An intelligent gentleman, writing under date of
October Goth, says:
Cotton crops much short of last year.
From having, at the LIST of August the best pros
poets of any for years past, we have the worst
since, probably, 1916. Excessive rains, rust, rot
&C., have told the tale.

STATE FAIR.


We are pleased to hear by the Standard of the
18th inst, that the third Annual Fair of the State
of North Carolina, opened on Tuesday, last, under
very fattering circumstances. Ample improve
ments have been made upon the former occasions,
and grand time expected.
We noticed the presence Of that enterprsing and
scientific Farmer of Davidson Dr. Holt, at the Fair,
with eleven of his superior Devon cattle. If the
Doctor would transfer his farm to the view of the
visitors at Raleigh, it would be perhaps the
most profitable part of the show. He is a model
Farmer and should be initiated. Perhaps the most
interesting feature of the exhibition is the Annual
Grafton of Hon. Thos. Ruftn. 1t will doubtless be
highly instructive and interesting address. Will
any Of our counynen have any thing at the Fair for
exhibition? We fear not. Is it right that do
ourselves so little justice?
Have we not as intelligent farmers any county
in the State? Shall we never have any community
of feeling relative to our Agricultural interest? -
What prevents Wings and Democrats from layiHS
aside party spirit for WHILE and uniting under the
banner of mutual Agricultural improvement. Moth
ing is needed to make Rockingham prominent in the
ranks Of enterprising, public spirited Counties but
placing before her people her true condition at pres
cnt, and her future condition when she has availed
herself of the advantages which Science and Art at
the present day are conclring Let us have Asrl-
cultural meetings and establish an Agricultural So
ciety. Let some of intelligent farmers, whose
wealth enables them to enjoy their otiu cum dig
nituate" spend little OF their leisure in preparing
addresses to deliver to the people. Let them write
words Of encouragement for this paper urging upon
their brother farmers the importance of County
Fairs and County Societies, and State Fairs. Be-
cause the State at large takes interest in our
prosperity, should therefore do nothing for our
selves
Blessings, they say, never come single. Since
Railroads are coming towards us and around us
and peradventure the steamboats, whistle may re-
vertebrate amongst US; who knows that Agricu ture
will not awake from her sleep OF death, and cotne
herself in the garments of beauty and life?

Some of DR.. Hollis fine cattle have been left in

can do so by applying to MIR. John R. Harrison.

Hydro Electric Voltaic Chains!

A RE for tho first time presented TO the people
n of Glasgow and vicinity as a NEW, scIEN-
TiFIc and CONVENIENT method Of applying Eloc-
tro Magnetism, in the instant relief and permanent
cure of all nervous diseases. .
Rheumatism, PaIpitaton of theheart
Painful &swelled joints, Rheumatic pains of chest
Neuralgia of the face, Female diseases,
Deafness, Blindnrss, General debility,
Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Contractor limbs
Painsln the back, Paralysis, Sciatlca.
History Pulvermacher's Chains were first in
troduced into this country about one year since,
in the city or New York. where they were sub
iected TO the most rigorous and thorough trial in
every hospital in that city, by Professors Valentine
Mott, Van Buren,, Post, Carnochan, who al once
discovered that they possessed strange aud tron-
derful power in almost instantly relieving all ner-
vous pain, tchereUer located and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case that their
opinions were published through The public press
and thousands have been induced TO try them and
in no single instance have they failed TO perform
oil we advertise TO do They are patented in this
country, France, England, Germany, Austria and
Belgium, and are in use in every hospital in Eu-
rope, and also in every hospital in n. Y. Citv
No other Medical Agent can produce so many
well .authcnticated Certificates of cure--not only
from intelligent PATIENTS but from Scientific Phi
sicidns, and their sale, wherever introduced, has
been unparalleled.
The chains are so constructed as TO be worn
near the skin, producing a constant current of
Eiectro- Magneusm-cah ne used by either adults
or chlldren--neyer get out of repair, and with
proper care will last for years.
Price of Chains So and 50, and can be sent by
mail to any part of the country. pamphlet Of
Sc pages always accompanies each chain, and can
| be had of any agent, gratis.
| CAUTION TO LADIES.-Ladiesv who are en-
cente are requested not to use them for great
length of time, only for few moments: for by
continued use miscarriage is frequently produced.
| For Uterine Pains one end of the chain is TO be
applied over the abdomen, and the other upontho
spine, just above the hips.

SPARKLING SUNDAY NIGHT.

Sitting in the corner,
On a Sunday eve,
With taper finger
Resting on your sleeve:
Starlight eyes are casting
On your face their light,
Bless me this is pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night!
How your heart is humping
'Gainst your Sunday vest
How wickedly lis working
On this day OF rest.
Hours seem but minutes
As they take their fight,
Bless me! aint it pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night
Dad and man are sleeping
On their peaceful bed,
Dreaming of the things
The folks in meeting said,
Glove you one another"
Ministers recitc;
Bless ne! don't we do it,
Sparkling Sunday night.
One arm with gentle pressure
fingers round her waist;
You squeeze her dimpled hand,
Her pouting lips You taste;
She freely slaps your face,
Bat more in love than spite;
O! thunder, amt it pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night.
But bark! the clock is striking
It's two o'clock, snum!
As sure as I'm a sinner,
The time Togo has come;
You ask in spiteful accents,
eff that old clocl, is right"
And wonder if it ever
Spanked on Sunday night!
One, two, three, sweet kisses,
Four, five, six, you hook
But thinking that you rob her,
Give back those you took;
Then as forth you hurry,
From the fair cne's sight,
Don't YOU wish each day
Was only Sunday night.
