FAIR NOTES.

The live stock feature of fair
is always a popular one A long
row Of stalls filled with the
choicest possessions of stock
raisers, is an attraction that is
always inviting and interesting,
and & grand parade Of premium
animals is a scene that has nc
superior.
The exhibits at a fair fan Our
zeal for knowledge, and call our
attention forcibly to the living
problem Of industrial and agri-
cultural education.
While we are extravagant IN
the description and praise of the
Edenton Fair, yet we risk moths
ing in saying that everybody
who visits it this year, will find
what they see III reality far ex-
ceeding any conception Of it
/. formed from reading this paper.
Our American genius has Gre
ated peculiarly American in>
stitution in our agricultural fairs,
and nobody should permit our
show for this year to pass by
without it's having a chance tc
exert upon him to the widest
extent, all its enllghtening and
elevating influences.
We aim not only to equal all
former exhibitions. but to excel
any and all of them. The best
proof of the sincerity Of our pre-
tentions can be found by attend
ing the fair this year, and testing
for yourself, by comparing i
with the exhibitions you have
witnessed upon our grounds il
previous years.
