quite success, and the managers feel
encouraged, and trust that next year
there will be still greater interest taken
in it. The attendance throughout was
good. A great many doubtless came
for the purpose of seeing "the man go
up in a balloon" Prof. Seacrist of
Wooster, was hired to make trip in his
balloon from the Fair Grounds and was
to have received three hundred dollars
for it. The balloon created quite SEN
sation during the two days, while get
ting ready for the ascent. When the
time came for going up, it was found
that there was not enough gas in the
balloon to take man up. Several boys
were sent up one at time, to the height
Of one or two hundred feet, and then
pulled back again by the rope. 1t was
then let up to the height of five hun
dred feet without any one in it, after
which it was taken down and the gas
discharged. Great dissatisfaction ex-
listed among the people on account of
the failure. many believing that he did
not want to go up and did not intend to
from the first, and made the excuse that
the gas was poor and did not have
enough of it. Whether this be the truth
of the matter or not We don't pretend
to saw. Mr. Seacrist has been uD three
times and has made rs many failures.
This, he claims, is nothing more than
all balloonists do. Failures win some
times occur in spite of everything. But
there is one thing certain, the people of
the county have seen a genuine balloon,
know how it operates, have seen it go
up, and know just as much about it, as
though a man had cut loose, sailed out
of sight, and risked his life in getting
back to earth again.

The Iron King,

The Worries Bros. made fine show
at the Fair last week of stoves, tinware,
pumps and many other things which
they deal in. Their sIron King" is the
champion stove and is built especially
for burning soft coal, the kind we have
in this county. Mr., Welhouse, the pat
entee, was at the Fair and took delight
in showing the people the beauties and
conveniences of the stove It is un-
doubtedly the best stove in the market.
Their Pumps are also the best the mar
ket affords all grade and sizes, ,,ot

Piles of grain of all kinds were good,
and quite a variety of them. In the
department of Mechanic Arts, Farm
Implements, &C., there was a good
showing. Several Reapers and Mowers
were on exhibition, among which the
Sprague Mower was much admired, and
which carried off the premium. Mr.. J..
C. Duncan is the agent for this machine
in Holmes county. James Brothers, of
Fredericksburg, had some fine machin-
cry from the shops of Russell &c Co.
which are standard machines. There
were others OH exhibition but we can
not name them.
Mechanics Hall was well filled.
Among the many things we noticed the
stoves, pumps, driers, &C., of Voorhes
Bros, and M. Shoup. These all were
much admired and closely examined.
The Furniture of S. Close was fine and
attracted much attention. We must not
forget to mention that our Shoemakers
F. Seal and Frank Froelich had on ex-
hibition fine lot of Boots and Shoes.
The exhibition of stock was not so
large as we had thought it would be.
There were few entries of fine hogs.
Robert Thome of Nashville exhibited
one hog two years old, that measured
eight feet and nine inches in length,
and measures six feet and ten inches
around the kidneys. He was not fat,
but weighed seven hundred pounds.
We noticed a fine steer entered by James
Uhl. He was quite large. Samuel Cut
ter of Holmesyille, had ON exhibition a
very large, fine bull. Birds yoke of
oxen made fine show. The rest of the
stock were not so fine, although there
were some handsome cows, sheep and
hogs. There were some fine horses in
attendance, but We are confident that
there are many excellent horses in the
county that We're not on exhibition.
