WAYS. we'll satisfied with their success,
aud already planning in their minds
improvements and engagements Tor
next year. The people Of this commu'
nifty have cause for congratulations, Tor
by their enterprise and public spirit
they are showing the advantages ana
beauties of old Jefferson to the outside
world. and at the same time creating a
shirt of emulation that will result In
better farming, better stock-raising,
better frult-raising and more wide
awake and progressive life altogether.
We prophecy that these exhibitions will
do much toward lifting us out of old
ruts, and give us an impetus that Will
make us stand at the head, as our natu-
raj advantages en.itle us, of the pros
porous and intelligent communities
around US.
With one accord the newspaper COM
ments on the exhibition have united in
pronounciug it superior one, equal
ing the best efforts of many of the old
established agricultural societies around
us. and free from the Objectionable
| features that characterize many fairs.
A writer in the Hagerstown Globe says:
''rhis being only the second exhibition
of the association, leads us to predict
that if these people keep their shout
ders to the wheel, and all pull together
for few years, and at the same time
receive from the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad such support us is given Will
liams' Grove by the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, Morgan's Grove will become
as famous and rs grea! us Williams
Grove exhibition"
Too much credit cannot be given to
the various officers of the Association

ting labors to make the exhibition 4

l.. Reinhart, B. +. Harrison, w. n.
Lemen, A. 5. cambridge, G. L. Lckli-
der, and Il score Of others we could
name. The generosity Of Col. VIM. a.
Morgan, too, In giving up the grove,
and, in fact. his entire premises, to the
uses of the exhibition, cannot be too
highly commended. Col. Morgan kept
open house and extended his hospitality
to all.
