Too Late.

The way men put off important
matters to the last NONE TT is Que Of
the curious things in nature. The
fifth concert in aid of the Public
Library of Kentucky was advertised
TO take place July 81, The day
after, August !, Gov. Bramletre. the
manager, at Louisville, received over
$50 900 for tickets. Had the draw
ing taken place at the time the Gov
ernor would have had to send this
money back, but as the concert was
postponed to November so, it was all,
right with them. We presume that
on the first day OF December next,
the day after the concert, thousands
of dollars will be received, one day
too late, for there will be no further
postponement, This money might
just as well have been sent q week
before, as when it was.

THE FAIR.

We are temperate iii the use of
language, when we announce that
our Va. and Tenn. Border Feir
has been a success. Five thousand
people came and went away deligh-
ted. The weather was truly de-
lightful. go much SC, that no possio
BILE change could have improved it.
The ground was dry without being
dusty, the air bracing without be
ing cool, the sun bright, but not
oppressive. The display of blood
ed stock, was good, and in horses
and cattle it was large. OF agri-
cultural implements, the display
was principally of plows, but in
that it was good. The farm
products were highly creditnb!e to
the farmers, and the ladies depart-
ment was both superb and extern
sive, far surprising orr expecta-
tons. In paintings, drawings,
flowers, needle and ornamental
work, the display was of exceeding
interest. Messrs. Elan & Co.,
and Mr.. Lcwark had beautiful sets
of buggy harness. Mr.. Thos. john
ston of Bristol, was closely compe-
ted with for the finest saddle, but
his work was found to be so near
ly perfect, that he received two
fine premiums, and they confer
great credit upon him. MeSsrs.
Frost & Co., had a magnificent as
sortment of fine boots and shoes,
and Z. b. Harry had a pair of fine
boots which it was simply imrossi-
bic TO leave undecorated with the
lIue ribbon. Mr.. Picken had
throughout the Fair, an elegant ar
ray of jewelry and silver ware, and
on the third day Mr.. Doriot was
in the building with very large
display, and it was as elegant as ii
was varied. The Millinery depart-
ment was fine, Mrs. Galloway hav-
ing the lead, We were particularly
impressed with DIR. Hoffman's proli- |
fic corn each stalk having four well
developed ears. Mr.. G. II. Lewis
had some very superior goods from
his Bristol Wooden Mills, and

How to Raise More Fruits.

FRUITS should be raised in greater
abundance. AT present they are quite
too dear to permit them to be used very
freely, especially our home fruits. This
lack makes fruit diet almost as eXpen-
sivc as a meat diet, and when the two
hre united the expense is appalling
More fruit should be planted everywhere
Our city and village friends should hus-
band the little space they have in grapes,
pears, gooseberries, cherries and plums,
pr in whatever is most expensive, or to
which the soil is best adapted in any par
ocular locality. In no way can given
space be made to produce larger returns,
Ind many city lot so titled would re-
luce the grocers fruit bill to an insignifi-
fant ltem besides paying for itself in the
paving of doctors bills. Vines and es-
Pailers may be trained on the walls,
bushes border the sides, and trees stand
n the back end; while the low roofs, if
there are any, may be made to sustain
choice pumpkins and squashes evil
not say how much might be done on the
OPP OF the house, though that is more ia
Vorable for the culture of plants in pots,
which may be removed in winter.
SOILS adapted mostly to fruits must be
''tri aPPlctldtcu anu more cultivated,

faise grass and grain. The sandy lands

Illustration of what can be done in this
erection. Lands that until lately have
been almost worthless because they
wouldn't raise grass" are among the
pest producers of small fruits in the
country.
Fruit trees should be set out freely
along the roadside and in other places
low devoted to barren shade trees.
hoice kinds should be obtained and the
tights of owners respected just as much
IN the case of any other property
Alen should plant for Others and for their
hlldren trees of which perchance
themselves may never eat the fruit
Women should 60 into the cultivation of

healthful and remunerative; for the
market for fruit is and will be continu-
ally on the increase.
Care should be taken to procure kinds
that give as little trouble as possible in
