The COnnIY Ealr

On Monday, October q, the Memphis
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
will inaugurate their fourth annual fair
with the most hattering prospects Of
success. The directors and secretary
have worked with commendable zeal and
enterprise, and everything has been sys-
tematized, so that exhibitors will have
no trouble whatever in entering their
articles and having them as well taken
care of as if under their own charge.
Such eminent merchants as Colonel r.
A. Pinson, John Lewis, W. S. South
worth and Captain George Dashiell have
kindly volunteered their services during
the week, and will have exclusive charge
of the halls during the fair; under their
direction and supervision, aud in their
keeping, it will be simply impossible for
anything but order, good management
and safety. The grounds have been i'm
proved, lastly laid off, and are now be-
ing ornamented with magnolia flowers
and evergreens by Mr.. Stewart, OF -
nursery. Four handsome booths have
been built, which will be used as restau-
rants by the ladies of the Central Bap-
fist and Alabama street Presbyterian
churches, and of the Church Home and
Leath Orphan asylums. The most
splendid stalls for cattle and pens for
hogs have been made; also, house for
poultry and birds, which is not excelled
in point of convenience by anything of
the kind in this country, and which will
be in charge of Mr.. J. P, Boughner, who
assures us that his exhibition from the
warbling canary to the stately swan will
be such one as Barnum would envy. He
now has all varieties of chickens, ducks,
geese, pigeons and birds, and will to-
morrow receive large shipment from
Ohio and Indiana The Fair will be
worth visiting, and the enterprise ex-
hibited in its behalf merit the support
encouragement aud patronage of all
classes of our citizens, without which it
is impossible for it to attain that position
which will bring to it from all sections
in a spirit of worthy competitor the pro-
duets of our sister States, and in due
time make our fair to US what st. Louis
is to her.
The display of embroidery, crochet
work aud needle work Of all kinds, we
will venture the prediction, will excel
even St. Louis, andwe are grati6ed that
our Agricultural Society deemed the
handiwork of our fair sex worthy of en-
enlargement, and have offered appro-
pirate premiums, and have provided
glass showcases to prevent unnecessa-
rily its handling.
Let everybody attend the Fair during
the day and the Exposition at night and
let us make Memphis during next week
attractive and pleasant to our many Wis
itors.

air. without which no creature Could live, Is the
source Of diseases Of which millions die. Atthis
season, especially, the atmosphere is1ni oitne
germs OF many kinds Of sickness. Every glooule

matte poison.
The evil effects Of this 9rlal virus can only be
certainly averted by increasing the vital sctivitY

that H%oSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, 1.-THE great

months.
1t Is at this time. too, that Dyspepsia assumes
its most distressing types, and that persons OF BIZ

store their elasticity tonic treatment Ia absolutely
necessary.
All the world knows that the wonderful efcacy

A Gala Time.

This promises to be q merry week III
.Charleaton, and, under the influence OF Inc
attractions OF the Schutzenfest and the lib
eral reductions Of fares made by all the
South Carolina railroads, the city should be
throDged with visitors.
The schutzeniest begins this morning,
and will not, close until Friday. Large addl'
tons have been made to the accommoda'
tons at the Schutzenplatz, and the commit
Tee. with the experience OF preceding years
az q guide, intend that there shall be an un-
cessing round OF mirth and healthfnl Joliity.
The prizes to be shot for By the German
riflemen and their visitors. are exceedingly
handsome; and, altogether, we may count
upon having once more, under the direction
of the schutzen Gesellschait, an orderly and
enlivenipg festival of the whole people.
On Friday the Independent Order OF Odd
Fellows celebrate their ffty-third anniversary
at the Freundschaftsbund Hall. Addresses
win be delivered by General Wilmot g. BE-
saussure, DR.. J. Somers BUST and Mr.. A. G,
Magrath, Jr. The managing committee are
working, energetically, and will doubtless
make the celebration worthy OF the charita-
BILE order whose introduction into America
they commemorate.
Besides the Schutzeniest and the Odd Eel
lows Celebration, we have, during the week,
excursions up the picturesque Ashley, where
the spring flowers bloom in all their gor-
geoug beauty, and down the harbor to historic
Sumter, whose battered walls, preserved In
song and story, will be remembered With
pride to the latest generation OF those VINO
honor indomitahle courage and unfiagging
endurance. The walks and drives, In and
around the city, are especially charming in
this lovely 7ernal weather, and they who
now favor Charleston with a visit will ind
Fl, we venture TO say, one Of the %pleasantest
places in the South. 80.
!. There is one drawback. The Academy OF
Music, 80. far as we know, does not propose
to open,its doors this week; and the visiting
thousands will be denied what might have
been made a most interesting incident. OF
their trip. Timely notice is always given OF
the approach Of our annual festivals, and it
isia great pity that arrangements are not
made for having our: dainty little Theatre
occupied by a good operate or dramatic
company. We nave had, during the winter
and early spring, a number Of excellent per
1yrmanCes a5 n AcGuemy, Out they happen
to fall just when no unusual crowd Of travel.
lers Is brought to the city.

with reason, to mingie business with amuse-
mept, and we shall be sadly mistaken II this
week does not prove as profitable to the mer-
camille community as it will be entertaining
