Our readers, again have submit
ted to them through the columns OF
TIE ENTERPRISE the premium
list of the Eastern Shore Agrlcni-
tnral Fair for this year,and through
MS each and everyone OF the
Eastern Shore are invited to com
Itte for amy of the prizes to be
awarded. The list of premiums as
will he seen, is long and compre-
hen,ive aud many OF them are real
" Mcrth the effort to secure them,
in themselves.
Tie moneyed consideration OIL
fcrcd too, to induce us TO exhibit
cur stock, farm products, agricul-
tural implements &c, is enough in
itself to make the display at our
Fair credirable to us in every re-
s,cct but that should he the least
incentive which should artnate us.
Homes are being sought in our
midst at this time by parties, many
of whom, will doubtless attend our
Fair. who will bring with them
capital aud labor, if they can be i'll
,I,.ccd to "cast their lots with u.s.
and it is important that we should
s,;n ulate them TO do so and to buy
up.ur waste laid, by showing to
them really what they are c;H'a.

Tie farmers themselves by coming
together comparing their methods
of farming, exhibiting their pro
duets, etc, can learn of each other
lessons which may he CT incStlm-
able value. New and advanced
IDEAS are gathered and utilized by
contact with our fellow men, and
the stimulus if applied, to learn OF
cur nelghbors, may he worth much
more to us than the mere dollars

Years, has not been that the cXhib-
Its were not cleditable, but that
there was such Il scarcity of them
in some departments. Quantity as
much as quality contributes to the
success of a Far, andthe managers
should see to it that that want is
met in the future. How that OBJ
irct can be accomplished we do not
know. but until many people can
lie interested to bring such offer
ings as they have, rather than
The few, the Fair will lack III hav-
ing the great mass of people inter-
rSted in a manner which is so eS
Scntial to its success. 1t is graft
tying in this connection, however,
to be informed that not only this
difficulty will he remedled but every
other one which may stand in the
way of success. To that end the
grounds have been improved, facil-
tiles for showing exhibits to best
advantage have been increased,
