I have thus briefly endeavored to present
this subject to your consideration, and hope
that at the proper time you will come forward
promptly and subscribe the amount asked for,
and put the enterprise on firm foundation.
We must not expend borrowed money. The
capital must be subscribed and paid up when
called for. If We borrow money, we will not
prosper. We do not intend to put up fne
snowy buildings. The machinery must be
protected and operative houses to live in, but
their style will be simple and extent only what
is necessary.
Thanking you for your kind attention, and
hoping that you will promptly subscribe the
AMOUNT asked for, I now give way to others
who will address you further on the same SUBJ

SIXTH ANNUAL FAIR-ANDERsoN.-W are

Association, Capt. JAS A.. Hoyt for copy OF
the Premium List of the Sixth Annual Fair of
this successful Society, to be held on the 29th,

to notice that in all the various departments,

hold, Manufacturers, Fancy, Fine art and
Floral, the premiums are not only valuable,
but cover the whole ground, and worthy OF the
Society. its officers, and the citizens who foster
it. judging by the premium list, and the sue
meeting promises well, and our sister County
and town has our earnest wishes IN so good
cause.
We cannot help here, once more expressing
surprise that in community SO enlightened,
so wealthy, so eminently agricultural as New
berry, that no steps have yet been taken to re-
vive our Agricultural Society. Surely it is not
dead beyond every hope of resuscitation. We
would be exceedingly loath to think so, and we
venture the suggestion, that now the farming
element of the County is being rapidly taken
up into Oranges, that the different divisions
agitate the matter and reason about the i'm
portance of it. How profitable and Interesting
an annual gathering Of all the Oranges would
be. Think of it-Ncwberry Herald.
