are known and read of all men, inso-
much that if public opinion approaches
uNANMIrY upon any one point it is up
on this-that these drinking houses are
an affiiction and curse to every COM
munity in which they are tolerated, and
so they are simply NUIsANCES to be

GfN4I.E>fEN At a meeting Of tho
Hoard of Control Of the Planters,
Manufacturers and Mechanics Associ-
alton of the State of Mississippi, held
on the 18th Of June last, the under
signed were appointed committee to
solicit the corporation Of your honor
able body in making the Annual State
Fairs what they should bea faithful
exhibition Of the products and indus
tries of the State Of Mississippi.
The Sixth Annual Exhibition will
be held in jackson during the last
week in October, commencing on the
26th and ending on the 31st. We
have already reason to believe, that in
general interest it will be at least equal
to any former exhibition. In the dis
play Of agricultural implements and
machinery, we have the assurance that
it will surpass any former effort But
we are anxious to secure creditable
exhibition of the varied products Of
the State, and, therefore, appeal to
your honorable body to recommend to
your Subordinate Oranges, and the in
dividual members thereof, to contrib
ute, as far as practicable, to the dis
play in the several departments of the
approaching Fair.
An effectual mode of cooperation
would be for each Grange to offer one
or more premiums for the best dis
play contributed within it's territorial
Jurisdiction, and the State Fair Asso-
citation will provide suitable award
for the best Of all entries competing.
We feel authorized to state that
should the State Grange desire or
consent to participate in the manage
ment of the State Fairs, that the
Board Of control of our Association
would hail such cooperation as a
guarantee Of future success, and would
be glad to confer with any committee
that your body may appoint, as to the
best means of carrying out the objects
of our incorporation, which are to
foster and encourage the agricultural,
ufacturing and mechanical inter-
ests of the State"

isting than attempting any untried
and unskilled agency to be created.
The present condition of the mar
kets of this country and Europe shoy
great degree of depression in the
cotton trade, Influenced by the belief
in Europe that the crop of. this season
will be 100000 bales, which has
been established by every kind Of
misrepresentation, propagated by in
terested parties at the North, but
more especially through the means Of
sham sales of futures in New York, at
prices fronii159 to 16c through the
months from September to January
(Which would make the home price
about 12ac). The fixing Of the price
of onr product in advance by Wall
street capitalists indicates another at
tempt to plunder the producers by
taking advantage of their necessity to
sell, so as to enable them to meet their
obligations for the current year.
To defeat such forced sales Us this
action on the part of the bears contem-
plates, it is only necessary to ship the
cotton to Liverpool direct, get the ad-
vance of three-fourths of the value,
and hold it until the shortness of the
crop is fully understood abroad, as we
know it to be here.
And in this connection it should be
understood that it costs less to hold
cotton there than in our ports, storage
and insurance being much less, and
none of the other charges higher.
Your committee has made an effort
to open a correspondence with the New
England manufacturers, looking to di-
rect trade between the plantation and
the factory, but found no responding
disposition evinced, and gave it up as
a hopeless case, either Of servility to,
or completely with, organized capital.
In conclusion, your committee, in
this connection, and as a matter in
their judgment Of vital Importance,
and of State pride, would most respect
fully and earnestly direct the attention
of the State Grange to the port Of
Pascagoula, as a port of entry where
ships now enter delivering foreign car.
goes and depart with the products Of
Mississippi.
Your committee regret that they
are not prepared with extensive de-
tails in this behalf, but could not CON
clude without referring to it.
