although they cannot expect 4 premium

lieve they will find it 10 be a very efficient
mode of bringing them into notice.
And last, though not of least importance,
the Ladies are respectfully invited to make
and exhibit of their handlwork, and the
Committee feel assured that the display OF
all that is useful and ornamental in their
line will equal, if not exceed, any other

bers of the Society or not, are invited to
attend the exhibition as exhibitors, vet
that no person who has not signed the

to the Treasurer a sum not less than one
dollar, previous to the time of exhibition
shall be entitled to premium.
The Committee would again urgently
request of the citizens of Minim county

| those who are members, to exert them
selves and persuade their neigAbors 10 be
| come members also.
All exhibitors must be subject to tho
rules and regulations adopted by the Soci
ETY..
Two premiums cannot be awarded fo
the same animal or article, in any cast
whatever.

More Truth than Poetry.
The people dear, politicians say,
Is what makes appear to-day,
We write in rhyme so that you all
May read, reflect, and give US call
For we have opened, and for sale designed,
Boots and Shoes of every kind
For men and women we've supplies
For children, too, of every size.
We've LADIES Doors, the best that's made,
And Misses toe, of every grade;
Our stock of Caters is complete
Our Jeferson's cannot be beat.
Our Jenny Lind's are just the thing;
But ofthem we need not sing,
Merely say that they are cheap,
Double soied, and can't be beat.
Our Boots are all of the best kind,
A little the best in town, you'll fiud;
We've boys boots too, so very low,
We are surprised how fast they go.
Ofhalf our stock we cannot sing,
For II consists of every thing
That women, men, or boys do wear
So much can't describe with
And ifit suits the peoples mind,
Wen take produce of every kind
But, then, the CASH, it Is confessed
AT all times will suit Us the best
You need not fear our shelves to thin,
supplies are always coming III;
We buy them cheap, and well we know,
We cant be beat III selling low
Now. we invite you, one and ALL
We hope you'll not forget TO call:
Nou'll find us two doors from WHttsOn's store
Aud now we are done-we'Il say no more.
