These are among the many pre-
miums offered by the city Of Macon,
and the State Agricultural Society,
aggregating in all more than $4,000
But it is not to the value of the pre-
miums that we look for rewards
The exhibition promises nobler re
suits than this. There will be {
great moral influence growing out o
| it. The political economist will
here find food for his thoughts. =
; The artisan will scan, with eagle
eye, the work Of his peers. Thu
thrifty farmer; the enterprisine
merchant the fowl fancier, anc
the stock importer; the horticultu
rist-all will be entertained, pleased
nd instructed. Here we will learr
where, in our own State, each ane
every article is produced, raised OF
manufactured. Our people viii
here be taught where in their owr
country, they may follow that pur
suit best suited to their interest anc
taste, without being forced to hum
homes among strangers, as is now
too often the case. Exhibitors from
| Upper Georgia will here find a
market for the ready sale of much,
if not all, of their perishable articles
at full, remunerative prices. In ad.
dition to all this, much general good
must necessarily grow out of these
annual reunions Of so many of the
| thinking and working men and wo.
men Of the country. The spirit o
State pride is famed into new life
by these meetings, and we forget al
it were our individual misfortunes il
rejoicing over our mutual success.
