On next Saturday, the Stock.

at the court house in the town of
Fayetteville, to devise II cans and
to solicit subscriptions, for the
purpose Of placing their Agricul-
raj and Mechanical Association on
an equal footing with any in the
State. Lincoln county has been
behind too long; she permits her
sister counties, who have not half
her wealth, to outstrip her, in all
improvements that look TO the flu.
ture welfare and prosperity of the
country.
Rutherford, Bedford, Maury
and Giles counties have Fair
Grounds and improvements there.
on, that do honor to the respet /.
tive counties. Why cannot Lin
coin county do as we'll? Our
people are amply able. to excel
them in improvements.
Shall our friends from neigh
boring counties, when they visit
our county Fair ridicule our Fair
Grounds and accommodations ?
Shall they continue to laugh at
our puerile and almost insight.
cant pretensionS Shall it still
be said of the good people Of
Lincoln county that they are able
to improve their Fair Grounds,
but they are too penaTioat8 and
too close, tistot2 to do SOP
1t is time our people should d.
wake-the pride of the county
should be aroused and stimulated
on the score CT Fair improvements
our people should not allow our
sister counties to throw dust in
iheir faces and leave us in the
iurch. Then let all of our PEG.
| pie who feel an interest in the ad-
vnncement of the Agricultural
and Mechanical interests. Cf our
county come out on next Satur-
day, and come ready and prepared
to do all in their power to raise
''old Lincoln from her unenvia-
bic position, and place her on an
equal footing with her sister coun-
ties. Capts. Burnam, Newman
and Col. Carrigan will deliver ad-
dresses on the occasion. Let ev.

Die We replied we could save
more IN the purchase of goods than
he could in printing, and that il
everybody should adopt the poll

supplies, the merchants occupa-

pended on their profits for sup

was any good in it, we would all
find it out aud adopt it, and they
would be compelled to seek o
livelihood at some other business.
