DELEGATE ELECTIONS.

Saturday the 29th inst, is the day ap-
pointed for holding the elections in the va
rious townships for delegates to the Union
County Convention. 1t is unnecessary to
urge upon the Union men of the county the
Importance Of these elections, aad the ne
cessity for sending the best men in their
ranks to the convention, but it viii not be
amiss to say here, that while their impor-
tance is admitted in theory it is for the most
part ignored in practice. 1t is too much the
custom to neglect delegate elections, and
leave the appointment of delegates to few
persons, SO that there is no fair expression
of the public viii by the parties represent
ing the various districts. The affairs of our
county as conducted for some years past,
serve to show the importance of both nom
mating and electing good men for the va
rious offices, who are both able and willing
to discharge their duties as guardians of the
publie welfare Tho fav naunrs of thoeoi,p-
ty have deep interest in these matters for
they must bear the burthen Of the public
expenditure. Let them take hold of the
matter at the delegate elections and see that
good men are sent as delegates, who will be
able to place good, faithful, honest and
competent men in nomination, who, if cleo
ted, viii discharge the duties of their vari-
GUS offices in such manner as shall re-
dound to their own credit and that of the
party electing them.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

A meeting of the Bedford County Agri-
cultural Society has been called for the
29th inst. which we hope to see well attend
ed. Now that an earnest effort is being
made to awaken a renewed interest in agri-
cultural matters we would like to see our
more intelligent farmers give the enterprise
the time and attention it requires. The
time spent in holding meetings, fairs, &C.,
is never lost, but is often more than COM
pensated for by the increased interest
awakened in agricultural pursuits. No
county in the state has greater need than
ours Of the infusion of spirit of improve
ment in our agriculture. Scarcely a farm
in the county to day yields more than half
what it might, while many do not yield a
fourth part of what they ought This is
not so much the fault of the farms as of the
farmers, and it will only be remedied when
higher degree of intelligence and business
capacity is devoted to the work. This will
only be done when an increased interest in
their work is awakened amongst our far
mers. Improved stock, better man
agement of farm labor, the introduction
wherever practicable, of labor saving ma
chinery, more thorough culture, and every
thing calculated to make farming attractive
and profitable follow in the wake Of the
spirit Of energy and activity awakened by
meetings and fairs, where the various meth
DDS of culture are discussed, the products
Of the farm exhibited and the proftableness
Of agricultural pursuits demonstrated.
No one will deny our need Of all sheso. Let
all who feei an interest in this subject and
who wish to see change for the better,
lend their influence and give ashare Of their
time to an effort for the improvement of
Bedford County farming.
