The We'doii fair lias uonie and gone.
It whs a remarkable Miceesn in every
particular, as nil its prcitcceesois have
been and as its .successors will be. Kv
eryibin; passed off smoothly ami ho
untinvaul circumstance occurred to mar
the pleasure and enjoyment of visitors
mid residents.
There was a good crowd on Wednes
day and on Thursday, the big day of tho
week, tho grounds were filled with the
people who had come from far and near
to take in the fair.
Tho grounds presented a gala appear
ance truly. The many tents, flags, music,
horse races, well mounted marshals,
handsome women, all tended to mako a
spectacle well calculated to pleaso and
entertain the people.
The cadets from tho Scotland Nock
Military School presented a handsome
appearance under the command ef Major
Rarraud, and attracted much attention.
They wore especially . complimented for
their accurate drill, quick and successful
execution of orders and the perfect exe
cution of the manual in inarching order
as well as at attention. Tho drill and man
ual would have done credit to any compa
ny of the State Guard, and shows the
excellent training they have had in a
comparatively short time.
There were many things on the grounds
which we would like to notice at length,
but the demand on our space forbids. We
must, however, mention some of them,
md will take them consecutively by de
partments.
DEPARTMENT A.
Among articles on exhibition in this
department were seed cotton, potatoes
and navy beans by Mrs. Ida Wilkius; po
tafoesand cotton by John D. Shaw; po
tatoes bv Mrs. C. F. Rodwell; tobacco
peas and seed cotton by J. II. Wood; J,
A. Johnston, bread euro, stock corn aud
Irish potatoes.
DEPARTMENT B.
Ill this department, which is devoted
to hones and stock, we noted many hand-
tome entries, among them the followin
attracted tho most atteution for their
many excelled! points:
T. Y. Lippett, saddle horse, J. T.
Evans, siugle harness horse and two-year
old not thoroughbred; J. 11. Summerell,

A. Merrilield, Durham, two-year-old
colt not thoroughbred; Geojgo Harrison

DEPARTMENT C.
This department for domestic animals
was well Giled, and the show in it would
do credit to any fair. Among the most
prominent entries were the following : 0.
P. Keeter, Jersey bull, game chickens;
T. A. Cooper, Brahma chickens, Toulouse
aud Spanish creese; J. W. Vinoent, Gas
ton, native bull; Mrs. J. T. Evans, wyan

Department 1) includes fancy work
both in wearing apparel and in good
things to cat, and if there wis any one
at tho fair whose fancy could not be tick.
by the numinous things on exhibition
which attracted the eye and the appetite
we don't want to see hiiu. It would
seem a little incongruous to group edi
bles and "wearables" together, but it
must be remembered that some go inside
and some outside aud so really there is
but a skin's dii'ereiice idior all. If we
get them a little mixed this inoruiii"; we
hope we will be pardoned as there is al
ways considerable mixing fair week. For
instance on looking over our notes we
found wo had written "one embroidered
child's cloak." Now nobody wauts an
embroidered child, leastways nobody in
this section has one that we know of.
It' there is any child of the kind she
ought to have been on exhibition so it
could havo been told what kind of a stitch
it was whether satin stitch, cat stitch
or stitch in tho side. We say "she" be
cause no boy child would be embroidered
if be could help it.
There was in this department hand
some exhibits by Miss Mary A Collins,
Norfolk; Mrs Geo Lehman, Miss A Rives
Norfolk; Miss Rebecca Ilardwiek, Rich
mond; Mrs L L Marks and Miss Mollie
II. Harrison, Peicr.iburg; Miss Jaoie

Brown bud forty articles on exhibiti m.
They were all for table use, lightest bread
ind biscuit, beautiful eako of every kind,
dried fruits, pepper, jelly, aimed fruit:.,
catsup, vegetables, garden seeds. Her
exhibit was a fair in itself and did great
credit to Mrs Brown's already well known
housewifely qualities. It would have
made a dead man hungry to havo gotten,
a glimpse at all these good things. Then
there w.;s Mrs J T Evans' largo aud
beautiful exhibit of noodle work, which
would adorn a New York bazar. Mrs
J L Williams showed great skill in tho
preparation of her exhibit of table prod
ucts. A large quantity of fancy work,
was made by Trinity Church sewing so
ciety, Scotland Neck, some of which, we
are sorry to say, was damaged by tho
rain Thursday night which was beaten
into the building by the wind. There
were several beautiful hats also ou exhi
bition, but the palm was awarded to Miss
Bean who is now with Mrs P A Lewis.
Mrs W E Daniel's exhibit added very
hargcly to the success and beauty of Floral
Hall and was really handsome aud well
selected. Mrs. W. 11. Smith showed
lovely taste in the articles sent out by htr
and they displayed great artistic merit
Mrs 11 C Freeman, of Goldsboro, had
fi fty-one articles ou exhibition which
attracted the attention of everyone for
excellence and tho skill shown in prepar
ing them. There were many other beau
tiful things on exhibition in this depart
ment which we would be glad to mention
specially but space forbids. We only had
room to notico the larger exhibits.
DEPARTMENT E.
The art department was moro than
usually attractive. There were many ex
cellent specimens of handiwork which
would have been a credit to th se who
have attained higu position as profession
al artists. Wo are diffident of our judg-
meiit in art, because we cannot be artists,
and try nut to be artful, but we will give
an artless opinion on some of tho works
of art wliidi wc saw in floral hall, any
way. If we miss anything which should
ii.it have been ini.-.'ied, it was our misfor
tune rather than fau't. With this pre
lude we will enumerate: First there was
tho exhibit of the Henderson College.
Mrs. 15, 15. Phillips, who was at one
lime a resident of this place, principal.
There was a screen done in oils lovely
to look upon. It is the work of a young
lady, Mrs. Philips' daughter, wdio is only
Heventeen years old. When this young
lady was only lil'teeo years old she se
cured a scholarship in Vassar College by
a competitive examination. Tho .study
in poppies is also by her and soeme 1 to the
critical the perfection of art. The Cranio
of the screen is a beautiful specimen of
North Carolina wood aud was made in
Henderson. The crayons are the work
of two other students of the college, each
under thirteen years of age. They have
received no other instruction than that
giveu in free hand drawing gratis, by the
college. Tho water color sketches and
mechanical drawings were most excellent
and will be exhibited at the World's fair.
These specimens of what Henderson col
lege accomplishes in tho way of education
ought to make that institution very pop
ular with parents.
Among other exhibits in this depart
ment which received high praise were
paper flowers, fancy drawing, fancy writ
ing by Mrs. A. P. Rives, Norfolk;
panels in water colors and in oil and
etching, by Miss Janie Ward, Raleigh;
boquet design iu flowers, basket of flow
ers, vaee with (lowers, oil painting, map
drawing, by Mrs. J. T. Evans; lustre

DKPAKTMENT V.
In department F there were mauy
agricultural uiei mhor i ne'eioeui.-, most
of which were included iu the exhibit of
S. 11. White & Br-, , Noii'.d...
a handsome and attractive appearance.
There was also a peanut puller by B L
Furgersuu, Pleasant Hill, and a peanut
planter by B Hicks, Franklin, Va., which
attracted attention.
DEPARTMENT 0.
There was comparatively little in this
department, which includes manufactures
other than domestic, such as farm belie,
mowing machinery, etc., to be exhibited
by the manufacturer.
DEPARTMENT II.
In this department which, is peculiarly
for the farmers there wi re not as many
entries as there should have been. Hor
ticultural products ought to receive more
atteution from the farmers, and they
should diversify their crops, thereby be
coming more independent. The exhibits
showed what could be done in this way,
if proper elfort were made, and we hope
that great improvement will be made in
this section in this icspcet by the opening
of the fair next fall.
The principal exhibitors here were
Mrs J T Evans, Peler Siainback, Jr.,
Drew Stephenson, Mrs II W Brown, W
II Ilolford, Mrs J L Williams, John
Duke, T L Emry, J Y Savage, Sam
Harris, J H Wood, Miss Audio Pierce
cud Garrett & Co.
OARllETT fi CO.
Among the most attractive displays
in the building was that of Mc-srs. Gar
rett & Co., which decorated tho first
fleor of Floral Hall. It contained native
wines of various kinds tastefully arranged,
to show the many good qualities of their
several vintages. Their scuppernongs,
Catawba, blackberry etc., were especially
admired by visitors. The firm is now
doing a large business, aud ha' receutly
enlarged their plant hero cons'..: rably.
THE HOP AND GERMAN.
The hop at tho Coast Line Ib.'el Wed
nesday night "vas well intended
and was highly enjoj i by
all who attended. But tho soci d event
of the week was the grand German
Thursday night. It was tho most elegant
ever held in Weldonand was panicipated
in by numbers of dancers, some of the
ladies being from distant States. The
music was the very best that could be
procured, and that means everything-
The costumes worn by the ladies on this
occasion were particularly handsome. We
recall some, and if any are omitted or
any mistakes are made in descriptions
we beg forgiveness, for amid such au
array of loveliness, such charming faces
and sparkling eyes who can help being
bewildered? We notice the following:

white silk and pearl ornaments.

cashmere, Persiau trimmings.

white silk and handsome diamonds.

TOBACCO HAB'.T!
Next to tho whiskey trallie, it is the
most expensive and loathsome hnbit of the
American people. The annual cost tuuk
up into million. The average tobacco
user pays to gratify this unnal un.l appetite
from live to ten times moie than he gives
to support the Church. Shame on us.
This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was in earnest about quitting and
followed directions. Thousands have ben
