Robertson is right in agi- ating the quession of a County Fair in the -.county of Wilkes. There is no.reason why a coun ty fair should not be established in Wilkes. It could he made sl success financially to the man agers, and it goes without men tion that it would be a great benefit to Wilkes county, both in exhibiting to the world the great resources of the county, and in inciting our people to greater energy in agriculture, and to better and mqre profita ble method's of farming. It would very materially assist in bringing about a new era of progress in the great "State of Wilkes.'' We hope our farm: ers will take sufficient . interest in the matter to give it their serious attention. The propo sition of the News is correct that a meeting be held and an organization be effected look ing to the establishment of a permanent county fair. Mr. Mebane, of Rockingham, who was nominated for Judge in this district, has the reputa tion of being an able lawyer and a splendid gentleman, and he will no doubt make a most excellent Judge. - The Judicial convention prop erly endorsed the present in cumbent, Mr. W. W. Barber, lor solicitor, lie nas maae a erood and efficient officer, and after next election,. he will still be one of the most competent Judicisw-mlli!efii mihe State. Qite an Excitement. ! There was ouite ment last week in this section on accouut of the finding .of a box by Mr. Curtis while fishing in the Yadkin some two or three hundred yards above Cur tis ford. The box appeared to bean old tpbacco box filled with old kind of old iron scraps, and had three ropes attach e,d to it with a staple. There was a loop in one rope about the size of a man's neck, and there appeared to be traces of blood on the ropes, and signs of mag ots. Suspicion was raised that there had been foul play, and that some unfortunate being had been tied to the box and thrown in the liver. On the. bank near the place, a kuife was found, and there were signs of there having been a fire kindled, for the purpose of a light. It was remembered too, that a closed carriage was seen driving toward that poiRt ;late one night, returning an hour St so later. This all in creased the excitement, and quite a crowd went out and thoroughly searched the river, but no signs of a victim discov ered. . There has been no one discovered missing in this sec tion yet, and it is probable that future developements will show that the mysterious box of con glomerated iron scraps was used for the purpose of anchor ing a fish basket, iustead of de stroying a human being. Later. It has been ascer tained that the mysterious box belongs to uncle Andy Gil reath colored, and was used as an anchor for a .fish basket.
