At a recent meeting of the executive commitee'of t^-e State Fair it was decided to increase the premiums. It was also decided to sivea prizs for the best county exhibits, the first prize being $350, the second ?250, and the third $100. The first premium ?ould easily be won by Fairfield County, and if the farmers would only tike enough interest and begin early to do all in their power to get the interest of all the farmers aroused, the prize would be carried off by this county next November. It is the best way to A WAflrtn A f fVilQ Uitih.U M1UW1I IUC icouut^co vi IUIS j county, and even though it will involve a good deal of (rouble it would certainly be worth while for the farmers to unife in working for the first prize. The other premiums will be worth trying for, and our farmers ought to determine at once to carry c-fF the lion's share of premiums. TO BE TRIED FOR ElS LIFE. Mr. Nick Myers, formerly of this county, but who has for a number of years been living in Florida, is to be tried for his life on the 1st of March. He has been accusad of killing a man in and is fn hp. friftd for the crime. Mr. Myers was a gallant Confederate soldier and served daring the war in Gen. Bratton's brigade. His friends in Fairfield are fully convinced of bis innocence, and after hearing of the trouble that he 13 in some of his TVinnsboro friends have contributed money to help him out of his difficulty. All of the money that is needed has not yet been collected, but after the facts have been brought to the notice of the people others will probably come forward with contributions. It is hoped that Mr. Myers will ne aDie 10 prove ms innuceuee, and Ms friends who deeply sympathize with hiin ill await anxiously the result of the trial. ? # o? ? HENRY TI3IR0D. A memorial edition of Henry Timrod's poems is now out. This volume contains a complete collection of the beautiful poems and a portrait of the author. The Timrod Memorial Association are working in order to raise j a monument to the poet, and the proceeds from the sale of the book will 20 towards the monument. The price of the book has been fixed at a moderate sum, ond this book, which should be in the library of every South Caro- ' iinian, is within the roach of everyone. The Century Magazine says that "Timrod wa3 a true American poet and worthy to stand in the narrow space that belongs to the best." For many years it has been almost impossible to buy a copy of Timrod's poems, but now that a new edition has been issued it is to be hoped that the association will realize from the sale of the books a large enough sum to enable ' -? x - - - ?? ^ n t-? s\ f -no ioinrr I II1C1U uj can/ uut tuon yjrtu ui nunug a memorial.

Certainly it is not even doing justice to Maj. Woodward to say that he is not only one i-.f the landmarks of our county, but al30 of our State. Mr. Editor, believing that "honor should be rendered to whem honor is due," I suggest th&t some one of Fairfield's r.itirpns. whn r?an r><ill minrJ fhp> r>APt that Msj.

FE AXCIS GERIG Anotn?r landmark in Winnsboro passed away when Mr. Francis Gerig died at his home in Winneboro. on Saturday morning about C o'clock. Mr. Gerig bad not been well for nearly a year, bat possessing & most remarkable constitution together with wonderful determination he continued , to attend to tha datiea of life, and bit will power doubtless prevented bis succumbing to disease sooner. On Monday, the 20th lost., be was stricken with paralysis, and no hope was entertained of his recovery. Francis Gerig was born February 56th, 1817, at Sondershausen, Germany. On Julv 4th, 1847, he landed in New York city, and settled in Winnsboro July, 1343," entering business with Mr. Mason Chandler, deceased, the father of Mr. C. M. Chandler. On November 9tb, 1848, he was happily married to Mis3 Mary S. Btankenstein, of Colombia, to which marriage were born twelve children five of whom, Mrs, C. T. Gooding, of Macon, Ga., Mrs. E. P. Wolfe, of Puerto Principe, Cuba, Messrs. J. J. and A. E. Gong, of Ocalo, Fla., and Miss Laura Gerig, of Winnsboro, together with his widow, survive him. A.ItUoagn Dorn in a Toreign coauiry, and devoted to his native land, Mr. Gerig, landing in New York on the 1th of July, 1847, became a thorough American citizen, at much devoted and loyal to his adopted country as he lovcS Germany. He was always for liberty and against oppression and tyranny, and as true to duty in public affairs as any native. He baearne a South Carolinian a3 much so as aiv man in the State, and when South Carolina called for volunteers he j promptly offered his services against the invading foe. On January 1st, 1862, he entered into the active service of the Confederacy as a member of "Lyles Rifles," Jai. H. Rion, captain; prior to that time Mr. Gerig was engaged in making accoutrements for the Government. Mr. Gerig carried with him into camp the same faithfulness to duty that marked his life to the end. ' After the war. be resumed business as a merchant, and a number of years ago Mr. J. W. Selgler entered into business with him under the firm name of Gerig k Seigler,. which continued' up to the time of Mr. Gerig's death. Mr. Gerig was a man of magnificent personal appearance-& striking resemblance lo Bismarck's pictures, but kandsomer. Tall, ereot and distinguished in person, he would attract attention anywhere. He was courtly in his manners, and seeing him once you would look at: him again. A man of strong convictions, once ha conceived his duty nothing could deter him. His death removes a personage lonsr familiar on oar streets, and on every band is general sorrow that he is no more among us.
