THE FAIR NEARLY HERE.

How about the Fair this year? Up
to this time, only about 30 days be-
fore the meeting, there seems to be
little enthusiasm on the subject. Mr.
Britts, the Secretary, appointed ut 4
late hour to take Mr.. Montaguc's
place, has issued the catalog, and is
working faithfully ut his task Owing
to change in the time of holding the
Fair this year a good corn show will
be impossible, as but little corn will
mature by that time, and if shown
at all will be in Il soft, immature con-
dition. The continued rains have kept
the corn growing, whereas, at this
season it should be beginning to rip
en-, and would be under usual condi-
tions. However, provision is made in
the regulations, that Judges of the
corn show are to take these condi-
tions into consideration, and consider
what the corn would be if maturcd,
and this provision will enable COM
petitors to show immature corn.
DR.. Peircc, the Secretary of the
Agricultural Department, expects a
fine apple show. The county, he says,
has an abundant crop of apples, and
the usual premiums are offered. The
school people will not have an cXhi-
bition this year. This heretofore spec
tacular and pleasing feature of the
Fair will be missed. If the Fair is
to be success this year every one,
from the President down, and every
citizen in the county, must be up and
doing from now on, day and night.
This summer, now about past, will
be known as "thc rainy summer" For
| the past seven weeks only about one
week all together in which there has
not been some rainfall, ard much of
this time Il downpOHr. Saving oats
and hay has been an almost impossi-
bility, and much of it is greatly dam
aged. Weeds and grass are luxuriant,
and garden vegetables in abundance,
except tomatoes.

HONORABLE LEE TRINKLE.

AS announced in the press of the
State, Mr.. E. Lee Trinklc, the well
known lawyer Of Wytheville, was
nominated at Bristol last Saturday
by the Democrats Of the Ninth Dis
trict, to oppose MIR. Slemp, the Re
publican candidate for reelection TO
Congress. The convention which nom
mated Mr.. Trinkle, is reported to have
been one of the largest and NEST en-
thusiastic ever assembled i'm the dis
trict, and his nomination was I'M
animous, there being not one dis
sentng VOTE
Mr.. Trinkle is an ideal candidate
for the position, and there would
seem to be every reason why he
should be elected, and II large numbe.
of wise men predict that he will be-
In the tuart-Slcmp campaign the
district was carried by Mr.. Slelnp.
The election was close, Slemp's ma
jority being only 231 in the entire
district. Conditions now are decidedly
mere favorable to the election of Il
Democratic candidate than ut that
time. Behind Mr.. Trinklc is, first
of all, a united, harmonious party,
which was not wholly true in 1912.
The minor differences existing then,
have wholly disappeared, and the
party of the Ninth speaks as the
voice of one man. And, also, behind
Mr.. Trinkle, and before, is the mar
velous record of President Wilson,
and four years of an administration
which may have been equalled but
never eXcelled by any President or
party ever called into power ny the
American people. No need now, if
ever there was, TO appeal to party
prejudices, or make party pledges.
The record of the party is before the
world, and speaks for itself.
Mr.. Slemp, representative of the
remains of the old party which was
swept out of power four years ago,
and almost out of existence, will haze
but small plea and nothing new with
which to go before the people, and
upon which to base his claims to re-
election. He can, of course, and will,
repeat the puerile criticisms put into
his mouth by candidate Hughes, all
of which are familiar now to the pub
lie. If he (Slemp) can bring forth
anything new, or give any cogent rea-
son why he should be returned to
congress more than his party gave
four years ago, or arouse any enthus-
iasm among his followers, his candi-
dacy will be hailed with delight by
his party. So far Mr.. Hughes candi-
dacy has been a frost. No need for
the Democrats to hang back and say
that Mr.. Slemp cannot be defeated
because forsooth he has defeated cv-
cry man who has opposed him here
fore. After nearly half century of
failures the national administration
was defeated, firmly seated and deep
rooted though it was, and Mr.. Slemp
can and will be defeated Eventually"
Why not this year?

Some of the Republican journals
and writers in this section are trying
TO make the impression that Mr.. Trim
kle wept when he accepted the Dem
ocratic nomination for Congress in
the Bristol convention. Before Mr..
Trinkle gets through with some Of
these "pie-hunters" in the Ninth dis
trict, there will not only be weeping
among them, but wa;ling and gnash-
ing OF teeth, etc.

Mary's Animal Show.

Mary had little lamb
Twas Persian-on her coat;
She also had mink or two
About her dainty throat;
A bird of paradise, tern
And ermine made the hat
That perched at jaunty angle
On her couture, largely "rat."
Her tiny boots were sable-topped,
Her gloves were muskrat, too;
Her mulfs had heads and tails of half
The CRITTERS" in the ZOO;
And when she walked abroad, l ween,
She feared no wintry wind;
At keeping warm, twas plain to see
She had all nature skinned.

Mr.. Bryan is always ready for any
thing that comes up. When Govern
or Hughes attacked the Wilson adj
ministration in his Western speeches,
Mr.. Bryan dealt him solar-pleXus
from Kansas City, by pointing out
many discrepancies and much favor
otism shown the financial interests
while Mr.. Hughes was Governor Of
New York. And Mr.. Bryan did not
make any general charge; he put his
finger right on the time and place.

RECALL MIR. SLEAlP.

If there is Republican spell-bind-
or or defender who has reason to
offer for the continuance of Mr.. Slemp
in Congress, let him come forth and
express himself. What has he done
the past two years worthy of note?
Did not he and his hired orators pa
rade over the Ninth district, and pre-
dict that in case of the election of
Woodrow Wilson, the country would
go to the pow vows? Is it not this
same Slemp who said that Demo-
cratic administration meant $1,000
bull calves? 15c wool? Sc cattle?
ct cetera? Is it not this same Slemp
who said that in Democratic ad-
ministration cob-webs would grow
over the drift-mouths of every coal
mine in this section, and that the
coke ovens would become the homes
of bats? Is it not this same Slemp
who said that devastation and want
and starvation would infest the good
people of this section, and that
Starving babes would be Juggling
ut the breasts of hungry mothers 2"
Is it not this same Slemp who said
that the railroad sidings would be
filled with idle cars, and that rail
road men would be begging for en-
ployment on the farms?
What have we instead, and in spite
of the efforts of Mr.. Slemp to pro-
duce the contrary? Every man knows.
There has never been a period in the
history of this section when the ave
rage workingman was more indepen-
dent. There has never been a period
IN the history of coal mining indus
try when such activity was known,
and in spite of Mr.. Slemp's predic
tons many of his most ardent sup
porters, who prophesied like he, are
reaping the profits from coal mining
the like of which has never been
known. Mr.. Slemp's own coal indus
try has reached enormous propor-
tons, and he is growing wealthy and
affiuent under well-managed Demo
cratic administration. Even in Mr..
Slemp's own home town, the big iron
furnace, which was forced into bank
ruptcy in the Roosevelt panic of 1907,
is showing signs of activity, and be-
fore long smoke will be pouring from
its smoke stacks, and the recollec-

| have been told ny Colonel Trim
ble's comrades in arms, especially by
Colonel May, that he was a gallant
and dashing soldier and a man of
strikingly handsome appearance.
When he was killed the cause of the
Confederacy was waning and only
gloom surrounded us here. Neither
time nor care could then be given to
marking his last resting place, and
but one or two people now remember
his grave. 1t is pathetic that this high
souled, gallant young man should
have lost his life in desperate and
blody struggle, far from his native
place and that his last resting place
should be doomed to oblivion!
Should not we, who are his kins-
men, or live among his kinsmen or
were his companions in arms, see to
it that his memory is not lost to post

Colonel Trimble was Mason, and
was buried with Masonic honors,-the
services being conducted by that ac-
complished craftsman, the late Will
liam Botimore. The Tazewel lodge
has generously donated fifty dollars
toward his removal, reinterment and
the providing of suitable headstonc.
A relative from Washington, d. C.
has also given fifty dollars.
1t is estimated that the reinterment
ana proper stone markings, will cost
between four and five hundred dollars.
John w. st. Clair, who is kinsman
of Colonel Trimble, will receive any
contributions that may be made.

ally myself. Respectfully,

II Isn't Your Town, It's You.
If you want to live in the kind of
town

If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town
1t isn't your town-it's you!
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
Yea can raise town from he dead
And if while you make your person
al stake
Your neighbor can make one, too.
Your town will be what you want to
see;
It isn't your town-it's YOU.
