For the past severaLyears such has not been the case. Your County is regard ed as one of if not the most progressive Counties iu the State, but her interest in the State Fair seems to have waned, and why? I hope your farmers will wake up, write to me for a premium list and entry blanks and again enter into competition with other Counties in the State."

The young lady lives about a mile front the city limits. She was on her way from the Central Graded Schoo], and passed a field iu which Jenkins was ploughing. The scoundrel came towards her, made an indecent proposal to her and an in decent, exposure of his person. The lady screamed, ran from the brute and soon reached home, frightened almost to death and completely prostrated. Ibu- father, who was in the city, was notified, and the matter was reported to thc proper officers. In the meantime a number of thc friends of the family ' heard of the attempted outrage and be gan searching for the negro. <>n Thursday lie was found at his home, was identified, and was given thc choice of swinging at the end of a rope or submitting to a certain surgical op eration. He chose the latter, and it was scientifically performed byan ex pert. The brute was then warned to leave this section as soon as he was able to walk. About a j carago the ne gro attempted a similar outrage iii this County and was given a severe whip ping, which seems to have done no good. He was given what he deserved last Thursday, and no doubt will be a lesson that he will not soon forget. To ('uri? La (irlpi)n in Two Day*. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
