It is thought to have been equal to any collection erer shown In tbis County. Doable and singls barueus teams, horse back riding by ladies and gentlemen end racing were the special attractions, and for tbe time this department claimed the largest crowd. At 3 o'clock P. M.. the business men'a parade, beaded by a baud of music, moved down Main Street. Special mention should be made of the handsome float of A. M. Hill * Sons. It represented Columbus presenting to ibe King and Queen of ftpaln, a Columbus buggy. Mr. Lewis Blount and Miss Mounle Sign were the King and Queen of Spain. H. M. Tata, tbe grocer, deserveii special mention also. Tbe general exhibition of harness and saddle homes was of a high order and would have been a creditable display at any State fair. We were pleased to note the large exhibit of County raised horses and mules. Th l?depart men t was tbe center of attraction each day, and promises greater interest In the future. The cattle, sheep, and swine department was an improvement on last year. We noticed one hog that wan a counterpart of one we saw at Biltmore ?Vanderbllt's farm. Surely tbia fine exhibit marks tbe passing of tbe " raont h*Kk " Tbe display of field crope wm bettei than heretofore ; all going to show thai the formers ere wide awake in interact of diversified crope. Tbe poultry department was alive with fine specimens, from snow wbiU turkeys and large Plymouth Rocks, down to tbe frisky bantams and fontail pigeons. Everybody enjoyed tbii department. A special exhibition of dogs wnt held; dog* of every size and sbap< were there, from the frizzly face poo die to tbe giant mastiff. ' We were e? pedaliy Impressed with tbe larse Nee Foundiand, owned by Mr. J. H. Mor rab.ofMt. Carmel. Its rich coat o black hair waa mild eoough, but tbow eyea and ita huge body were Bufflciem inty Fair. ;op!e Come to See ul Exhibits. j X)D OLD TIME. .1 Havmor < vuy x xuuw ui *?*?***& nds in Town. ?

Fraser Lyon, 8ecGeneral Manager, closed Friday after* < For the ^managers and all concerned. 1 direction, but It remained for the last 1 10,000 people. tbe clear autumn sun was setting did I crowd disperse. The program opened ' with an open-air couoert by the Pink* J the following address of welcome by , I i warning. In striking contrast was I j the slender greyhound owned by Mrs. I i J. H. Bradley. It was a beauty, and I possesses rare intelligence. i HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT. ' i This exhibit was also larger than us- \ ua\ Tbe profusion of canned fruits, , jellies, pickles,, cakes, etc., was a ( oeautiful demonstration of skill In that department. Indeed, it would be difficult to determine where the premium belongs, so extensive and Attractive was the display. Fruits and vegetables were various, and showed the wonderful possibilities in this line throughout our section of country. Our home raised butter, , lard, soap, flour, meal, etc., were evi- , deuces or our growing independence. , i m i FLORAL DEPARTMENT. ! This exhibit baa assumed such pro- j portions that it became tbe admi- i ration of all eyes. From the stately i palm leaf fern down to tbe delicate J maiden hair; from the^large vase of < elegant cryMmtbemuma to the mom i delicate gerauium, all vied with each >tber for flnit honor. A goodly number of the cboioest specimens came from the country. One gentleman i iving eight miles out, brought a | handsome bunch of dahlias and renew- I eu luem eacn uay. i i ??? , NEEDLE AND FANCY WOBK. ! From ? man's standpoint, thin department presented a veritable " mystic n are " of beauty, but to ft woman, i it was all understood. \ Tbe wonderful display of silk uuilts, ( knitting, netting, crochet, drawn | jrork, batten burg, bom i ton Jftoe, em- i broidery in ailk, linen and cotton was I a revelation of sklil. We remember, \ especially. one baby's dress and two lace handkerchiefs made by an old lady 79 years old. It was perhaps the moat delicate of all in that department. \ We noted a beautiful latting kerchief | and knitted baby ahoes, both by old t ladies whoee bands have retained their i skill as the years go by. e M FINE ART DEPARTMENT. . i c We all love pretty pictures and were a not disappointed. 80me of this work c was by amateurs and showei genuine i merit; other piece* were by trained t Viunrlu anH Inairfcirtui hrnuhna Wo enjoyed especially the piece of tapestry, tbe figure 0/ a woman, painted by our art teacher, Mies Alfred, of ' Marion. ' It is not too much to say that tbe 1 exhibit of band painting china from 1 tbe Williamston Female College was a 1 perfect gem and would have done 1 credit to any college display in our f country. 1 The llrowny and Tacky Parade on ' Thursday morning furnished much ' genuine merrimeut for tbe good natur- ' ed crowd. Some of the youngster* were walking, Home riding oxen, 1 some in ox carts, some ou horses, some ' on goats?all marching to tbe tuue of 1 dixie. Some represented "Uncle 8am," some were dremed as women? ; all adding to the amusing and gratesque picture. Perhaps the moat unique ' attraction of the Fair wan the School's Parade on Friday, children of every xize, from tbe little boy in his first pants to tbe young lady in the senior claw were in line, all from the city ' schools sntl surrounding country. Each grade carried an artfotic flag and - class colors. Special mentlou should 1 be made of Prof. Htlllwell's school of * Mt. Carmel, which was here in a body ' and prerented a handsome appear' ance. The procession started from the enul 1 ed wchool building sud wm headed by ) the band of music. Thin line of march was continued down through the i * square and ended in the Court House, r completely Ailing the building. After ' a few appropriate remarks, president! r Blake introduced the apeaking of the > occasion, Prof. Johu G. Cliukscalen, of * Wo fiord College. He began by saying that the president bad invited him to make a speech with one four! *ense and four fourths nonsense. F Hueceetled in his undertaking and f< half an hour te ktyt the children i uproarouH applause. Among h many glfta, he has the tact or ente taining both youngaud old. Hia at drettn wm admirably adopted to tt occasion and won the praise of it entire audience. The children the dispensed and enjoyed the varioi attractions. The floral parade at four o'clock wi awaited with great iotereHt, and tfa ihouaanda of people who encircled tt Mjuareand crowded the many balcoi lea, windowa and boune tops, were n< liHappolnted.

Each night the crowds asa?mble igain to witness the splendid dlspla it Are works which were varied iu d< ilgus and captured the crow< Athletic sports also interspersed tb program of the Fair. Thus ended tt most successful public enlertainmen jver held io Abbeville county, and 1 he manager* and public generally lue the highest praise. BDSIHE8S MEN'S PABADE. A. M. HILL A SONS.

Kcrpt, dying r?IhitopaWL A geotlemao acquainted with Colo* Del Realf, relate* a story told by him when the two spent a night in conversation, criticisms and recollections, over a cosy fire and warm decoctions. He spoke of the night be/ore the battle of Cnickamauga, In 1863, at which General William Haloes L.jUe rell. The two, Realf and Lytle, lay together in the General's tent. They were both given to writing poetry, ana each bad an unfinished poem on hand, and they read and criticised each other's efforts humorously for some time, when Lytle said : *' Realf, I shall never live to finish that poem." " Nonsense," said I, "you will live to write Voiumee of such stuff." "A feeling has suddenly come over me," continued the General solemnlv, "which Is more startling than a prophecy, that I shall be killed In tomorrow's UffUU ai x apua* 10 yuu, x mmw MJ? green bills of Ohio, as if I stood among tbem. They began to recede from me, in a weird way, and aa they disappeared, the conviction flatbed through me, like tbe lightning's shook, that I would never see tbem again." " I rallied blm for his superstition, but tbe belief bad become strangely Impressed upon his mind, and be suooeeded In sc far thrilling me with bis own unnatural fear, that I begged him to finish his poem before be slept - " In tbe small hours tbe General awakened me from a slumber, into which I bad fallen, to read to me that beautiful poem, which most live as long as our literature survives. "My eyee filled a 1th tears as be read. He said not a word as be concluded, placed tbe manuscript In his pocket, and lay down to sleep. Before dawn, came tbe call 'to arms.' When I 'next saw poor Lytle be was cold in death, among tbe heapa of slain. I thought of tbe poem, and, searcDing me pocxn wuere x uau ma bim putit, drew it forth, and It was forwarded, among other things, to his * friends. It is ss follows: 1 an dying.
