mers in tie rich agricultural districts of North
cumberland county cannot be excelled in raising
products of superior quality, which they will
feel pride in exhibiting to the thousands who
will attend the fair. Now is the time to prepare
articles for exhibition, and as the display is in
tended to excel all former efforts, every family
should prepare something, thus it can be made
to surpass any fair in the State. Northumber-
land county has the material within her bounds to
! do it, let her yeomanry come forward.
