Semi-Weekly Interior Journal VOL. XVI. STANFORD, KY., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. d888. NO. 59 THE LAUREL FAIR. Our Business Manager Attends, and Is Selected as Judgo In the Ladles' Riding Ring. T!iu Fourth Annual Kxhlhltlou of the Laurel County Fair, which ended Friday hint, after three dayo, was the eeli)sin mm hy far of the erieH. Thu grounds wero In pood alinpo nnd the largo amphitheatre, which had been ereeted hIiico last year, nttbrded the or '',000 people a oikI oortunlty to nee a display of A No. 1 horae stock. There wan not n ring without coni)etltlon, iw in orrnrtiotuilly Horn nt oven the fairo, and in Home there were nH many a l'J cutriert. The stock exhibited wan of the very bit vn rlety, fat and tine with now and then an extra thoroughbred. Then1 v;ere race every day and on Friday, the day the writer was prcHent, there were three. Two running races and a mule race. Hob Jacksou'H thoroughbred racer won the free for all and Mr. J. T. Adams' Jl-year- old won the It-year-old race; threoenlries in each ring, the best '- In .'1 winning. The races were both interesting and the free for all very exciting, It being neck and neck between the winner and the hore. The purses and premiums were liberal, the association giving about $1,.VX) in piemiums. KuvU lent order was kept and everything worked like clock-work. The I'ntloii Cornet Hand, under the leadership of l'rof. Cliiesiuuii, furnished the music, which was one of the decided features of the Fair. The mcnders, with the exception j of the professor, range in age between 1 1 nnd -1, but are all .ood and make music second to no country band in my knowledge. Mr. (ieorgcT. Farris was one of the HUccessfuls. He took the blue in nearly every ring lie entered. He is a general favorite with the ladies ami their sweet I voices wete frequently heard saying 'tie i it on Mr. Farris!" Instead of the red tie, or certificate, a red bandana whs iwd, which Is convincing that l.turel is for the Xohle Old They wete furnished by the clever Ilrm of Arnold k Funis, of Hast The business manager was tendered a judgshlp in the "graceful lady rider ring" but declined, fearing that his knowledge of graceful equestriennes wasinsutlicieiit to render a just decision, when there were so many pretty contestants. There were six fair starters and a number of judges had to be culled in to make a de-1 cision, so hard was it to decide which was i the most graceful. Miss I.ovelnce Una!- j ly won the blue, with Miss s'ctiles coin- ing in a good second.

Dkak I.vtkrior: Tliu Danville meet-In is "come and pone" and I hardly know what to write about It, beyond what has already appeared in the Advocate, which pave us friendly noticen,and, on thu whole, earned our gratitude for the Hplrit In which it criticised our services. The court-house was fairly tilled the whole time, and, at times, crowded. At the cIokIiik meeting, Sunday night, many went away, failing to gut wiitM. I was hnprewed with this general fact, tlio.w we ux pit-to I to see did not put in an appearance; but u house full of strange faces greeted us night after night. We "re related, nearly or distantly, with half the county, and the abence of those wo hive so dearly, of course, touched us with a very keen disappointment. Wo could only sorrow for them, knowing how cruelly they had mistaken the character of our teachings. Had they given us hearing, we feel sure most of them would have been won over. As it was, we left, as we found them, "netted on thu lees" of their various isms, to await the blast of the trump that shall at last wake all. They doubtless think thevareright. So do we. Thus it goes, till the "day "hall declare nil things." I am impressed with another thing, which came out particularly in the Dan ville meeting; Pimply because Danville is thoheadiuartcis of orthodoxy and 'the fact would be moie glaringly apparent Iliere t lain elsculu're. .lust the same classes oppose us who opponed the dear Savior; Whose "gopel" we think we arc proclaiming. "The chief priests, scribes and elders of t lit people" were "gathered together" to resist us, being "grieved that we taught thu people" that "(!od is I.OVK and Nothing Klse. l'he publi cans and sinners drew near." That is the way they did 1SO0 years ago. I ought not to complain of that. I do not. "The servant is not above his Master; nor the disciple above his I.OKD." The old cry: "He is mad and hath a devil; why hear ye Him?" I am also used to, as m v Master was. "Have unv of the Pharisees, or rulers of the people believ ed?" is also frequently put triumphantly to me. So it was asked the Greatest of all in olden time. On the whole, seeing t hat evenenemie.s can bring no accusation of "evil doing" against the Troup-, and that all bium is against the doctrine, I take much comfort from the thought that exactly the same opposition of Satan, through the eitmt tUUi crtmt of religiousness in "" V ; "'"V ' . l ' . ' often and often. I am onlv returning the compliment, ami now that the issue Is fairly made, and each Is saying In iuo que ( A nglice "you're another"), it is tight to lut the Bible settle who is right. And I ask them this question; Whom does tho devil treat the best; can you hiiug the scriptural proof of your doctrine being right, viz: that it is persecuted? You know you cannot. I can. And by the same pintles who persecuted my dear LOUD before me the "chief priests; the scribes; the elders of the people." As your doctrine it "walks in silver slippers" as Buuyaii hath it. It brings lespectahlity in its train. Your ecclesiastical "rings" are like other rings, banded to crush all opposition. Let hut a Paul appear, not to say Mesus, and straightway Pharisee and Saducee combine to put him down; as "Pilate and Herod," hating each other like poison, "made friends" over n common persecution of tho "Christ of (iod." I preach no doctrine tliat, by any prob ability, can approach the Calvinlstiehoi r of NilviUlmi only intended forafew, while the mass were judicially passed by, to illustrate by an eternity of torture oii'o side of Uod's character. I have never approached in impiety, the Arminiiin doctrine that the devil can (snatch one of Christ's dear "bheep" "out ! of His band, in spite of Him. ! Yet when J pivncli Ood is I.OVK And j Nothing Klse, these hostile camps, who ilrlit oVr tluir issus like cat and do;. make up their quarrels for the time, till they can combine to silence this "voice of one crying in the wilderness." I wisli I could only get dear, honest souls to see how "historv is repeating itself" in this matter, if pcradventure they might lie "delivered out of the snare of the devil," who are thus "led blind fold at his will," only for lack of sober second thought. Most people only look nt the outside fact that this thing is "everywhere spoken against," thinking that its proper condemnation. Whereas, if they would only read their Bibles, 'they would discover that this is the seal of Heaven on true doctrine, without which, indeed, no teaching can be like that of Jesus and IDs Apostles. We can never forget the loving way in which our sympathizers treated us in Danville. And I feel sure all who attended tho meeting hud a better God at its close than when it began. So many came with tears of joy and tender hand-pressure to tell us this that I cannot doubt the fact. This Is the chief delight that happy souls relinquish heathen gods wherever we go, and cleave to the "only true Ood. even Jesus Christ, Whom He hath sent." Tho "Ood of our Fathers" is often seen to be, at best, but a Hindoo deity, before whom the prostrate worshipper grovels in a "spirit of bondage again to fear." To help such terror-stricken ones to a better knowledge of the dear, Itoautifiil "God and Father of our LOUD Jesus Christ," and see them "clothed and in a right mind," instead of 'wandering among the tombs" of buried joys, "cutting themselves" with the sharp Hint-stones of a cruel theology this is a joy akin to Heaven; and so largely ours, of late, that we can gladly "bear all things" for the bweet compensating happiness it bring us. For the rest, Danville will always be n place where peculiar interest centres. It does not lose its old identity, as so many modern towns and cities do. It has never grown beyond easy recognition. Improved in many ways, the old landmarks remain as half a century ago. The old College campus and building; the president's house; the "First Church;" the Yonce mansion; the familiar residences on Broadway and 'Sri streets; the Biisscll mansion, standing guard at the head of Main street and the Rochester ditto at the foot; these and scores of other landmarks keep up the old Danville against all new comers. livery street in the town has its "host of moving memories" to me, and brings back the scenes of live and forty years agone. Some of them I wish I could forget; and yet others I never want to fade from fond remembrance. The graves of my dead are in the quiet, well-kept cemetery, that has grown fearfully within my recollection; till the sleepers in dust almost outnumber the living who walk the streets and inhabit the houses. Our train was to have left at 1:"0 i m. It was delayed six hours, which threw us at Dixon at II o'clock at night. There we found our good "Yorick," faithful and due, wit li carriages, amply seating our pin ty of 8. Miss Belle Boot, John Woodcock, wife andson, with the Troupe made up the number. Six miles of drive through rain and darkness brought us to the church, whose lower windows blazed a cheerful welcome to the benighted travelers, type of the true House of God, whoso doors stand open night and day and welcome the wanderers as well as "pilgrims of thu night." Sister Kiln, at the parsonage, kept midnight vigil, with hotcoilbe, abundant feast and smiling welcome; as bright of face as if we had arrived at proper supper time. Wo violated all rules of hygiene; ate heartily at half past one; went immediately to bed; and slept, un chased of goggle-eyed dragons of dyspepsia, and unharmed hy demons of indigestion. Offended hygiea took no revenges on our tired party; smiled in sweet forgiveness, as one who could make allowances for wearied travelers, and waved a wand of absolution as wo sank to rest. Of how happy we are at "Yorick's" and how glad to get buck to this quiet nook, where of all places I know, the outer world and its roar are shut out most completely. Anon, if the LOUD will.
