The Management Of Fairs.

The Rural San, the leading agricultural
journal of Tennessee, speaks as follows in re-
gard to agricultural fairs. We commend
its remarks to the attention of the directors of
our own agricultural society. The San says
Fairs have been kept up in England in
the same district for more than seventy years,
and are yet places of resort for the whole
country surrounding them. The reason is,
they are made the places oftraffic as well as of
pleasure. A farmer who has an article for
SALE comes with the expectation of finding
ready purchaser. The horse-racing feature,
too, has not been carried on to the same ex-
tent, and more attention given to the growth
and yield of crops. Take the premium lists
of any of our fairs and we shall find that
those things are most encouraged which,
from their nature, encourage themselves,
and Uice Uersa. Two dollars are offered, for
instance, as premium for the best bushel OF
corn, and one hundred or five hundred OF even
one thousand dollars given for the fast-trot-
ting horse Now, it is good thing to have n
good trotting horse, but one hundred people
raise bushel of potatoes where one raises a
great trotter, and if the large premiums are
given TOR the trotter and small ones for the po-
tatocs, the one hundred who raise the latter
lose all interest in the fair while only one feels
an increased interest therein. To have good
fairs inducements must be held out so as to Sc
cure good attendance and interest the great
est number. Without this, the most imperial
trotters can not redeem them from poverty.

hospitable home of young Mccormick, he
fell in love with sister of the latter, beau
liful and accomplished young lady, whom he
married in 1869. In short time Mrs Rags
dale died, and the Lieut.. never married again.
Last Fall Lieut.. Ragsdale, who was then
on duty in the Pacific Squadron, obtained n
furlough, on account of health, and came to
Bel Air. He remained here until the Cuban
troubles broke out, when he applied for or
ders, and was assigned for duty on the U. s.
Steamer Colorado. His health still being
bad, he was again granted a furlough, when
he returned once moro to his adopted home
here, where he remained until his death. His
body was buried ut Rock Spring Cemetery,
on Thursday. During his last illness he WAS
faithfully attended b. the family Of Miss Fra
ser, also by Drs. Lee aud Scott, the latter of
whom nursed him with all the affection and
solicitudc of an atfcctionatc brother. His
mother sisters and brother are sill living

THE Subtitle thirty-seventh anniversa-

18th of May. From its inception in 1887 .toe
the present time this bright luminary rag
steadily grown in importance and usefulness,
until now it stands in the front rank of relia-
bic journals of the country. The contrast
between the little sheet it first laid before the
public, and its neat and compact pages of to-
day, is very striking but even in its initial
number the evidences of permanence and
usefulness were abundanlly manifest. We
hope its bright rays may spread wider and
wider, with each successive birthday, and
that The Sun "that shines for ALL may never
be cclipsed by rival.

them stimulus to production. Let the
largest premiums be offered for the best five
acres of corn, or cotton, or tobacco, or wheat,
because every farmer raises one or more of
these crops, and al will feel an interest in
competing for them. In this way new en-.

REPORT
OF THE
GRAND JURY.
ON TI{E
Condition of the Jail
MAY TERM, 1874.
MAY TERM, 1874.

To tie Hon. james ID. Waters,
Judge cfhe Circuit C0urr fer Hdito,d Co
In compliance with the requirements of
law, the Grand Jury visited and inspected
the building commonly known as the Jail,
and found incarcerated therein, prisoners
five white and three colored, all males
committed on the charge of larceny, three
for breach of the peace, and one confined per
sentence of the Court. The building seems
sadly deficient in light and ventilation, and
and the health, comfort and safe-keeping
ofthe prisoners would call for prompt action
from the proper authorities, to remedy the
evil; but as your attention has been called
to the condition of the building by former
reports, we'do not think it now calls for ex-
tended remarks.
Under the management of our efficient
Sheriff the cells and also the apparel of the
prisoners was clearly and in as good order
as the limited conveniences of the prison
would allow. The jury was in session six
days, and examined 55 witnesses, and found
six true bills. ax
All of which is respectfully Submitted.
