L LAURENS FAIRS the Southern Cultivator repetition. On Friday, September 24, we attended their 29th annual exhibit of agricultural products, ladies' fan cy work, poultry, cattle and hogs, and horses. They hold this fair on the last Friday in September, and have never been rained out. On this occasion the morning was cloudy, but the clouds passed away and the day was all that could be asked for. We have attend ed many fairs, but we have never seen such an exhibit of horse flesh as they have at Fairview. They start judging the various entries-43 in number at 9 o'clock and continue until five. Shetland ponies, colts of various ages, saddle horses, buggy horses, stallions, brood mares, mule teams, single and double, all are there in numbers (some 300 or more), and of the highest qual ity. We do not believe any place in the South can show as much fine horse tJ]sh, unless it be Lexington, Ky. We know the cotton belt can not excel it. N(dk the lesson to draw from the fair is his: See what long years of work 'long any given line will do for I peolie. These l alImers have beell talught to apprecliat goo( hiorses, to tIalke a special pride in havin ftint tocik.

C., attending their annual fair held at this place. The setting of the -Lau rens Fair, in our opinion, could not be excelled. It was held in a pasture the creek marked the boundary on one side, a level Bermuda sod gave ample room for the exhibits of agricultural products, the grand stand, and the ring for the judging 'of horses In their va rious classes. On the far side a hill makes a regular amphitheater and along the foot of this hill they had made a walk-way and just above this was arranged the exhibit of dogs, rabbits, pets, chickens and turkeys, while below this walk you had the cat tle and hogs. This is a true fair, edu cationally and socially. They have but one day-no entrance fees. All free and sonie for or five thousand people gathered here, looked at the livestock and the agricultural Ioducts, watched the Judging of the horses, had a good dinner, saw all their neighbors, had a good ie and wveit home the next dilay to gather their crops an1d Son their grain.
