The CHAMPION BALE-E Edgecombe, Wake
and Mecklenburg counties, each intend to
send a ''champion bale of cotton to the
State Fair, and each says it will carry off
the premium. What say the planters of

STATE FAIR. AS the timo for the Fair
approaches the evidences of fine exhibit
tlOll OF f1tOcA, agricultural IrOuuctS, Mill
ufacturers &c. increase. The Secre tary is
receiving by every mail letters containing
lists Of articles to be entered, We predict
large conconrse of visitors from all parts oe
the State, and our prediction is based up
on the expressed purpose of members to
be present. All our citizens, whose homes
will not be filled with friends, should re-
ceive visitors for compensation. If we
hope to have our State Fair succeed this
year, and in future years, the good peo-
pie of Raleigh must interest themselves to
provide accommodations for those who
come from distance; the assurance
that all who might come would find place
to sleep would in itself do much to increase
the number of visitors. Uncertainty on
this point must keep many away, and the
experience Of those who come to this Fair,
will have an effect upon the attendance at
future Fairs.
We learn that the Executive Committee
are canvassing the city to ascertain who
will accommodate visitors, and that they
propose to keep list of such persons at
the Office of the Society, (second story
Holleman's new building, near the market.)
for the convenience of visitors.
