It is one ol the loading purposes of Tin: 1i eio n at to labor with all its ca pacity to show up the iesouicea of Halifax county. The county fair is an opportune time and place for doing a i;reat dealt.) this cud. Since the last Fair it has been published through the columns of this paper, at the request ol the Eiesident of the Fair, t hat wimbling will not be allowed as it has been: and no farmer can hesitate from convictions against that evil to do his part in person and inlbicnce for the Fair. The j;;:mb!iiig evil is r.of to be in the way any more. Now.

It lias been the most en- ! venomfd and merciless sentiment ' ever known to irfest and pollute the ? human soul. A i Tliomas Jederson, more than a' hundred years ago, laid the hand of reform on the laws of primogeniture, ! the lawi of entail, and the union of! church and st de, and as a eon-e-1 qnenee was painted as a Jacobin and ! i atheist, an enemy to God and men, oj- un; oi oei y: oi;ii-tu kdjio.;,, anl by the same powerf-El cass:s which afterwards so fiercely sought ! the destruction of the great British': statesman a -id reformer.
