stand without parallel, as a year
of accidents, floods, loss of life and

country. No section of the country
seems to have escaped the fury OF
the floods and fires. SO far in this
year. Every day the columns OF
the dailies are filed with accidents

grand exposition of the above Asso-
citation, which will continue four
days, affording to the public an op-
portunity for enjoying four days of
continuous instruction, entertain-
ment, mirtb, recreation and amuse-
ment in the midst of the most beau
tifnl region under the sun.
So active and earnest have been
tho officers during the year past, that
the exposition will prove the most
extensive in its character. and inn
portant in all its features, that has
ever been attempted in the State;
but the names of ]. W. Windon,
President; Rankin Wiley, Vice
President; VIM. Smith, Treasurer;
John E. Beller, Secretary; and James
Capehart, John Thornburg, Rankin
Wiley, Jr., E. L. Neale, as Board Of
Directors, are a sufficient guarantee
that nothing approaching medioc-
rity need be anticipated in anything
they countenance, much less manage
and control in their energetic and
spirited way. In their card to the
public tho officers say, sour pros
poets for an excellent Fair are better
than ever before, and that they are
encouraged by the assurance of gen
tlemen capable of judging, that,
"Our Fair is unsurpassed in the
Virginias," and CALAMITY turn over
to the ladies their large share of the
praise for its excellence, and promise
in their behalf that the exhibition
halls shall continue "the beauty and
attraction they have ever been. /"
These intelligent men are deter
mined to 'smake the Fair mirror
of the advancement annually being
made in Art, Science and Industrial
pursuits, and superb display en-
blematical of our county'a progress,
prosperity and power"
Besides the various departments
consisting of exhibits of all kinds of
stock, poultry, fish, vegetables, farm
products of all kinds, including hor-
ticultural products, plants, flowers,
and besides ladies work, mechanical
manufacture, fine art, music, ETC.,
etc, without end.
The time will be enlivencd with a
variety of entertaining features
which seldom fall to the lot of the
people in such profusion.
Thoroughbred horse racing will be
one of the features of the occasion.
1t is scarcely possible for any one
to enjoy few days SO thoroughly
as by attendance upon this excecd-
ingly interesting exposition. Ger
tain it is, that the Nonparea will be
there in full force, taking as it does
an interest in all thing of value and
utility to the public.

We are panied to learn that
Blanche, the little daughter and only
child of DIR. Thos. Stuart and wife,
of Leon, is suffering from partial
paralysis. DIR. Stuart and wife,
with little Blanche, have been spend
ing time at the White Sulphur
Springs, in Greenbrier county, and
the Doctor returning a day or two
since, reports that the condition of
his little girl has greatly improved,
and entertains the hope, in common
with the opinion of the distinguished
physicians who examined her at the
late meeting of the State Medical
Association, at White Sulphur, that
the little sufferer will in time quite
entirely recover. Mrs. DIR. Stuart
and Blanche will remain yet awhile
at the White Sulphur, and then visit
around through the mountains
among the Doctors kindred and
friends, with the hope of affecting
a permanent cure of the little dar-
ling, whose mental faculties and
nervous system generally have been
over-strained with books and music.

PLACER COUNTY FAIR.
An Agricultural Exhibition of Which
Much is Expected.

An Agricultural Exhibition of Which
Much is Expected.
The first annual fair of the Twentieth
Agricultural District will open at Auburn
one week from Monday next, September
ID, and continue five days The Directors
have decided upon making the exhibition
as nearly agricultural, in the strict sense
of the word, as possible, and hope to make
a great success of it. Placer county is
coming to the front as fruit section about
as rapidly as any section of the State. A
very few years have accomplished wonders
IN this respect, and her people should work
as unit for the success of their first strictly
local fair. Referring to the matter, the
Republican saws:
The word agricultural as applied to the
exhibition districts into which the State is
divided is simply term of convenience
It is not intended to include only the pro-
ducts OF the farm, but it is the intention to
encourage and foster every possible indus
try within district. Art work has ALWAYS
been feature of so-called agricultural ex-
hlbluons, while fam products fill large
place every year at the Mechanics Insti-
tute fairs in San Francisco. Just so here.
A large part of Piacer's wealth consists of
mlnes-some of the richest mines on
the globe-and it is the privilege and the
duty OF their owners to take prominent
part in the annual fsirs of the county.
They will find that they have not been for
gotten IN the premium lists The granite.
lumber, and mill men should also be in
the front, as they can aid wonderfully in
making the fair success. The farmers
ought not to need any special invitation.
since the reputation of the county largely
depends upon what they make it. Fine
fruit and grain and stock can be shown in
abundance, and there is no reason wbv
they cannot make one of the most interest
ing displays to be seen in California this
fall, The Directors will use both Music
Hall and Bottoms Hall for payiliops this
year, The race track grounds have been
wonderfully improved tor the occasion.
Water and plenty of good stock pens have
been provided. There is ample hotel ac-
commodaiion in town for all visitors. aud
during fair week the place will be free
from the rough element which follows in
the wake OF the agricultural horse race.
AND II there is any one who does not APP
prove OF this fair all he has to do is to
Keep sll. Ii will not cost him a cent, and
the stiller he keeps the better chance its
managers will have of making ii benefit
him some in spite of his disapproval. But
1t is to be hoped that local pride and
county pride will combine to make the
first Placer county fair grand success-a
genuine attraction to visitors and a source
OF stimulation to ourselves
