A, Double U.JJ tk Menu . . & "Who truf ta himself to women, or to wore?, Should never hazard, what Le fears to Jcee." , 'j Sam and bis girl had consulted often and "with great seriousness, orcr the problem 61 the public wed ding, and all ttie grand presents that went with it. They had pic tured out the use jthey would make ri niiri'i mi ww L J ii i.itw of the many beautiful and useful articles'giTen by sympathetic patrons of the Fair. Their hanDtncss ia creased as the time approached, an. frecmrnt visits were essential to a full enjoyment of the situation when either from the fervor of Sam's attentions or his tell tale face, it be gan to leak out that they were the lucky couple, and too frequently for Sam's peace of mind, he was twitted with the soft impeachment. After due notice to his fiancee he began to pay indisciiminate attention to the girls, but true to his nature, he did not a louciect the prettiest: ills cirl bore it patiently for a while, notwithstanding Sam's extra devo tion to the other giils 'were duly re ported by her lynx-eyed ; female friends, but when Sallie saw Sam at Charlie Overman's! theatre jwith a little sparkling beauty with ;eyes so transparent, that through them one sees the soul,' Sail called Sam down, metaphorically kicked him out in the cold. r Oh Jealousy! thou art nurst in hell. Depart from hence, and therein dwell." Sam has not only lost his presents but his dear, precious girl, also, and he spends his days cursing the Fair wedding, his nights bewailing bis Ofit love. ' " But the F-i managers had others ag Uernates booked for this glorious. affair. In fact it had been whisper- ed that one "of the ofilcials high up in the management circle had re peatedly hinted, that all those hand some 'presents would secure his sweetheart's consent, and his own happiness would thcre"by , be made complete, and the programme suc cessfully carried out. However, the plan now is to have a double wedding, and we sincerely beg our friends not to disturb the uaPPy couples by telling on them in advance. I have written of the tragedy above hoping to avoid so direful a catastrophy to those who are so dear to all of us. . Geeesviixe, N. C, Pet. 12.

A large lot of bunting for the buildiDgs in the fair grounds were sent over yesterday. The decora tions are being made under the su pervisnof a tasty person. Its or namentation no doubt will be dono in harmony with good taste and fully equal to the occassion. The military companies of Eden ton and Hertford, have been in vited to attend tlie Fair Thursday, in company with.lhe E. City Naval Reserves. We antfeipate a big bat talion drill and perhaps they will en gage in a sham battle. Come boys burnish up your steel, rub up your brass buttons and j put your best foot foremost as we are going to Lave a big fair and some animating house racing. ' ' ' . i Have you seen the beautiful pair of Leakesville Blankets, with the Cal ifornia finish, given as an award for the finest native ram? To look at the dingy coat upon the fleecy ani mal and then at this rpteizaen of finished product, it wculd seem next to imposible to work such a transformation. ; But such is the triumph of human j ingenuity, skill and experience, i . The Leakesville Woolen Mills have made a specialty for working up the farmers' wool, for cash or on shares, into blankets, figured bed spreads, cassimeres, flannels,. &c., terms for which, with samples, we furnish on application. .

I j "A syndicate, composed of four W uciouuo, uatw icacu . mad or - Park track, grounds and buildings are running this year s Fair, to pock et the surplus profits for. their risk. This is all right, and ; it explains a matter not fully understood. .- i "From an announcement in the claimed to be "organ" of the Fair, there is doubt about that "mar riage" taking-place. The lady of the party first consented to be exhibt- cd has incontinently "kicketP the would be groom ; then a second cou ple was engaged, .; but - lo ! they cculd'nt waite arid kae went and got married. ..... . The above we clip from the North Carolinian, edited by P. John, of this city. Its erudite editor con tinuously blates about promoting the best interest of our citv. " Tender w . m him the diet of a fee or compensa tion and he will blate -louder and longer than any one else, but un fortunately for' him, he has no in fluence whatever, and his paper does not reach the intelligence of this iuiuanifrror the district, and , for .1 : this reason his imaginary syndicate did not give him a morsel. He told a wholesome one last year and was contradicted by the Secretory payr . i . . ... ing" 'over to the.

Exit promoter. Accidents will happen in the best regulated families ' and our .flair managers are not exempt. They' had secured the Earthquake Pilot at a arce cost to eive a pacincr race against time each day of the Fair. A letter received' from Lis owner on Saturday afternoon declared it off on occount of damages sustained while on the 9 " days railroad trip from Iowa in consequence of which however ho has not-only canceled his contract with the Park Fair Mana gers, but with the Norfolk Fair also, since which our hustling ad- vertising agent, has added one more trotting race on the last day of the Fair. Now if you enjoy fast trotting races such as have never before been at any of our previous Fairs, come an id enjoy it. Call at Dr. Aydlett's office till Saturday night for premium list in pamphlet. On Monday- he opens his office at the Fair grounds to take entries, where those who have articles for exhibition will find him at all hours of the day ready to serve you. Remember Monday is entry day. A police force will be on hand to protect your entries at night. This week will) end the prepara tory work of the Fair. Now lets see the result of four months ardu ous work by the managers to open one that will be in every way worthy of your patronage. Come and bring your wives' and children and your exhibits and let's have a royal good time. You will surely see much to interest you, some of which you will be able to j utilize to profit to yourself and friends.

Do not neglect to report' your schools aver- age aiienaance.- it aoes not re quire large schools to compete but small cnes stand an equal 1 if not a better show of the award.' Our excellent Secretary seems to be very much dated over his success in securing the candidates for mat rimony at the Albemarle Park Fair on Wednesday' next Oct. 11, at 3 o'clock p. m. To him and Mr. Chas. ir ii- ' morgan me , managers ieei very much indebted for valuable services rendered in filling j tho matrimonial programme. Had (they failed to ac complish it the board would have insisted on their coming to the front and before the vast audience, and had a stag marriage; such being the case they sought every y nook and corner of the neighborhoods in quest ! of parties who would consent to have the nuptial tie made in the Fair grounefs. Thej managers have given themselves rtb little concern about th marriarreband it is with : o muqh pleasure that; they are enabled to announce that tlie couple will be joined in holy wedlock and be the recinients of the mkuv sriits tender-; ed to the bride ail groom by our cenerous citizens oil this eventful - .j-:-.,-- occasion. i. At our Secretary office can be seen that splendid ' pair of large, heavv - blankets, donated by the Leaksville Woolen Hills for the best native ram exhibited - at - the Albe- marie Park Fair.1 Call arid see them. You would hardly believe that such fine blankets could be made in the old North ; State. jThe - Secretary will take great pleasure in showing them, and at the same-time will give you one of tneir radvertisements, wMch may interest ly'ou.- Now leis see who will place on exhibition the best ram next we4k, , Remember, later n you will ueedj the wintry season puts in an appear ance.
