in the hearts of the brave men who fol- |
lowed his lead so long and so faithfully.
Game Fear Agricultural Association.
The Premium List of the Fourth Annual
Fair of the Cape Fear Agricultural AsSo-
citation has Just been issued and Will De
distributed at once. 1t embraces almost
every department of industry, and Is as
liberal as the resources of the Association
will permit.
The premium list for Field Crops is es-
pecially liberal and attractive, and as 1t was
issued early in the Spring and very extern
siyely circulated, if it should not attract
lively and Jealous competition among our
planters and farmers, it will be owing to an
Indifference and a want ofpride which will
not speak we'll for the agricultural interests
of this section. We do not, however, ap-
prehend any apathy. We hope and be
lieve that the display Of agricultural
products at the next Fair, which at
least is the foundation Of the future sue
cess and permanent wealth Of this county,
and to encourage which moro than any
thing else is the primary object OF the AS
ISOLATION, will be a good index of the re-
sources, both of soil and climate, OF this
immediate section.
The inducement in the departments OF
Mechanics, of Stock, of Household Mat
ters and of Arts, are many and attractive.
None has been sighted, and there is no
reason why all should not be filled with
meritorous competitors.
In addition to the regular Premiums Of
fored by the Association, large, varied
and valuable list of Special Premiums are
to be competed for. In the Agricultural
department the NAvAssA GUANO Com
PANY of this city offer twenty-five hun
dred pounds Of their Fertilizers as Pre-
miums. The CAROLINA FERTILIZER

Agents, DEROssET 81 Co., Of this city, Of

partment. Messrs. WICK Il MEBANE,

cheesemakers.
We have thus particularized, at some
length, to aid the Association in giving all
the publicity we can to their noble enter
prise, and to the liberality Of the gentle
men who have assisted it, 1t will be the
endeavor of the proper officer TO give as
general distribution to the Premium List
as possible, and we hope all into whose
hands it will be placed, will do all they can
to make the Fair a success.
The Grounds and Buildings Of the Asso-
citation are now undergoing thorough
preparation, and the entertainment, as
well as the interest of the patrons, will
be attended to. In due season all will be
prepared, and if the Fourth Annual Fair
of the Cape Fear Agricultural Association
is not the most successful yet held, it will |
not be from any fault or short-coming of
those who have temporary charge of its des-
TIMES.
