THE COUNTY FAIR!
FINE STOCK!
Falling Off in Field Crops I!
DOM ESTIC DEPARTMENT
A PERFECT SUGGEST
PREMIUMS, &c.

1ne county talr was neld at the FAIR
Grounds Of the Society, Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday of last week.
The number Of entries far exceeded
that of any previous year, and
amounted to thirteen hundred and
eleven. From some cause the de-
partments that should have been most
fully represented had the fewest
exhibits; the samples of Field Crops
were extremely limited. In quail
ity, however, this department was
good enough. There was only one bale
of cotton, few half-bushels of corn,
wheat and oats, and pretty good show
ing of large and fine turnips and pota-
toes. A sample half-bushel of wheat
in this department deserves special
mention. It is called the Bill Dallas,
and is rust-proof. Mr.. Jno. R. Spear
man, JT., who exhibited this sample,
tested the wheat thoroughly this sea-
son. He planted this and common
wheat side by side. The common
wheat had the rust badly, and made less
than half a crop. The Bill Dallas did
not have the sign Of rust, and made a
full yield. Mr.. Spearman also exhibit
ed sample of Burt's rust-proof oats,
which succeeded as well as the wheat
did.
Going upstairs into the Ladies De-
partment everything pretty and attrac-
tive met the eye-beautiful quilts, silk,
worsted and cotton, crochet work, rugs,
carpets, mats, lace, and everything else
that ingenuity and good taste could de-
wise or deft fingers fashion were dis
played in rich profusion. And then the
jellies, pickles, preserves, wines, cakes,
bread, butter, and so many other things
that are so pleasant to have about a
house and render woman q necessity in
domestic economy, were beautiful to
look upon and would go straight to a
mans heart by the shortest way ever
yet discovered by housekeepers. We
could linger over this department a
wcek-provided the cooks were out and
the supply should last so long-but we
must desist. Nature, in this depart
ment, was so far outstripped by her
young sister, Art, that we feel it due to
the elder dame to say that her pears
and her apples were of most excellent
quality; one bachelor exhibited fourteen
varieties Of apples, all very fine; a
lady exhibited "baker's dozen" of ele-
giant pears.
In the Stock Department the exhibi-
tion was about as good as last year
probably a little falling off: There
were some very dne horses on hand.
