For best exhibit of needle work, Mrs. II. M. Thomp son, Lewiston. In aeveial CAses. especially in the ladies deportment,, I found it very d if ficult to make the awa-d. owing to the sreneral excellence of the exhibits, but taking in consideration the number of exhibits ma'e br each ono. And the excellence of ti e articles together, I thought that the persons named ue served the prizes. A Jgood many were disappointed because the prize was not awarded the prettiest youn": lady. It was not convenient for rae to attend the fair on Wednesday, and as your prize was offered to the prettiest girl present on that day, I did not, think it would be fair to award it any other day, DS.

Swell high our festal song to-d.iy, la many an o'd familiar strain; Let friendship here holil sovereig x sway , And crowu'd by truth and valor reign. No nobler love the heart may thrill, Than that which friendship renders dear; No purer, loftier zeal cau till The suul, than that which fills it here. The voices of the Past we hear; We see familiar forms again; Though mein'ry cla ms the bitter tear For those on whom we call iu vain. ! ' Their memor' through our festal hymn, Entwii.es a mournful, tender strain; Their worth, which tinn nor death can dim ltobs the sad heart of half its pain . - I i . : T me urges on Us rapid tide, Its crumbling b inks forever fall: Its bubbles glitleriug as they glide To the dark sea that swallows all. !. Fleeting, alas, the shadowy scene To those, who, from this day; can see Up to the last, that tells, between Is spread a quarter century. I Many npon that joyous day, Started upon the race of life; Now. here aud there oue bent and grey, Survives the stem and eager strtie . Speed! speed the golden moments on I Our re-union still we greet, VVhat'er the triumphs war has won. His waves break harmless at our feet. A new line of choice confectioner ies, and the splendid breakfast .food "wheatlet", just receiyed by D, A. Da ' i : : THE BIG JFAIR. The Fair for 1887 has come - and gone, and with it came snccess, satis faction and enjoyment. Its wonderful - - - success as to exhibits in every depart ment and in the financial receipts has been a source of gratification to the managers and friends of the Fair. Its great success is attributed not only to Ihe perseverence and hard work of the energetic and pushing President and Secretary, but to every manager of the occasion, both here and elsewhere, whose efforts have been united in every uudertaking. j The town people have worked to make it a success, and the county people have done likewise. Both have shown the great interest they felt Jo lbs enterprise, and to their untiring efforts loo much praise cannot be given. ' FJoral hall was beautifully and taste fully decorated with flowers, ever greens, banners, paintings, fruits and fancy work of every kind and descrip. lion. It was the utterance of every lip that the ladies ; bad done their whole duty, anc? the; exhibits of their work surpassed all expectations, and of any previous occasion that has eyer taken place in our section.: In department A. could be seen every variety of field and garden pro ducts, bales of cotton, hay, fodder, peanuts, oats, corn, beans, !pea3, pota toes, wheat, fljnr, meal eidons, beets, turnips, cane, I broom corn, celerj, pumpkins, goads, waiermelons, pars nips, pop corn, orchard grass, pepper, clover, &c. The exhibits in this de partment were especially good. Mrs II C Maddrcy, exhibited twelve beets weighing eighty seven pounds, one of which weighed thirteen. In department B. the exhibits of live stock were very : creditable, and showed the interest that our people are takir.g in improved slock. Horses, mules, jack, bulls, cows, heifers, boars, sows, pigs, sheep. &c, of the very best breeds, Holstein and Jersey cows. . In department C, Pantry Supplies, the ladies displayed much care and attention. Loaf bread, rolls, biscuits, corn bread, cakes of all kinds, dried truits. soaps, lard vinegar, tomato cat sup. pickles, beeswax, suet, molases, jelly, wines, cordials, preserved fruits, citron, chow chow, honey, butter, and hams. ; I'M In department D., Poultry, every coop was filled, and more were entered. Almost every variety of turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, guineas. This display attracted a great deal of atten tion and was much admired. In department E Manufactured Textiles, were leather, harness, buck ets, tobacco, stationery, axe helves, brooms, tin ware &e. j In department F. was the grandest display of all. The Davis Sewing Machine bv E C Welser, and the Piano and Organ exhibit by Hume' Minor & Co. These exhibits attracted more attention than all else in the main building combined. We are glad to know that the exhibitors were highly pleased and much profited by 'heir exhibits. ; In department fruits, the exhib its were not so numerous, but was a good showing for so poor a fruit 3ear as this has been. To describe department H, and dc justice to ihe great and varied work by the ladies would take every column of U;e Index. One gentleman who has visited a number of fairs in Penn sylvania. Virginia, and North Carolina, this fall, told us that it surpassed any thing that he had seen anywhere. In department 1, there was a splen did exhibit of paintings, drawings, &c. Mr. Geo T Dardeu had his Cotton Seed Crusher and Grinder in opera tion and the public was much pleased with its work.- A gentleman from Northampton who has used ono for five years, says that he would not be without it for five times its cost. Then there wa3 a seeder aad harrow by a New York firm that was examined and found to be a useful machine. The manufacturers mako a mistake in not exhibiting more machinery here. BUGGIES. We were pleased to nee on exhibi tion two buggies, an; open and a top buggy, by Mr. E, S. Dail. of Windsor, Bertie county, j Tue open buggy at tracted much attention for its light ness and the style of its finish, and tbe top buggy is a model of comfort and style. Both i buggies combined several new features in their general makeup. Mr. Dail keeps abreast, of the times, and we are proud to see a home firm capable of supplying the demands of lha public. At the fair last year no buggies were on exhibi tion except from beyond the State. The judges awarded the premium for the highest merit of work to these buggies. Mr. Dail ; recently built a nice omnibus for the Bay View Hotel, at Edenton, which; has been very highly spoken of by the traveling onblic, Messrs. A Wrenn & Son, of Norfolk, had a large exhibit of buggies, road carts &c. This firm takes a great in terest in our fair and they receive a good patronage from onr people. Their work Is both nice and eubataptial Messrs. Brown, Jesaop & Co.. exhibit ed a two horse wagon. music Music was furnished by the Frank lin Band. This Band is'compoeed of a clever set of young gentlemen, and their music was much admired and highly complimented. TRIALS OF SPEED.

Smith of Raleigh, with a few polished and appropriate remarks. Col, Holt does not claim to be an orator but as to good sense and practical thoughts he cannot be surpassed. His speech was heard with much interest, and was spoken of by the crowd as one of the mot appropriate speeches they ever heard for an occasion of the kind. m'm .w&f sIXGOEI) SPOOL COTTON, YOU CAN BUY IT OF: GrTRARD 5H !
