The Warren County Fair.

The Warrenton fair last week was
quite success in every way. The
exhibition was good and the attend
ance large. The Record says:
The Warren County Fair for 1893
has been grand success. The -ex-
hlbit surpasses that of any preceding
fair. In the hall, the departments
OF pantry supplies, ladies' work, and
fine arts were splendid. We doubt
whether at any fair in the State they
have ever been excelled, but the
women can beat the world when they
try.
The show Of farm products was very
good, but not as extensive as it ought
to have been. The exhibit, however,
fully illustrated the capacity of Warren
county soil ogrow anything and every
thing to the greatest perfection.
In the department of stock, the
show was splendid and full, and so
also was the poultry department.
The attendance was large and every
thing passed off in the most satisfac-
tory manner.
w. A. Montgomery, Esq, on We'd
nesday, made the opening address at
the fair, and it was good speech,
following directly in line with the
policy we have been advocating con-
tlnuously through these columns. We
wish every farmer in the country could
have heard it.

ssThe Book of the FAIR


The worlds thinkers think that the
only true way to educate the young is to
arouse in them a spirit of inquiry and
investigation. They place into the
hands OF a child q piece of coral, tell him
to examine it, and ask questions about
it, to investigate its history. From the
coral the child passes on to inquiries
about the ocean, lite creatures, the coun-
tries and peoples around it. Such are
the far-reaching results of object teach
ing, if skillfully applied. In comparison
with that one little piece of coral, think
of the millions of object lessons which
were spread before the young, in the
most enticing forms, at the great Worlds
Fair; think of the millions of induce
ments offered to them to investigate the
myriad forms of life, physical and intel
lectual, savage and civilized, and, by a
surface examination of the vast picture,
to be guided into some special field OF
inquiry and action. Thus thousands OF
young people may be Influenced for life
by what they saw at the Exposition.
permanent picture than they can retain
in their memories, the millions of the
young who attended the Fair, and the
millions who did not, will be bewildered
and simply overwhelmed with the wealth
of material which is presented to them.
This is one Of the great wants filed by
Hubert H. BancrOft's Book OF the Fair.
It's graphic and artistic illustrations,
and the valuable text by which the au-
thor elucidates the pictures, and photo
graphs the entire panorama upon his
pages, will enable young and old, after
the excitement and confusion OF the
splendid event have PASSED, to feast
upon the wonders OF the Exposition in
coming years, whether they attendedit or
not, and to get out OF it the greatest
possible good. This admirable work is

each succeeding year finds summers
hotter, winters colder, rains harder,
winds more violent, hail stones larger,

The dilly-dally, shilly-shally policy
of congress in dealing with the great
questions which confront the country
and which they were called to meet,
is causing much unfavorable comment,
and the people have right to COM
plain and to evidence it as men at the
next election at the ballot box and
relegate to the rear men who will not
do their whole duty at once and legis-
late for the benefit of the masses.
Many of our people will visit Rocky

will be highly interested.

am grateful. DR.. Warren was one
of North Cardinals most worthy and
deserving men. Few such men live,

other incidents of his eventful life,

The old reliable, ever popular, always

manac, published by James H. Enniss,
Raleigh, and carefully calculated for the
latitude and longitude of North Carolina,
is out for the year 1894. For more than
half century this favorite publication,
long since recognized as standard of
it's class, has made it's annual visits to
the homes of our people, and they have
come to look for it as regularly and
as pleasantly as they anticipate the
recurring seasons. And it never fails or
disappoints. There is no other to COM
pare with it. at is the Standards The
Almanac for 1894 is larger and better
than ever. Everybody needs one, and
everybody will buy one. To the farmer
and housekeeper, it is mine of informa-
ton for the whole year. In fact, the Al
manac is valuable to everybody. In the
complex affairs of life, correct time is an
important element-everybody needs it,
all business is regulated by it. A con-
venient and handy manual of State af-
fairs is also needed for reference. We
want to know frequently who are our
State officials, when courts are held,
what is the amount of taxes, the official
State vote, and hundred other items.
All this and more you will find in
Turner's North Carolina Almanac. If
you have never had one in your house,
buy this one and hang it up by your
fireplace for reference, and you will never
go without one again. Price 10 cents.
