THE WELDON FAIR.
We are no parasite, nor have wo
any parasitical feelings, when we
assert, that it gives us inconveni
ence to find words to express our
gratification at the sure success ot
the approaching fourth annual Fair
of the Roanoke fe Tar River Agri
cultural Society, Mr. Smith, the
President, in a private letter to us
says: "It bids fair to excel all that
have preceeded it," and we learn the
same from the Editor of the Roan
vkeNeics,, We have heard many
from this section, say they are going
to "Weldon, and some too who will
not go to the State Fair. And thus
we might multiply evidence, that
the approaching fair, which takes
place on Tuesday the 2Sth of this
month, will far exceed any hereto
fore held at Welden,
Weldon was once our home, and
many genial faces and the owners
ot the same are alike nnforgotten
by us, and we ofier this as an addi
tional reason that we will be there,
in company with the largest crowd
that ever left Henderson to visit a
Weldon Fair,
No doubt some are, or havo been
thinking, what will we have to say
lor the Fair which was held here
lour days last week. We could sax
many thiDgs both for and against
it, but as we can see but little good
which could grow out of any thing
we might have to say, we shall say
but little and let it drop. Rut we
will say this, that the fair ha3 been
represented abroad by some, as
being an absolute failure, and that
by some who claim they have al
ways appreciated Henderson, We
could give names, but we forbear.
We oontradict the assertion that the
iair was a complete failure and he
who says so, does it with HQ pure
motive to our peuple. "
Senator Merrimon, delivered the
Annual Address and we give as our
opinion, that it was the best and the
most appropriate upon such an oc
casion. It was delivered with tell
ing effect before about one thousand
people, of as intelligent and refined
ladies and gentlemen as ever as
sembled in North Carolina or any
where else. No one who was pres
ent on Thursday the 9th, can say
with a clear conscience the fair was
a failure, while many will ever re
member the pleasure experienced
on that day.

xne iever is still ragging in
Shre e xit Louisiana. The new cases
are mostly among children. There
are four hundred cases now under
treatment. The fever is at Mans
Held, f0rty miles distant from
Shrevcport. The physicians advise
absentees to remain away.
A telegram from Memphis, Oct.
13, says: "Affairs here aro deplor
able. The people die faster than
they can be buried. One hundred
died unattended. The stench from
the neglected bodies is intolerable
Nine hundred have died. 01110 of
the physicians have fled. The
majority of the physicians remain
on duty day and night. Nurses and
money wanted."
KEASIVS COTTON CHOPPER AND
CL'LTIYATOII.
The leading attraction of the
Mechanical Department of the Fair
last week, was the new Cotton
Chopper and Cultivator recently
Patented by our friend and county
man C. F. Reams, Esq., now of
Raleigh. We have read with much
pleasure the favorable notices of the
Raleigh press, in regard to this new
invention as wo ot course felt a
county pride in his success.
Mr. Reams, was present in per
son ou the fair grounds and exhibi
ted the operations of his Machine,
wo are glad 10 say to the entire satis
faction of the large number of
farmers that examined it. The
machine which will bear off, chop
out and dirt the young Cotton, wiili
only one horse and hand, is simple
in construction, not liable to get out
of order, and can be worked or
managed by the most ordinary
field hand, Mr. Reams claims for
it, and we have no reason to doubt
it, that it will do the work ot itctlue
muds and Jour Aorses and do the
work more thorough and complete.
This machine is one of the most im
portant inventions that has ever
Ken made, to our Cotton farmers,
and being the work of not only a
North Carolinian, but a Gran villian,
is entitled to the highest considera
tion. The Chopper and Cultivator
will be at the Raleigh Fair this
week.

D f ar Sir. Please alio v me space
enough in yonr paper coHiinns,
which are always open and alive to
the public interests', especially of
Granville county, to call the earnest
attention ol our capitalists and busi
ness men generally, to an entcrprizc
now on foot lor the establishment,
so soon as our Legislature meets,
1 r-i a
aua a quarter can be had, ot a
Mank, probably at Henderson,
possibly at Oxford, its location to
be determined by comparative sub
ecription, and other circumstances.

We want an Institution with
ample capital, controlled by our
live and successful business men,
which will be a safe depository alike
for the poor man' tens, the middle
mar's hundreds, and the rich man's
thousand.-, and nothing would bd
easier than to place on a firm basi,
such an enterptize. it our own people
and those ot adioininir counties,
who could use it, would realize the
vital importance of this subject,
and devote the surplus and floating
capital now partly invested in other
and hss remunerative securities, to
this object. The splendid success
ot a similiar Institution in the ad"
JJ0lulnS countJ of Mecklenburg,
Va., and ot other well conducted
Banks since the war, makes our
success already assuried. A partial
canvass amongst our business men
and capitalists, convinces the writer
that the importance of the fiibject
is keenly appreciated, and leaves
little doubt that, with proper exer- j
tion, sufficient capital stock can be
had to commence operations, with
the advent of the new year 1S74.
Very respect! ully,
JOS. TOWNES.
It is thought that there are about
- 200 survivors of the Mexican Tar
