The circumstances are very sad indeed. The young lady was at school on Wednesday, and fell seemingly insensible; she was carried home and never spoke after she wa? first attacked. She was affected with something like congestion of the brain. Miss Barley was only nineteen years old, which makes her death and re moval from her loved ones more sad. I Her young life was snatched from her without any warning. She was a consistent member of Salem Church, and had laid the ground work of a i beautiful character. ' She was dear to all who knew her.

Its Second Annual Institute?The First Day a Most Gratifying Beginning?Elaborate Display of Exhibits of Farm Products, Delicacies, Stock and Poultry, and Exhibitors and Exhibits?Award of Premiums and Diplomas. Owing1 to the fact that the farmers were engaged in this beautiful weather in picking their cotton, and the tardiness with which the exhibits for the second annual Institute of the Fairfield Agricultural Society came in. the Executive Committee showed by their anxious countenances, on Tuesday, the day before the Institute, that they feared the affair would not close with that degree of success, which it is now destined to do. Every cloud of despondency, however, was dispelled on "Wednesday morning. By breakfast, wagon after wagon, with cotton bales, with boxes of preserves, wines, etc., with coops of chickens of evenbreed, literally crowded the street in front of the Court House, in which they were to be displayed, and a most magnificent exhibition and die play they made. On all sides were j were heard words of commendation and laudation of the committee, and expressions of astonishment at what old Fairfield could do when she exerted herself. At 11.30 A. M. the Winnsboro Cornet Band assembled on their stand, in the Coui i House yard. This indicated that the formal opening of the Institute was near at hand. The crowd soon began to collect, and after a number of pieces of music, in which, by the way, the band sustained their high reputation, the Court House became filled with ladies and gentlemen. After an appropriate prayer by the ?>-- ? *?- ? nr.. 7 "VT Iiev. A. lUCci. ? 1LUIIUU, iUI. xu. Biggin?, 1st. Vice-President, in the absence of President T. L.

Johnson Hagood, who was received with a round of applause, and still another loud applause, when Maj. Woodward, at the conclusion of the formal introduction by Mr. lliggins, cried oat, "Renowned in war, and distinguished in peace." Gen. 11agood then proceeded to deliver his interesting lecture on "stock raisins,"' which will be found in the supblement. At the conclusion of Gen.

AVe would fail to give a true account of the Institute, if we did not mention the tine exhibition of stock. This feature is a new one and was no less creditable than the magnificent show- j ing made in the Court House. It certainly teaches this most practical lesson viz: that Fairfield can raise her own horses, colts and cows. Then again we would grossly detract from the merits of the Institute, if we 7 I did not include the extensive array of chrysanthemums, which by their beauty and artistic arrangement furnished a variety of scene, beautiful and attractive to the eye. For the existence of this department of the Institute, to the ladies credit is to be accorded. xne lonowing a, um ui muhuio and exhibitors: J. M.

This is perhaps due to ihe entire satisfaction given on tne first day, and 110 doubt many of the attendants 011 Wednesday had silently resolved that they would make a ijood report to their friends and induce them to be present at the session 011 Thursday. Then there is probably another item to be taken into consideration in accounting lor the increased audience 011 Thursday; and that is, many did not fully realize how much good could be accomplished iu these meetings, where every one is made to fee! unembarrassed and nrged without pomp of ceremony or formality to discuss in a * ?fe and easy manner matters of paramount importance to farmers. At any rate whatever may have been the cause, it suffices to know that the Court House had more people in it on the second day; and what is, perhaps, more important, the work was remarkable for the interest and enthusiam evinced. By 11.30 a. m. Mr. J. "\Yr. Seiffler, j although requested to do so not more than a half hour earlier, had his band collected on the stand. The promptness with which the members I ... ? . , . assembled?some 01 inem even closing their stores?and the excellent music rendered, made the band the recipient of high compliments from more than one of the spectators; to say the least, the music of the band added a greatdeal to the pleasure of the occasion, and it is not amiss to say that time and again, n various oc^as ions, the band has proven itseif to be worthy of all encouragement and support. The Institute was opened with a fitting prayer by the Rev. J. G. Glass. Mr. J. M. Higgins then introduced the speaker of the day, Dr. W. B. Buruev, professor of chimestry in the State University and State Chemist. Dr. Bnrnev, in his usual pleasant manner, prefaced his essay by a few remarks, una among otuer inings saiu that one of the best schools he had ever attended was at Gladdeu's Grove, and that he had lived in Winnsboro for a short time; this being true, he could claim lo have been an inhabitant of Fairfield, atid, therefore, did not feel that he was in a strange land. Dr. Barney then read a most admi| rable and useful essay on 4iStock Feed1 ing," going minutely, though not i tedwnsly, into the relative values of j different kinds of foods for stock, j His essay was remarkable for the | lucid style in which it was written, I a .wl h ?n<rtru*z ho m.ide ner j ?UVi VJJ llivvtivvuw* *vv J. : fectly plain the technical terms used, i and carried home many important j facts so otten ignored. ; At the conclusion of his essay, he j was besieged " with questions, which he promptly answered with the same clearness in which his paper was written. Many of those present also gave bits of their experience, and it can be safely said the few hours weie passed very profitably. AFTERNOON SESSION. j At the afternoon session Uiose ooj taining premiums and diplomas were 1 announced. It was decided that (he j exhibits of the field crops be carried j to the State Fair to compete tor the ! $100 prize offered to the county makI ing the best exhibit, and in t;ase the ! ezhibits sent by the society should be ! the winner the premium is to ! be held by the treasurer. j A committee consisting of J.Q.

It was the good fortune of the canvassing agent of The News and Herald to spend part ol a day ai La Grange, the farm of Mr. John G. Mobley.. in the Gladden Grove section of this couuty. La Grange was the home of Mr. Mobley's father, and has always been known as one of the most valaahle farms in the Waterce belt, where some of the most fertile lands in the State lie. The limestone characteristic j make tbern particularly well adapted j to the cultivation of grasses and for i stock raising-. Mr. Moblev has^spared neither time nor expense in farm improvement, and the management is quite up to that of the many progressive young farmers who are beginning to come to the front. The lands, not in cultivation. are fenced off into four seperate stock ranges. In one of these a herd of thoroughbred Guernseys roam, lazily nipping, in their aristocratic way, the tender blades of the luxuriant Bermuda grass. The herd numbers seventeen, and is one of the finest in fhn pnnnfrv. liflvino- been selected with ""v vv V4"v' J 7 O great care?somc of tliem being immigrants from the little island in the English channel made famous by the high grad3 of milch cows developed there. These "blue bloods" are all registered, esch with a pedigree reaching back for generations. Wherever exhibited, they have taken the blue ribbon, and will probably be sent to the State Fair this month. It is interesting to see how well these cows are trained, each one knowing exactly where it is expected to stand in the stables, and gently holding out their htad?, they allow themselves to be stanchioned for'he night. The other ranges are used lor pasturage for the -common herd." The hands on the place were engaged in sowing oat?, the proprietor being a believer in the economy of that crop. An advocate of fall preparation. Mr. Mublev is preparing to have all of the land to be cultivated nexl; year, thoroughly broken during the fall months. Besides an average crop of cotton. La Grange has produced this year an abundnnt harvest of corn, peas, potatoes, fodder, and more hay than the many quadrupeds, on the place will require for the winter.
