The CorroN STATES AGRICULTURAL
FAIR AT AUGUSTA. third annual
Fair of the Cotton States Mechanics
and Agricultural Fair Association will
commence next Tuesday at Augusta.
The Association commences its exposi-
tion this year under the most fattering
auspices. Under the difficulties which
attended the first years operations OF
The Association, it ran in debt; but last
summer, through the public spirit of the
City Council of Augusta and the citi-
zens, all this indebtedness was paid of,
and the Association is free and untran-
meled. The premium list is literally
and most skillfully arranged, and is col
culated to interest the representatives OF
every branch of Southern industry.
The gentlemen who have charge of the
affair have an experience of several
years; they have profited and have been
taught by the lessons of former exhibi.
tions. and have taken every precaution
to make the Fair complete success.
The manufacturer, the mechanic, the
planter, the raiser of horses, OF cattle,
of poultry, will find that everything has
been done to ensure their convenience,
and to give the articles which they may
enter an advantageous place. A lurge
crowd is expected to be present. and the
exhibitor could fnd no better field for
benefting himself md the public than
will be presented in that city. No one
need stay away for fear of insufficient
accommodations. The citizens will max Q
evory exertion to entertain suitably their
guests. and Augusta has plenty Of first
class hotels and boarding-honses. Let
no visitor who can go stay away. A
cordial invitation is extended to all, and
we are convinced that no one who goes
to Augusta will fail to have a pleasant
and instructive visit.
