The Premium List.

By reference to the Premium
List of the Fourth Annual Fair of
the Abbeville Agricultural Society,
it will be seen that the Board of
Directors are sparing no efforts to
stimulate the zeal Of exhibitors by
a varied array of prizes in every de-
partment of industry. They would
call attention especially to their
list of premiums offered in, the new
department of summer fruits. Ex-
hibitors in the department are re-
quested to forward their contribu-
tions to the ad interim Committo
in the proper season.
We trust that the publication of
the Premium List will induce our
people, one and all-those who
have already exhibited and those
who have MOTTO enter the list of
competitors. We feel persuaded
that they will attend the Fair as
spectators, at least, and whv should
they not come as exhibitors? In
some one department they may
bear of the prize, and have not
merely the pleasure of beirg ahead
of their neighbors, but Of possess
ing some cherished memorial of the
fact. Our Society is now an as
sured success, and with each year
presents new claims to the public
favor. It is under the control of
efficient officers, who have no other
end in view than to give satisfac-
ton 70 the public, and to promote
the real interests of the society,"
Hence we may expect that in the
appointment of committees that
every interest will be represented,
and tha: in the awarding of premi-
ums the utmost impartiality will be
exercised: Let our people, then,
cooperate with the Board Of Di-
reotors in every effort to make the
next Annual Fair great success.

I thought you would not object to be-
ing kept posted in some District matters
and write you - 81. "
On last Monday afternoon, the 18th,
one ofou citizens met with serious mis-
fortune, in having his dwelling and its
contents entirely consumed by fire. Mr..
William G. Robinson, q very worthy
young man, was the unfortunate person.
He lives near DR.. J. w. Hearst. The
fire was purely aceidental-it was first
discovered about 2o'clock P. M. Mr..
r. was in the field at work, his wife was
in the kitchen attending to some domes-
tic matters. The, dwelling is supposed
to have caught from the kitchen chim-
ney as there was large FIRE on in there.
Mr.. R.. lost everything. even his papers
and about $4,000 in money. Mr.. r.
and his neighbors came to the house
and saved his provisions, corn, bacon, &c.
The 'neighbors went to work next day
and commenced putting up q log cabin
for Mr.. R. and he and his family are in
it now. They have also made donations
to him of various household goods for
which he is. very thankful. Mr.. r.
was badly wounded during our late war,
came home after the surrender, and by
hard work had accumulated around him
everything to make home comfortable.
He has the sympathies of the whole
community. .... .aHl J

ours to us, In view of the present state OF par
