The Cotton Begging Wedding.

Speaking of the cotton bagging
wedding at the State Fair, the Green's
boro Wo1kman says:
1t is fact, and one to be regretted
sincerely, that in the anxiety to secure
a large attendance at our big fairs, a
great many expedients ere resorted to
in which a majority of the promoters
would not dare appear as actors, but
yet are Jealous in commencing others,
who, either not knowing or not caring
for the grotesque figures they cut, can
be persuaded to appear in situations
from which every citizen should be
taught to shrink Gentlemanly bear
ing in our young men, and modesty in
our young women, are virtues which
should have our best consideration,
and we cannot encourage such scenes
as that on the occasion of the comic
marriage at the State Fair without
teaching what no refined person would
think of engaging in. Even if it could
be proved that we originated in the
monkey, this would be no reason why
we should so backwards in that direc-
ton. We would honor the man who
should appear in raiment of cotton
bagging because he could afford moth
ing better, but we fail to see the virtue
there is in donning such attire on an
occasion like the one in question, just
to be made conspicous.

WHAT think our Henderson mer-
chants and business men of this: A
yearly advertisement Of one column
in the Chicago Tribune costs s26, 900 ;
in the New York Tribune, S3o,55
for the lowest, and $4,000 for the
highest rates; in the New York Herald,
sS6,2o3 for the lowest, and $4,000
for the highest priced column. And
these papers are never at a loss for
advertising to fill their columns, even
at this price. These figures will doubt
less be of interest to the man who in.
vests $40 and flatters himself with the
idea that he is liberal advertiser.
