GALA DAYS IN ANDERSON?THE AGRICULTU? RAL FAIR A COMPLETE SUCCESS. Thursday and Friday, the 25th and 2?th of November, in the year of Grace one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, will long be remembered in Anderson as the inaugural era of Agricultural Fairs in this county. True, last fall witnessed a creditable exhibition, if we consider the circum? stances by which we were then surrounded; and I it is likewise true that before the present gencra I tion of active, moving spirits came upon the stage an agricultural society flourished at this place. It is furthermore to tho credit of our fathers, that a similar society has existed nit Pendlcton for the last half cetttary, aad which is still in the land of the living, and altogether likely to continue-its usefulness for many years to come. But we re? peat that Agrietslttaral Fairs hare just now been- in? augurated ; and by this we mean to say, that with a new era of prosperity to the country, the people are nwakening to the dawn of a progressive spirit* and have manifested the utmost interest in this enterprise, and intend making it Bi permanent and enduring success?dating this expression of their interest from the developments produced by the recent Fair. Already, the ball is in motion, and we hear of numerous gentlemen declaring that future years will witness splendid repetitions of this exhibition, and that prompt and energetic measures must be taken to place the- Farmers' As? sociation-upon, a solid basis, with appropriate Fair Grounds, and'all'the accessary appurtenances to accoraodate the crowds ?i exhibitors and visitors expected at these annual gatherings. Various schemes are suggested, and it is- likely that the most practicable and feasible suggestions will be at once utilized, and rendered available in attaining the end now desir? by the entire community, which is nothing less than a fixed and permanent habitation for the "Farmers' Association" of old Anderson. As me expect to. urge this matten upon the attention of our readers hereafter, we will not further loiter by the way, bat proceed at once to give a brief, and succinct account of the events connected with the Fair last week. THE FIRST OAT. The sun shone brilliantly on Thursday, and at an early hour it was apparent that hundreds of people from the surrounding country would enli? ven the occasion by their presence. The Secre? tary's books were opened at nine o'clock, in the Court House, and it was not long until that official was crowded with applicants to register their names aud the articles intended for exhibition. With the assistance of several others, the Secreta? ry was kept busy until poon, when the doors were opened, and the crowd of fair ladies und sturdy men flocked in to witness- the exhibition. It is simply impossible to describe eaett department, and we must be content with a nwagr? reference to them. i In the Household Department, it was especially, noticeable that the ladies had not ignored their peculiar domain, but had presented tho greatest j abundance of butter, lard, preserves, pickles, "and sich like," and which would do credit (o any sec? tion of the country. Iiusj fingers had plied away lo make a respec? table collection of articles in patch, crochet and needlework, and this division of labor was unex? pectedly large. Of course, there were many gar? ments of beautiful and exquisite make, and some of them execediugly puzzling lo our old bachelor friends, who never can understand how it is that the ladies find time to bestow so much care and pains-taking upon simple articles of dress. Another table revealed a splendid assortment of wax, hair and shell work, and other fancy articles akin to that species of woman's laoor. Worsted ; work aud fatten came under the supervision of this committee, and several specimens of drawing and painting likewise engaged their attention. The EAtive wines spread before the gentlemen j designated 1? u inspect " their flavor and strength, 1 eaabtaeed twenty-two samples, and richly demon? strated the fact that this is a wine-producing region, lacking only the attention and care of our people to make them famous ia this department. In Domestic Manufactures, there was a commen? dable rivalry, and scor?s of articles were brought to the attention of true- committee. The manufactures <?>f wood and iron, although not large, attested the BfttJve-genius now lying al? most dormant, and which deserves to be quickened into active and constant usefulness. Other Stales contributed no little to this department, and the comparison of work in some instances redounded to (he credit of an estimable geutleman of this connly. Th*re was no competition in the leather depart? ment, but the sides of leather, as well e.s the sad? dle and harness on exhibition, attested the supe? riority of our workmen in this respect.. And lastly, so far as the exhibition in doors is concerned, we come to the varied and excellent samples of farm products entered for premiums. In this regard, we might as well declare here and now that our farmers do not expect to be excelled in.the Southern country. The samples of wheat were certainly surprising, and to give an idea of their quality and appearance, it was remarked to ,us by a gentleman that, in his opinion, these spec? imens were obtained from a better wheat country than he ever believed this would be. The corn .was equally astonishing, arul when we relate (hat one exliifiitoc told us that fifty-foiur ears of his corn made a bushel, aud that this did not take the premium cither, our. readers at a distance will also share iu this ostonisbracttt. The pccuiimn. corn produced sevcaiy-four bushels per acre. And so we might continue, as-io- tlu:-merits of the tiujuips, cabbage, Sac., but we will desist, with calling at? tention to the fact that this highly crcddiabiV ex? position nf farm, products follows a most unfavora? ble season! The exhibition of cattle, sheep, and swine;, took place in (he lot belonging (o the Catholic churoh, and wc regret that our duties as Secretary kept us so closely engaged in the Court House as to prevent a personal inspection of the stock. The number v/as not very great, but we believe (hat it was fully equal to the anticipations of the Execu? tive Committee in chnrgo of the Fair, as the late? ness of the season doubtless had something to do with the meagre show of cattle and sheep especi? ally. The poultry exhibition was also small, but there were some genuine g mc-cocks presented, togeth? er with a variety of chickens, geese and ducks. We have gone through the list at random, and only reserve the horses, jacks and mules, as these animals were not on exhibition the first day. When night arrived, it was Jie unanimous opin? ion that the Fair was a decided success, and it wus determined to hold the-annual meeting in Masonic: Hall, with a view to m<aka tho beginning for vig? orous and active measures of permanence in, the organization. The particulars of this meeting will be found elsewhere in our columns lO'day. SECOND HAT'S I'ROCEEOINflS. The crowd in altendance on Friday was even greater than the day before. Articles continued to be received until about ten o'clock, when the books of entry were closed, and a variety of arti? cles and slock were necessarily excluded, as they arrived too Lite. The doors were opened about half past ten, and for more than two hours there was a stream of curious and eager spectators pouring in and out of the Court House, attracted there by the magnificent nrray of articles on ex? hibition. Among the chief features of the morning, we may mention the "dog-power" belonging to Mr. Nance, of Honca Path, which was highly amusing and instructive. By the aid of this power, the owner stated that for two years his family had been enabled to churn with (he utmost ease and facility. The power can be applied to anything within its scope, and is quite a novelty. Another simple and useful contrivance, intended to save labor in churning, was exhibited by Mr. W. T. Browne, of this neighborhood. Being his own invention, and certainly adapted to the pur? pose for which it was intended, it attracted much attention, and was highly complimented. The exhibition of horses began about one o'clock, and lasted for several hours. Every class enumerated in the premium list was represented, we believe, and though the entries were compara? tively few, the display was indeed creditable. The committee took their stand upon the public square, and each class of horses required to 44 pass in re? view" before them. The square was thronged with ladies and gentlemen, and great difficulty was ffxperiencedl in keeping back the surging tide of people. The best horses were decorated with the blue ribbon, and the second beat obtained a badge of red ribbon, although the committee were authorized to award premiums only for the best. During the progress of the horse-show, the An? derson Brass Band enlivened the occasion by in? spiring strains of music, and added much to the exhibition. Indeed, on both days these clever gentlemen contributed no little to the success and pleasure of the'occasion by furnishing music at proper intervals. It is conceded that we cannot do without the Band, and its members always evince a cheerful disposition to accommodate the public. The olosing exercises of the day took place in the Court House, when the doors were opened to the public geuerally. Maj. Russell called the meeting U> order, and made a few appropriate re? marks concerning the Fair and its results, not for? getting, to thank the people for their interest and assistance,, and. urging farmers to connect them? selves with the Association, either as MMwrij life or perpetual members. A number of gentlemen enrolled, their names at ooce, principally as life members. Upon motion, Maj. Geoikje Seabobx was unanimously elected an honorary life member of the Association^ The reports of committees were then read, and the premiums awarded,, which interesting cere? mony conclude J the Fair, and the immense audi . ence dispersed. i We sannot close this hasty and. imperfect repof'. of the Fair without alluding to- the energy and public spirit manifested, by the Chairman of the 'Executive Committee. B, F.. Geay.ton, Esq., to I 'whom, in a great measure is dee the inception and > successful completion of the enterprise, and upon whose shoulders fell the greatest responsibility He proved, himself fully equal to- the occasion, and in every respect secured the best possible arrange- ? mcr.ts for visitors-and. exhibitors. It will be re? membered that onJ.y three weeks ago tdtfs affair I was really bcgunv and the Association was then without funds*. money for premiums wa* subscribed by our citizens, nn<i they havo nobly responded with their united energies inimokinc It a I success; and wc arc gratified' to state that the arrangement 1ms been such ns to leave a balance ' in the Treasury, to form a nuolcus for future ope? rations. Our limited space debars tho-list of exhibitors and articles, which mny appear neat week, Wc append the reports of several comtutMe?*,. and i i others will appear scat; week.

Keys, und Bull CM, 15> msnths old, by B? F. Cray ton, were creditable specimens of what our cattle might be made on every farm in the county. 1). S. Ma swell, and B. F. Whitne? exhibited some fine-stock, which entitle them to credit as gentle? men of fine taste, and to the gratitude of the county for their public spirit in the improvement of the s ock of the country. A. R. Broyles ex? hibited a fine, strong pair of Oxen. J. I3..E. Sloan exhibited a grade Heifer, 18 months-olik, which has been giving milk for several, monnhs.

The wines were generally very fine, particularly that ot Mrs. J. P. Reed and others. The committee would suggest that wine-makers put less saccha? rine matter with their wine, as the committee think the most of the wines exhibited were too sweet. Respectfully submitted, Db. T. A. EVINS, Chm'n. Brief Mention.?A party of confidence gentle? men swindled some of our wide-awake citizens on Monday last, by forging orders, and selling a horse and wagon supposed to be stolen. Their suspici? ous conduct subsequent lo these sharp practices caused the arrest of a couple of them, and officers are in pursuit of the only one now at large. Wc are gratified to chronicle the return of Mr. n. 0. Hebrick and family, who have been on an extensive tour in the North for the past several months. Mr. H. expresses the warmestregard for Anderson, after sojourning amongst out Northern brethren. Rev. W. H. Stratton has resigned the pastorate cart-of the Presbyterian church in this place, and will remove to Louisiana. His departure is a loss to the com-mtaniry, and one that will be severely felt. An unusually large quantity of land-will be sold at this place on Monday next, and parties wishing to purchase will do well to consult ouradVertising columns. The price of Dickson's compound h*s been re? cently reduced, as will be seen on referring to the agent's advertisement elsewhere. Our farming friends will otecrre that instead of using 40 bush? els of cotton seed as manure on a certain area of land, they can employ at the same cost 250 lbs. of this valuable fertilizer, which is worth, more than 100 bushels of cotton seed.
