OUR STATE FAIR.

We are in receipt of the Thirty fifth
Annual Premium List of the North Car
DINA State Fair, and from a careful
perusal, we find many new and interest
ing features not heretofore brought for
ward. The officers and general manage
ment are men peculiarly fitted to bring
out what is best and most to the inter
est of our State and people. Mr.. Julian
s. Carr, as president of the association,
is evidently 'the right man in the right
place." while the energy of Mr.. John
Nichols, as secretary, at once assures the
success of the fair. The directors OF the
various departments are gentlemen who
have been selected on account of their
peculiar fitness and qualifications fort he
duties in hand, and they are all gentle
men of marked ability in their various
industrial branches, and exhibitors are
therefore assured of the utmost courtesy
and fairness at their hands.
The Thirty fifth Annual Fair promises
to excel even the fairs of last year and
years previous, and not only few, but
all the citizens of Raleigh, are taking a
personal interest in its success; but as
it is a State fair, and not partial to any
particular section, we think it the duty
of the entire State to see that this fair
shall eclipse anything yet undertaken on
this line. 1t should he made one of the
grandest object lessons ever held up to
our people, and visitors from other
States should go away marveling at our
natural resources and industrial develop
ment.
We are informed by the management
that no trouble or expense will be spared
to secure and exhibit the products of the
State on larger and more attractive
scale than ever before.
a new feature this year will be Gan
Index to North Carolina Industries"
which is on exhibition on a small scale,
or in nutshell, " so to speak, of all
our varied industries which will be
thoroughly comprehensive to the visitor
of day.
Premiums have been so arranged that
very few, if any, of the exhibitors will
be loser by his exhibit, and in most
cases they are sure of paying premium
The railroads have kindly made their
rates lower than usual, and articles for
exhibition will only be charged freight
rates one way on presentation or a GER
tifcate from the Secretary.
The grounds, race track and buildings
have been put in the most thorough con-
dition, and the arrangements for the
care OF live stock appears to be perfect.
On Friday of Fair week there will be
an auction sale Of stock, ETC., where pur-
chasers are sure to get the very best.
From all indications the Thirty Fifth
Annual Fair promises to excel all 9th
ers, and we sincerely hope and believe
it will be a stimulus in all branches of
industry.
AS far as practicable, premiums, where
there is no contest, will he paid at the
Treasurer's Office on Friday at - m.
This is new departure
All the shows on the grounds will be
of higher order than usual, and every
effort viii be made by the management
to protect the public from sharpers.

Jack Rabbit Hunt I'm Colorado.

When the special train bringing the
visiting hunters reached Lamar there
was brass band ut the station, and
the brass band was thero when they
left. The merchants closed their
stores and the people threw open their
houses for the entertainment OF their
guests. After the hunt began, the ir-
regular discharge Of the rifles in the
sand hills around Lamar reminded one
of picket firing. When large party
OF gunners found stretch of prairie
where the rabbits were thick, the re.
port of the guns sounded like II gen.
eral engagement Though the rabbit
hunt is fixed annual event in Lamar,
and rabbits are killed by thousands,
thero seems to be no decrease in tho
number. They multiply SO rapidly
Turing the summer months that it
becomes necessary 90 mako some such
organized attack or them, for they
are becoming as great nuisance NJ
thov are in Australia. The rabbits
breed on the grassy plains above the
canals, whore they stay until their
forage fails them. They then gather
in the alfalfa fields, which accounts
for their being so numerous at this
season of the year.
At the beginning Of the hunt the
wagons began coming in at { o'clock.
and continued until 9 at NIGHT, with
hcapinp loads Of the slniu furry cne-
mics of the farmer. The cleaners be-
gan thcir wor> with the first wagon
oad, and worked hravclv, hut the odds
orcugainft them, aud they were soon
milf buried in the mass of rabbits
awaiting preparation FOR shipment At
the first days hunt fully 2oOD wcrc
killed. No wagon brought IL fewer
than 100 rabbits, and one went rs high
AZ i5O, about 5000 pounds. \ great
number of rabbits were slain which
were not brought IN. All records
were broken Mt this hunt, aud not u
single accident occurred to mar the
pleasure OF the participants.
When spring comes, AMI the fresh
green grass comes up, the lark-rabbitS
appear in large numbers, and begin
to nibblc on the bark of the young
fruit trees and the vines. Whole or.
chards are destroyed by them. If
you were to walk through large
vineyard you might not see one rab.
bit, although hundreds might bo
around you. They secrcte themselves
very clcvcrly in the grass, AMI being
50 nearly the color of the ground are
hard to detect. They lie close, with
their large ears ilNt upon their backs,
until disturbed, and one can Glmos;
walk over them before they will move.

bringing the cost of excavation down
to the low figure of one and half
cents per cubic ward. II recalls also u
neat job carried out few years ago
in the way of filling in largo area OF

water line. Large slal hills ranged
along the shore close hy these hol-
lows. The work got into the hands of

and then, by means Of II series ot boxes
aud sluices, they carried the dirt and
sand which the water washed down
from the hills out to the spot to be
filled. In this way several acres of
land were made at nn expense which
was merely nominal. The pumps and
