Are You Ready ?-0n Tuesday next
the Carroll County Agricultural Fair
begins, are your ready for it? Many
persons outside of the county have no.
tilted the Secretary, VIM, A. McKellip,
Esq, that they will have articles on
exhibition. Letters have been received
from several of the New England States,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, asking for room to be reserved
for machinery. These gentlemen we'll
know that it's front the county Fairs they
receive their customers, not from large
cities, where the chief attraction Is the
trottiug and racing; aud therefore have
decided to exhibit their machinery here.
A large plumber Of iiuc horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep, besides vast collection OF
farm machienery, from hoe up to a
steam threshing machine will be exhi.
bited. BY the by, this steam thresher
is one of the greatest inventions of the
age. 1t is said that 200 bushels Of
wheat eau be prepared for market per
day, at great saving OF labor aud ex-
pense. In the various other depart.
meats there will be great competition.
Nothing on the part Of the Directors
has been left undone to ensure four
days Of pleasure to the crowds of per.
sons who will be in attendance. From
the first our Fair has been considered
superior to any other in the State, not
even excepting the State Fair at Balti-
more, nnl what is of more Importance
to the contestants, has always paid the
premiums awarded, which is more than
some others have done who have made
big splurge with large fancy bills aud
extraordinary inducements, only gotten
up for the purpose of inducing persons
to compete in the several classes.
Let each citizen of our county extend
to the strangers from other portions Of
the Union who will be here, hearty
welcome; vie with each other in the
usual courtesies, and make all feel at
home.
AS announced last week the Prcsi.

also General sherman, COMMANDMENT
