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

that of any previous year, ant
amounted to thirteen hundred ant
eleven. From some cause the de
partments that should have been mos
fully represented had the fewes
exhibits; the samples of Field Crop:
were extremely limited. In quail
ity, however, this department wa;
good enough. There was only one bale
of cotton, few half-bushels of corn
wheat and oats, and a pretty good show
ing Of large and fine turnips and pota,
toes. A r-ple half-busbel of whea,
in this department deserves special
mention. It is called the Bill Dallas,
and is rust-proof. Mr.. Jno. R. Spear
man, JI., 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 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 we'll as the wheat
did.
Going upstairs into the Ladies De-
partuent everything pretty and attrac-
tive met the eye-beautiful quilts, silk,
worsted and cotton, crochet work, rugs,
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
jeilies, 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 60 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 a most excellent
quality; one bachelor exhibited fourteen
varieties of apples, all very fine; q
lady exhibited 'baker's dozen'' Of ele.
giant pears.
In the Stock Department the exhibi.
tion WAS about as good as last year
probably little falling of. There
were some very fine horses on hand.
