LET Us WORK ToGATHER.

AS we are not to have Fair in our
county we would suggest that our citi.
zens take an interest in the Edenton
Agricultural and Fish Fair, which is
to take place in November next, and
which promises to be such success.
Lay aside the old luminosity which
seems to exist between the two towns,
without cause, and let US throw our
influence with the people of Edenten,
in trying to make that Fair the most
successful in the State.
Let US lbury the past and forget, If pos
sible, the unpleasantness which has ex-
listed between the two towns. Iastead
of looking upon each other as enemies,
let us be as sister towns should be.

The sentiment above expressed
meets with a most hearty response in
the heart of every Edenton NAN, native
or otherwise, now resident in our
midst. We apprehend that most, if
not, all the unpleasantness which has
hitherto existed has been entirely
due to the youth of both towns and
to indiscretions of old people made
purile, perhaps, by mean whiskey 1--WE
don't mean Plymouth whiskey espec.
iall ~ profusely indulged in.
1t is manly to forgive and forget
and, with unanimity almost singular.

as our hearts are with your hearts,
give US your hand" ."-ED

The number Of Agricultural Fairs
should not awaken apprehension
that any are unnecessary or that any,
of necessity, must fail. We would like
to see an agricultural society estab-
lished in almost every county in the
State, associating with it some of the
features Of the we'll known Goodwin
Club of Granville county. There is
enough in each county to exhibit to
make fair profitable. It is we'll
known as a fact, in competitive life,
that the more restricted the contest
the higher the excellence necessa.
nelly attained. Large expositions
become tiresome and often fail, for
the most part, in securing the ends
aimed at. What we want, especially
in the infancy Of an agricultural
Society, is to beget spirit of pleas.
ant rivaly among individuals, neigh
bors, and others, ingaged in the
same pursuit, which will serve slim
ulus leading to at least approximate
perfection in the ways and means of
agriculture fishing, SICK farming &c.
After the County fair has attained
permanency, it can be made strong
help to the State Fair at Raleigh.
Each county exposition, under
proper auspices, will become an in
valuable contributor to the State
Fair making il grand exposition of
ascertained local perfections.
We hope the members Of local
agricultural societies will not be-
come discouraged by reason of num-
bers of similar organizations even in
the same sections of the State but,
that they will take courage and de-
termine to be numbered with the
best and foremost. The Edenton
Agricultural and Fish Fair is bound
to be a success IT'S location. its
officers and its enterprising members
constitute a pleasing and safe guar
antee of the fact. We give ourselves
no anxious concern about it for, If
there is any safe index in nature and
human skill and wisdom, the fair in
Edenton next November will be
success unreserved and undoubted.
