THE COMING FAIR.-The time
for holding the eleventh annual fair
for Berkeley County is rapidly APP
preaching The crops have been so
abundant that the exhibition by the
farmers and gardeners ought to be
unusually large and fine. There is
also a splendid opportunity for the
ladies in the way of pickles preserved
and canned goods to make a larger
and better collection than ever be-
fore. They should make Floral Hall
grander and more attractive than
ever with beautiful articles of their
own handiwork. Heretofore the Ia
dies have shown excellent taste and
much energy, industry and interest
in making their department the most
attractive place on the grounds. Let
them not weary in well doing. Let
all-the ladies, the mechanics, the
nventors-all who are workers and
not drones take an interest in the
coming fair.

WE call attention to the adver-
tisement in another column Of Mr..
Z b. Whitman. The tendency of
the manufacturing business for years
has been towards but one line of
goods in factory, as workmen be-
come very skillful and can turn out
better goods and more of them when
kept to work on one thing from year
in and year out. The success of this
policy may be surmised from the i'm
mense factories and enormous sales
of the various concerns engaged in
the manufacture of reapers and NOW
ers, grain drills, &c. Mr.. Whitman
represents three separate factories
one manufacturing plows and pillow
castings, another, the Champion
Grain Drills, and another, making
the celebrated British Mixture. He
is not in the general agricultural
business, but for plows, grain drills,
and fertilizers, claims to be able to
compete with any other manufac-
turer in the land.

that he manfully and nobly met. The
author is evidently proud of his sub
