MUCH interest is being manifested
throughout the accessible portions of our
own State, Kentucky and Georgia, in
the Fair to be held at Nashville, Oct. 8.
The time of holding the Fair is after al
most all the fairs of Tennessee and Ken
lucky, and the Directors have promise
of large accumulation of stock and
material from those sections, to contend
for their premiums. 1t will certainly
afford fine opportunity to see and pur-
chase fine stock, as they advertise to
have sales each day oft week.

year, and expected to get s cents per
pound for it. The quotations are now
about 81 so per cwt., not enough to pay
expenses, they say. We regret to learn
that Major N. F. Cheairs, who raised a
large crop of broom corn this year, lost
several tons by the wet weather.
