The Coming Fair.

again has she added luster to her
former brightness and taken posi-
ton still higher among the distin-
guished counties of our noble State.
Every step she takes is but one in
greafness. Every effort she puts
orth eliminates in success, and the
most splendid results follow. Her
anne is not confined to State limits I
but is rapidly hefaFied throughout (
he North, South, East and Vest
ilorious things are said of her, and /
favorable mention made Of the men /
born in her borders.
Three Of her distinguished sons /
two from one househoId-have |
been called 10 ill the Gubernato-
rial chair of our proud State; the
wisdom Of several OF her sons has
contributed to the councils of the
nation, and augmented the splendor
Of foreign courts. Her talented
Bar, several of whom take rank
among the ablest lawyers of the
country, presents an array of talent
and genius, the splendor of which
attracts the attention of the pro-
fession throughout the land. Her
merchants and farmers are not only
we'll skilled in their business, but
are proverbial for their courtesy
and hospitality. Her young men,
many of whom are graduating each
year, with the highest honors, and
upon whom the future destiny of
the county must depend. Her
press, the greatest channel through
which knowledge flows to the peo-
pie, elevating them to high stand
ard Of morality and intelligence.
Her mechanics and laborers, hardy
sons of toll and the true basis of
country's greatness. Her physi-
clans, clothed with the mantle of
Esculapius, going forth upon their
errands of mercy. Her manufac-
tories, contributing their large
share to the general prosperity
Her various branches of industry,
the intelligence and hospitality of
her people, her splendid water pow
er, magnificent forests, fertile lanes
salubrious climate, boiling springs,
flowing streams, grand scenery, all
unite to entitle her to her present
proud and distinguished position.
And now, sir, the grand distin-
gushing feature of Giles county
has yet to be presented-her gZOri-
Gus daughters. 1t doesnot seem fit
to mention woman in the same
sentence with either of the fore
going attractive features of our
county, because she is the author OF
them all; the polcer behind the
throne, and from her influence all
greatness springs. All hail fair
daughters of Giles; with the most
profound reverence, we greet you;
to You who plan, execute and
achieve all things pertaining to
| goodness and greatness, we most
respectfully acknowledge suprema-
cy. The success of the past Elk
position is yours; all the successes
of the county aIe yours; therefore
we ask you to still elevate our coun-
ty in the scale of greatness by be-
coming interested in the Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical Fair to be held
here in October next. We regret
to tax you with this, but we can dc
nothing without your aid; you alone
can make it n success; you alone
can give it finish and cast that
will stamp it with triumph. In the
Floral Hall will be found a fine OPP
portunity for a display of the eIe
giant taste that is so peculiarly youi
own. We men are duh creatures
we have to he continually reminded
of our duties and encouraged II
the performance of them, and i
you, ladies, will get in earnest anC
remind the gentlemen often that i
is their duty to propose something
for the coming Fair you will have
the proud satisfaction Of seeing tn,
finest Fair ever held in this State
Your past success will induce {
larger attendance than was eve
seen here, and expectation will b.
higher than it ever was, and l hop
= and confidently believe that, how
ever, high public expectation ma.
be, it will be exceeded by your ct
forts. Think of these things, Ia
dies Of Giles county, for upon you
exertiOns alone depends success.
