Our Fair Sparks Envy Across Towns and State Lines
Editorial notes rival towns eyeing the Hagerstown fair with envy while Martinsburg residents flock to the event. The piece argues the fair grew from local energy and railroad access, not blockade by others, and cites cross river attendance and possible boycotts from Hagerstown if Martinsburg hosts superior entertainments. It also surveys a Baltimore speech by Hon. McConea praising Lowndes era reforms and nepotism, then briefly advertises Hood's Sarsaparilla and Banner Salve.
