And Peter Lincoln McGuire says
how he aint agoing to let old Thomas
Jefferson Snipes get ahead of him,
for ho reckons he can count as many
noses as old Snipes can any day.
And as for this child he is there
right now. " And Sal that's my old
woman she vows how she's agoing
or bust a trace, and you know what
that means when a woman says it.
And the children they are all a cry
ing and a sobbing for to go, and
darn me if that old high-headed,
long-neck Lanshang rooster of mine
don't throw himself back on his dig
nity every tim? he crows and sings
out "Al-be-marle Park Fair-oo." The
question with me is "not who is go
incr to the Fair but who is going to
keep house ? At my home the thing
is narrowed down to a stump-tail,
yellow dog.
GREAT EDUCATIONAL AND SUNDATSCHOOL
DAT.
Why they tell me they are agoing
to reverse the order of things in gen
eral and instead of having the first,
last they are actually going to have
the first, first, and that it is to be'
f mr w w
a great Dig, rousing, wnaie oi a nrst. i
The Hon. C. H. Mebane, Supt. of
l uuuu xuaii uiiiuu ui cue ttuiu
of North Carolina, is to be there and
Public Instruction of the great State
wake up the whole conglomerated
mass 01 nuuianuy on me suojeet, 01
pulific school education. This piece
of humanity will sartinly be waked
up, for I shall be there. Then there
is that distinguished gentleman,
Rev. J. C. Kilgo. He is a live man,
they say, and I can well believe it, for
any man will kill or go then h
certainly means business. . But they
ST2,iie2d,t
te some times goes into a regular
skinning business, so that by the
time he gets through a, fellow could
I n rrnml era fonnAnr Well T
am in for the game any how, hide or
rio hide. '
Then there is ReT. J. W. Bailey,
the man wno sits on a tripod and
drives a gdose-quill and slings ink
worse than . a dipper-dredge slings
mud. Why they say he is a coming
r?p5
question, but bless you,-tremendous
issues are wrapped np -in it. Why
that' question has been perplexing
the 'world ever since mother Eve
took little Cain, all doubled up with
the colic, e! pawing the " air and a
kicking worse than an , army mule
and a squealing like a locomotive
and said, here Adam take this air
child till I rest up a spell and can
run out to get some herbs to expe
the demons out of his abdominal
regions. Father Adam -he yanked
up that youngster kind of awk
ward-likey for it was new business
to him, and be walked around slowly
at first, trying to quiet the child, and
then he began to prance about a lit
tie more lively and by j and by he
struck a dog trot. But no good
little Cain kept up hisgynastics, and
his lung exercise. ! And Adam he
commence a panting and a turnin
red in the .face and a mutterin
something mighty strong. Presently
he grit his teeth (down hard and
says he, Eve if you ? want a live
youngun you better 'come and take
this air child for he's powerful bad
off and mighty nigh expiring.
That question has been a distub
ing element in our1 domestic circle
lo! these many years. And if that
great newspaper man from Raleigbis
agoing to settle it . solidly, finally
and everlastingly then you never
seed such a crowd as will be there
to hear him. I hope and pray that
he'll decide in favor of the women's
taking the child. Cause they know
just how to handle the dear little
innocent creature. irAny body knows
an ungainly, awkword heavy-handed
man aint fit to take the child. I am
going to risk the. Rev.' jJ W. Bailey
on this 'portant subject any how
kase they tell me jhe's a man of
sense. j . '
Then Sunday schools from all
over the district will be there to
compete for libraries and other use
ful prizes offered for the best sing
ing. Why you can just saturate
yourself through and through with
the melody of song, and roll and wal
ler and slosh around in music to
your heart's content. -It's also whis
pered that Hon. Tt J. Jarvis will be
there and possibly a number of
other celebraiies. L ;
But I can't begin to tell how
many attractions are offered. It is
already put in .the record however,
that the first day is to have one oi
he biggest gatherings that ever as
sembled in Eastern North Carolina.
The price will be put down to the
smallest amount. Boys ; and girls,
young men and pretty maidens, old
men and noble matrons and andV
babies will bd there. If you want a
staving good time come j and jine
old Zeke for he jwill sartinly be
here if times aint 'mighty bilious in
his neighborhood. Itere's three
cheers for the Fair. ' More anon.
Yours truly,
Zeke.
THE SPINNING WHEEL AGAIN.
Our suggestion in last week's is
sue, that there should be an old-time
spinning wheel, in actual Operation,
at our next Fair, has met with uni-
T-orcsit nnnrobation. IVTanV have T6
I VWihUA mtmjj v y
marked that they would come to the
j
'air to see that alone and thus re-
vivfi the feelinrrg of their childhood.
some of our northern friends have
old us that they had never seen a
spinning wheel such as found by the
fire side of bur Southern home, and
they would feel conpensated for a
visit to the Fair, if they could see
such.
Will not some good lady who will
manage such a wheel, cdrresponed
with our secretary Br. Hr T. Aydlett?
He is anxious to have such a fea
ture at' the Fair, j and will gladly
give any information wished.
The Southern Planter, published
in Richmond, Va., offers four sub
scriptions, us special premiums, for
exhibits as follows: One year's
subscription or the best bushel of
Irish potatoes j six month's subcrip
tion for the second bst bushel of
rish potatoes'; one year's subscript
tion'for the best bushel of sweef
potatoes; six month's subcription
for'the second bushel of sweet po
tatoes. This is a generous offer on
the part of this most excellent agri
cultural journal, and should, as
doubtles3it will, bring forth more
to improve the agricultural interests
of the South than any other paper,
and should be read by every pro
gressive fanner. ;
ATTENTION.
Stockholders, from 6ur etTorts
has been built the Albemarle Park
Fair, the most worthy public iusti

every trade and profession.
It will

every
county in the First; Congressional
District of North' Carolina.
Stockholders, if you have not such
. .. 1 r ,
a portrait of yourself, you should
have, and how is the, time for you
to obtain such a .one. Mr. W. H.
Zoeller; our popular Water street
photographer, is giving special rates
to our stockholders and their wives.
Life-size portraits wliich he ordinar
ily sells -for four dollars, he is now
selling to the stocMiblders for one
dollar and a half.! Don't overlook
this matter. If vou! haven't this

a good portrait, will bever be ur-
passed. It is the desire of all that
the crand croupe at our Fair be
complete.
EAIR MOTES.
Do not foisget that we cheeky free
of charge, all baskets and -accom
panying parcels. This is something
hew for agricultural; fairs, but we
are all in for a pleasant time, a time
of ' sight-seeing and wonder-seeking.
We will have no time to devote to
the care of our baskets, and the Fair
authorities are determined that noth-

For the cohvenience of those who
do not wish to be bothered by bring
ing food for their horses, feed will
be furnished on the grounds for five
cents.. This feed will consist of a
bundle of fodder and a half gallon

how little we can .afford to take. You wuj find it

you trade 6omewhero else or here. If you want that
difference in your pocket instead of in the storekeep
