PRosPECT OF A SUCCESSFUL COUNTY AGRI-
CULTURAL SoCIETY.-For reasons not now
necessary to refer to, the old agricultural So
ciety of this county was not a success. Our
farmers, mechanics, and stock breeders have
long felt the want of a good society
and ofproperly managed annual fairs. They
have seen the great success of the Scott coun-
ty fairs, and they know perfectly well that
all the elements of a successful society exist
IN our county, and all that is lacking
IS proper organization. But a society
can not succeed by depending on voluntary
memberships or subscriptions. The surest
plan, therefore, is to organize stock COM
pany, purchase grounds, erect buildings, and
make all necessary improvements. Then
offer liberal premiums, open to competition
from all the world, stockholders or not stock
holders, residents Or non-residents, no mat
ter who-invite everybody and his wife to
come and compete for the prizes and win
them if they can. With these views Messrs.
Edward Burial, Isaac Negus and Ben
Harper purchased, about two years ago, 70
acres of land from George l.. Davenport.
situated on the plain below the Camden
Road, just beyond Stodd's foundry-a most
capital place for fair ground.
The idea was a popular one and hopes
were entertained that the plan would be
carried out, at once. Circumstances, how
every, caused delay; Mr.. Harper sold out
his interest to Burial and Negus; and
SUN the matter ran on, undeveloped. Offers
were made, by SPECTATORS, for the ground,
but Mr.. BURIAL refused to sell for any other
purpose than the one for which the land was
purchased.
Some 2or weeks age, j Milton Smith, ESQ :,
Of Chicago, President of the National Horse
fa'r Association, came to this city to see
~hat could be done about holding the next
n; a1'lonai Horse Fair in this place, and the

SHOCKING ACOIDENT-About noon to-day
THE l3th) James Reditt, brakesman on a
freight train on the c. R. l. s P railroad,
was pulling pin to uncouple car at Oak
ley Station, when he fell through a cattle
guard at the switch and one or two cars
passed over both legs above the knee. One
hand was also considerably crushed. He
was brought to this city and carried to the
Union House, and Drs. Farrell, Truesdale
and other called. Amputation will probably
be necessary, and even then it is hardly
probable he can survive.
His age is about Is years, is single man,
and his home is in Canada. He had only
been two or three months in tile employ OF
the company, and was running on Fred NJ.

A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE

DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach.a and paraiyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three boxes
of his matchless salye.
DIR. MaggiePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples Threats. One of Maggiel's Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact MaggiePs Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for

plan of Mr. Burial and others Of organic
ing new county agricultural society
Messrs Burial and Negas then proposed, If
the people of this county WOULD get up
stock company, they would lease the com
pany So acres of their ground, for 10 years,
at an annual remit of s35e,----with privi-i
! lege of purchasing, any time within years,
at sl25, an::acre. This was a liberal offer,
and paper was immediately started for sub
scriptions to the stock, providing for capi-
sal of sic, 900 and that when one-half of this
sum was raised a meeting should be called
to organize the company and commence
work.
Over one-half of the necessary sum has
been secured, and the stockholders meet to-
morrow Friday evening at the city council
room to organize and get ready to commence
the necessary improvements. ssg
We may therefore, regard the matter
success. The subscribers to the stock are
among our best men, scattered about the
county, but will all be notified in time to
attend the meeting.
1t is proposed to follow the plan adopted
by Scott county, and, in our judgment, the
plan which will make the society success,
viz: stock company with open competition
to all people, no matter who they are or
where they reside. Liberal premiums viii
be offered, and the company ofiicered and
managed by men in whom the public will
have entire confidence. If the company re-
alize profit, it will be divided among the
stockholders-if they suffer loss they won't
ask the public to make it good-they will
try, with the aid of the people all over this
and adj joining counties, to make it "a big
thing" and we have no doubt will do so.-
Nor have we any doubt but the stock viii be
better investment than government bonds.
We understand that the Scott county stock
is now worth 200 cents on the dollar, and we
see no reason why this company should not
be even better-for in natural advantages
our county is far ahead of the other side.
We presume, also, that the company will
try and get the fair grounds ready in time to
lease them for the National Horse Fair-we
hope so, at least
The society, If properly encouraged, will
be benefit to farmers. mechanics, and all
classes of people, and should be encouraged
by all There is still chance to secure
stock, but it will all be taken very soon.
