! tlon OF District FAIR, and so ably seconded
by 80. p. G." The voice of the public will
be unanimously, "Let us have it by all
means" And the only thing necessary to
put it under successful accomplishment is for
your capitalists, merchants, traders, farmers
and mechanics, to call mass meeting, form
a joint stock company as a District Agricul
tural Society and announce the important
fact to the Industrious and goa head a-tive
citizens of neighboring counties, There
need be no fear of a want of interest in it,
or of things to show provided the Directors
get up a liberal premium list and appoint
judges of character and good discrimination.
People will flock in with their brag stock,
farming and dairy products, home manufae-
lures, &c


L will not here attempt to discuss tue ques
ton as to which is best, joint stock compa-
ny or public society, exclusively under the
Management of agriculturists; but may be
allowed to suggest, that Marysyille, as a city,
could do no better thing than to encourage
an enterprise of this kind, which would SO
largely increase her business and rebound to
the general prosperity of her inhabitants -
How could the farmers of Yuba and Sutter
counties do anything more to thier advantage
than to assist, literally, in placing a society
of this sort upon permanent footing.


1t is well known that in the older States
fairs are not only an advantage and a source
of profit to merchants, manufacturers, &C.,
more to encourage the raising of blooded
stock and the production of the best fruits,
grains and vegetables in one year than the
cid system of letting things take their own
course did in FIVE And besides, the capacity
and adaptabilty of soils is more easily found
out, and shrewed emgrans can more unering.
ly judge of where to locate by Agricultural
Fairs than any other means The variety
and quality of the products is advertisement
sufficient for any section of country, and new
er fails to make favorable impression in
section like ours if the fairs are kept up till
the whole farming and trading public be-
come imbued with the spirit and progress
which they naturally engender. Let's have
the Fair


1t may not be uninteresting to your read
ers to state that the citizens of our county
still have plenty of elbow .room plenty fat
cattle, sheep hogs and babies, in either of
which it will compete against California and
"the rest of mankind" A recent visit to the
Butte Mountains convinced me that Sutter
has not only the most stock of any other
county, but just as fine wheat and barley, and
as romantic scenery as there is any need of
To be convinced of this it will only be neces
sary to join our May Day Party from Yuba
City, and pass q day amid the cool, quiet
dells of the aforesaid mountains imbibng de-
licious, fresh mountain air and water, and
lounging meath the shade of the lovely for
ests, or climbing the dizzy height of the big
Butte. Will you?


Politically, we are cas- calm as a May
morning" The Lecomptonites having all
the loaves and fishes, in the way of fat offices
the Dougasites are too independent to beg
for the crumbs, or even to let their mouths
water, extensively. However, there are a
few things in this line worthy of note. Our
clever friend, jim Smith, is up for the Le-
compton nomination for Representative, and
ditto with our obliging County Clerk, Mr..
WilcoXon. 1t is also whispered around that
Geo. Fronk is out for Assessor. He is as
clever as they grow anywhere. He will be
opposed by Mr.. Hamblen, the present incum-
bent Sheriff Kennard is out for re election
and will doubtless have "a foe worthy of his
steeP in the person of Mr. Stewart LET
em rip"-the fellow that leads will come out
a head in all probability. It's said that the
Republicans intend to have finger in the
pie. Wen see what we shall see-that is if
the dust don't pevent


Yours, unmitigatedly, "CARL"
