OUR FAIR ?The Journal wishes to call the attention of the farmers ami the ladies of this section to the Fourth Annual Fair of the Southside Agricultural Association, to be held on the nth, 12th and 13th of October. A glance at the premium list wjll disclose t.he fact that the management is offering attractive premiums in the agricultural, ?y work and housekeeping departments, and we sincerely hope that the farmers and ladies will send in numerous exhibits. The Association has been holding very successful fairs, and this afW?ii^e.s. to be the banner one of all?that is, if the stock raisers, farmers and housekeepers .will encourage them by sending their exhibits to the grounds. If yon have not a copy of the premium list, you can secure one by writ J><r Mr. Percival Hicks, North,Ya. Ehe race program promises, too, to be unusually attractive, and every one will ue repaid by attending the Fourth Annual Fair. We neglected in our last issue to include in the Democratic ticket the names of A. \V. 1 hu? man, Jr., fur State Treasurer, Hon. ?*V, Q. Eggleston for Secretary of the Commonwealth and lion. G. PW. Koiner, Commissioner of Agriculture. We now include these distinguished Virginians in the list of Democratic nomin?is and cordially commend them as worthy and deserving officers? ~^S-_^^^ It is not pleasant to send duns, and The Journal dislikes to have to remind some of its subscribers that their subscriptions arc- past due. A newspaper, however, can? not run on hot air alone, and we ?therefore have to ask our patrons t?? furnish us with something men substantial with which to meet the demands (if business. We will be very much obliged if all of our subscribers in arrears will forward us the sum of $1.00 each. We will appreciate the money, and you will more- fully appreciate the paper if you know it is paid for. It hah been the purpose of Tin Journal to call the attention ol the merchants and business peo? ple of Mathews C II. to the fact that the people who come to oui [iving town to trade with- oui ami up-to-date stores find tie their horses. In ?j , the plai es can be tied ai ind dirty water. ? I XT, tat* Con? lit ion v? a dis j jrracc f<? the town, and we hopo some eonoert of action may be j had to relieve the situation. TO TRAIN HORSES IN IALTIMOIE. |. II. r. Seawell, of Wtcomtco, Gloucester county, Va., lia nounced that he will shortly ;-" I Baltimore .nul join the list ? I trainers at the Gentlemen's Dii. inji Park. Mr. Seawell gained considerabl notoriety in that city several 3 aso. He came to the Drivii Park, bringing with him a 1 maro which he called Rhoda. H speeded her on the roads with anyone who would raen- him an ; then entered her in a race. N attention, except in derision, was ! paid to him, his little mare and ! his home made sulky. The tact ?abounded in humorous features. ! Tin? marc had country-made shoes on when she started, but cast three of them during the four ? heats raced. None wen- put hack, and she finished a winner wearing one shoe. Th?- trainer was thought to be a "greeny," and a wise horseman concluded that the mare was a world-beater, ami when Mr. Sea? well said "it was glory enough to win a race and he would sell the mare" she was bought quickly by a Baltimore horseman for$i,cx>). She was shipped to Philadelphia to make a killing at (?Id Point Breeze track. The dav she raced Mr. Seawell came to his Virginia home, bringing tin- purse the mare had won an?l tin- $1.00?) purchase money with him. The mare never won a rae?- at Philadelphia, or elsewhere, ami was sold for a son? and put to work in a wagon. It was not long before the hot se? men tumbled to the fact that Mr. veil was n?>t a green oik-, but was, on the contrary, a second David Hamm. Mr. Seawell comes from at?, old Virginia family. He lives on his ancestral estate in Gloucester county. His farm is said tobe the original home of Pocahontas. On the- farm is still the ?"lu? of the hut in winch the Indian's family is said to have lived. Since the Rhoda episode Mr. well has trained some horses and with them has w. n some creditable races. When he settles at Driving Park he will not ho unknown, as none who saw the Rhoda race will ever forget it or the driver. Baltimore Sun. REGATTA. Thursday, the 24th, was a day long to he remembered by the people of Mathews. It dawned j beautiful and clear with a line sail |ing breeze. Just an ideal ?lav for 1 he first "Regetta" on East river. Many launches, yachts and can assembled near Phil pot t*s Wharf, on the river, coming from the North, Ware ami Seren? rivers, ;ds?) Gwynn's Island and Winter Harbor, making a picture V< tian in its beauty. Among the many distinguished visitors was Dr. Blake, of Baltimore. The I two handsomest boats wei yacht belonging to Mr. Almon j Blow, who ownes the beautiful home-, "Belleville" on North river, and the "Wallace," a 25 horse power motor boat from Norfolk, owned by Messrs.

' Mv Dear Father: This is Sunday morning and it is indeed a gloomy one. We were to have sailed yesterday, but ow to the state of the weather have been unable to do so. We heve about 1,200 bales ol hemp alongside, but are ci to take it aboard. It has bren raining continuously since Friday evening and blowing a full-fledged .typhoon. We are laying bebind the breakwater and in a sale har? bor, and have both anchors out and 90 fathoms chain on each, and, as it is good holding ground, I we are all O. K. I think there will be a lull in the weather to? night and we will be able to take in the rest of our cargo to-morrow and get away for Cebtl. We would go now only the cargo is not in. The weather wonld not stop us, still I am very glad we are where we are and bad not last night amusement in pounding about outside of here bound down the coast. The Rus? sian ships that came into this port lately, beaten to pieces, are being repaired. They are having new panels pnt in and many iron plates put in their sides where the Japanese shells played such havoc. I wrote Melville something re? garding my intentions of return? ing lure with a vessel, but since 1 I have made a good investi? gation of the coasting trade lure. and, although there is consider? able money to be made here. ? hardly think it would pay me well ( nough to interest myself deeply in the matter. Besides, 1 j have been given to understand by i the few that are ;n the business ?here that it ?S not paying what it I used to pay, so I think I will let wed enough alone. We s! be in Boston about Sept. I", and in New York between Sept. and Sept. 30. I expect many changes to occur then, as tin re will be Se\ eral prot::, ti. MS those four American shi; But if then- is any more of th< >ns to the East, the:: I am going to ask Lnckhurst to be put on the St. Paul or St. Louis.

I ha enjoying the good cigars here to : my heart's content and at a very i moderate expense. For two cents you can get a cigar here thai i will not touch in Baltimore. Well, papa, I will drop you an? other line from Singapore, and one from Durban. I trust you are ; all well, and that trade is good. : With much love to you and all at j home, I am ever your devoted ! son, Archie T. Hunley. THE MATHEWS COUNTY VA. FITZHUGH LEE MON? UMENT FUND.
