HOME MATTERS.
Agricultural society.

On next Saturday, Dec. 23d, at p. NJ, the La
Sale County Agricultural Society will hold
meeting at the Court House in this Iity. AS the
main object OF the meeting is to make arrange
ments for holding a Fair next fall and to get pos
session OF the Fair Grounds or at least the great
er part OF them, it is hoped that as many as pos
sble will be in attendance. 1t is useless to state
the advantages to our manufacturers OF the city
oil holding an annual fair where their wares can
be displayed before thousands of spectators;
nor can we enlighten the agricultural popula-
ton more fully on the benefits arising to them
as they ought to know them better than we can
tell. The last call for meeting was not too
well attended, and it is to be hoped that this one
on next Saturday will be more generally thought
of and attended. Each class should be repre-
scented to look after its individual interest for
no one else will look after it for them. By hard
and united work one of the best fairs Of the state
can annually be held here. Let us have it, then.

these are IN the Southern Statcs-twO-thlrds

Republican state authorities to establish free
schools, and these schools fiourished till the
states relapsed into Democracy again, when
all of them were practically abolished.

free schools as we have them in Illinois, and
