Our Fair.


our fair came off on Friday last. From
the time We announced the day, up to
the time Of holding the fair, period of
five or six weeks, tobacco was not i'm
good order, and it wasneXt to impossible
to get il in order so as to bring it in, yet
there were 50 entries of the Indian
weed, and very fine display for the
crop Of 1879, which is small, as well
rs an inferior crop. There were 81 en-
tries of corn, and a better display We
never saw anywhere.
The samples were received and num-
bered by noon, and after noon the judges
went to work awarding premiums.
III. J. C. Lindley, Alfred Ashby, ST.,
]. B. Bennett, VIM. Shull and +. B.
Wise were selected to award the premi-
ums on corn.
II. p. Hare, Henry Glover, J. p
Vaughan, of Louisville; Geo. III. Sim
mons and w. II. Murphy, of Owens
boro, all representatives Of Louisville
tobacco warehouses, and all well posted
tobacco men, We're selected to award
the premiums on tobacco.
While the judges were at work Mr..
V. NJ Metcalfe, of Hopkinsville, adj
dressed quite large number of farmers
and citizens generally at the Methodist
Church upon agricultural chemistry.
He spoke for two hours and had the
most marked attention. He is well
posted upon this subject, and talks to
the point. He set them TO thinking
and his lecture will undoubtedly result in
good. After the conclusion the audience
adjoured to the court house, and the
judges having completed their labors,
the lucky names were called out, and
each came forward and received his
premium as follows:

The notion that high salaries secures
for the State the services of the ablest
men is Il delusion. For many years
past salaries have been going up, while
there has been steady falling off in
the average ability of many classes of
public officers notably so in that of
our Judiciary. What step, for exam
pie, from Chief Justice Robertson or
Elijah Hise to some of the judges of the
court of appeals in later times. The
truth is, the effect of high salaries is to
cause a fierce scramble for office, and it
too frequently happens that the boldest
and least scrupulOus gamester Is the
successful contestant. In fight such
rs this modest, merit sees that all the
chances are against it, and very often
it declines to enter the contest .at ALL
Lebanon Standard.
THE Hartford HERALD, always en-
terprising and progressive, proposes to
hold a corn and tobacco fair on the 9Th
inst, for the distribution of premiums
for the best samples of either product
presented by any paid up subscriber.
The samples of tobacco must contain
ten pounds, and the samples of corn
thirty ears. The awards will be made
by committee of disinterested gentle
men. Fifteen premiums are offered,
nine on tobacco and six on corn; five
S25, five SO and five s.. This Opportu-
nifty is extended to any one in Ohio,
Davies, Mclean, Muhlenberg, Butler,
Grayson, Breckenridge or Hancock,
who paid his subscription prior to the
I'd instant. The HERALD's last fair
proved decided success, and this one
promises to be equally or even more
successful. The columns of the HER
AID have sufficiently proven that when
John p. Barrett takes hold of anything
in the newspaper line he makes it CO.

The Best Route

To the North and East is by way of Mem
phis and Louisville, over the Louisville and
Great Southern railroad line. From TIE
principal points of Texas to Louisville it is
over one hundred and fifty miles shorter
and many hours quicker than any route via
st. Louis. 1t is also shorter and quicker to
Cincinnati and all points East. 1t is the
only route by which we can take in the great
Mammoth Cave, of Kentucky, and its
through arrangement of Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars is unsurpassed.
