Eh ill Wo havoa Fair?
The Marion Agricultural Society
some* fnoiitfis since determined lo
have a Fair, believing that this would
contribute more to the success of the
planting interest than anything that
could be devised.
In order to put into practical op
eration this design, committees have
been appointed to solicit contribu
tions from tiie citizens o f the county.
These committees have undertaken
tiiis du'y, ami we are grieved to note
the great indisposition upon the peo
ple to respond to this noble enter
prise. This is evidently, a move
looking to the advancement of agri
cultural interest. Will the planters
who are immediately uneras ed, let
this opportunity pass without improv
ing the same ?
It would seem that there would bo
found more unwilling to assist. Leav
ing county pride out of the question,
will not the hope of exciting a spirit
of rivalry, thereby increasing the
yield of votir farms, and consequent
ly putting-more money in your pock
et, induce you to act in harmony
with the Society?
Wo have never yet been able to
.see w hy planting should u->t (if prop
erly managed) ba made reuiuneia

wealth, and the foundation of a'l

the sooner tiie bet er. We give il
us our opinion tm.it, what might re

in one year by the citizens of a coun

Twelve p’antirs might, and with
proper concert, w ml I in one se .sou
acquire as much experimental knowl
edge of planting as one plant- r could
in twelve seasons, thus saving to each
eleven years of trial and imperfect
; ,nd unprofitable p anting, and if this
is true, in what a short tune could
the development of a century be
made known. But, per hapyou are
curious to know what this has to do
with our caption, wo answer, much.
We do not knew of any plan so
promising as that of a Fair; for the
following reasons:
Ist. This with proper premiums
would stimulate to greaur extension,
and elicit much thought and varied
experiments.

It will inform the planning in’ erst
how to make I,ho greatest vield with
the least cost. In short, it will
crowd into one year the benefit of
experience, which without it \fouid
require a lilcthne.
WILL YOU HESITATE ?
We cannot, have a fund without
money, the ground must be prrpar
ed, the pr.-nrums must bo paid or
else a failure, and this cannot be
done without money. The Execu
tive Comm ttec will give their time,
and skill, free of-charge. Will you
let this opportunity fail ? Wo hope
not.
'file man that can instruct (lie
planter how, wi ll the same labor
and cost, lie can double tlm increase
of his farm,-bo will have done more
for the good of mankind, than the
most illustrious statesman, or the
mightiest warrior on I. .Tory's pages.
The poor wild love in life and revere
his memory when departed. The
rich, and the wise will do him prop- r
homage. His name will be immor
tal - Who will s rike for this noble
brow ? Very Respectfully

the title of colonel upon every male

out regard to co ! or or previous con

Cidonolesses. Here is the true line
of progress. While colonels arc in
fashion let ns make the most of them.
Let us utilize, them, as it were, for
th ■ purpose of advancing civilization.
It is idle for mou who have no title
to sneer at those who have. What
would Georgia do without her hun
dred thousand colonels? Without
its colonels, what a weak and vapid
body the legislature would be. Ah,
no ! let us cling to our colonels. In

The K.-v. Sunnel Sheffield Snow
t reaclied on Sunday afternoon in tho
M. Jicnl College, at, Fourth avt-nue
and twenty-third street, about the
end of the world, which ha.said was
not. far off. ‘“B.bylon is on fire,"
lie explained. “In 1844 the times
of the Gentiles were ended; the wo
man on the seai K t bea-t is now be
ing worried by the ten horns of. the
animal she rides; the war in Europe
means the working out of the pro
phecy, and befi re long the people oi
God will come forth from the dust
an l stand resplendent as the sun in
the presence of the Almighty.” In
working up to tins point the speaker
asked incidentally, but emphatically
whether the people of God were to
b ; found wi bin the pale of the
Church of Rome, whereupon an el
derly hearer repliedly: “Some of
'em air,” and walked out in the midst
of violent reproof by the preacher.
The Rev. John Davenport, who
~dined i.imseif as “an evangelist
serving under apostl-s res ored to
the church,” preached in the church
Montgomery and Morrison streets,
on “Reasons for believine; that the
time of our Lord's personal return
very near.” One reason given by
him was that, notwithstanding Christ
k.. lb. en bora over e ghleon Centu
ries, the world wa3 still fearfully
wicked. Also, that scandal was life
and delighted in; also, that money
was pr zed more than ever, and
wherever there was a trust there Was
always n defa'cation. Another sign
was the disobedience of children to
parents, -who could not control them
as formerly. This, tin speaker said,
was. owing to tiie general spirit of
disobedience abroad, which neither
obeyed nor had faith in teacher or
rulers, but assumed a personal inde
pendence. The sun, moon and stars,
spoken of in Luke, which were to
give signs, meant the leaders of men
who Would feel the appioaeh of the
second Coming and annnouce it; and
the Lord had created newspapers and
t-Ugaphs to fat-il tate their announce
ment-i. The seas ami lakes spoken of in
Luke as roaring, doubtless indicated
tug murmurs of the people, whose
voice was loudly heard, and would
u the end control all governments.
The llev. Wi ey Joues, of Nor
tolk, Va., spwke in national Hall
Willatnsburg, on “The Kingdom of
God soon to be Literally and Visibly
Established on Earth.” Mr. Jones’
were extemporaneous, and he had no
il finite toYt, quoted liberally from
the 01 i Testament in the course of
his addiess, in which he Said: The
Kingdom of God will be set up on
earth, and will he just as literal and
visible as any earthly monarchies that
have already existed. The crisis wi'l
occur whete the Euphrates is drying
up—that is, when the Turkish Em
piieis being destroyed. The crisis
is iudicited in the thirty-eight chap
ter Ezekiel: the great Russian shall
march “Out of his place in tho nortu
parts. ’’ This is said to occur when
all men that are ou the face of the
earth shall shake, ut the preseuoe of
the Lord.” The second verse of Ezo
kiel, thirty-eight, should read: “The
Prince of Rush, Meschek and Tubal,”
the Rosh being the Russian. lie as
serted his belief that the end ol the
world is near at hand, and implored
his hearers to seek the throne of
grace before it was too late.

JAPANESE FANS.
The manufacture of fans is an
important branch of industry in
.Japan, and no fewer than 3,000,-
OOfl-funa,. vailutid at $90,000 sc.
cording to Mr Consul Anncsley’s
commercial report on Iliogo and
Osaka, lately issued, exported
from those parts in 1875. Osaka
is the principal city for the man
ufacture of the ’“pgi” or folding
fans, which are those almost ex
clusively exported, all descrip
tions of tho bamboo kind being
made there, the figure writing
&c. being executed in Kiyoto.
The principal of devision of labor,
as explained in an extract from
the Iliogo News , quoted bv Con
sul Annesley,- is carried out a
long way in the branch of indus
try. The bamboo ribs of tho fans
are made by private people in
their own houses, and comhina
tionof the various notches cut in the
lower part is left to One of the fin
ishing workmen, who for ns the
various patterns of the handles ac
cording to the j)!ans prepared by
the designer. In like manner the
designer gives out to the engrav
ers the patterns that he think will
be saleable, and when the blocks
have been cut decides what colors
are to be used for each part of
the design, and what different
sheets are to be used for the oppo
site side of each fan. When
t tese sheets with the sets of bam
boo slips which are to form the
ribs have been handed over id
the workmen, he, in the first in
stance, folds them so as they will
retain the crease. This is done by
putting them betwen two heavily
oiled papers, which are properly
creased . The fans are then
folded together and placed under
pressure. When sufficient time
as elapsed the sheets are taken
out and the molds used again, the
released sheets being packed up
foratleast twentyfourhours in their
folds. The ribs which are tempo
rarily arranged on a wire, are
then taken and set in their places
on one of the sheets after it has
been spread out on a block and
pasted. A da*h of paste then give
the wood work adkesivo powers,
and that part of the procss is fin
ished dy affixing the remaining
piece of paper. The fan is fold
ed u] and opened three or four
times before the folds get in prop
er shape, and by time they are put
a side to dry it has received an
amount of handling that Japanese
paper alone would endure. When
the insides are dry the riveting
of the pieces together (including
the outer cover! ig) is rapidly
done, and a dash of varnish quick
ly finished the fan. The highest
priced fan that was ever ' MSe ,j j n
the days of seclusion frr.m tho nnt
er world was not mo', than five
yen, Since foreigners havo been
in Japan, however, some few have
been made to rder as deer as 010
and sls each. The general
prices of ordinary fans range fr 'in
50 yep per 100 to 15 yen per 100
thO’agh an extaordinari'y costly fan.
is turned out at 50 yen per 100.
The number of fans ordered for
the Philadelpia Exhibition alono
amounted to over 800,000 at a cost
of about $50,000. The sa'o of
fans in olden times seldom exceed
ed 10,000 a year for the whole
countrv.
