most careful and highly
thought OF engineers in the employ OF
the Southeran Railway. stated that it
often happened that he passed per-
sons walking along the tracks and
that they in the majority of cases
waited until the train was close on
them before they stepped from the
tracks. Not knowing that Cutchins
was a mute he expected to see the man
step from the tracks any minute. AS
soon as hr found that the man was
not going to leave the tracks in re-
spouse to the blasts Of the engines
whistle Cook applied the brakes and
made every effort to stop his train
before hitting him. This he was I'M.
able to do, however.
Cutchins was struck by the pilot
and hurled high into the air, landing
in the ditch beside the tracks. His
face was badly crushed and practical.
ly every bone of his body broken.
Death was instantaneous, the man
never knowing what struck him.
The accident was great nervous
shock to Mr.. Good. although he and
every one who saw the accident real
lied that everything possible for the
engineer to do to prevent the accident
was done. The passengers on the
trim all looked to see what was the
cause of the passenger ergine's
whistle being blown SO much. When
they saw the man on the tracks and
REALIZED that IL was impossible to
avoid striking him many of the spec.
tators turned their heads so as not to
see the man killed.
AS soon as the train could be
brought to standstill it was backed
up to where the body OF CutcAins was
lying and when it was found that he
was dead, his body was removed to
his home, which was only a short dis
tance away.
Cutchips was a man about forty
five years old and leaves a widow and
four children.
