ARricuItural Matters.

In a little more than one MONT to-
wit: August 20, 81, % and %, the
Fifth Annual Exhibition of the
Wapello County Agricultural Society, |
will be held at the grounds of the OF
tumwa Driving Park Association, near
this City. 1t is the fifth exhibition
since the reorganization Of the socie-
ty, but we presume Wapello county
has given some twelve or fifteen exhi-
billions, first and last of this character
and some of them in numbers attend
ing, and articles exhibited approximate
ing to pretty respectable State Fair.
We have recently issued handsome
printed premium list from this Office
which by this time ought to be in the
hands of most ofthe farmers of Wapello
County, by which it win be seen that
the Society offers unusual inducements
in the way Of liberal premiums We
also published the same entire and gra-
tuitously in last weeks COURIER.
The officers of the Society are among
our best agriculturists and business
men from our towns and townships,
and the utmost harmony Of action pre-
walls.
Wapello County in many respects
occupies the most favorable locality in
the State. 1t is Literally grid-ironed
with Railroads it is supplied with in
exhaustable quantities of coal of the
best quality; it has more and better
timber than any other County in the
State water and stone without limit
and of unsurpassed excellence, and
over and above all other considerations
has large amount Of superb agricnl-
tural land. The Railroads bring us
people to our towns for consumers oil
our surplus, and lively competi.
ton for our products which few other
? points enjoy.
i The County Fair brings face to face
all the people irrespective of age sex OF
calling. The contact devclopes ant
evolves ideas which are of great valu
to all. II affords the hard worke,
, farmer and his family much needle,
season of recreation, not to mentio
! the great amount of interesting an
. practical information desired.
And now let us appeal to all tn
people Of Wapello County, who III
interested in It's development, resoul

The world has turn'd shopkeeper-go, sell, sell;
Put on yourself costly price, to sell:
Real cash-customers buy no cheap goods.
The mob has now got hold the money-bags,
And skilful judges of corn, pork and cabbage
Do judge men by their arrogance and haihe'
Assume lofty air and sounding ttle-..
The barefaced fools outnumber and outshout
The men of sense aud solid worth and thought.
The gilded chisell'd vessels that encase
Most stupid, sour, and unwholesome wines
Al once are pluck'd at by the money-mOb,
The while the plain but precious bottled liquor
Accumulates the dust of generations.
Go buy and sell. Get gold. A golden lever
Moves more than Ger the Syracusan might
Deceit brings wealth, wealth buys the bubble fame
Fame lulls the fever of the soul and makes
Us feel that we have grasp'd an immortality.
