Only pointers and setters were on exhibition, and ut each point of the "star," a iiog was placed. The Horse nnil Cattle Show. The exhibitions of dogs, liogs, sheep, and the like were good, but the horse and cattle show In the respective ring< was the grand at jairoj in<;u<-i-HiM<>n,uiiu me in..-. , part of the day's programme, A larger show A)t line animals was never hud in Abbeville county, ?.r, as for that matter, In Columbia or j 4,-lsow here Willi in the borders of tins State, j The best piirt of the exhibit, too, lay in tiie I fact, that the animals exhibited were of the! jnost liseinl of the domestic animals, and the j individual specimens were of the liriest and j L_ Jiioet useful of their speelcs.

This act alone Is worth y of special mention to tile credit of the good people of Ninety-Six, who nre thy lirsf t< iiriiii a great Fair to which everybody was in vited to its licnellts without cost.

Ilesides a great uuiuhcr of feats which had lieen prepared for such persons as might desire to sit down and rest while looking on at the Show, thirteen barrels of frei?h well water was distributed at suitable or convenient places in different parts of the park, inte each of which fifty pounds of ice was put, sii that the sweltering crowd found the best ol Ice-water on every hand, and in every partol I he grounds.

Any account of the grop.t Slock Show at Nmciy Si\ Would li* incomplete, which ilitl not refer to the commendable spirit Willi which many of the colored people entered their stock in generous rivalry with their white neighbors. It is also a notable fact that the colored people '.>.>re oil' a full sh.i re ol the premiums. The olllcial reports, we believe, do not specify which were colored ex hihitors, hui we net this information from oik of the Kxeeiitivo Committee, who knows tin exhibitors, ami can verify whereof we speak, The OI<l War Horse belonging to Mr. John l'arkman, of F.dgeflehl county, was a cuiiosily which attracted amuch atlenlion and created as much talk a* anything' else which wusexhihltcd last Thursday. This horse has reached I ho extreme oM ageof thirty-three. and is now known as Hit "Woolly Horse," from the fact that his hail about three years ayo assumed a wool-like appearance. He moves as well as many a horse of younger years,but he is no longer a thing of,beauly, although he may have been a joy lo lis owner long ago. 'J'hls old hors? was ridden through the Confederate war by l?r. I>an. Ilolloway,assistant surgeon of South Carolina Infantry. < ol. Craj'lon'N Spooch. Col. B. F. Crayton, ol Anderson, delivered an address suitable for the occasion, which was well considered, and no doubt highly appreciated by those who heard it. Colonel Crayton expressed the belief that Ninety-Six lands. Ninety Six people, and Ninety-Six cattle and horses were the finest in the world, and we believe lie spoke the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Many Distinguished fiiicwts from a distance lent the honor of their prosonce to the occasion. Among others, .Indue Aldrtch. (iciieral M-oitgmilt, Hon. \y. u, I'arkor. :imi l?r.

As instance of the material good that lias been done ti/somo of {lie people of NlnctySix.and as proof that other sections have beeu benefitted by the incidental Introduction of line stock, we presume that it would not be amiss to mention that much of tlx. stock which was exhibited was sold to visitors. \\V had hoped to get a list of the silk's but failed to do so and hence can report only a chance sale here and there. It is with pleasure that we note the facts that tlio managers of tlie Fair for next year will profit by their experience this year and will at that time have a day set apart for auction sales, and a moans ot keeping a record of all transfers of stock will be provided. Among tlx sales which were made last Thursday we would note: A tine llrst premium grade Ayrshire and l>evon milk cow and half Jersey heiferca'.f belonging toCipt. K. F. Mcf'av. inn, to Mr. lirury 1$.

THE WONDERFUL ENERGY OF ITS CITIZENS?THE MARVELOUS GROWTH OF THE PLACE. Some Fnets uinl I'lsnros Pruritic iltc (urrri'liicM of tlie Above Statements. Althoti'.'ii all the elements of growth l'C' inaiued with the place from the earliest day ol the iirrivnl ?>i the trains over the < >ro< nvilu and Columbia Itailroad, yet Tin* town made 110 perceptible growth lor twenty-live years, ami its possibilities lay dormant until the arrival ol new men, who infused new life into the tow n. The einiiilrlnar tnind will naturally look for the cause of this siuluun development and growth of the old town, and we think the reason may he seen at a glance. .Mr. I'ope, Messis, Phillips A Jackson, Moore ?v QiuuU-s, T. C Lipscomb, E. M. Lipscomb, and others, came to town, each bringing the capital, business tact and enemy, which made this a most excellent business centre to which the people came for many miles to do their trading. At llie time these men opened business here Ihc planters in Laurens county and in the neighborhood of Nincly-SIx, as a rule, carried their cotton on wagons through Hit town of Ninety-Six to the city of Augusta, Mr. I'ope saw that this practice was ruinous lb the planter und Injurious to the merchant, and lie resolved to oroalc It up. It was not long thereafter until his business tact Was put to the test. A train of thirty wagons load' <1 with cotton was passing the town one day, lie hailed the owners s.nd proposed to them that he would sell thorn groceries and buy their cotton at Augusta prices, and be governed by the rates-as published by the last Issue of tile Augusta dully paper. The proposition was accept!d. The cotton was bought, the groceries were supplied, and on the return ol the Laurens farmers lo tlu ir homes, the fame of Pope and Ninety-Six was known of all men, and from that time forward Mr. Pope, and other merchants, held an immense trade with the people of Laurens. The trade from our sister county was so great that the enterprising merchants of Ninety-Six kepi a free ferry across the Salu la- for the use of tliclr customers, and afterwards sonu of iIn? patriotic citizens of tin; town secured the money cliiell.v by private subscriptions with which the present free bridge at Wall's Kerry was liuilt, and now stands as a meat public convenience anil as a uionumenl to the enterprise ami public spirit of tlie merchants ami other business men of KinelySlx. Through tlie enterprising anil liberal spirit of tin; new merchants of Ninety-Six, sales of cotton in thetown was increased from about l,iKM bales to much hnver figures?J he number reaching iu one si mile year as highas in,(mi bales, but now since the completion ol tlie Air I.iue and the I,aniens railroads the trade has fallen oil to about <> or T.ihm bale* annually. From the above statements it will be seen that the merchants who opened stores iu t lie town about tenor twelve years airo, nut new life into it, and gave it an impetus which developed 111 it an uiiju codicil led growth. The merchants and other business men at that place llushid with their gie.il. m.cce-s sought newer and greater < oiinncsts.

In October. I8S>I. we propose to have another Fair. Mint trust that we will be better prepared for it. h'or the present wc will dismiss the subject. One of tl?e most amusing things that oc^' purred lust Thursday was Ihe Introduction of I he famous woolly horse ridden by lJr. l>*\fd llolloway through the entire war. He (tho liorse) Ih more than thirty-five yerrs old and iftllopod around the ring like a colt, Tim wool on this noise, for it Is not half. Is about four Inches long. In currying him the morning ol' the Fair his gr>Miin saved aliout one pound of lone hair or wool which was also 3shlbilcd. lie was ridden in the ring by Mr. fames M. Park man of Edxcfleld. barebacked, lie In his shirt sleeves. The committee had not? left tho ring and they called him up and gavo III in tho blue ribbon. Miss Sarah Lawton of Hampton county Is visiting Miss Mamie ltogers.

Fifteen hundred dollars were subscribed on nst Saturday for the purpose of establishing' i Fair Association at this place. The book* ire still open and shares are ten dollars. Andy at once before all the shares are lakon. II s a good Investment. Pi of. William Hood was at our Fair. Mrs. James N. King received first premlnm 'or lite best display of fruits and vegetables. The entertainment given by the ladles of he Methodist church 0:1 last Wednesday ' light was a success. Now we would like totnow why It Is not hotter to encourage home- j nlcntand home i nsti till loos, tliau si rangers f;" I'lioir receipts wUV tic kept ami c*X|?cn?i?^ id for wlso and1 bonevolent puTT^js whtloin the otber hand it would go out ofuNcoun* y and lor doubtful purposes. I)r. J. ('. Maxwell nrououueed our Fnlr iicc08s. We n re under mniiy obligations to the young] nen who compose the Abbeville llnnd fori heir kindness in coming down nnd plnylngi or us, nnd sorry we could not show then* noro attention. They are all our nelghboitf" ,nd friends, nnd wo hope they will Uike the' vl11 for li'ie di-c*J. l)r. H. 1). Wilson's cotton planter received. 8 It instly deserved, much notice ?itour Full# ^ 'he Doctor has our kindest wishes, nnd we lope, as we believe, it will be a success. The stalk of cotton exhibited by Mr.S troth- : r of Kductleld, whs a wonder. It is called t heHtrothor Prolific aDd ba&bmi improved y Mr. Strother. Dr. jJ.-C. TuiuWm of rhlgefleld was nt the 'ivfr and seemed ngreeably surprised at tho no displiiy of stock. The rain last Sunday evenlnu stooped 11)6 i rumbling all nronnd, settled the dust, and ofreshed tho guttering vegetation. Lilessed re we poor, ungrateful creatures. Mr. J.uncs llogers, Jr.rht?li)ped a handsomealt" Jersey heifer to Mr. \\ . It. ITtsey of.St. ' icorge'c, S. t". Mr. Lewis M. Moore's half ersey beat this heifer at the Fair, still I : lilnk Mr. Mcorc Is tnore comfortable slnco he lelt, hs it. will preclude the chances of i>ikpetlnk with her a year hence. Mr. Uiwj i ? a line Judtre of stock, besides boioit. one ??f . le mcesi aim iiiu?v agrcvauiu (ififiimilieu mo tj tive nut In a long tirue. Such inon iu any / ountry is for the country's good. Mr. K. S. Addison or Edpefleld, through dhic misunderstanding, did not gel his stock n exhibition. Wo are very sorry and desire i express the regrets of the Executive Com- . litle. We personally Inspected Ills stock < nd well know that ho lost many t)lue rib- " ons by the mistake. Ills handsome pair of >' ay carrlttgo horses, grade Jersey, Durnnni ? nd Devon cattle, Ihoadtail Cotswuld and $ lerlno sheep deserve special mention. Mr. i ddison takes grent pride In having every* ling tiie best. Another year He will bo ?' .'adyaml tho*e competing against lilm can ell look out for his exhibits. Tho Jersey and Ilolstein men ?re vlelnc Ith each other, und each orgucs for his o\rn urtieulnr fancy. This Is all very well eo tngas wc eontlne ourselvesto the truth. No inn need expect to advance his cattle in tho ivor of tho public by underrating other reeds. I'raise your own as much as you lease, but. be careful not to say anything dlsiraglng about your neighbors, for tills would : mean. The country Is long enough and Ide enough for t lie Hoistein, the Jersey and I other breeds, in fact this Is wlint wo ant?a variety, so that we may adopt and iltl vute tlio most desirable. The ladles of the Presbyterian church were >ry successful on the day of the Fair In- -j ed. Their receipts were large and will bo (vi .ted in good purpose.
