( Our County Fair.-We Published last weeA
the List of Premiums otfered by the County Ag-
Iricutural Society, for the coming Annual ran
and the Judges in the various departments. IL
will be noticed that the Society offers larger pee
miums and more of them, than 1t has hitherto lof
some years. The range of competition is much
extended, so that Farmers, ockgrowers, Horll-
eulturists and Mechanics, can have chance anu
the ladies have fair chance, also, as no praiicn
of industry, taste skill in their department mas
been overlooked, All these are steps IN the flgh'
direction to awaken interest in, and euort ioT INC
success of the Fair.
The Fair is to be held on THURSDAY and
| FRIDAY of next week-the 25th and 26th days OF
September. We should be GLAD to see eVeryoo'J
in the county and city there, with something 10
chow if not 10 take premium 1t is entlreiy 100
Iota in the century to enter into al argument 10
rrove the value Of and the great advantages 10 De
derved from the efforts of live, wide awake aS
ricultural Society, and these annual FAIRS or TX
bibtions. These are universally felt and acknowi-
edged There is no fact more universally conce-
ded by the civilization of the present age thah Tue
beneficial results of these Annual Fairs AS con
senuence Agricultural Societies everywhere exlst'
and Fairs are everywhere held. There is hardly "a
conrtv THROUGHOUT the length and breadth OF the
land with a population of ordinary intelligence
that ba, not its organized Society, for the encour
aoement of agriculture and the industrial arts and
that community in which some such organ'~a'ioii
does not exist, is rightly put down. as not very
high in the scale OF civilization.
That the gseatest good may be realized from
our Agricultural Society, it is necessary that all
should be interested, and take an active part in
the annual Fair This is the outward evidence Of
the benefits of the Society. The improvements
that our farmers have made in thegrowth of stock
grain, &c by mutual encouragement and the i'm
terchange of opinions and experiences, nre here
made maifest, and receive their reward.
Our Fair, this year, should be superior to any
thing that has gone before. We haven new Grounds,
and they are more convenient of access, and the
Hall has been enlarged and improved. We may
safely say that no better Fair Grounds can be
found in the State, than our society boast. These
Grounds have already been improved to some ex-
tent, but there still much to be done to render
them perfect. Every inhabitant of the county
should feel pride in attending, and thus contrib
uting to the means necessary to make still further
improvements upon the Grounds
The Ladies Equestrian Exercises, this fall, will
add much to attractions of the Fair. They will
take place on the afternoon of the Second day.
Finally we say to all who can, be present at the
County Fair next week The Executive Commits
tee have been indefatgable in their endeavors to
perfect all arrangements to secure the most attrac
tive as well as the most valuable Fair ever held in
the county. 1t remains for the people to do their
share by being present and providing the materi-
ala for exhibition.
