that premium will not be awarded to any arti-
Gle, whatever its merit, unless accompanied by
Illustrative and explanatory statements, made out
in legible hand, and in style fit at once for the
press.
5,h. The delegations of the several county Socie-
ties are requested and enjoined to make out, upon
consultation a report of the present condition of
Agriculture in their several countless of the i'm
provements in farming, tilIage, draining and manu-
ring, which have been or are in progress Of being
adopted The leading products of their countless
the modes Of preparation time of planting and mod
of cultivation. The means and measures of preser-
wing and increasing the fertility of lands Accurate
Agricultural memoirs from the several county

9th IL is desirable TO make the Fair Central
SouthernAgricultura andM !. nufacturers Exchange
We request individuals who have a surplus Of
choice articles, or who make them for sale such
choice seeds, machines, stock, &c---to carry
them there for sale, and not alone for exhibition for
premium.
7th Premiums.-lt is impossible to name in
tce like this all the various articles TO which pre-
miums Will be granted. However comprehensive
we might make any enumerated list there would
still be many articles of merit offered which would
not be embraced in IL, and yet richly deserving
premiums, lest therefore the announcement of pre-
miums for particular articles might be construed BY
someinto an exclusion of all articles unannounced,
the Committee requests the people generally to
observe, hat IL is intended TO give the action of
the Association the very widest scope, embI AGING
svery thing that is ingenious or useful IN business
or art. All then, with whatever they have for sale
or exhibition, are invited to come. The only
regulation further necessary on this point perhaps
ia, that, on all articles of the highest merit in the
department of Stock, Mechanics, Agricultural I'm
plements, and valuable improvements or inventions
in any of the departments, a premium of cup
worth 10 will be given on the second best arti-
cles cup worth 5 will be given, on the third best
So. 50; on the fourth an honor And on all arti-
cles of the highest merit in the remaining depar.
ments cup worth IS will be given; on the second
best 2. so on the third honor on The fourth,
I'd honor. On miner and msce laneous articles
premiums from one 10 three dollars-these how
ever are general regulations, and in particular case
cases Of peculiar merit the committees will be
permitted indeed are requested, to vary the rule.
9Th. hall will be prepared and assigned parti-
cularly to the Ladies for their garden products,
fruits, flowers paintings, needlc-work, &C. They
are cordially invited to attend Their assistance
in many departments of the fair is absolutely ne
cessary to proper management,
9th. The facilities of getting 20 this central
point induce us'to invite and to expect the pre-
sence and contributions of many of our fellow
citizens Of Carolina Alabama Tennessee and Flo
rida. We hope they will unite with us in making
this institution indeed what il is in NAME Southern
Central Agric utural Association.
