This is q new candidate for public
patronage and favor. Sixty days ago
the beautiful grounds nov literally
covered with buildings. tentE and PEG
pie was a forest pasture and field.
There are now three substantial build,
ings on the ground suitable to the uses
of the association. A good fence sur-
rounds the grounds. Commodious and
we'll arranged stables are filed with
race horses of royal lineage. Toe stalls
for cattle, sheep and swine are much
less numerous and not at all preten~
tious. The interest in these latter sub
stantial lines Of live stock has yet to
be developed here.
The Fair has been opened to day IN
der very favorable auspices. Admiral
9chley has been in attendance at the
opening and at this writing, 800 p M,
Tuesday, November 7th, is dining with
a party Of about thirty members in a

There are I've herds of jersey cattle,
including one from Biltmore, North

Pennsylvania. Several breeders will
compete with Blltmore Farms for
Berkshire prizss.
The Northern sheep breeders, Messrs.

Davis Bros, Dyer, Ind, will have no
competition in any of the classes they
are so we'll fitted to meet candidates for
honors in, namely: 8 outhdown, Dor

all the classes for which premiums are
offered. These gentlemen are we'll

the STATE Fair at Raleigh for several
years past with stock of most of the
above named breeds.
Since writing the above We have met

William c. X. Wilde, the younger
brother Of Oscar Wilde, who died in
London several days ago, came to New
York after marrying RS. Frank Les
lie in 1891 with the intention Of writ
ing for publication. He had been con-
nected with various English papers in
a desultory fashion for several years,
but had never displayed any marked
ability as a writer. Mr.. Wilde was
tall, young and of pleasant address.
His style of writing did not commend
itself to any of the New York news
papers, and during his stay in New
York he was apparently man of leis-
ure, spending most of his time at the
Lotus club. The divorce which freed
Mrs. Leslie from her English husband
was not unexpected by the men who
knew him.

old gentleman who goes into town
every morning on the 30 train. do ~
know his name, and yet it does seem as
if knew lin better than anybody else
in town. He just radiates cheerful
ness as far as you can see him. There
is always smile on his face, and
never heard him open his mouth except
to say some kind or courteous or good
natured thing. Everybody bows TO him,
even strangers, and he bows to every
body, yet never with the slightest hint
Of presumption or familiarity. 1t just
warns the cookies Of ones heart to see
his shining face, the twinkle of his eye,
and the bright little flower he always
wears in his buttonhole. If the weather
is fine, his jolly compliments make il
seem finer; and if it is raining, the
merry way IN which he speaks of il is

There's nothing else to distinguish it
from the S:45, or any other. You just

human sympathy which this young
lady paid TO the overfowing kindliness
of the Sunshine man" There are a
few such men-and women, too-in
every community, ana God seems to
have set them there to keep the rest of
the people from getting too sour and
despond6n; and self-absorbed and un-
neighborly. They are the divinely-ap-
pointed promoters of optimism, these
sunshine folk. Most people have a
tendency to grow somber as they grow
older--especially when they are abroad
among strangers. One glance at the
faces of people in any street ear will
prove Abs. Standard.
