fed and arranged by departments aud in such order
as to facilitate the labors Of the several committees
on premiums and also to employ such police and
doorkeepers and clerks, as shal! be necessary for
the protection of the grounds and buildings, and
such clerks as they may need in the arrangement
and labelling OF articles

9th. II is desirable 10 make the Fair a Central
andM MlLutacturers Exchange
We request individuals who have a surplus of |
choice articles, or who make them for sale such |
as choice seeds, machines, Stock &c----to carry |
them there or sale, and not alone for exhibition for
q premium. e iih
7th. Premiums.-It is impossible to name in a no |
tee like this all, the various articles to which pre-
miums will be granted. However comprehensive |
we might make any enumerated list there would |
sull be many articles of merit offered which would
not be embraced in 1t, and yet richly deserving |
premiums, lest therefore the announcement of pre-
miums for particular articles night be construed by
somelnto an exclusion Tall articles unannounced
the Committee requests the people generally to
observe, hat it is intended TO give the action of
the Association the very widest'scope, empIa acing
every thing that is ingenious useful IN business
or art. All then, with whatever they have for sale
OF exhibition, are invited to come. The only
regulation further necessary on this point perhaps
Is, that, on all articles OF the highest merit in the
department OF Stock, Mechanics Agricultural I'M
plements, and valuable mprovements or inventions
in any of the departments, premium of a cup
worth 10 will be gwen on the second best arti-
cles cup worth will be given, on the third best
\ 2. SO; on the fourth an honor. And on all arti-
cles OF the highest merit in the remaining depar.
ments cup worth s viii be given on the second
best 2. so; on the third an honor; on The fourth
I'd honor. On MINER and misce celaneous articles
premiums from one TO three dollars-these how
ever,are general regulations, and in particular case
or cases of peculiar merit the committees will be
permitted, indeed are requested, TO vary the rule
9Th, A hall will be prepared and assigned parti-
cularly to the Ladies for their garden products
flowers la
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 70 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
rda. We hope they will unite with us in making
this Institution indeed, what tits in name Southern
Central Agric ultural Association.
