/, j. 1t is a matter of congratulation that
fsom the opening to the close of the Six
teenth Annual exhibition of the Franklin
County Agricultural Society, there has
been manifested on the part of all con-
cerned in its management, a fixed deter
naination;to make it an unequivocal suecess
in all its departments. We feel that it is
but due to the officers of the Fair to pre-
sent their names Ito the public in
honorable mention, and while so
doing we desire to be enrolled amongst
the thousands of the people of
our county who attribute the marked sue
cess of the exhibition, mainly to the un-
firing efforts of the controlling and direct
I ig forces of the board of officers. Presi-
dent B. F. Rees, and Vice President G. S.
Innis, had a general superintency of the
entire exhibition. Mechanics Hall, d.,
rected by N s Vincent; Ladies' Domestic
Hall, by A c Headley and Elon Dryer;
Floral and Fine Art Hall, by DIR c P Lam
don and Geo D Freeman; Fruit Hall. by
X Lowe; Vegetables and Grain, by in
Peters and H Ridenour; Horses, by A w
Dolson, VIM Mcdonald and d S Elliott;
cattle, by NJ Seymour and OBJ Renick;
and hogs, sheep and poultry, by VIM W
Williams and EEw Pegg, each gave unmis-
taxable evidence of being under the direct
guidance of gentlemen of Intelligence and
experience, who devoted time, labor, and
means to the Accomplishments of great
purpose. which will live in the memory of
our people for years to come. Nor do we
forget the good offices of the assistants in
the various departments, they too gave
material aid, and'they too are entitled to
full needs of praise. Secretary c S Glenny
Treasurer, Judge j M Pugh. and Colonel
Horace Park (Marshal) complete the list
OF off ,ers, and to each and all of them, we
hereby tender our thanks for courtesies
shown during the progress of the Fair.
To chief B. McCabe and his vigilant.force
of police is due the credit of maintaining
the best of, order, among the thousands of
visitors to the ground. Not single depar-
ture from good order was observed during
the entire exhibition, which was the sub
ject OF general remark among all classes.
The immense thropg of visitors to the
grounds on Thursday, which was quite an
unpleasant day, led to the belief that the
closing day would be marked by a very
slim attendance. The lastday however, was
even more subject of remark, by reason
of the vast numbers present, than its pre-
decessor. From early morning away into
the afternoon, indeed fol two hours after
the exhibition was declared closed from
the-J Judges stand on the track, were lines
of carriages and wagons seen approaching
the grounds Z The sale of tickets amount
ed to over 500. Nothing of the kind has
ever before been observed in the history of
the Society. and most cheering are the
prospects for aTepetition of like results at
the next annual exhibition. The people
have seen for themselves what it is to
enter into the proper spirit of the Society,
and so marvelously have results surpassed
themselves that settled determination
exists, not only to maintain the footing al
ready gained, but to make future exhibi-
tions even more attractive than that which
has just closed. So let it be. L1 i0o s2ni15 4
We found on making our "grand
rounds" yesterday, that exhibitors had. in
general, been informed concerning the ac-

were almost wholly engrossed with the at
fractions of the race course Speaking of tie
awarding judges reminds US that

Co., of lis East Town street, next to the
market house. The judges, in passing on
the fine display of Mcssrs. p, b. d Co,
took into account the very thorough man.
ner in which every department OF the busi-
ness was finished, and finding each unsur-
passed, made the award accordingly.
