TILE Sil lCli Of EHsOf ANAs-NsiN-
The third day Of the Fair, in every re-
spcci. surpassed the most sauguine eXpoc-
t,tions- sab display Of hogs, cattle
aud hur.rs was never before seen in the
STATE. Gcntlemen who have attended most
Of the Fairs in the state, say that this sur
passes my they nave seen. The crowd yes
terdsy was absolutely immense, aggregat
ing about ,evcn or eight thousand. Every
ring was well filed and stoutly contested,
and the music Of the Silver Cornet Band
was beyond all praise. lndeed, it is worth
the money just to hear our band, and espe-
cialy when assisted as they were yester-
day, by the beautiful. Gilbert siSters.''-
The al lrcss Of Professor Turner was sound,
practical and lcarncd-just such a one as
our people should hear and ponder-full Of
ideas AMI advice that the whole country
might profit by weighing and following.
TIE HALLS.
We took walk through the various Ex-
position Halls, and were perfectly charme
with what we saw Mr.. t. b. Trezevant,
General Superintendent, kindly showed us
through, and Tor the Life Of US we could net
tell where to liuger longest
HoUsEwIBERY DEPARTMENT.
In this department we saw bees making
honey, fruits fine as those of the Hesper-
ides, butter, rich as gold, preserves too
sweet-looking TO talk about, jelly that
would make one hungry to look at, home
made wines that made us tnInk lovingly Of
" brother Joseph" crystalizcd fruits which |
to be appreciated must be seen; aud in fact |
an endless variety Of good things. such as
poor "locals' often dro9m OF but seldom cx-
perience.
PAINTINGS.
The most perfect and suggestive paint |
ings, considering that they are the work of
amateurs, we ever saw ornament Floral |
Hall. Winter, sprlag, summer and Fall |
scenes, chromos, portraits, crayons, rural
and landscape paintings, IN endless aud |
charming variety, attract and delight the |
eye.
TEXTILE FABRICS.
Al no Fair anywhere has there been so
fine a display OF textile fabrics as those now |
on exhibition in Floral Hall. The show
embraces beautiful crotchet and needle |
work, homemade cloth aud blankets, che |
nile work. embroidery, thread flOss work, |
CHINA lace. (anI a machine for making the |
same, invented in this county,. ladies tail
orins. socks made of white rabbits fur
home.mnde carpets. and in fact everything |
to please the visitor, and excite astonish-
ment as to the industrial ingenuity OF our |
people.
FLOWERS AND KvERGREESs.

beauty. gemmed by flowers aud eyersreens |
uiat reeally the sweet memory Of Summer
aSd the delightful zepgers OF the tropics
Ths only RlIbeer Tree in the State is on

all Rubber goods are made.
MECHANICAL DEPARrM ENT.
This department makes a splendid dis
play. Clrriqge4, buggies, wagons, etc, on

Exhibition. Also, agricultural machinery

numerous to mention, but all OF which can
DE Duplicated by r. II. Anderson Il Co. We
must, hOweyer, make special mention Of the
display Of Remington 4 Sons, OF New York,
in the way Of pistols and guns. Mr.. A. J.
Afford, theiragent, showed US through this
DEPARTMENT. We found gold and silver
mounted pistols, the finest breech-loading
rifles and shot-guus in the world. In truth
the display Of Remington 81 Sons beggars
description. And
COLLINS,
the great china and queensware man OF
Jackson, should not be overlooked. His
gothic structure of china, queens and glass
ware, is striking and beautiful. 1t cannot
he surpassed anywhere, and friend Collins
deserves unbounded praise for his taste and
enterprise.
HORTICULTURAL.
The agricultural products of every yari-
ETY., heaped up in the horticultural depart
ment. is truly astonishing There are
fOur sweet potatoes ON exhibition that
weigh fifty -four pounds, and this will give
a fair idea of other attractions. There is
also very fine display OF poultry, and in
fact everything embraced in the scope of
a frst-class Fair.
The general verdict is that the jackson
Fair surpasses any ever seen in the State,
and is giving general satisfaction both to
exhibitors and visitors.

the bibulous little wretch drink half doz-
