The Cotton Premiums at State
Fair. .....

The premiums offered for the best cotton
exhibited at the coming State Fair amount
to $525.00. 1t has been the policy of the
State Fair authorities, for several years
past, not to offer premiums on cotton, but
rather to, encourage the grain and grass
crops. The premiums now offered are by
7ihe Centennial Board, and inasmuch as
Mississippi is the great cotton State of the
south, and of the world, il would seem APP
propriate that she should contend for supe-
riority in this particular at the great Inter-
national Exposition. 1t should be remem-
.bered that cotton cannot be entered at the
Exposition except through the State Board,
and the Board viii not ship any unless ii
has been first exhibited and pronounced
upon at the State Fair. The samples are to
be sent to the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change, where committee of experts will
examine and report. The premiums will
then be paid, and the best bales stored anC
reserved for shipment to Philadelphia-th,
State Board paying all expenses on the pre-
MUM bales.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBs.-We invite the
special attention of such of our readers as
may have been unfortunate enough to have
lost leg or an arm in military service, or
otherwise, to the card of Chas. M. Evans,
in another column; and when we state that
makes the best artificial limbs in use, and
that he never fails to give satisfaction to his
patrons, we but state established facts. He
requires no payment for the leg until it is
fitted, tested and declared satisfactory"
This shows his own confidence in his work.
Mr.. Evans has been engaged in the manu-
facture of artificial limbs for about eight
years, and has control of the welI-known
BLY, patent for large section of country
He has establishments at Cincinnati and
Louisville. We had occasion recently to
visit his establishment in the first nam ed
city, and found him and his force busily
employed in filling orders. Mr.. Evans is
we believe, a native of our city. He is
mechanic by nature and education, and hi
work has carried off the highest honors a
all the Fairs, for superior mechanism. H,
lis assisted by his brother and by his father
Henry B. Evans, an old and useful either
