Next Tuesday, August '2nd, Col.
Geo. V. Stanton will make an antt-
prohibition speech this place. As Col.
Stanton is theoidy white man who
has or will speak against prohibition
in the county he will, doubtless, have
a' large crowd present to hear what he
bus to 'say. A division of time will,

The Row at Farmviile.
Fast Saturday there was a row at
Farville which threatened at one time
tb became a regular riot of negroes
against the whites. The facts as well
as we could learn were about as fol
lows. John King (white) and Oscar
Jovnef fcol.1 were on bad terms and
on this day, after having "imbibed
pretty copiously." of whiskey, Joyner
said to King "Ive a grudge against
vou and I am not satiitied." King re
plied that if he was not satisned he
could have it out tlien, whereupon
Joyner struck him and King, having
u buggy whip beat Joyner . over" the
the head. The next few minutes pre
sented a scene of utter confusion dur
ing which sticks, and pistols, and
hard lists were used pretty freely, by
fully twenty men. j
During this confusion Joyner Was
arrested and while being uhdcl" ar
rest .King assaulted him, beating him.
This infuriated the negroes who rose
as one man to defend him against
anv such treatment. They rescued
Joyner who left for parts unknowh and
had not, when we received our infor
mation been heard from. The damage
though not very serious, are" quite
painful." King was cut on the head
with a stick, Joyner knocked down
with a bludgeon, and a white man was
stabbed in the back.

Having had several -of our" subscri

favored Prohibition, we are reminded
of a little incident in the life of Horace
Greely, Editor of the New York
Tribune.
Passing down Newspaper Row, in
New York City, one morning he met
one of his readers, who very excitedly
exclaimed:
"Mr. Greely, after the article you
published this morning, I intend to
stop youf paper!"
"Oh no," said Greely, "don't do
thtt." ' . ,
" Yes, Sit, my mind is made up; I
shall stop the paper."
'"Well, now, I do hatethftt rmghtly;
let me persuade you out of it."
But the angry subscriber was1 hot to
beappea-ed, and they separated. 1ate'
in the atternoon tne two im-i ngmu,
when Greely remarked:
Mr. Thtfnirson, I am very glad you
did not carry ou your threat this

"Why, you said yelt vere goin

What it is and its Objects.
Iast year, it will be remembered, the
farmers of Edrecombe and Pitt or
ganized a fair and located it at Mc
Kendreeville, Edgecombe county.
The fair was held last lall ana was a
decided success in a small way.
Deeminjr it expedient to locate the
fair permanently at some point on the
railroad the directors made a ptopi-
sition to citizens of Rocky Mount and
Tarboro to the effect that which of the
two towns would contribute the larg
est sum of money should have the fair
located iu their midst. Rocky Mount
raised the largest amount the people
of Tarboro taking little or no interest
in its location and the fair was loca
ted permanently at Rocky Mount.
When the Tarboro people woke up to
this fact they realized what they had
lost by. their lethargy and made
proposHsons to buy the Rocky Mount
people out; None of their proposi
tions we're accepted whereupon they
determined to have a fair at Tarboro
anyhowi and have gone to work to get
Hup. This much as tb the origination
of the fair may prove of interest to
those of our readers who are not famil
iar with the facts in the case.

a success, anil the officers of the Asso-"
