horses, fine mules, cattle, &C., and agricultu-
raj products, are expected. The ladies also
are preparing to enter large numbers of arti.
oles in every department of household indus

chinery, agricultural Implements, buggles,

services of Muller's celebrated brass band OF
this city have been secured, and in addition
to playing on the fair grounds they will give a

creditable alike to the town and county. 1t

rably arranged for the purpose OF an exhibit

early next week. The enclosure WIN De maa
In the course Of week, and the trontng
track graded In ample time. Everything WILL
be In readiness for the opening OF the iair on

mers are preparing to lend interest to the oc-
casion By the exhibition of field crops; that
the ladies are preparing an abundant variety
for the household, domestic and fancy depart
ments, aud that every one who thinks there
Is any chance for q premium In any OF the de-
