Agricultural Fairs in the State,

A grand circuit of annual fairs will
begin at Huntsville, Ala, Oct It'll
continuing five days, at Aberdeen,
Miss Oct. 18Th, lasting six days, at
jackson, Miss, Oct Goth, to continue
six days. at Meridian, Oct, 9th, six
days, at Eutaw, Ala, Nov, Sd, six
days, at Marion, Ala, Nov 10th, six
days, and at Eufauia, Ala, Nov. 18th,
also to continue six days.
The Fair at Aberdeen will be held
under the auspices of the Mississippi
Stock Breeders Association, and is
open to the world This fair being
in what may be called empEatically,
the stock breeding region of the
State, will doubtless present many
attractions to the lovers of fine stock
The premium list has come to us and
is liberal and comprehensive one,
and will doubtless secure much com
petition not only from the immediate
vicinity, but also from the State at
large.
The State Fair at the capital has
also an attractive list of premiums
and will doubtless be success. In
this central gathering there should
be an interest taken all through the
State, and whenever there is any
thing worthy of exhibition the object
of its producers should be to COM
pare it with what is done in other
sections in the same line, We have
not yet seen the premium list of the
Meridian Fair, but from the ambi,
tons character of the people of that
prosperous city, we feel sure they
will not allow themselves to be ex-
celled by either Aberdeen or jackson.
1t would doubtless be greatly BEN
efcial TO the agricuturalists of this
county to cultivate closer relations
with those Of other sections of the
State, and at these fairs they would
have the best of opportunities of
comparing the relative condition at
home with that of other portions of
the State. A little friction is useful
in Frightening up the ideas of plant
ers, as well as those of other classes
OF business men. We hope Adams
county will be well represented in
all these State Fairs.-Natche2

Resources Of Mississippi.

MACON, Sept. 6.--Prof. L. C.John.
son, of the United States geological
survey, is making researches in this
State in behalf of the Worlds Expo
sition, has discovered in this county,
on the railroad, valuable sandstone
suitable for building purposes. 1t
underlies the Ripley group, which is
generally phosphate. 1t has here
tolore been supposed that the lime
rock stratum underlying this part of
the State, aud known as rotton lime
stone, was the only variety here.
This discovery will probably be OF
immense benefit to this section.
Specimens of the rock and the phos-
phate in connection are being prepar-
ed Tor the Exposition.

Respectfully,
w. b. WALKER.

We are glad to see that some Of
our most prominent citizens are taking
an interest in making the Mississippi
department in the New Orleans Ex-
position a success. Every man should
feel interested in the great work and
aid in having the valuable produts
minerals etc, of our State put on en-
hibition there in December.
Dr. B. f. Archer Of Marietta is pre-.
pairing to make an exhibit of his in
ventions there and also the products
from his farm. He has been granted
patent to four Of his inventions this
year, and will exhibit Fetilizer, Pull
verizer, and Distributor, a Pea and
Bean Huller or thresher, a Harness
Saddle, all of his own inyetion, also "A
Bunch Of superior equality of Oats.
Corn in the ear, some specimens of
grass, some mammoth Potatoes, and
some curious pebbles and Pottery. If
every man in our two counties who
could would follow the example
of DR.. Archer, and get up something
valuable and useful to exhibit the
Mississippi Department would not
be left so near blank as it was at
Louisville last yea.-Baldwyn Signef,

Bales OfCOiton i'll EeNasRnd Wis
sissippi.

The Galveston News estimates the
cotton crop of Texas for this season
at between one million and eleven
hundred thousand bales 10 the event
OF very favorable harvest season.
In comparing the cotton crops of
Texas and Mississippi, an important
fact should always be taken into
consideration, and that is that while
$50 pounds is large average for the
weight of Texas bales, 500 lbs,is less
than an average for Mississippi, and
10 this portion of the Stnte $50 is
hardly up to the notch, Upon this
basis,a Texas crop of 1000, 900 bales
would amount to 450,000,000 pounds,
while the Mississippi crop of 1000,
900 bales would give 500 900 coo
pounds, or an excess of 50000,000
pounds OF lint cotton, or Hill
Texas bales. In other words if Mis-.
sissippi and Texas each report It
crop of one million bales of cotton,
The Texas crop will hardly amount
to 100000 bales computed by the
Mississippi average. while the Mis-
sissippi crop will amount to over
1,111,111 bales, computed by the
Texas average,

"Gath," Geo. Alfred Townsend,
writes to the Cincinnati Enquirer
that he has recently encountered two
Germans in New York who are large
employers OF laborers, mostly of their
own nationality. One of these men
is cigar manufactures who employs
1900 workmen, the other is brewer
employing 300. These gentlemen
concur in the opinion that ninety
per cent. Of the German vote of New
York will be cast for Cleveland and
Hendricks ! Both of the men inter-
viewed have been life long Republi-
cans, but will vote the Cleveland
ticket. In conversation with promi-
nent German citizens from Western
States, Gath derives the opinion that
the German vote is drifting almost
en- naasse to Cleveland and Hen
bricks. Thsse people are opposed to
all sumptuary laws, and desire a
radical change in the administration

LOST TREASURES.

Grenada Sentinel
There we're recently burned up in
Grenada several thousand dollars
worth of books, legal, medical and
literary. In the loss of private pro-
perty there were losses that money
cannot reinstate, for they we're simply
priceless in value. Pictures that
called from the dark shadow of the
past visions of earlier and happier
days when the devoted wife looked
up into the face of her affectionate
husband with a trustful conf dence
that nothing could break. When the
blushing face of the sweet maiden
daughter turned her dark eyes upon
her doating father with an absorbing
affection; when the manly form aud
open brow of the darling boy stood
the impersonation of future promise.
These pictures hung upon the walls,
voiceless representatives q those who
had crossed over the river and were
waiting upon its green bar ks beneath
the shades of the immortal trees upon
whose bright foliage no autumn suns
ever set, no wintry storms ever beat,
for that hour in the uhdeveloped
future when we shall again clasp
hands.

Notwithstanding the great prejudice
against railroads. He has worked
himself up from the old farm, where
he was a regular tiller of the soil, to
his present high position and dis.
tinction. Every farmer in the coun
try would do that if he could, and
when they get acquainted with Ed.
Russell, observe his plain old Mis-.
sissippl ways, they feel an interest
in him and pride in his success.
He has been the medium of more
intimate intercourse between the
railroad and the people, and that has
been very much to the advantage OF
the railroad. Messenger.

Badly Frightened.

The Republican papers are quite
busy apologizing for and explaining
the Vermont election, which they
Acknowledge as defeat. "In Yer
mont" says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
''the Republicans feel sore over the
failure of Edmunds to secure the
nomination" 1t goes further than
this, and, along with the other party
papers, is disposed to charge this de-
feat on Edmunds, at whom it sneers
as the "polar" candidate, the "con-
gealed" Senator, full Of "idiosyncra-
cies."
The New York Tribune comedies
that not much zeal was displayed by
the Republicans in Vermont; and
this it explains, like the |. o.. was
due to Edmunds, "who never makes
any efforts to kindle the zeal Of
uthers. "A leauer Oh uiIIeronJ quaIl-
ties" it remarks, mourn(ully, "might
have aroused this zeal, which was so
needed."- N. O. Times Democrat.

The Maine Election.

"fhe Dutch have captured Hol-
land"-Maine has gone Republican
and endorsed her "favorte son" as of
course every one supposed she would,
and has registered majority for the
Republican State ticket of about 49,
600. In 1880 she gave Garfield a
plurality of S,S4l but of course State
pride and an earnest personal canvass
by the candidate for President, should
be worth at least 5000 votes more to
the ticket than were registered in
1880, upon vote that is conceded
to be the largest ever polled in the
State.

since frequently suffered great want,

No Prominent Speakers for
Blaine.

Natchcz Democrat.
1t is little significant that the
most prominent republicans of the
country, those who have built up the
party and sustained it for quarter of
"A century, are nearly all so quiet in
the present canvass. Mr.. Edmunds, it
is true, has opened his mouth, but
very little comfort Tor Blnine and
Logan has flowed out ofIit. There is
no sound coming from the giant of
New York, Roscoe Conkling, and
even the brilliant but blatant Bob
lngersoll, who was the political spon-
sor for Blaine and named the "Plumed
Knight at his christening, is silent
as the grave. None other Of the bril-
liant men of the party have been af-
lected by the boosted magnetism of
Mr.. Blaine. Indeed about the only
men of note who are on the stump
for the republican nominations are
Blame and Logan themselves.
Logan's speeches, however, are
enough. He needs no assistance.

EDITORS EXAMINER:

Noticing the communication from
Mrs. +. Q. WILLIS in your issue OF
9th, I would ask, as Aberdeen has
been designated by her as point of
concentration for specimens of needle
work ETC., from this vicinity intended
for display at the New Orleans
Worlds Exposition, that the collec-
ton be exhibited at our Fair here,
October 18th to 18th inclusive. 1t
will afford convenient place of
concentration, add to the interest of
our Fair, the entry will cost the
owner nothing, the articles will be
carefully guarded, and the owner, |
dare say, will not object to drawing
a premium from our Association.
The time designated will precisely
suit.
We will probably have mary more
visitors at our coming Fair then we
have ever had heretofore, and it
should be our pride to make it a
great success.
