and bachelors who were in attendance
upon the grounds. For our part, we are
free to confess that we fell in love with
the first brigbt-eyed girl we got close
enough to, and we continued in that fix
at different intervals till the exercises of
the day closed. At very low estimate,
we fell that delightful fall fourteen times
during the day.
The reason why the Summer county
bachelors are not all married, must be
either because they do not know female
loneliness when they see it, or else they
have such number and variety of pretty
girls to choose from that they cannot de-
eide which to take.
The interest in everything that was ex-
hibited was 30 general that it seems diff.
cult to particularize. Everything was
| surprisingly good, and in our opinion eve
/ rythIng we saw deserved q premium; but
OF course the judges knew their business
| also. E
Among the products of the field" the
corn which was exhibited ELECTED very
much attention, and seemed to astonish
every one. Both the yellow and white
corn were more than usually fine; it GER
tainly surpassed anything of the kind we
ever saw, and we heard men who were a
| great deal older ard who had seen great
| many more things than we had say that
they had never known anything like it
before. 1t most sssuredly gave evidence |
of the fact that whatever we may stand |
in need of in this section of country and |
whatever We may suffer for we shall GER
tainly have superintendent supply of |
corn of the best quality.
THE DISPLAY OF FLOWERS,
also, could not fail to attract the particu
lar attention of everybody that came in
thst direction. Their arrangement was
certainly more exquisite and tasteful than
one could have imagined possible. The
beautiful boquet which took the prsmi-
um, was presented by its fair maker to
Col w. s. Munday, the genial Secretary
of the Association, who seemed to ap- |
preciate the gift very highly, and to take
particular pride in guarding his treasure
from all molestation.
Mr.. Samuel Nicholson deserves to be
mentioned very commercially here for
having with little or no assistance impro-
vised 'tF2ordL Hat, +" which was really
an exquisite and dainty little piece of
workmanship.
