There is no reason why any farmer

O DAY SO BEAUTIFUL, SO BRIGHT !
Whoever it was that originated' the

ing State Fail1, he is certainly worthy
of a monument more enduring than
I Cleopatra's Needle. When that cheer
ing announcement went abroad over
our fair State, how many a gloomy
sanctum lightened ! How man a
j worn and cadaverous editor drew up
! the belt around his attenuated waist
another notch, and murmured hope
- j fully "At lastlat last! It comes that
j bright and beautiful square meal! In
the hey-day of young manhood, when

THE JAMES GRAPE.

measuring from 2 to .3 inches in cir-
cjumfereuee, and. its! flavor surpasses
that of any other known grape. It is
very dark plum color, almost black.
Mr, B. M. W. James, of Bethel. Pitt

SEVEN LEAGUE BOOTS
! PROGRESS.
OF
It is pretty clear that the' South has
ho time to wrangle over battle flags
and none to waste in mourning over a
'lost cause.'' She has "a new found
cause" worth a dozen of that she drop
ped on the field of Appomattox the
pause of industry, which is her health,
plenty arid happiness.
It used to be said in the old days
before the4 war that the South looked
fown on the North. However that
my be, if she goes on in mining and
manufacturing enterprise for twenty
Hears more as she has been going on
during the last half decade the North
will have to strike a new gait or the
South will be looking back at her in
he race. : ' ,
Her progress during the last eight
nonths makes the seven league boots
)f Jack the Giant Killer quite unnec
essary. The capital she has invested
luring that time is considerably over
wo millions of dollars. In seven
years she has established fifteen thou
sand new industries, and her iron
mining increase has jumped from
three hundred and ninety-even thou
sand tons to nearly nine ; hundred
thousand tons, with machine shops;
our mills, cotton mills, lumber mills,
nd in fact everything else in propor-
lon. ' ..v . .
The South is not putting on any
jairs, but she is making barrels of
jmonev. All rieht. She has a mag-:
nificent section of the country and U
working it for all it is worth. Aew
