Thc County Fuir. fourteenth unnuul Fair of the Au Furniers' and Mechanics' Associa old on Wednesday, Thursday and of lost weelc, wo? uuccetsful to a beyond the expectations of even the nguine, and considering the many hat operated against, it, was indeed de to our County. The exhibits in department! wore fine, and in many timorous, and taken all in all was, ik, as good ns previous years, lt in leasure to it* to bo able to announce ; Fair was a success in every partic lancial and otherwise, and the on Iv e have to find whatever is with r our citizens who did not take in aough in it to attend at least during . Tho first day was given entirely eceiving and arranging of articles proper department?, and of ourse ?merest was not suttlc?ent to induce thu Hhdance of any accept those who had flucss. On Thursday thc attemlanco Bffvery small, hardly enough being on Bgro?nds lo keep Ibo committees and Btrs fro.o feeling lonesome. The vari? HB committees performed their duties, Heyer, and on Friday, the big duy, they ?BtMidered in their rejiorls, and entered B?the pleasures of the day with the vis B who wara ouite as numerous as is Hu on the .'cst dav of thesa occasions. BJ&on entering the enclosure tho first 9Bfc that attracted our attention was the FIELD CKOr EXHIBIT, HRwe confess to great surprise nt the Bbdid display that was made of nearly n crop grown either in garden or fies*. Hfro were sweet ]>otatoes from one to five Hsix pounds in size, samples of corn as ?ns we C*ver saw, cotton stalks that __Bod those of any previous year in point _Kn as well us fruiting, samples of wheat, Hg barley, rice, etc., that gave positive BBf that it is not every fanner in thu HKty who fails to realize the value of Hf grain culture, pumpkins (u fruit that BJhvcre never very partial to) as large a:. Mordinary nail keg, turnips that incas H fifteen or eighteen inches in circa tn ?ncc, and a display of garden vegetables ?twas very creditable indeed. This de Btncnt looked anytl. jg else but starva ?Simd was so for ahead of what the most EBful bau expected, that we arc inclined Hfcpe that things are not so bad os some HJHed to think a few weeks ago. SjjSry near the field crops was tho rouLTitv, fKh attracted the usual amount of atten RX The variety was hardly equal to for B years, I ut the quality was quite as RS. The chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, HM were all line. ?Bom here we went IN THE BL'ILDINO, PJBrc the exhibits were quite as good ns HAL Thc ladies always sustain their de Baien ts better than the meu do theirs. Btwcnt first around to thc right, and the ?flay of wines, cordials, acida, fruits, Hj_p, jams, preserves, and thc like, was Bcd very fine. On the opposite side of Bhouse we found the usual creditable Blay of line arts, and down in thesouth Bj corner there was a perfect jam of hu Hfity, who were listening with delight to fpjiniisic of the organ and piano. ?tnnd _B-di))-toe and looking over thc heads of Bgrowd, we caught sight of the familiar Ht of friend Korry ce, of the McSmith Bnc House, of Greenville, who was quite Br answering the many questions with ?Rh he was being plycu by his auditors Bte loren cc to his musical instruments, ??was the popular corner of the house BJnig thc entire day, and thc interest j_Rd to thc Fair generally by the display gfliis enterprising establishment was very Maderable. Bte next made an effort to gat io the Nee ?Bpnd Fancy Work table, but we found ?Sadies-young und old, big and litdo Hiding around it-about four deep, and as fijare naturally averse to being crowded ?g pressed by such a mass of ribbons, ?pskirts, &c. as was here congregated, ?Buietly accepted the situation, withdrew Bjhomely sell and sauntered again around ?be preserve stand ; nnd whilo resting ?frist a post, our eyes fell upon a tobie, at Bi end of which there stood, solitary und Bte, lean, lnuk, h.uugry-looking individ BJ viewing its contents. They each Bced ut us simultaneously, but only for ?foment, for their gaze'was fixed upon fflfejcts more inviting and pleasing-the Hut i fut ly brown rusks, rolls, loaves and fitters and the snowy-like exterior of de Skis cakes thal ornamented thc aforesaid g?, and that somehow or other were ?Bing to say to thc epicurean looking Meta to rs. "tOucb-mc not." Wo could Br fully into their feelings, and was not [[?irised that they stood spell-bound by B&scinaiion of thc scene. BU around the interior of thc building BK was suspended quills-silk, worsted BB cotton-counterpanes, coverlets, etc.. ?Br King and Queen to sleep under, and Bf e. .enced the fact that our housewives Baot ignorant of thc ways and means of HBufacturiug their necessaries in tins fine. Bte next made a tour of inspection to the STOCK DEPARTMENT, Bch was about us full aa usual. Whilo ?display of horses was not os line us we Bb seen at previous Fairs, yet we can By say that it was up to tho average of Hr yeurs. In thc department of the Ble, Shocp and Hogs wo could notice ?Bier a falling oif nor increase in either Bquantity or quality of thc exhibits. Bhuve always considered the stock and Bj crop departments the most important Bur Fairs, and have always obstvved, Bjhge to say, that they arc thc most mea Hr sustained. This should not beso. Bte only thing that was missed from tho Binds at all was the usual display of Bbl engines, cotton gins and machinery Bois class. THE O 8 HALL SHOOTINO Ifriday ?afternoon was quite an intenst feature of the day to a large number, congregated about the marksmen and hed thc sport with eagerness through There were three "ringa" formed, and ?uccessful competitors were ns follows : he first ring, prize $lis, Mr. - Rut.?;in ; le second, prize $11, Mr. James Dukes; ie third, prize $11, Mr.Valuer paillard, le Fair passed off most pleasantly to all [attended, and satisfaction was given to ..mi pct it ors, as far as wo know. For the lieut management the oillccra deserve cial compliment, particularly the Presi lund Secretary, on whom the great bur auf responsibilty rested.

"What did you pay?" said I. "Ain't paid yet, sirl got ctn on connoptlon." That settled mo. Next day 1 found out what it meant. Can you ? COTTON OPTION. 81.SO per Jim.bel. MR. EDITOR: Such is tho quotation, u few days ago, in tho Atlanta Oatutitution, as tho price iii that city for sweet potatoes. Allowing tho freight from Greenville to be 25 or iiO cents per bushel, the net price, after paying commissions, to the farmer would bo a dollar per bushel, or over. An aero of ground, well cultivated, will certainly yield loo bushels, thus yielding a money value thrco or four times that of cotton. Of ordinary pensons tho price in tho opening of tho market would not bo so much, but would Bcarcoly average less thuu 75 cents. Even nt tlitii price, the money valuo is still far ahead of cotton. We are considering in the above calcula tion tho comparativo money valuo, but wbeu in addition to '.oat we consider tho feeding valuo of u bushel of potatoes, either for tho suntcuauco of tho family or feeding of block, tho valuo of this root crop is greatly enhanced. And then by early planting and maturing, a line price WM always be obtained, and at a season of tho year when other lending staplo crops aro not ready for market. Lot every farmer, large or small, in planning for tho crops of 'bli, give the sweet potato crop a prominent placo in tho picture. In so doing, you secure tho welcome plaudit of "well done" from wifo and children, as well as causo thc pocket to jingle with many a silver dollar other wise lost to tho farmer. T. H. H. Kxblbllioii ol' Prof. McAiiliiy'n Mellool. Mit. EDITOR: On Friday, 14th of Octo ber, a goodly number of tho citizens of Townville assembled at tho Academy to hear the young men of tho school de claim, and tho little girls and boys recito extracts, pootry, Ac. I can with trutli fulm s and pleasure say t'.ov all acquit ted themselves well, and did honor to their teacher. Tho lattor is an intelligent, Christian gentlomnn, who, though a na tive North Carolinian, has for sonia years made his homo in our Palmotto State. The young men spoke with coolness, de liberation and emphasis, giving promiso of futuro greatness as orators. And tho dear little girls recited with modesty and expression tho choice extracts thov lind memorized. Tho littlo boys (God bless them!) wore both oloquent and amusing. Tho pupils were listened to with respect ful attention, and after them Col; H?cker was introduced to tho audience. This gentleman is so well known that it woro useless for me to expatiate on his address. Lot it su?lico lo .;ay it was erudite, pointed and appropriate. Wo wero greatly pleased with thc complimentary terms in which ho spoke of our school ; and of tho Professor who is so industriously stri- - ing to "teach tho young idea bow to shoot." At noon, the audieiico wero adjourned to dinner, which was quite au elegant cold collation on tho campus, and gnvo substantial ovideneo of tho culinary tal ents of tho Indies of Townville. The most pleasant featuro of tho occa sion was tho entertainment given In tho evening under control of Prof. McAulay, but enacted by tho young m< .1 and ladies of our progressive little town. This con sisted of four charades, with incslc In the intervals, finished by an amusing dia logue, "The Arkansas'Travellor." They wero nil well acted, and some of tho characters admirably sustained. After tho exercises were closed, Col. Simpson was called on for a speech. He carno re luctantly forward, and spoke a few words in n pleasing manner, anti regretted that he had failed to bo with us during tho day, owing to a mistake. But we regret ted it more than he, aud wish ho had said something moro. Thc thanks of our community aro koro in tendered to the orator of tho day for his edifying and courteous address ; to the young men and Indies who kindly furnished such delightful muslo for the occasion on piano, violin and guitar; anil to thc accommodating gentleman who so cheerfully furnished his parlor night alter night for rehearsals ; lastly, to tho young matron who so perseveringly worked to attain the success with which hor efforts were most assuredly crowned. Long will thu remembrance of that day bo r.wcet and pleasant, to at least some of those who partook ol' tho enjoyments of tho occasiou. Cui BON I. Programme ot Vnlon Meeting.
