The Cumberland Fair.
The 12th Annual Fair of the Cum
berland county Agricultural Society
was held in the town of Fayetteville
on the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th inst.
The weather, though threatening for
one or two days was generally favor
able, and the exhibition taken as a
tfiiole was one of the .best we ever
witnessed. The entries in every de
partment were more uiumerous than
at any exhibition held since the war
and in the ladies departments the
display was j-not only attractive and
beautiful but really it was superior
to the Exhibition by the ladies at our
State Fair- ' , -
FLORAL HALL.
Here. we noticed specimens of home
made jeans, blankets, flannels, quilts
counterpaines &c. There were no
foreign manufacturers, such as silks,
merinos, caces ribbons &c., iroor the
mecf hunts ot Fayetteville, in order
l j ''iill np" as an esteemed cotempo
rary terms it. The Exhibition was
really creditable in every particular
and the Jadies of old Cumberland de
serve great praise for their efforts to
build up one ot the best i airs of thd
old North State. We regret that
our space is limited cunsequently
,ve can make but few special notices.
iVe observed in Floral Hall a beau-
if nl pair of cotton socks which were
nit vy a.iaay z years or ago. - we
lout know her name,butit is enough
o eay mac sne is a citizen oi tnra
jerland county we were told that
he planted the cotton, cultivated it,
icked it out, spun it and then
init the socks. JNorth Carolinians
Iiould feel proud of such women.
vc trust our worthy friends, of the
server and Eagle will give tjie
public her name.
From the North Carolina Gazette
61 tne lytn we clip tne lollowing:
"Here the display was very attrac
tive and beautiful, and the ladies de
Berve the thanks of the society for
tie large measure in which they con
tributed to the success of the fair.
Jl noticeable ,fact in this and all the
ther halis was that it was strictly
in industrial and agricultural exhi
bition ; there were no show-cases

here were beautiful 'home-made
ans, flannels and blankets, among
e exhibitors oi which were Mrs.

d talent in every touch) Mrs. Jsck
n, miss unamDeriam and others.
J. M. Lamb, Florist, had a magni
cut collection of flowers from his nur-
y on Haymount. We saw very fine
ccimenf of moss work by Mrs. Jack-
l, of Asheboro : amous; the most in-
fcresting articles which came under our
itjtice were a fountain tree by Mrs. T.
l! Jones, and a large entomological col
ltion by Mr. Stephen Worth, an en
tmsiastic student of insect life. As to
th crochet work, nee(He work, embroi
dery, &c, it is impossible to make even
amention of their variety and excel

Farmers'- Hall.
The collection here was fine, showing
fo: this section a high degree of culti
vj ion. Among the largest exhibitors
ii iiis department were Messrs. Pearee,
Iiwrence, Evans, Thames, and Alder
irin. ,Mr, P. A. Wiley, of Raleigh,
03 libited splendid specimens of cele-
MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT.
The display here was very good.
Messrs. McXethan & Sons had some
of their incomparable work the
iri( 3t beautiful buggy among other
ye iicles; Messrs. Bryan & Sons, Mr.
Gjeer, and Mr. J. 'W. Welsh, with
a ht of his splendid wagons, receiv

uicioug which was a pick for mill
stones a most admirable labor

exaibited a washing machinecon
ceded to be one of the best, in all re-
Bpuci, ever invented.
t ' LIVE STOCK.
The exhibition was . measrrd.
Messrs. Faison. Burns. Evans 'and
Williams had some find bldoded
Itofk, but the collection was small.
Mr Evans entered a very fine cow.
Which was n$ked on the ground,and
the result of the milking, a water
bucket heaping full of cream milk,
wa3 shown during the5 Fair.
FOOD AND CONDIMENTS'. '
I Here we shall attempt no notice.
The exhibition was magnificent, and
the ladies covered themselves with
lory. In this department Mrs. W
C. Troy was the largest exhibitor,
having entered about 90 articles."
In the department of household
supplies which our i friends term
"rood and Condiments," wo must
say that the display was the best we
have ever seen at any Fair in JNorth
Carolina. Here we noticed cakes,
preserves,, jellies, pickles, salads,
am and Icabbage. pork and leans.
all sorts of deserts such as pies.
astards, etc , indeed we can't enu-
merate everything, but do not hesi
tate to say that the show was per
fect. Mrs. Trov. the wife of ex-Sen-
ator V. C. TrOy, of Cumberland
connty', made the best display in this
department. Would i that we had
many such ladies in our citytotaid
in making the exhibitions at the
State Fair equal to that of old Cum
berland. ,! '
The! Poultrv Department was
r j' W a i
really excellent; indeed e'qual if not
surpassing the State Fair.
, The j Agricultural Implements and
machinery, while not j very numer
ous, were good. I
Upon the whole we regard the
Cumberland County Fair as one of
the permanent institutions of North
Carolina. We might make some
suggestions which would add greatly
to the 'receipts but will not do so for
the present. 1 i
I Great credit is due i the ; manage
ment of the Fayetteville Fair. The
President, Maj. Evans, and Secreta
ry Alderman, are very efficient
and faithful officers.; During our
visit we heard no grumbling, indeed,
no cause for complaint, but all spoke
in the highest terms of the officers.
