Your Pomona Grange and the Anderson
Agricultural Society have determined on
having Fair on the 9th day of August,
during the sitting of the State Grange and
the State Agricultural Society. appeal to
the members Of our Order throughout the
County-mcn and women-to make one
grand effort to sustain the good name of
Anderson County by each one bringing
something to exhibit. Let it be the duty of
each member to bring specimens Of wheat,
oats, rye, barley, millet, grasses, &C. corn,
cotton, potatoes, tobacco; vegetables of all
kinds; watcr-melons and musk-melons !;
apples, peaches, plums-in fact, the best
specimens of all these you may have. Our
sisters will please furnish specimens oftheir
Misunderstanding, counterpancs, coverlcts,
blankets, needle and fancy work; specimens
of bread, rolls, rusk, biscuit, crackers iellies,
preserves, pickles; and don't forget your
beautiful flowers anything you have that
will add interest to the meeting. The gates
will be thrown wide open and free to. all,
and If the subordinate Oranges will take q
lively interest in this matter success is Ger
tain. Again, this will do o great deal toward
giving the Changers position and influence
among the people outside the "gates," and
permanently establishing our Order. Let
each Master, and all other officers and MEM
bers, bcstir themselves. Urge this matter
before your Grange, and We will have the
largest exhibition ever known in Anderson.

On last Saturday afternoon the citizens
assembled for the express purpose of recon-
sidering the fence question. About forty or
fifty whites and negroes, principally whites,
we're present. We only regret not being
present so as to itemize and give the novel
ties of the occasion. 1nev were all speak
ers, consequently no audie4ica Every one
had the floor at the same time, end cw:l,g
to the magical power and obstreperousness
OF the arguments, pro and con, the citizens
became alarmed. 1t may rightly be called
bogus meeting; but we are happy to
learn ihal there were no lives lost or any
blood spiit.....,The debate on lost Saturday
night &C Mt. Zion was largely attended and
considerable interest manifested. The ques-
ton discussed was, (which was more cruel
ly treated by the white man, the negro or
the Indian ?" After a lengthy discussion, it
was decided affirmatively. The question
for next Saturday night is, (Which is the
cause of greater evil, intcmperancc or fash
| ions2" An Interesting debate is antici-
| pated......Our fruit is failure this year as
we were unfortunate enough to be num-
| bered with the hail victims. Not even q
| blackberry pie can be had.
