The County Fair.


We enclose in this issue a COPY of the rrcmi-
um List for the Fair to be held here next week
We send it AS Supplement to the Times first be-
cause We have not room for it in our regular is
sue, and next, bee ;use we think it will be more
likely to attract attention in that form 1t will
be seen that additions and change, have
been made in it since it was last published.
Premiums for thorough bred horses, which were
inadvertently overlooked before, are added; ad-
ditions have been made to some of the Commit
tees, and changes made in others. That it is not
even'now perfect, there is no doubt, but We do
know that the Committee tried very hard to
please everybody, and if they have not succeed
cd it was not from any want of inclination to do
so on their part.
We have had considerable experience in such
matters, and we have always found that the
harder we strove to please all the more sure
were we to displease very large number of
persons.
But the Fair is not gotten up so much to please
any one ss 70 incite spirit of emulation among
the people to improve their stock, to increase
and improve the products Of choir farms, to re-
duco their expenses and to make thens bett r. sel

that these exhibitio6 ptten up. If there
was no other motive IMAM that, none but those
who have fine stock would take any interest in
them but they are intended to show what inn
provcmcnts arc annually made and how thew
are made, so that oil may, if they choose to do
so, take advantages Of the economies adopted
and produce tue best at the least cost.
Every individual in the County is interested
in improving and increasing it's productions
upon the most economical basis, therefore it is
the interest of every one to help gather together
annually the best products and learn from their
owners or producers how they are produced, so
as to profit from them.
Every man, woman and child who has any.
thing in which they feel pride-even to fine
baby, Notwithstanding there is no premium
offered this year for such productions-should
bring it to the exhibition, and if there is moth.
ing OF the kind better on exhibition, they will
take home premium if any one excels it the
others may be able to learn how it was done and
be successful next year.
Let everybody contribute something, it will
he new and interesting to others and will do
much towards making the Fair a success.
Remember, although the exhibition is under
the auspices of the Oranges, none outside of
that order are excluded but all are invited to
participate aud compete.
We are pleased to learn that many persons
from distance will exhibit improved plows,
narrows, and other agricultural implements.
Union can, if the people will, make as fine an
exhibition as any County in the State, and we
hope her citizens will make an effort to secure
one of the Premiums offered by the State Society
for the largest and best exhibition of articles of
alI kinds exhibited by any County in the State.
