K. AT. R. A. NOt'IETY.
The Kiecutive Committee of this So
ciety met on Monday night and com
pleted arrangement! fur holding the
oeit fair. All the members ore posi
tive of success and will leave do none
unturned to accomplish it.
Iu the way of amusements the com
mittee bate arranged lae programme
for each day. AH tastei will be suited
and baudsoine prizes be awarded. There
will be no conflict tliii year with any
other fair. The exhibition will be dur
ing the week following the Iltlcigh, and
prtceedinc the Richmond fYir, Tiiis
a a lies it more advantageous for both
visitor and exhibitors. Every nigbt
there will be a hop at the botel and oo
Thuesday night a grand ball vei l be given.
This Society bus in the pant done a
great deal for the farming interests ol
this section by bringing the people to
gether, and showing what those in dif
ferent sections can do and "bat crops
they aoake, thereby creating a spirit of
emulation which stijiulite each one to
do better and vie with his neighbor in
produciog large crops with the least ex
pense. Our people should patroniia
this fair by attending and placing ar
ticles oo exhibition. It is oo a firm
basis and shoulJ be suUiued. The
public spirit of our pcoplo has been suf
ficient lor its suppoit heretofore, and we
dj not doubt but thut it will be so
the future. L-t us work for the fair an
make it the best in the Stato or out of
it. It can aud ouu'it to be done.
l'i:err.K ofteu wonder why Weldo
is no larger than it is. With so many
ruilroais cenluring here and so many
natural advantages, they are surpised
that it is so small. Strangers expect
when they arrive or pass through here,
to fi id a place with at least tea thous
and inhabitants and cau't understand
why it is so small.
No place ith every facility can
grow large, unless the citizens do some
thing too. If it grows only by the nat
ural increase of iububitants, k will take
many years for it to double its present
size. Toe only way then is to make
the place so attractive as to induce peo
ple to come here from other places
This can bo done io many ways. Iu
the first place the health of the town
should be improved by removing all
those things which produce malum
The streets shoal J : bo kept in good
order and nnJe pleasing to the eye.
It costs very little and will pay in the
end. Ia tha next place, there should
be schools. Nj father of a family
would be willing to live here unless there
were schools to eJucata bis chilJren,
whatever other advantages might be de
rived. Schools we must have bef ro
there can be any large iucrease iu the
p pulatioD.
The first three thi.igs a persons in-
tires about when seeking a place to
locate are hcilth, churches, and sch mk
We have churches, and our citizjns
sn iuij oo.tir the nsolves to improve tl e
beakh. It can easily be dono if the
people choose to do it. Thei schools
should be established. On small Boule
if you please at first and then praduully
build up. This can be done. There are
plenty of boys and girls in the town now
t support a g-od day school, and jet
there is not a single school in town.
II iw can parents be willing for their
children to grow up iu ignorance or
what is worse, iu idleness. Idleness is a
(he field for the devil to woik in ns well
for children as for grown pc iple, m
aaorality increases e kj iilly as idleness
increases,

CW people no doubt are tired of pol
itics. They and the country need rest
Ft a long time the papers have been
filled with legislative and C mgression
al proceedings aud the discussions
growing nut of them. We have many
times turned aside for other topics. The
heman mind requires sarie'y. With
out it there comes satiety as cditois
S3uiC'liitic fi id uul. t
It is a good li ne us nny then for dis
cussing historical points connected with
our State. S ich topics are iu fact never
outnf time. Ojr people need to be in
formed that a proper S ale p:ide may
be excited. T.ie Stir has now aid then
attempted in its own way to contribute
its share io that direction.
There is a point in our history that
reqiires to be enforced. We have
aliown bow many soldiers N- rib Can .
lina furnished' during the war of the
States. We must also show how many
Generals who served in llie war were
natives of N' rth Carolina. Thtre is
weed for this, NmI many of our owe
peoplo have the required information,
end persons living in other States aro,
to a great extent, ignoraut also. To
show this we mention a fact.. Mr. Al.
under II. Stephens, io bis able woik,
Tne War of the Slates, gives a list con
taining 110 (jjnerals of the Cinft-dera.
cy. O.'t'iejt tml 1J arc from NV.h
Carolina. This is inexcusable on the
part of the historian, when it is a fact
that North Carolina had no less than 37
natives who rosa to the rank of lirign
dier or higher.
Here is the list we are able to give,
and we be believe it is correct in every
particular :

S ime of our troops served in South

able to give their uumber, or by whom

General A. P. Hill, when Maj ,r Ge. .

always said he preferred to command
them to all others. Wc have the au

nextf'queried the Wilmingtonian. 'Mc
Kan's North Carolina,' he quickly an-
swered. 'And which next?' continued
our friend. The General thought for a
moment and then said. -It lies between

ti bo domiciled for a short time in this
section of (r.anvllle county, which is ad
mkled to be the most fertile and desira
ble locality in tha tobacco region. It is
here that much of the fine, highpriced
tobacco is raised, which now creates
such a furor among tobacconists every
where. While the soil is productive or
almost eery variety of plant life, the,
tobacco seems to have preference, over
all other crops. This is wrong. Few
farmers can be successful in raising it,
md those of the most iud'js'rious and
skillful class, and as their eff iris to be
considered as preparers of bright tobacco
at perh ips 100 dollars per 100, lbs and
COO or 700 dollars per acre, all other
crops are neglected. Now, from my
own observation I de:lare these lands as
productive of wheat, cor", oats, and
every vanity ol rratses. In lac t, all
grasses adapted to the climate are in
