Closing Day of the GreeneVille Fair.
GREENEvILLE, Oct. 3.
The last day of the Greene County Fair
was in every respect a success. The spe-
cial features of the day were the driving
and riding of horses, the address of Rev.
c. w. Charlton and the award of premi-
ums. The riding, both on the part of gen.
tlemen and ladies, was very good. The
ladies riding attracted great attention
and was exceedingly creditable. The
award of the committee was to Miss r. c.
Earnest though many good judges, as
spectators, were of the opinion that the
riding of Miss Broyles and Miss Johnson
was fully equal to Miss Earnest. No bad
feeling, however, was occasioned.
AWARDS IN THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
The ladies' department was we'll repre-
scented. In fact, Greeneville boasts OF some
of the handsomest ladies and best house
wives in all Tennessee. Among the awards
of interest in this branch Of the Exhibition
were the following:
Premium for butter to Mrs. d. L Patter
son, eX-President Johnson's daughter and
former chief lady at the White House.
Premium for canned fruit to Mrs. DIR.
Greene.
Premium for best patch quilt to Halle
Reeves; and TOR best made shirt, Mary
Reeves.
Best wax flowers, first premium to Mrs.
V. G.. Sewer.
Best ornamental flowers, to Mrs. Joel
Terrell.
OUR KNOXVILLE ESTABLISHMENTS
were not as well represented as they ought
to have been. There were from four to
five thousand people on the grounds dur
ing the fair, and our manufacturing es-
adjustments would have made fast friends
and done themselves good if they had
been there. We gave In our dispatch the
awards to those who were there.
THE ADDRESS:
of Mr.. Charlton, of our city, was good
one. He urged upon farmers the necessi-
ty of better education and preparation
for their work, and took strong grounds
in favor of immigration. The general
remark, when he concluded his half hour
talk, was 'he quit too soon." .... .....-
In concluding this notice Of the Fair, [
must return thanks to President Terrell,
Secretary Beeks, and the other officers of
the Fair, and the citizens of Greeneville,
for their attentions. say, without exag-
geration, that Greene county has reason to
be proud of the success of her Fair. The
most encouraging feature of it that we saw
was the cordial good ,UW on the part of
all citizens. 1t is true that, as is always the
case in such enterprises, the bulk of the
work was done 6y q feD, but then a gene
rat interest was clearly manifested, and
they have reason to hope for greater sue
cesses hereafter. r.
