POULTRY DEPARTMENT..
There were several cuops of very fine /
ducks and geese, and among
them we noticed Que coop containing
two Ol the finest geese we have ever
seen. They were the property of Mr..
John White. We tued to see Mr..
White to urge him to bring them TO
the Knoxville, or rather Eastern DE-
vision Fair, but failed to meet with
him, but hope he will bring them.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr. John Brown, OF Morristown,
displayed two vehicles of his manufac.
WIe We noticed some very handy
constructed school desks of home man-
ufaoture, and also Il spinning wheel Of
new design, several fine saddles,
some fine boots, set Of fine harness,
dc, Some pictures and pencil sketches
adorned the walls, while beautiful
quilts and counterpaue could be seen
hanging around promiscuously on the
lower floor.
The " johnson - PiOw-Ciark q
Johnson, ofyour city, manufactures
was well represented there being
one of each kind they make on the
ground. In my notices of the Bristol
and Grceneviile Fairs, I unintention-
ally overlooked them, and the fact of
tucir being there is good proof of their
worth. We understand the firm pro-
poses 0 have them at every Fair IN
East Tennessee this year.
They are undoubtedly the plow for
this country.
There was also a very good display
OF stoves and tinwaTe, and very large
display of pojteryware. Mr.. Evans
patent fence attracted general atten-
ton. 1t viii he at the Eastern D.vis-
ion Fair.
MUSIC.
\ Brass Band from Union Depot
furnished some excellent music, while
the Waters Organ, put on exhibition
toy Mr.. Cummins, Of the Knoxville
Music Emporium, was kept pretty
busy all day. This instrument, Wber-
ever exhibited, attracts universal at
ieutiuu, but is especially admired 10y
those who understand and admire
music Mr.. Cummius made a good
display of musical instruments, viUlins
accOrdious, &c, and we understand
has been very successful in making
sales az the different fairs he attended.
serves To meet with success.
Thompson & Co., Of the Knoxville
Italian aud Tennessee Marble Works,
displayed some beautiful tomJst3nes ,
which We're generally adm red and at
tracted quite a crowd, nothwitstaud-
ing that one nervous lady said they
should not bring tombstOnes to fair,
as 10 made one feel 50 bad. This firm
works some of the best Of marble work
men, and uses none but the best of
material, hence we are not surprised
that the specimens are admired
wherever shown.
AMUsElENTs,
Some enterprising individual put a
good ten pin alley in operation, at
which the young men amused Them
selves. Others again, aud among them
young ladies, enjoyed themselves
in circular swing. Others amused
themselves in various ways, target
shooting, &c,

THE ATTENDANCE
