A SPLENDID DISPLAY. Notwithstanding the bad condition of the weather, the Fair opened WEDNESDAY, 22ND, under very favorable circumstances. The number of entries amounted to NTNE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT. The greatest display was in the Stock de partment, the department which the country at large is most interested in, and the cultivation of which is chiefly calculated to develop general prosperi ty.-There was a considerable sprinkling of blooded stock both among horses and cattle. The display of South Caro lina raised horses was fine; the colts es pecially so. The next highest number of entries was in field crops and vegetables, -100 entries. As you entered the first floor you found cotton in bales, cotton stalks, (some six feet high raised on up land,) pumpkins of wonderful size, huge beets, (no "dead beats,") a splen did collection of second crop Irish pota toes, sugar cane grown in this county, that looks like it might have been grown in Florida, rice grown in Newberry, cabbages, and many other things too numerous to mention-all well worth seeing, showing what wonders can be accomplished on our lands by proper cultivation. Up stairs was the display of household and fancy articles. &c., pickles, wines, lard, vinegar, soap, jel lies, preserves, cake, bread, in delight fl profusion. And then the fancy nee dle work-one could linger over this for hours, and could almost wish he were a woman that he might make such pretty things... The day was taken up by the visitors in a general examination of the several departments, and by the officers in or ganizing the committees. The rain prevented a large crowd; between six and seven hundred people wvere present, a majority of whom were ladies, a thing rather unusual on the'first day. From first to last they manifested a warm in terest in the proceedings, and by their handiwork and presence contributed very largely to the st'ccess of the Fair. THURSDAY, 2SD, dawned heavily as did the day pre vious, but Newberry and her many delighted visitors were not by any means in a like condition. Fully 25,000 people were on the spacious grounds. That the sun was not visible was a dis appointment, but not sufficient cause to dampen the general ardor. Soon after the gates were opened the rank and file began to gather and it was not long ere the spacious exhibition hal was pretty well filled. About this time * the clouds began to thin and show patches of blue, and then the sun burst forth to the great delight of all, mothers with their little darlings not excepted who apprehended for their precious charges nothing short of a duckiug ere the day was over. Luckily the day continued fine and the closing scenes of this our Second Annual Fair were en joyed under the influence of fair weather. It was our pleasure to ramble through the halls before the outdoor sports be gan and during the shooting contest which to many was' terribly long and gaze long and lingeringly upon the many beautiful pieces of woman's: handiwork in the shape of quilts, coun terpanes, crochet shawls, fascinators, sacks, pillow shams, lace handkerchiefs, collars, socks, slippers, infants dresses, etc., etc.; and from that to the House hold Domestic Department where our hurried glance yesterday afforded us glimpses of bread in various forms, cakes, wines, and scores of other delec table table comforts, all the conception and make up of woman-and we will be pardoned for asking here what would we do without woman, and what kind of bread and sweetmeats would we have? Happening about while the Committees were engaged in the work of sampling we were allowed to taste, and our judgment is that the specimens were all as good as can be made. The first thing of the day was the shooting match. The balls did not break easily; some failed to break after being shot through. With glass balls, instead of "concrete", the score would have been better. But the fact still remains that the shooting was not good, not near up to the ordinary practice: The Long Lane Club broke 19, missed 65. The Enoree Club broke 22, missed 62. The Newberry Club broke 27, missed 57. The latter coming out vic tors. FRIDAY, 24TH, Was a beautiful day, and the attend ance was about the same as the day be fore. If we had only had such a day to begin with, how much better it would have been! There would have been four or five thousand people present, the gate money would have been almost double, and the whole affair would have been much more satisfactory. As it was, however, it may be called a suc cess financially, as it certainly was in other respects. The gate money taken in amounted to $525, only twenty dol lars more than at the Fair a year ago; but the whole receipts, memberships, &c., were over $1,200. The premiums awarded amounted to about $600. The premiums were distributed Friday af ternoon. The following is the list: BO.RSES OPEN TO THlE WORLD.

With such men as John Beltou O'Neall at its head every citi zen felt a pride in its success, and the influence it exerted upon the farmiing and mnechanical interests of the Couti ty were very marked. The war breke up the organization, and it was not till last year that the matter was revived. The present Agricultural and Mechan ical Society was organized the 17th of August, 1878, with the following officers: Pres'dent, John C. Wilson; 1st Vice-President, Thos. W. Hollo. way; 2nd, John McCariey; 3rd, John R. SpearLlan. Sr.; 4th, W. ). Hardy; Secretary and Treasurer, George S. Mower; Executive Committee, A. J. Kilgore, Alan Johnstone, J. A. Sligh, S. A. Hunter, and M. Werts. So short was the time allowed for preparation that many were it, favor of not waking any attempt at a Fair last year ; but it was decided to do the best possible. Preparations were miade hurriedly, and the Fair was held in Mr. Mower's buildings on the corner of Pratt and McKibbeu Streets, and the small grounds attached, ou thec 20th, 21st and 22d of November. Its success far exceeded the most saui guine expectations. Every depart' mnent was well represented and the ait tendance was very good. Over $500 was taken in as gate money alone. Quite a nunmber .d pr'eziium:s in money and silver was distributed, withlout incurring any debt. At the close of the Fair the officers of the Sowcty, who h-ad per-formed their duties so satisfactorily, were re- elected. Eight acres of land was purcha.sed (n ai Street, and the Executive Coma.it tee have wor'ked like beavers for the past four months in putting the grounds in proper condition. Unli;ited praise is due to Messrs. Kilgore and Alan Johnstone for their self-sacrificing and constant labors in this work. We now have Fair Grounds that are uneC qualled in the State, outside of' Columi bia, and in some respects are superior to those. The Fair of 1879 opens to. day under very favorable auspices The whole County and surrounding Counties, to a large extent, are inter esting themselves in its success. -<Look here, my fine fellow," said the lecturer to tile boy who wa dis turbing the orator by constantly coughing, "here's a quarter to get a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup." Newberry as it is to-day--Its Business and its Advantages. Newvberry is one of the most thrivin:g towns in the State. With an enterpr-is ing and energetic population, backed up by a fertile country and industious and successful planters, she would long ago have risen to the dignity and pr-o portions of a city but for her lack of rairoad facilities. Her enorgy and pluck are shown by the manner with which she has met and overcome mis fortunes. A fire in 1865 destroyed nearly half of the bnsiness portion of the town, but so completely has she r-e covered thlat the fact is scarcely remem bered. March 8, 1877, a terrible con f-agration swept awvay a large por-tion of the business part of town. Star-ting at Pool's Hotel, corner of Pr-att and Caldwell Streets, it laid in ashes every store on both sides of Pratt Street for a distance of twvo blocks. At present there is nothing to indicate the ravages of that fire except the handsome build ings that have taken thle places of those destroyed, and the ascending walls of what is soon t o be 0ne of theC handusomteSt hotels in the State. On the 17th of Feb. 1879, another great fire occurred, sweep ing away the entire block of stores en closed by Pratt, Caldwell, Friend and Nance Streets. Already the entire block is re-built, except the three stores on the corner, which are now going up, and the last state of that block will be far better than the first. Newberry has had several other fires of less im por tance; but she seems to be imbued with the qualities of Phoenix. and rises each time from her ashes with fresher beau ty and vigor. As a cotton mar-ket Newber-ry has no superior in the interior of the Staxte. Our lands are admirably adapted to the leecy stap)le. Some idea of the busi ness done here in that line may be ga thered from the following flgures, showv ing the number of bales slhipp)ed from this point for several years past, from Septmber to September: 1873-4, 25,520 1876-7, 19,39)5 [874-5, 25,156 | 1877-8, 17,330 1875-6, 21,855 I 1878-9, 19,067 There are fifty-three store in N.wber -y, divided as follows: Dry God 12; rocries 8; Dry Goods and Groceries :oinhined 6; Confectioneries, Cio"L'-s 22 Lawyers, 6 Physicians, 3 Dentists. 2 Undertakers, 1 Marble yard, and 9 Churches,-6 white and 3 colored. Her population is between 2,500 and 3,000. The health of Newherry cannot be ex celled by that of any section of the State. Her educational facilities are of a very superior character. The Newberry College, under the auspices of the Lu theran denorniration, but totally unsec tarian in its spi-it and ;nstruction, is presided over by a complete and able Faculty. We have also the Newberry Female Academy, under Prof. A. P. Pifer, a thorough instructor, aided by competent assistanig. Though only an "Academy", its course of instructon will compare favorably with that of any of those female institutions in the State that bear the pretentious and high sounding title of "Colleges" Taking Newberry all round, in her social, religious, educational and busi ness advantages, there is not a more pleasant nor desirable place anywhere. This is abundantly proved by the fact that very few ever leave her to hunt other homes; if they do they soon re gret it, and in nine cases out of ten they are glad to return. To a Newber rian it is emphatically true that "there is no place like home." No Remedy in the World ever came into such universal use, or has so fully won the confidence of mankind, as AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL for the cure of Coughs, Colds and Consump tiou. Meeting of the Newberry Agricultural and Mechanical Society. The Society met at the Fair Grounds Friday at 4 P. M., President Jno. C. Wilson in the Chair. On motion, a unanimous vote of thanks was returned to the officers and committees of the Society for the faithful and efficient manner in which they had discharged their arduous duties. On m6tion, the books and accounts of the Treasurer were referred to the Executive Commit tee to be audited. The old officers were unanimously re-elected-they are: President, Jno. C. Wilson; vice-presi dents, Thos. W. Holloway, Jno. McCar ley, Jno. R. Spearman, and W. D. Har dy; Secretary and Treasurer. Geo. S. Mower; Executive Committee, A. J. Kilgore, Alan Johnstone. J. A. Sligh, S. A. Hunter and M. Werts. A dis cussion arose as to the propriety of ex tending to adjoining counties equal pri vileges with Newberry county in the matters of membership, exhibition of stock, &c., and the subject was referred to the Executive Committee for consid eration. On motion the proceedings of the meeting were requested to be pub lished iD the Newberry HERALD, New berry News, and Columbia Register. The Society then adjourned. JOHN C, WILSON, Pres't. GEO. S.

Sloan, be ioved wife of Dr. Gourdin Sloan, formerly of Columbia, late of Williamoston. Just as the day had fled and night had gathered in all its solemn loveliness, with dear ones all around watching with "loves own vigilance the ebbing sainds of life," she went home to her reward To that Paradise divinely fair, The just alone can enter there. Death for her had no terrors, all was light, love, joy and peace. Placing her hands in those of her Saviour, with all te implicit love and trust. of a regenerated soul, seeming to say Lead me all my journey through, Take mec home to dwell with you. So young to (lie, so young to sever the golden love linLs which bound her to life ; and we mourn for the gentle friend who has thus passed f:om our midst. But she has only lain down her earthly crown at the Saviour's feet, to be crowr'ed anow with the star-gemmed diadem of eternity. May God in His great mercy comfort the crushed hearts of the bereaved mourners. hi av He comfort in great tenderness and pitying love him whose sacred privilege it was to hold the dear hand as the tender feet went down the valley of shadows into the vast beyond, and enable him in this the dark day of his affliction to say Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee ; E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me.

THE PICTOIIIAL iISIORY of the UNIT ED STATES, FROM THE Discovery of the American Continent to the Present Time. By eas. D. McCabe, the well-known Historian. Mr. McCabe is a native of Richmond, Va., was born, raised and educated at the South, completing his training at the Virginia Mili tary Institute, under such teachers as Stone wall Jackson, Gilliam and Williamson; and is the author of "The Life and Camprign of Gen. R. E. Lee, Life of Lt.-Gen. r. J. Jack son, &c. This work has taken rank as the Standard History of the United States. It is no dry mass of details-no bombastic effort to in flame the national pride, but a clear, vivid and brilliant narrative of Ole events of our history, from the discovery of the American Continent down to the present time. It gives a most interesting account of the Itidians of North Am.ric., from the time of the coming of the white men. The voyages of Colubus, and the discoveries and exploi-ations of the different nations of Europe are related with graphic power. Every step of our colonial history is traced with patient fidelity, and the sources of those noble, and we trust, enduring Inslitutions which have made our country free and great, are shown with remarkable clea-aess. Then follows a clear and succinct account of our great Straggle for Independence, and the es tablibsmeat of the Federal Union. The events of our career from the close of the Revolarion to the commencement of the Civil War, fol lows in their order. The History of the Great Civil War is related with intense vigor, and with strict tideli..v to ti.th; with the recon struction of the Union under President John son to the present time. It is compressed in one large octavo vol ume of 1120 pages with more than 500 fine engraving3. The leading Generals of the Confederate Army-a superb lithographic engraving, on a sheet 21 by 27 inches, will be presented to each subscriber. Mr. SFder is the sole agent for this Coun ty and that of Lexington, which he will thor oughly canvass, from house to house.
