Tarsus Fair Notes.

The Grange Fair at Tarsus on the
18th instant, was a success, notwith-
sanding the rainy weather. Fully
500 people we're present and about 300
articles Of seeds, stock, etc., exhibited.
II the weather had been nice tits safe
to say the outcome would have been
doubled. The exhibit of corn and
field seeds would have done credit to
any county fair. About forty horses
and other stock were entered, but the
track was so muddy only few Of the
more resolute enjoyed the riding. and
driving rings.
The exhibit OF ladies work was good,
in which was piece OF letting made
by Mrs. Mary A. Laird, who is so years
old and does rot use spectacles.
There was some homemade bar
soap that was so nice, it is said one Of
the judges sampled il. mistakingit for
cake.
One farmer had samples of twenty
two different field and garden seeds,
demonstrating the fact that all our veg
etable seeds can be saved at home. A
nice dinner was enjoyed by all and af-
ter dinner was over there remained
several baskets unopened. The Tarsus
people know how to provide such COM
forts and they always do.
Col. B. M. Tillman, Lecturer of the
State Grange, delivered an interesting
lecture in the church, the large
house was packed by an appreciative
audience.
s. M. Wilson Esq, Secretary OF the
State Grange, was also present ming
ling with the people.
The Fair was so much better than
was hoped for on account of the rain,
the farmers are greatly revived, and /
think intend making it an annual feat
ure of the grange
At nighta concert was given in the
and it was success and we'll
attended. A large crowd remained on
the ground after the fair and supper
was spread for them.
Col. Tillman remained over and
lectured to good house at Shiloh on
Saturday night. BIC.

BLOCH BROS.

For the benefit OF the sensitive nosed
young fellow who called the attention
OF the public, instead OF the City Au-
thorities to an offensive order a little
to the west OF Second street." We
will say that we have had the place
thoroughly inspected by an officer who
could find nothing offensive or matter
TO make mole hill. Out OF the best
advice l can give the person who rot
up the sensation is to open up his heart
and procure bar OF soap and use it
upon himself to dispense the ordor.
The attack was altogether unnecessary
and without foundation, and am
sorry the author who put in the item is
devoid the principles which teaches us
to respect old age, but they chose the
little part of less, and through malice
directed the attention OF the public to
which was altogether imaginary, to
something that never existed.
