THE si ?i ESS OF THE lAli:
The 10th annual fair of the Ri
pahannock Valley Agricultural n
Mechanical Society lias just clou
mu? the most pessimistic of our p
pit- cannot pronounce it other that
great encres*. In many of its i
piirtiiii'iits it surpassed previous '
liiltitions and certainly in the nn
baf of persons in at tendance it s
passed any previous fair liekl by t
society. It is gratifying to km
that the people of this communi
continue t?> take an active inten
in the fair. They enjoy tti?- exhibi
they enjoy the racing; tliey enjoy t
balloon ascension, and above ;
they enjoy the social intereour
On the second day ?>f t!i?> fair
was estimated that about 8,0
people were present, and ?hi!?' eve
one seemed to be enjoying the <>???
sinn there was practically no ?1
order or rowdyism. The racing m
probably not up to the previo
standards, owing to the small nu
ber of horses entered in the vario
events, on account of which a nui
1st of tli?' races were declared off, I?
in most every event the finishes wi
close and exciting. The exhibits
the ladies' department were up
the usual high standar?!, as W?
those of the stock department, wh
the exhibitions in the farm produ
department probably f?-ll a liti
short of some previous recorda T
(toultrv exhibit far surpassed tin
of any previous fair, and numbers
persons from outside the State, wl
have seen large poultry exhibits

that it was equal to any they hi
sean anywhere. We congratulate tl
management apon the su
tin? fair. It is a great iiistituti?
for this section of Virginia.

The Chicago pupil in the publi?
schools has no dread of the birch
either at home or in the school, ii
consequence of a rum ?>f the schoo
authorities. It has long been under
stood that mi pupil should 1m> ?has
tiled in the schools, either by teachei
or principal, and so when a boy be
ruine unruly he wassenl homefor lii?
parents to correct. But this hai
bean stopped now, mulera ruling ??

asks the teacher no favors.
"fas Japan press has been severely
critifJng the terms of peace and in

trouble to the government. Tin
Emperor has taken hold of the mat

this action will have a good effect
and the trouble will cease.
Dr. .lohn Barnado, the great phil?

An effort is on foot to bring about

shedding of blood. It is hoped the
effort may prow effective, and that

Russia is not the only bomb
