Farms. The best bull premium, for
aged animals, was taken by McLaurie
Bros. of Portlandville. n. Y. This
days work winds up the awarding of
premiums. and there is to be a grand
parade of stock around the race
track. The stock will remain for sew
eral days longer on view. and will
then be dispersed to their homes, after
the finest display of stock ever made
in the South. Our Southern farmers
have not given it the attention it de-
served, but theirs is the loss. 1t will
be long before such an opportunity Of
fers again.
On the 2Sd inst the great poultry
and pet stock show opens, and will
have about $500 entries from all over

play and worthy the attention of all
interested in such stock. At this sea-
