f, ,ho minds of those interested. We would again
call attention to the matter and SOLICIT tnose WIZ

from such Society, to an expression OF opinion mon
through our columns. Keep the tnal'eI s"i''"s ~
success shall be attained.
We would ask those interested in this mat'er 10
look to the county of EdgeCombe for example OF Ie
rood results of an Agricultural Society. IWeh.y
Years ago that County foushed to some little extent
on account of the WagOn Commerce from the west est
the Railroad was built, and this revenue was cut o
The County and especially the county seat hegah
dwinde like many others that raise about nail enough
to eat and have the advantages OF trade to supply
the deficiency She then turned her attention TO the
Improvement of her soil the advantages OF assocla-
lion were laid hold of; consequence, Agriculture
Aourshed and Edgecombe is now one of the first coun
lies in the State; her wealth increasing her lands I'M
proving her educational and other facilities keeping
pace, and consequently. the happiness OF her cls'-
gems established upon unshakeable foundation. ASK
any of her enlightened citizens the cause OF all ths
and he will proudly tell you that it is owing almost
solely 10 the improvements she has made In the ar'
of tage. III,
We hone the interest of the subject will awaken
Warren farmers from their lehargy and inactivity
and that philanthropy and patriotism will induce them
10 seek and mpart others information that Will re-
suit in good to all. And this can be done In no bet
ter way than by forming Agricultural Society.
