Ircelv upon everything except agriculture

Ol KIM I It.
As we anticipatud the 0;h annual fair ol
the Roanoke and Tar River Agricultural
Society surpassed all its predecessors io
Ihe interest ol the display, in the crowds
in attrn.lai.ee and generally in being a
complete succrns. The fair this year wss
opened on Monday but it was not until
Tuesday that the people commenced com
ing io. On Tuesday morning the town
began filling up, and wuen at about 11
o'clock the lam Com iu. need tail nf it was
for a short while about as blue a crowd as
we have ever seen, but that night when it
was found that in spite nf the raiu the
receipts at the gates bad been larger than
for the same day laat year, Ihe faces ol th:
officers cleared up and the next day when
the sky billowed their ciaxple and
cleared up too, they became perlectly
radiaat.
It is a well known (act to all that the
conduct ol this Society, troiu its beg;n-
ning, lias been puiely a "labor of love"
with its officers and friends, and its great
uccrss, amid lailures on all aides, has
been mainly due Io the lact that no
reward, other than the promotion of the
agricultural interests ol Hie State, was
expected by (hose who have given I heir
time aud means to it. The liberal aud
enlightened managtmrnt, which has
characterized it every year, has placed it
on an enduring financial basis, and served
to permanently establish it in the aflVc
tionate interest and regard ol the people.
Every rlubition has increased its Iriends
and added to its nicmberdiip, ami it is a
source nf pride to all concerned, that ths
Saciety offers eveij year greater attrac
tions to visitors, and more liberal induce
ments lo exhibitors.
