1 have just returned from the Simp
son County Agricultural Fair held at
Clinton last' wee!;. This YfaSj taken
.altogether, the best Fair- in the State
.this jettii There was more lire stock,
and better stock than I have ever seen
.at ;Fajrt Jiomof . t h ec e-bogs : ,and
cattle I am' satisfied, were equabtoany
in the United States.-1 Fifteen yoke of
the nne3tandmo&t superb pxen.'head
ed by one still Jarger, in all 31 oxep
were hitched to a huge triumphal
car on which iwas carriedi three hogs;
one weigning Qer ivvv fpound8 anq
the other two of eight months old
weighing some .200 each Following
this was a large number of snlendid
horses, fine cattle, in the parade.
There were over. 1400 entries in all, of
wbich pvO. weref,in floral. Hall, but
the display, and flualtyoof articles in
this departmeu t: h aid ly equalled our
rocent Cumberland Fair. , In Aricul
tural products the Sampson Fair was
but little inferior; to, the exhibition in
the Live .Stock,. Department. Fine
potatoes, corn, vegetables, and every
species of. farm prod net twere; well rep
resented, and many fine implements of
Husbandry, aud also articles of : work;
manship in wood: and .metal. .Nearly
all these articles were produced at
7iomet either grown on Sampson soil or
fashioned by the skilled bauds of our
inecuamcs.t ; ' me Sampson r air is
strictly an: Agricultural institution, and
is, I believe, ,the best .representation
at home. industiy and native produc
tion in the South. .
There was very large crowd Thurs
day and Fr iday and the attendance
was good all the time. t The whole oc
casion was one of unusual pleasant
ness. The management was excellent,
and Col. A. A. McKoy, Chief Marshal
and lutf&;tH3-wer:inbst attentive
and accommodating iu their duties.
The officers of the Society, also as
heretofore- distinguished themselves
by a courteous and faithful perform
ance of their responsible duties. This
Fair was fully equal to any in the State
in social5 enjoyment and the pleasure
of mingling "with hospitable aud re
fined people." One of the greatest ben
efits of our Fairs is the social meeting
of friends,1 and the forming of new ac
quaintances. " 'In' hospitality the peo
ple of Sampson and especially Clinton;
surpass any people ! have seen.
In all ih'e arts and industries, in en -terprise,
intelligence and 'successful
farming, Sampson is equal to any coun
ty in this"' State. " For several years
the county, has been much underrated.
