Corn stockings are now in or
der, but the old fashioned husk-
ings, with 'simmon beer and
roasted "taters" and walking the
corr pile, giving out a "holler,"
&C., has been relegated to the
past, and given way to tho more
modern way of doing things, and
in many instances corn piles too
small to walk very far.
Our State Fair this year was
calculated to arouse the strongest
emotions of pride in the breast of
every true North Carolinian, and
cause him to feel a deeper love
and interest in our grand old
States future than ever before.
And at the same time, cause our
hearts to overflow with thankful
ress to the Oliver of every good
and perfect gift that we have such
a goodly heritage in a State SO
rich with resources. On every
hand we hear nothing but praise,
the general verdict being that it
was the best in the history of
our State.
"George," the faithful horse
who did service for DR.. Crawford
during his ten years active prac-
tice among the hills of Western
North Carolina, and was greatly
admired by every n for his
beauty and style in harness and
under the saddle, died last Tues
day. He was nearly 80 years old,
and FOR some time, had retired
from practice, and was faithfully
serving DR.. Crawford's father,
COL. Crawford, who had become
very much attached to him. In
fact, he had become one of the
family. Below we append some
lines suggested by Col. Crawford,
who was as much wrought up
over his death as was little Hazel,
DR.. Crawford's little six year old
daughter.
Old George is dead Z that good oldhorse.
Wen never drive him more,

And q little higher before.
