The North Carolina Agricultural So
ciety proposes to hold its annual fair in
October next, as usual for the past ten
years, and the undersigned has 'been
elected secretary of the executive com
mittee, and charged with the prepara
tion of the premium lists and all other
business arrangements connected with
the Fair.-
Td the preM of the slate, the Society
is under many and .continuous obliga-J
Hons, both for its kindness in enabling
its officers -to communicate their plans
and wishes to the public, and alsy for
the Uniform encouragement bestowed
at all times upon its efforts toward de
veloping the resources of thefttate and
displaying its numerous products. No
return for ruch services could be made
beyoud the thanks ol 'the officers and
managers of the Society, and such at
tentions a were possible at the annual L
fairs. I hope that the gentlemen of
the press may not become wearr in
well-doing1, but wil( continue to aid aad
assist the Society in all pf its under
takings. " " - ' - --
The general advance in agricultural
improvement, the increased interest
felt ia I he development of manufactur
ing industry, the use of labor-saving
contrivances, and the attention paid to
the education aud elevation of oar peo
ple, are indications of awakened intel
lectual aud industrial activity, and it
is the purpose of the Society to stimu
late this activity and progress by col
lecting together the results into an an
nual exhibit. v , :
I will therefore-thank; the members
of the press ol the state to mention in
the lr journals, that, the secretary is now
engaged iu the preparation of the pre
mium 1 st or the bx position in October
next, and that he solicits suggestions
from ail persons who feel an interest in
the subject, especially in the arrange
ment of? premiums for all industries or
products of North Carolina likely to be
represented. The Society hopes to em
brace in this exhibit every interest of
tue state, whether belonging to agricul
ture, stock raising, mining,, mechanics
or manufacturing, and to so classify the
premiums that alt kinds' of products
snail be suitably considered.
All , correspondence should be ad
dressed to the secretary,' at Raleigh,

The office of the Society is in the
