The Fair just closed has been a grand
success in every particular. ... I>arge
numbers of strangers from all over the
State'were in attendance, and it seemed
as if' a general;J\oliday was in progress.
The stock and fruit exhibits, especially
the latter, wot|kf do credit to any fair.
It is hard to beat this portion of the
State in a fruit show. 1
The fancy/work shpwn by the ladies
was remarkable ;for iti excellence. The
races were ’prominent features, and
i good speed was friade by the horses par
ticipating. Some talk has beeii in
| dulged in ih regard to some of the
I races being ‘.‘sold,” with what truth we
do not know,, lAit-we trust there is rto
| foundation for 'such rumors. This is
| the first exhibition of the Western
[North Carolina: Fair Association* and
| a very creditable show was made,[con
! sidering the. ipi*x|<erience of the man
i agers. The;gr|nd stand, which is cap
jable of .seating, 2,000 people, was al
1 most filled jduring nearly the entire
1 time of the Fait, and besides, hundreds
i of people wefe scattered over, the
1 grounds, which' makes us estimate the
entire number: of visitors in the four
I days at at Je4st 10,000. This is a
number far:in excess of the most san
guine expectations, ^nd every one in
Asheville ami Western North Carolina
should feel an honest pride in at con
templation of the success anil good re
sults of the. exhibition just closed.
Governor Jarvis opened the Fair in
a speech full nfr eulogistic remarks on
the material, progress of Western North
Carolica. HJe adverted to the great
possibilitiesin store for us agricultural
ly and mechanically. He paid a
glowing tribute especially to thtfprog
ress made by - Asheville during the
past four y&rsjiand in short, praised
us all so much that it may make us
conceited. : Governor Jarvis was the
recipient of,loud and continued ap
plause during and at the close pf his
speech; V
Creditable displays of the [.eculiar
industries of the region west of the
Blue Ridge were made. Smokihg to
bacco by Messrs J? M. Ray and E.
I. Holmes & Ox Photographs
Stereoscopic' views by Nat VV. Taylor
and W. T. Robertson; applet and
other fruits by'Capt. Neill, of Yancey,
A. B. Thrash, of Hominy, Messrs.
Clark of Haywood, Lucas, of Transyl
vania, and others. Mr. Kimberley, of
Asheville had on exhibition twenty
five varieties of apples and ten varieties
of [.ears. Caot. M. J. Fagg, Sam
Merrell and J.; Pickens, of Buncombe
county also had a very nice display of
apples and other fruits on exhibition
The Fruit Exhibit was under the charge
of Capt Natt .itkinson who thoroughly
understands ty>w to conduct such a
show, lx;ing. ap old fruit cultivator him
self. ' ,
Floral Hall was devoted to the ex
hibit of latifres handiwork, amongst
those articles: worthly of s[xreial com
mendation lejng several quilts ;■ of re
markable lieauty. Messrs Pelham, of
this city nufije an exhibit of drugs,
which attracted considerable attention.
The Singer Sewing Machine Cb. also
made a good show. Pianos and or
gans were exhibited by an Knoxville
music house,i The Indian and darkey
foot races were much enjoyed by the
spectators* but the Indian ball game
seemed to excite more attention than
any other feature of the entire,: show.
Kighteen full blooded Gherokees were
engaged, and a hard looking set they
were. The glass-ball and clay‘pigeon
shooting matches, participated in by
several of Asheville's most prominent
marksmen,. Were both won by Mr. J.
F. Jordan who seems to carry Off the
honors no platter where he enters the
field of marksmen.
In shorf, the Fair was a grand suc
cess. Everybody seems to be satisfied,
but a few who foiled to get prizes on
their stock; and considerable complaint
has been made on the streets about this.
()f the truth or falsity of these reports
we know nothing, and, therefore, can
do no mote than merely chronicle the
rumors. ?
Bear in mind that since Abram Lin
coln was inaugurated the Republicans
in office have stolen $45,000,600, ac
cording to j^he express admissions of
Cabinet officials in their reports, And
that is really a small portion of the
stealage. 'I’nrn the rascals but and

the British legation. It is now rented
to the retired Chicago merchant, Mr,

Blaine is evidently a very frugal and
thrifty man io be able to build such a
bouse add accumulate about g 1,000,
000 besides, on a salary of $5,000 a
