PHF FAIR OF THE SEASON.
Great Meeting in jackson on
the 26th of October.
Unprecedented Preparations
and Encouragement

We feel fully JUSTIFIED in assuring the
public generally that the grandest display
Of stock and of agricultural and Meehani-
| cal industries ever made IN Tennessee, VII
be exhibited at the great Fair in this city
beginning October 18th. The fame Of past
/ successes have gone abroad in the land, and
| dOu lie the number OF States viii be repre-
sented In the exhibition this fall than ever
before. There will not be q deficient de-
department. Stock from the great stock
sections, machinery from the leading man
ufacturing centres, agricultural land horh-
cultural products from North, South, East
and West; textile fabrics, works Of art, and
evidences Of housekeeping skill from our
own homes and abroad, all in endless vari-
ETY. and abundance, will be exhibited on
this great occasion. We know of what we
speak, and speak adviEediy. The board OF
directors have redoubled their energies,
and have not spared their largely increased
capital in improving and ornamenting the
grounds, and are determined that the Ex-
hlbition this Fall shall place the West Ten.
nsssee Agricultural and Mechanical AssO-
citation in the front rank Of Southern Expo
sitions. Among the improvements made
upon the grounds this Summer we note the
following: Eularging stock yards, pond !
and stables, extending the amphltheatre |
q hundred and fifty feet at each wing |
and covering the whole in, the erec- |
ton Of elegant private rooms for ladies /
where they can retire to rest or re-arrange /
their toilets building Of q magnificent
power hall, With engine to run any reason
able amount or machinery; erection OF
new floral hall with q beautiful actagonA
tower In the center; laying out n walk
and drives, planting eyergTeens. etc. In
short, the improvements are extensiy..
substantial and well nigh complete. They
have been made under the direction o.
Capt. John Y. Keith, one Of the most enter
prising and useful Of our eitizens-one
who possesses the rare combination Of ge-
aius. decision, taste, and that holiness and
energy which carries out promptly the
OF sound, active mind.
We already feel that the success Of our
great Fair is assured. Everything Is en-
,ouraging, and If our home people will but
10 their duty. old Madison and jackson
will win yet greater fame and zreener lau-
els. Let every shoulder be placed to the
Wheel and all pull together. The first rank
Imong Southern Fairs should be ours, and
IAN be. Let us work to that end and work
With one mind.

A FEARFUL IMPRI5oNAGENT.-OnT Thurs
day evening last, old Squire Vauix, a well
known colOred man of this city while
cleaning out a well for Tomlinson, Howard
& Co., at their Livery Stable on Lafayette
street, was imprisoned for four hours BY
the caving in of the curbing and walls OF
the well. The eurbing from two sides OF
the well caught him midway. the body,
while other pieces formed kind of root
over his head, against which the eaving
DIRT pressed, holding him prisoner and
yet saving him from certain death. In this
imlnent peril he remained fer three or four
hours, and yet was rescued without serious
injuries. Whites as well as blacks dug
and otherwise worked to save him, and to
their efforts untiring-he owes his life.
A LIVE sToRE.-One Of the liyest stores
In jackson is kept by our friend James F.
Walsh, who is daily receiving choice lots
of goods in his line. His stock Of Prints
embraces the NEST beautiful patterns that
we have ever seen. His ready-made Cloth
ing has been selected with care by Mr..
Walsh in person-and he has had many
years experience in his business. Walsh
sells for Cash, and is content with n small
profit, He does his own work and does
not suffer the salaries of supernumery
clerks to intreneh upon his income. We,
therefore, speak adyise,lly, if you want new
goods, cheap goods, and rare goods, you
should call on J. F. Walsh, who is deter
mined not to be undersold IL the City of
Jackson.

IRISH EssIGRATIoN.-Adyiee from Ire
land show that there has been a steady de-
crease in emigration from that country TO
the United States during the past year. In
one sense We may rejoice at this Informs
ton, and in another we may regret it. We
are glad to find that the heavy hand OF
England has beeE removed, TO some extent,
so as to render the ''gem of the sea-, toler-
able to her warm hearted and generous
sons, and yet we can but regret that there
by we lose an infusion of good citizens,
who would contribute greatly to our ma
terial growth and social advancement
We owe much to the Irish who have come
in our midst. They have built miles OF
railway, and have stood by their adopted
home, especially in the South, with unfal
tering devotion. No brighter name shines
on the scroll Of fame than Pat Cleburne
and no Drawer spirit ever assembled up to
heaven from the ensanguined battlefield.
Jackson can beast among her best citizens
not few Irish gentlemen, who have con-
tributed their full quota to her public en-
teTprises and who have been lavish of their
private fortune to develop and beautify
ner resources. We can only wish that we
had more such men. They constitute the
wealth and glory of State.

Spring Pigs.

No stock on the farm is more inclined to
roam than the few weeks'ol pig, who finds
out the smallest crevice in the fence, and
break out into the fields, front yards, gar
dens, in squads, bent on mischief, and Civ
ing infinite trouble, and Oft times causing
considerable damage. Many farmers deem
IL the best course to let them roam think
ing thereby something is gained in the way
of food, and perhaps hardness. If We we're
breeding pigs for races, and wanted hard
muscles and tough nerves, this practice
would be commendable. But if sleek,
plump, contented porkers are the object,
then closer confinement is far better. Until
a pig is nearly or quite three months old,
be is better of it restricted to comforta-
BILE pen and yard. We say comfortable
enclosure, because that condition is GER
tainly quito essential to his health and
thrift. 1t should be dry, sheltered, aud not
too confined We venture to say that
litter of pigs thus confined will, when three
months old, weigh one quarter more than
If let run meantime, and in both cases they
shall have consumed the same food. BE.
sides, they will have more quiet DISPOSE
tions At this period, or when weaned, We
would let them in a clover lot, supplying
other food in abundance; and. il con-
venient, let them CLEAN the stubbles and
orchard after harvest Then they should
60 into the pen for final fattening If that is
to be their fate.-American Rural Home

How to Cateh AbseondIng Bees.


The idea was impaired to me by neigh
boring bee.keeper, who showed me two fine
swarms he had thus obtained during the past
summer propose to adopt the plan next
season, aud know that a great many of
your readers will, also, if they should chance
to read this, for it is sure thing and not
patented.
Should you enter tract Of woodland in
a Bookkeeping neighborhood, in the height
of the swarmiug season, you will observe
many bees searching closely around the
trunks of the larger trees. When they
find cavity suitable for habitation they
are ready to guide the new swarm to their
new home, if they succeed in getting away
from the apiary, and we know that many
do. Now, we want those swarms, and how
are we to get them ? Why, simply thus /;
Take a few old bee gums or box hives, nail
bottoms to them, have a few small holes in
the sides for entrances, and hang them up
in few of the large trees--and if an alb
sconding swarm enters the forest it is al
most sure to enter one Of your hives which
can be moved to your apiary at your leis-
ure.
Don't leave any large holes in your decoy
hive, if you do, squirrels are sure to enter
also. My neighbor overlooked this mat
ter, and found in some of the hives not only
a swarm Of bees, but also a nest of SPUR
rels, all living tremendously together

The Illinois State Board of Agriculture
has offered premium Of $500 for the best
five acres of timber to be planted this or
next year, and to be awarded eight years
hence, in 1881. Every competitor is to
give full account in writing of the num-
Der and variety of trees planted soil, pre-
paration, mode of culture, cost of the work,
distances apart, &c. Another premium OF
500 is offered for the best single acre.
Such premiums will no doubt greatly slim
ulate the work of tree planting, as many
will enter upon it who will not compete for
the premiums. Many man is content to
engage in such improvements because of
the good conferred upon himself and the
neighborhood who does not concern himself
about carrying off the premiums offered.
He is content to do tceH, even if he does
not actually do better than all others.
