OUR COUNTY FAIR.

The great and urgent need OF the
Mobiles County Agricultural Society is
the ownership of suitable grounds On
which permanent improvements may
be placed for the accommodation of its
patrons and exhibitors At the annual
fairs. There 10 no complaint concern
Ing the ground nov occupied; they
are suitable and convenient, and most
probably would be preferred, II they
can be purchased But 30 long as the
grounds are not owned by the Society
its directors will not make permanent
or adequate improvements. The pres
ent practice is when the time for the
yearly fair approaches for the directors
to secure the loan of lumber FROM the
dealers of Worthington, with which to
erect the necessary shelters for animals
and other structures. Our lumber firms
have been exceedingly generous in &C.
commodations of this sort. But, of
course, the expense Of hauling the ma.
terial to and from the fair grounds, Of
mechanics labor in putting up and ia
king down the buildings, and the bro.
ken lumber, which, of course must be
paid for, recurs every year. Enough 10
spentsjn this way at five or six annual
fairs to pay at least one half the cost OF
the grounds. The amounts thus spent
from year to year look very much like
waste, and good farmersdo not believe
in waste. The saving from this source
alone would be considerable. Besides
the buildings put up will be convenient
for the uses the fair. We calculate
that the fscmers and other public spir-
tied citizens not only desire : fair, bnt
= creditable one. every year. Lot it bo
determined that the Annual Fair shall
have permanent home, anc that ito
annual exhibits shall not 10 excelled
BY any equity fair in the State.
