until late on the first day, and hence
can not give you full report. The
day was gloomy and raining, and not
many people would venture out on the
ground. The day was principally oo.
cupied in making entries, of which
quite number were made. The
STOCK DEPARTMENT
was the only one making much OF a
show on the first day, and is pretty
well represented at present, much bet
ter than any other department. We
found some as fine stock as we have
ever seen and are glad to learn that
much of it will be on exhibition at the
Eastern Division Fair next week. The
best display in the stock department
that we have seen so far is made by
MR.. l.. L. GALLOWAY,
Who bought the Sneed farm. near
Sweetwater sometime since. He evi.
IDENTIFY believes in bloOded stock. and
will have no other kind. He has one of
the finest herds of cattle we have seen,

old. The bull which is years old, is
about the finest we have seen, and

HORSES
He seems as ever determined to have
only blooded stock, and has imported
several from Kentucky. He has "a 9

oughbred, sired by Mabry's "Riot.u

1t is from the farm of J. b. German,
with whom we had the pleasure of
meeting. Col. German is editor of the

takes great interest in fairs, being a
stock raiser of some importance, hav-
ing two fine stock farms.
Mr.. }. w. Howard has a fine sucking
colt.
Mr.. NJ. G. Wright entered a fine
Berkshire hog.
There is other stock, but we failed
up to this time to learn the names of
the owners.
From what We can learn the best of
the stock displayed here will be at the
Eastern Division Fair next week, and
our readers can then act as judges as to
their quality. Other sections will have
to look out or Monroe will take the pre-
miums on stock.
IN THE HOUSE
There is a pretty fair display, but
nothing like whatit will be tomorrow.
as entries are still being made. The
weather being so unfavorable yester-
day, it kept the ladies away, and the
prospects early this morning were not
very tiattering, as il was almost impos-
sible to say whether it would rain dur
ing the day or not, hence, doubtless
many ladies' from distance were kept
at home. Tomorrow we look for a
large display in that department.
There is, however, a pretty fair dis
play of jellies; preserves, OF every va
riety; varieties of apples, as fine as
We have ever seen; corn; hams; beats;
carrots potatoes herd grass seed
wheat; oats, &c, &c.
There is now fair display of fancy
work, such as beautiful braided skirts,
mats, DC, as we'll as quilts, blankets,
hearth rugs, carpets, DC.
