Sam Lipscomb, W. G Austell, I). A Thomas, J. B. Hambright and Mr. King. On motion a committee consisting of F. G Stacy, I) A. Thomas and Ed. H.

Il is hoped that the ladies of the county will take an active part in I this matter. Cherokee is ooundless in resources and it is only proper that we be properly represented at this exposition.

The meeting yesterday was not so large as it should have been, but it was thoroughly enthusiastic. Blacks burg had no representative, unless Mr. Hambright be considered as rep resenting Blacksburg when in fact he is from Ml. Paron ; and as Blacks burg and vicinity can furnish much material to make the exhibit comp ete she should be interested. Nalenday.

The inspectors of stock for the vari ous districts report that phosphorized pollard, when carefully laid, is the most effective means of stamping out the an imals without injury to stock. It ap pears. however, that careful supeivi sioii is necessary in the use of this [mi- son to produce good results. Other methods of dealing with tlie problem, which are not so effectual as j tlie use of poison, but which have the advantage of leaving the dead rabbits in sueii condition as to lie salable, are trapping, shooting ami hunting with ferrets or dogs. For comparatively small inclosures wire netting is without ! doubt tlie best means of dealing with rabbits, and every year sees an inereas- , ing quantity of it being erected. Its i great expense, however, prevents its j being applied to large farms or ranges. 1 $15,000 WORTH OF CLOTHING, Hats, shoes and furnishing goods.
