The Next State Fair.
Our next State Fair should be
placed where it belongs, under the
executive management Of prominent
practical farmers in the State It il

should be smell of agriculture in its
management so as to warrent in un'

point to recommend him to the farm.

on the grounds with his coat off, and
in his shirt sleeves, we think it would
be a profitable exchange for all the
Stephighs to step out and let the real
working farmers step in to all these
positions. Press these offices upon
the farmees of our State, let them see

Inheritance to their children and our
word for it, instead Of ten thousand

grounds will be packed with agricul-

Holt wants this state Of things to
exist; bnt pressure is brought to
bear upon the chic officer parties of
means, I'VE mean money! who have
never given one ntitowards support
ing the State Fairs, and who possibly
exercise some influence in the premi,
sus.
1t is often the case that parties
with pretended means, 1--WE mean
money again, endeavor to influence
the powers that be- by false and
malicious representatio ions, which al.
ways work d;sastrously.
In conclusion, we will say that We
stand ready to support our excellent
friend Ool Holt. He is every inch
an honest straightforward clever
man, but we will not support other
movements that have been made by
a few men whose influence upon
cart h in respectable circles amounts
TO nothing. In the lower world
where others are in power they may
succeed. Indeed they ought to. and
doubtless will.--Ayricultwal Journal.
