Piedmont Agricultural Association

The proposition TO organize "Picdmont
Agricultural Association" is beginning to
attract the attention of prominent, turner's
in this section of the Stare. The "Grccn-
Vile County Agricultural Socirty,' we arc
Informed, intend to take hold Of the ques.
tion and work il up, if such n thing; Is pQs-
8iblc. AD intelligent and prominent cti-
zen of this County has recently Written two

TINEL is entitled to the credit Of first sug-

We arc still Of the opinion that il would add
much to the agricultural interest ofthis soc.
