A FAIR T

MI. L. B. Holt, of Graham, exhibited
a specimen of corn said by judges to be
the finest in the world.
NJ. M. Lineberger, of Iron Mountain,
N. c., showed "some pumpkins" He
had one on exhibition weighing $50
pounds.
]. W. Tickle, of Burlington, N. c., had
on exhibition samples of homemade soaps.
They are beautiful, fully equal to any
soap seen upon the market.
@. II. Thompson, of Alamance county,
shows what you would take for imported
"London Layers" but they are raisins
put up by himself from grapes grown on
his farm.
Mr.. S. ". Rockwell, of Moore county,
exhibited a marvellous invention at the
Fair grounds last week. 1t was a ma
chine that will pull an ordinary stump in
three minutes.
In the Alamance county exhibit was
seen wooden goods, jeans, etc., the pro-
duct of the first wooden mills in that
county. So old Alamance is MOI only
first in cotton goods, but equal to any in
wooden fabrics.
A very beautiful and attractive exhibit,
representing Florida, wa in Floral Hall
by DR.. Patterson. There were great
punches ofsplendid oranges just ripening,
and many other fruits and specialties from
that tropical State. The display was
very tastefully arranged.
One of the most lively and exciting
incidents of the Fair was the game Of
La Crosse as played by the Cherokee
Indians. They were naked with the K
ception of clouts around the waist, ap-
peared in wal paint, and played as though
the life OF each was a very small matter.
Among the useful inventions of our
people, exhibited at the Fair, we noticed
a manure distributor, for broadcasting or
double drilling, by Bro. E. P. Lewis, of
CataWba, and a harrow pulverizer by
Bro. W. 7. Rand, of Auburn, N. G.
Both have decided merit and we hope
to see them in general use.
Little Maude Buffalo, of Wake county,
n daughter of - Buffalo, had on K
hioition a basket quilt which she made at
the age Of eight years. She ordered it
sold to the highest bidder and the BRO
ceeds to be deposited in the Savings
Bank to start fund for the establishment
of an Industrial School for girls. She
proposes to make an annual contri button
to this fund. 1t was a happy conception

THE STATE FAIR WEDDING.
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. Is, 1889

RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. Is, 1888.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It was my good fortune
to be present on the Judges stand and
witness the marriage ceremony of Mr.. W.
NJ. Bateman and his modest and lovely
bride. I beg to add my testimony as to
the exceedingly pleasant and creditable
manner with which the ceremony was
conducted throughout, and now permit
me to make a suggestion, and that is that
every Alliance in North Carolina, and the
whole South if they desire, send a we'd
ding present. to the BRIDE, not necessarily
costly, but of something that will be use
full to them in their future voyage of life,
as a token Of the appreciation of their SO
pluckily indicating in this manner the
honor of the Southern farmers in their
fight against the jute bagglng trust. I
am informed that suggestions were made
that the bridal couple be dressed in white
drilling instead Of cotton 5agging, but
that they both peremptorily declined.
You can say if this is so.
I write this as one not a member of the
Farmers Alliance.
Yours truly,

Sec'y Chamber Industry, Wilmington NC.

Last Saturday, John Mason, of Sugar
Creek, was knocked down and butted by
a bull. Luckily the animal was one of
the moody COW bulls, that have no horns,
and inflicted no serious injury. Mr..
Mason kicked the blood out of the head
and nose of the bull. Mr.. Mason was
finally rescued from his unpleasant posi-
ton by his father, Isaac Mason.-ChGr-
lOte NeWs.
The Ten essee Fnrnper reports a case of
precocious calving which is worth chron-
Ling, though our contemporary is quite
in error in supposing it to be unexcelled
in the United States. The Farmer sayes
that "John NJ. King, 3O8 South High
street, Nashville, is the owner of Jersey
heifer, Matte Armstrong, 53,077. She
was dropped July %, 1888, and she drop
ped a fully developed calf July 80, 1885,"
The question of a division of the North
Carolina Conference is being freely dis
cussed at present by many prominent
members of the conference. A sentiment
for a division seems to be finding favor
among many who have heretofore OPP
posed division. As the conference is
getting to be so large, it has become I'M
wieldy, and it is a heavy tax upon any
town that undertakes to entertain the
present conference.-SheDy AurorG.
Some time ago the Detroit Free Press
offered $4,000 in prizes for the three best
serial stories sent in before July 1st. The
result Of this competition has been that
Major Joseph, Kirkland, Of Chicago, has
taken the frst.prize of $1,000. His story
is entitled, 1.-THE Captain. Of Company
K" The second prize goes to Omaha,
and is taken by Mrs, Eliza w. Peattie.
Her story is entitled, "The Judge" The
third prize of $500 was awarded to
Elbridge s. Brooks, Of Boston.
A call for a meeting of the League of
Heaven and Earth, posted in Chinatown,
San Francisco, reveals the strength and
boldness of the Chinese secret society,
which has been prescribed in China since
the TAPPING rebellion. Its peculiar feature
is that it's victims are removed completely,
no trace of the corpse being left to serve
as a clue to the crime. Six Chinese are
said to have suffered death at its hands
within the last few months, but relatives
can get no facts about their fate.

The attention Of the editor of the Times
was called one day this week to a small
piece of jute bagging hanging to a tree on
the court no 'se square. Attached to it
was a piece of black Grape, to which was
pinned the following lines:
FARE THEE WELL.
Farewell, jute, farewell;
Your race is nearly run;
You have covered many a bale
Since the day you first begun.
You have travelled over land and sea,
The farmer paid your way;
You've crowded around Monopoly's door
You have had your time and day.
As to you, dear jute,
I have no feelings Ill,
But to keep bad company
Is against the Makers will.
Now, to you, old friend,
I will say good-by,
And hope you will find a resting-place,
But not beneath a tie.
Cotton will help to buy you,
Combines may shed a tear;
As tt your resurrection,
You need not have a fear.
Now, upon your tombstone
I will only write a line:
s." Died of combine fever
In eighteen hundred and eighty-nine."
From the Franklin Times.

stating that they will take the money
instead of the cotton. There will be
a charge of only ten cents per bale to
pay expenses. Our first sale will be
on the first Thursday in November.
Secretary Cashwell, of Abbotts-
burg Alliance, No. 439, Bladen coun-
ty, says: We are increasing slowly,
but with a determination to conquer
in the end. We number 81 males
and Is females. We resolved at our
last meeting to adopt the plan that
Bro. Hicks suggested IN reference TO
giving aid to helpless ones, that when
an Allianceman dies, leaving a wife,
or wife and children, that each Ali
ance in the State pay so cents OF one
dollar whichever may be agreed upon
to the widow of that deceased brother.
We hope that all the Alliances in the
State will favor the plan. Crops are
sorry in this section Of country this
year, caused by too much rain.
AT the last meeting of Winfall
Alliance, No. l,l08, as we r in
formed by Secretary j. P. Jessup,
a proposition looking to the helping
of the widows and orphans of deceased
brethren was considered and dis,
cussed at some length, and resulted
in the passage of the following reso
luton, which we are requested to

ship, and / trust that we are so
steadily growing in the faith that by
our great organization we shall see at
no distant day our once happy coun-

or other trust bagging in ours. Let
the brethren everywhere be firm in
such resolutions and we shall soon see
the dawn of a brighter day. With
