We acknowledge the reception o'
the “Schedule of Premiums” of tin*
third grand annual Fair of the Cot
ton slates to beheld at Augusta Ga.,
commencing Oct. 22 nd, and contin
uing live days.
The Association i.s making every
effort to make this I'air a marked
success.
We annex the introductory
of the president which clearly ex
plains the aim and object ot the As
sociation.
In the preparation of the following
Premium List of the Third' Grand
Annual of the Cotton
States Mechanics’ and Agricultural
Fair Association, many changes have
suggested themselves from the Lists
ot the past years. These changes are
the results of experience,gained from
the Exhibitions already held, and
which have enabled t lie various Com
mittee s of the Associat on to become
more familiar with details, as well as
with the general necessities of the
producers of the Cotton States in
connection with the consumers.
The legitimate objects to be ac
complished by all agricultural and
mechanical exhibitions are, it is be
lieved, to bring together the repre
sen tatives'of all industries, that each
may learn the wants of the other ; to
affoid an opportunity for witnessing
and becoming acquainted with the
merits ®f the improvements of t lie
day, to have*decided by tho judg
mentof competent and reliable Com
mittees what is wortLy and what is
not, and to encourage and promote
the progressive and useful in every
branch.
In associations like ours, it is un
fortunately, much more easy to turn
aside from these legitimate purposes
than to adhere to them strictly—
what is useful and meritorious often
being allowed to succumb to what
is frivolous and unworthy. It is true
thatthesojahuses, (which may, in
spite of all vigilance, creep in at
times), should receive discounte
nance and condemnation fiom the
managers of every industrial associ
ation in the country. It is only nec
essary lor our leading Societies to re
solve.antTtry to abolish the evil and
to show our people wliat a genuine
exhibition of industry ft, and what
good it can accomplish. From such
an exhibition, a Premium on a meri
torious production of Industry would
>e regarded as conclusive evidence
of superiority—one that could be re
lied upon as a safe guide to the pur
chaser.
It is the aim of this association to
naaint 'in these principles as far as is
possible, and to make the Annua!
Fairs, strictly what our name implies
—Agricultural and Industrial.
Augusta is the commercial centre
of the richest Agricultural section of
the Cotton States, and. bids fair to
take a like position as a manufactur
ing city.
The Association is cut of debt—
its Grounds and Improvements are
second to none in the South, and are
valued at SBO,OOO. Tiny are sit’.ra
ted within the City. Passengers and
freight are deposited thereon with
out change of cars, from ail parts of
the country.
Exhibitors and visitors from all
sections are cordially invited t>> at
tend our Third Annual Exhibition.
On behalf of the Association.
P. J. BERCKMANS,
President.
Make Farm Life Attractive.
The farm should be made attract
ive to farmers’ sons ; they should not
be overtaxed with continual labor,
and they should have all the educa
tion which the city affords, without
the demoralizing temptations which
are the bane of city life. When a
wealthy merchant retires to the
country, he surrounds his home with
orchards, fruit gardens, and pleasure
grounds. His dwelling is furnished
with every convenience calculated
to add to the comfort of the family,
ihe apartments are spacious, lofty,
and well ventilated;’the occupants
are not cramped for room, nor 'com
pelled to breathe vitiated air, turd
the family are not doomed to a con
tinual round of hard labor.
If a farmer wants to make home
delightful to his children, ho must
provide at. leastsorae of the attrac
tions which allure the merchant from
his counting room, must pro
vide a comfortable residence, as
many good books as hia means will
allow, the best periodicals, agricul
tural and horticultural papers, mu
sical instruments, etc. He must en
courage social gatherings, lectures,
and parlor amusements. The care
of choice animals, the cultivation of
superior crops, the care and man
agement of agricultural machines
and implements, and the keeping oi
a regular set of accounts, will afford
employment to at least one part of
the family during the greater part of
(he year, without the necessity of
very hard labor. Tho members of a
farmer’s family have different, tastes'
and inclinations. some of his chil
dren may fancy cne_ branch of agri
culture, and Homo another, but by a
little tact and judicious management,
all may be gratified, and their love
for rural life fostered and increased.

Augusta Ga., Jane, 1872. j
TTTK deem it proper to appeal directly to or
YY fellow-nu for their substantialaid in
honoring our fallen Confederates, end lieu*fitting
those who were dependent upon them for imiintsc
itivee mid protection. No out, we fool assured, .will
deem it intrusive in us to do so. "he cause com
mends itself <o the patriotic sentiment of U our
citizens. It 1; lines freshly to our minds the sad
but chivulrio story ot our noble sons fighting for
imm’s most, uncivil rights—country, honor, liberty
and home.
We cunnnt, as far as we can see, shad the light
of our work upon the impenetrable gloom of the
grave. Tin pirits of our lost Confederates may
see us or not ; but our instincts make us weep aud
grieve when death steals silently into our house
holds and takes our loved ones away. W honor
them in their graves, and inscribe their virtues
upon Monumems. Our spirits -and senses become
imbued with tho solemnities of death aud our irre
parable loss
Thus we feel when they fade and dU of ordiaarv
causes. Shall we feel the less when, taking no
heed of danger, courting it indeed in full health
and manhood they meet the enemies cf their
countrj, and clic in the effort to save their people
from the oppressor's wrong.
We still rise with the sun, pursue our callings,
enjoy lilt-, and arc blessed by a merciful Provi
dence. They are in the gloom of their graves,
having done for us all they could in thie lower
world. Are they not entitled t* our pttr, our
love, and all the care we can take of their tame ?
Will it not be something to exlybit Ihjs to the
world ? Will wo not respect and honor .ourselves
in doing it 7 It is not necessary to present this
evidence of respect aud gratitude to the eyes and
thoughts of the* young ? What will the wotld say
if we shall f.’.P to (io it t
Some vili not contribute—their motives are
their own: all cannot, hut our prosperous Mer
ehan'.s, Lawyers, Physicians, Planters, and thous
ands of others who are well-to-day in worldly af
fairs, wiil lee) boner when they shall have aided
in this work of low and gratitude. All the fol
lowers of the Arabian Prophet cannot visit his
tomb, but the grecr.-firbaned Pilgrims who can,
are held in higher este.-m when they return from
Mecca. Aud w ill notitliose be honored who shall
aid in this tribute to tlioii who fell in our service
and our cause 1 Mho is there that would not be
pleased to have his name inscribed upon the list
that will bo on perpetual record in the archives of
the Confederate Monumental Association ? Will
it not be emphatically r Roll of Honor 7
All of us will soon sleep without a dream. Who
can bear the thought that no one will care for or
respect his memory when he is gone ?
The fume oft! gallant Confederate dead is in
the care and keeping of all our people. What
would bo thought of him who would say: “Let
them sleep uncared for, ‘unhonored and unsung.’”
State, Southern aud personal would abhor ihc
sentiment.
An mostaih, our bra Ve Confederates have perish
ed ; as our DLflkOeus. toner, gratitude and duty
call upon us to protect their fame and cherish
their memories forever.
We hare received Lot ttw contributions. Our
