KERRvILLE, Tenn, Oct. 3.-The Kerr
vile Agricultural association met at Kerr
vile October 9, and will continue four
DAYS. Since the last meeting new grounds
have been selected, on which commodious
and substantial buildings have been
erected, which add greatly to the con-
yenionce and prosperity OF the association.
The first day was devoted to receiving
exhibits and arranging the entries Yes
terday the association was favored with a
fair attendance and all seemed well pleased
with the results OF the day.
The display of cattle merits more than
n passing notice, and proves conclusiyely
that the people are alive to the importance
of raising blooded cattle. The number OF
cattle exhibited speaks well for the farm
ers, and the excellent condition illustrates
the effect OF fine blood and good pastures
Short-horn cattle predominated in num-
bers and are OF the best breeds
The condition aud number OF hogs will
convince every one that The farmers OF
Shelby and Upton counties are solid on
the meat question, and are determined 10
have their smoke houses ut home.
The eye Of the lover Of well bred horses
Is nj once attracted rs the large number OF
boodcd animals enter the ring, and each
owner takes special pride in his beautiful
entry.
The superior quality, large size and the
great variety OF corn would do credit
10 the planters OF the Mississippi valley,
and fully demonstrates the fact that as
fine corn can be grown in Upton and
Shelby counties rs any section In the
South.
The disp ay Of apples is entitled to spo-
cial and favorable mention.
The floral display, though limited. de-
serves liberal share OF favorable com
mendation, showing great care IN selection
and cultiyating
The needle work, though not as extern
siye and varied ns Il might bo, is indicative
OF patience, ingenuity, skill and artistic
arrangement. There are three Of the most
beautiful crazy quilts ON exhibition that
your correspondent ever saw-one, u
model Of loyclincss, OF which the owner
should justly feel proud, aud II u single
lady she has in Il a winning matrimonial
card aud will doubtless he tho most popu-
lar candidate IN her county.
