Our Fair!

Mr. EDIToR:-I feel it to be my duty
as President Of the Monroe County Agri-
cultural Society to call the attention of the
people cf the County to our coming
annual fair. 1t is well known 10 the citi
zens generally that the Society has at
great expense fitted mp grounds to ac-
commodate all that may come, and /
promise on behalf the Society that the
coming Fair shall surpass in attraction
any former fair We have made arrange
ments to have BALLOON ASCENSION
some time during the Fair, and BRIL-
LIANT FIRE WORKS each night of
the Fair. The grounds will be put in
good order, and nothing shall be wanting
on the part of the Society to make the
coming Fair complete success. Let me
then say, come one, come all! and bring
everything with you that may add to the
attraction or usefulness of the assembled
multitude. In these times of wor, let
those who cannot repair to the tented
field, aid our valiant army who have
marched to the defense of our glorious
country by advancing the interests o!
agriculture and the mechanic arts in old
Monroe. s. P. JONES, Pres't..

prostratIon. II The yI.ai power can be sus-
tanned until the cause of sickness is removed
by purgation of the bowels, and an equaliza-
ton of the circulation, a cure is certain. This
grand object is accomplished by the Ready
Relief which should therefore always be at
hand to meet emergencies.
RADwAY's REGULATING PILLS empty the OBJ
stIucted bowels without pain, act specifically
upon the liver, and at once purify and nourish
the blood and restore the equilibrium of the
circulation. Without risk of the after conse-
quences of Calomel, Blue Pill, Quinine, Potash
or Iron, they at once expel all morbid matter
from the system and recruit its energies;
acting as purgative, alternative, and stomach
ic In these effects vegetable medication has
its perfect triumph.
