this State, and she can also boast of rs fine
set Of people to take cnrc of it rs this

We took llasty walk through the
grounds on Wednesday last, and were
rleasingly struck with the grand appear
ancc Of everything. The first real nice
sight that our eyes fcastcd upon was the
entry of the band wagon, followed by "A
t4undrtn Of knights. AT 10 o'clock the
riding commenced, and it was good. The
gallant riders displayed remarkable skillin

watched witt, love the flying form (ovcr The
tlact) of her Irarc ideal one. Hearts beat
quick and fast during the Tournament.
Mr.. J. G. Vosc directed the affair, and well
did he ncqnit himself. Mr.. Sally got the
first prize and crowned the lady which was
the most worthy.
The fact of it is, the Tournament was u
s1i,ndii succrss. Never did we sec better

In The Fair building could be seen some
thing Of everything. The place was grnced
with the chaste and modest matrons and
daughters Of Orangcburg County and the
handi work of themselves. OF course all
that shines is not gold, but we think that
the Target portion of the people Mt the Fair
were made Of the rurcst material. And rs
to the articl es On exhibition nothing else
could he suid but Tint they evidenced the
industry, taste and. zeal of the people who
make up our home.
We saw fine bugey-a good buggy-ma'se
ty n man who never learnt the trade.
And we anw many other things of beauty
hut the limit our space prevents us from
giving n full and free account Of the sue
ytss of Ornngehurg's good citizens. We
will do so next week.
