It will thus be seen that the Association
presents very solid induce ments to our
agriculturists. There is surely no room
for complaint and we expect a generous
response from them. The Fair is for the
farmers. and they must respond to the
consideration which has been shown them
by the managers OF the Association.
AS an adjunct to this department, it will
be seen by reference to the note of Presi-
dent FREMONT, published elsewhere, that
he has secured the first exhibition in the
Southern STATES of the celebrated English
ROAD STEAMER,
which will be in operation on The Grounds
of the Association during each day of the
Fair. There is nothing destined to exert
greater influence upon Agriculture than
this machine, and there is no country in
the world better adapted fer its use than
this immediate section of North and South
Caroline.
MACHINERY.
Arrangements will be provided to have
gins aud other agricultural machinery in
operation On the Grounds, enabling farm
ers to judge their practical merits.
