THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.


Az the time. for holding the annual
Fair Of the Agricultural Society, will soon
be here, we deem Il not amiss TO say 4
few words concerning its prospects. II
certainly must be a source Of pride to the
housewife to know that she can have the
pleasure Of exhibiting specimens Of her
handiwork to an intelligent assembly Of
people from all parts Of the country and
to feel that she deserves the premium
awarded BY discriminating judges. The
heart Of the artizan must leap with Joy
as he watches the admiring glances the
spectators bestow upon his works Of skill
and what pleasure thrills his blood
when the ribbon Is tied upon his tavQrite
manufacture! But what shall we say Of
the farmer, Of the beauties, pleasures and
advantages Of whose life poets have sung,
and. for whose ease and retirement states
men and professional men Of every kind,
have vainly longedl Shall we say that
they look with anxious solicitude for the
approach of the Fair that they feel a
proud interest in its SUGGEST Their &C.
tions tell that they are. interested. and.
with few scattering exceptions. wenev-
or saw such a universal determination to
make the approaching Fair the most bril-
liant and entertaining that aver was held
In this section. IT'S true, some little,
spiteful opposition has presented itself.
but this only gave the Society deeper
root In the regard ofits friends and only
strengthened their desire to make the ex-
hibitions more successful. Okolona has
already won ahigh reputation for getting
up interesting fairs, and having, this year,
many advantages, not possessed before
on account Of our isolated position, and
our people being more alive than ever to
the social importance Of agricultural ex-
hibitions, We predict much nicer time
than usual.
