The County Fair.

The County Fair.
With much pleasure we announce to the Fur
mers Of Union that the new officers of the Coun-
ty Agricultural aud Mechanical Associa ton of
Union have determined to continue the old
organization and have an exhibition of Stock Of
oil kinds, Farm Products, Farm Implements,
Mechanics and oil things that 60 to make up
homo comforts, no ne luxuries. and the eie.
vation of our social and artistic tastes.
The owner of the Fair grounds has very gene
rously rendered the use Of the property, free of
charge, for the next Fair, and the officers Of the
Society arc now preparing premium list. which
will be liberal and attractive.
Instead of the extra expenses proposed by
the last meeting Of the Association, the new
officers have concluded to curtail expenses and
throw oil the means at their command, with their
time and labor, into the general good Of the So.
oiety.
Such spirit Of liberalty and County pride
should he appreciated and we believe will COM
mand the active cooperation Of the WHOLE people
of the County. In particular. do we appeal to
the young farmers of the County to come to the
front in this organization. You should ,ake
prominent positions in it. but ir you take no
interest in making it o success, but rather
voluntarily stand aloof from it, how can you
expect to be recognized as q part Of it?
Come to the front, young Farmers of Union,
and assist is establishing Farmers Association
that shall be n credit to yourselves and benefit
to the County at large.
The Ladies. of course. will require no appeal
in this matter. On the contrary, we expect the
Ladies' will volunteer their assistance in every
way possible.

Severe Drought---Crops.


This section Of our county is now suffering
from severe drought. We have had but one
good rain since the llth of May. Last Monday
week good rain fell here, but none fell FIVE
miles on either side Of us then, and from that
time to now the weather has been extremely hot.
We are pleased to hear that in almost every 9th.
er part of the county they have not suffered for
rain and there the crops Of cotton and corn are
looking WELL Particularly was this the case
along the Paeoiet, Thickety and upper part of
Fairforest, until few days ago. Now the corn
throughout the County is wanting rain. At
present the cotton, though small on rcd land,
Is not suffering, and if it gets rain in few
days will be in fine condition, as It has bean
well worked, generally, AMI is very clear of
grass. While cur farmers are beginning to get
anxious about the continuance of the drought
they are not despondent, MS o general rain
this week would set their crops booming. Gar
dens are about "gone up.'' Wa,ermelons are
looking very doubtful. Sweet Potatoes are sad
ly in need Of rain, but there is time enough yet
for them to "come OUT ~
All things considered, il is TOD soon 10 make
any great complaint Of the condition Of the corn
and cotton crops, for they are looking very fair
and the prospects for good rain grow brighter
daily. II won't do 10 "slack up" in working
them.

r. w. Shand Esq, to Leave us.

With unfeigned regret we learn that n. w.
Shand Esq, has determined to leave Union and
reside in Columbia. At present we will only
say that Mr. Stands removal from our commu-
nifty will be seriously felt and sincerely regret.
cd by oil. lie has won his way to the hearts
of the people of this couniy by hightoned
honorable course Of conduct, and no man more
justly commands the respect and confidence of
his fellow citizens. Not until he has left us
will this community fully realize the true moral,
social and intellectual worth Of the man. To
us it is sad TO think Of losing so pure and SO
true a christian citizen.

Exhibition .f Clifford Seminary.

,S.S, and most oreditable to the I'm .neh
training Of that institution as we'll as the pbils
themselves. We have heard from numhsA ai
competent judges who were present, that ID bs
undoubtedly the best exhibition of MuAS6l
scholars ever given in Union, and they doul& fed
much If any school outside the County c5hld
excel IT, taking the performance OF the vkoIe
school together. The Young Ladies of the ia.
vanced classes certainly exhibited uncommon
skill and proficiency in music while those oftho
lower classes did themselves aud teachers great
credit by the remarkable accuracy of time And
measure they observed in the performancc Of
each piece. -
We have never seen Nicholson's halS SO
crowded rs it was that night, nor have we Syer
seen more respectable, orderly or better plelsed
assembly of Ladies and gentlemen.
The Clifford Seminary is mainly compised
of Young Ladies from the country, and tits
peculiar, but we think very natural, fact, hat
the progress Of a scholar at each session y so
marked that one pupil from any section oftbe
county invariably brings one or two more ID ihe
Seminary at the next session.
Mrs Clifford is undoubtedly nm EupcomuA Aai&
competent Teacher, an untiring worker in her
school room duties and thorough disciplinarian,
and in oil the branches of the Seminary she
infuses among her pupils laudable spirit Of
ambition to excel and love of study. Mr..
Clifford, who assists in tho higher branches, is
one of the finest scholars in the State, and is
also thorough working teacher, giving the
young Ladies of the Institution an advantage
for "highcr education" that but few schools can
offer. "a
Misses Julia and Susie Scho6eld have charge
of the classes in the primary departments, and
they, too. arc indefaigable in tbeir efforts to lay
foundations upon which may be built the high
est character of education. In this Seminary,
each one, Teacher and pupil is required to- do
her whole duty in imparting aud receiving in.
