The ladies' department was very creditabe, but
not as full it might have BEEN We hope they
will continue to manifest increased interest in these
exhibitions. We think the premium list does them
full justice. To the young ladies. both in town snd
country, We woul! respectfully suggest do not let
another Fair pass without larger and more full ex-
hibtion of your handiwork. We were pleased to
see exhibitors and spectators from the counties Of
CASTOR, Iredell. Rowan and Caharrus. and from
South Carolina. 1t is the wish of the Society that
the citizens Of the surrounding counties will con-
tinue to attend our annual Fairs and compete for
prizes --g,

Of the Society for the ensuing year. and feel con-
fident that he will make an efficient officer. The
FAIR Grounds are well adapted to the purpose and
cost we believe, with the Improvements, about ST.

ton amounted to about $500. -.
