| One of the handsomest collections
/ of carriages, buggies, surrys and phae-

/ credited to the exhibit of the Advance
] Carriage Co, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and
/ attracted an appreciatiye crowd all
day yesterday Mr.. e. L. Hulick, who
/ has charge of the exhibit, was indie
fatigable in his efforts to properly
I display the merits of his vehicles and
/ submitted the most delicate looking
/ buggies to the seyerest tests and prov
ed their durability THE finish of
their vehicles is apparently perfect,
and the glistening surface of the pol
ished wood work, and the tempting
softness of the cushions and the thor
oughness of finish in all detail COM
bined to make them apparently per-
feet. The Advance Carriage Company
has an annual output of $4,000 vehi-
cies, and the springs, wheels and

for the term of one year. Mr.. Hulick
is obliging and clever, and wants the

0cconeechee is the browning glory
of lit ala revelation in North Caro-
lima agricultural possibilities; a real
ization of the widest dreams of all till
to the present. That such
thing is possible in this
State makes us thrill with pleasure
that we are North Carolinians, that
oud State is possessed of agricultur-
al resources which are the envy of
the world. And Col. Carr seems to have
gathered it all within the confines
of 0cconeechee, the model farm of
many States. 1T is an endless task to
describe what is offered to the eye
i'm the Occoneechee exhibit There
Is nothing you can suggest that you
cannot see. There is displayed in the
most artistic way the best and larg
est samples of all farm products: inn
possible potatoes, enormous ears of
corn, pumpkins too large to lift, the
finest varieties of all cereals, fruits
of every description, peanuts and
chufus from the ground and the wal
nut and other nuts from the trees.
The famous herd of Occoneechee sheep
contribute their wool, the famous herd
Of cattle gave the renowned Occonee-
chez butter, which is the perfection
OF the dairy maids art. The poultry
exhibit is nexcelled-everyth is
there; nothing is omitted that can be
produced from model farm. To
describe it in detail we decline to do.
1t is the creation of genius and no
future Fair can be a success without
it. All honor to its promoter and
owner. North Carolina agriculture is
indebted to him for this magnificent
presentation Of its possibilities.
