Of Mr.. J. C. CAN'T, of this County, deserve
special notice. The display of domestic
manufactures, such as carpeting, jeans,
coverlets, blankets, quilts, rugs, ETC., was
very good, though not equal to previous
years. The redeeming character in this dis
ply is in the superior quality of the articles
exhibited.
THE NEEDLE AND FANCY WORK DEPARTMENT
is as usual, attractive and interesting, es-
pecially to the ladies, who alone can fully
appreciate the rare taste and superior skill
displayed in the many articles exhibited.
The specimens of embroidery, braiding and
crochet are indeed exquisite, while the large
number of garments, and parts of garments,
together with the thousand and one other
specimens of hlndiwork, contribute to
render close observation and inspection
of the articles on exhibition in this depart
ment of both interest and profit to all those
who delight in such wo:k. We next in
spect the
FINE ART DEPARTMENT,
which is equally as good, if not superior,
to any exhibition of former years, both in
point of the quantity and quality of articles.
The paintings and drawings were allvery
fine. and elected general praise from those
present, Us did also the other articles in this
department. Last, but not least, is the
MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.
Among the novelties here the most promi-
nent is q postage stamp fire SCREEN" ex-
hibited by Mrs. R. L. Keys, and which is
too unique to attempt description. This
department is always interesting, as it is
here we find collected the novelties and
curiosities of the Fair A very prominent
feature of the Fair this year is the fine dis
play Of the
M'saITH MUSIC HOUSE,
Of Greenville, which contributed o great
deal to the pleasure of the occasion. Two
pianos and several organs were kept busy
the greater part of the time by fine per-
formers. A large collection of sheet music
was displayed, ahd Mr.. and Mrs. McSmith
did everything in their power to add to the
interest of the Fair.
The Anderson Palmetto Band discoursed
martial music on Thursday and Friday to
the delight and pleasure of all present.
This concludes the sketch of the most i'm
portant features of our County Fair, and
although an imperfect one, it will, we hope,
assist those of our readers who were not
present to form some general idea of what
it was, and to what extent successful. For
the persevering and energetic efforts exerted
in behalf of the Association by its President,
Hon. B. F. Crayton, and acting Secretary,
Col. Jas. L. Orr, too much credit cannot be
given. The closing feature of the occasion,
rs usual, was the report of the Secretary,
made up from the reports of the various
awarding committees, which was made in
the building about 8 o'clock on Friday af-
ternoon, when many anxious hearts were
The crowd then dispersed, and
everybody seemed well pleased with the
eleventh annual fair.

exhibit of Messrs. Warren {; Stribling,
other persons had fine specimens of barn
yard fowls on exhibition, which rendered
this department especially attractive. The
outdoor departments having been examined
we now enter the building, where the inge-
nuity, skill and taste of the ladies are espe-
cially displayed.
THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT
is the first to arrest our attention Us we en-
ter the building at the east end, and behold
the splendid array of bottles, jars, tumblers,
cans, and many other vessels, filled with
every description of sweet meats. The first
in order, as we pass around through the
building to the right, is the wines, shrubs,
cordials, acids, specimens of fruit, ETC.,
which are always especially fine. Just
above this department we find the display
of canned fruit, brandy peaches, chrystal-
lied fruit, etc, which, we are pleased to
note, is both large and varied. We next
encounter the pickles, catsups and the like,
and are pleased to report that our house
wives fully realize and appreciate the inn
portance of these excellent articles on our
tables. Further on we come to the jellies,
jams, preserves, marmalades, etc., which
would be sufficient, we should judge, to
satisfy the taste of the most fastidious epi-
| cure. We next come to the departments
where the more substantial articles of food
are found. such as breads, cakes, salads,
hams, butter, corned beef, syrup, dried
fruits and many other articles too numcr-
Gus to mention, all of which reflect credit
on the superior skill of the ladies Of our
town aud county. We next go to the

Mr. Mundela, member of Parliament. In q
speech at a banquet Of the Sheffield Traders
Council, lately, said that America was Just re.
covering, after five years OF unprecedented
depression in trade, and her recovery was
due to her boundless resources, for thousands
OF her artisans had been driven by trade de-
pressions to the cultivation OF the soil. Now
che was not only supplying her own p,eo-
pie with goods, but exporting her
manufactures to such an extent
that she had become powerful rival to Eng
land It did not follow, however that
Americas growth would be England's de-
cadence, for he believed that England would
grow with Americas growth, and strengthen
with her strength. Still, it was important
that English workmen should be fully alive to
the strides America was making, and should
know that America had been able to export
SO extensively because OF her labor-savlng
machinery, and that, owing to the improved
state of her patent laws, she could more east
ly utilize her Inventions.

The Bavaran government has sent to the
Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish con-
gregations of the kingdom, and to the SAM
tary officers OF the chief cities, to ask their
opinions in relation to cremation. The Roman
Catholics express an unqualified disapproval,
the Jews decline to express any opinion, the
Protestants say it would only necessitate n
change in their liturgy and the sanitary
officials recommend it after battles, during
epidemics, when the remains are to be sent to
