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. CONFEDERATE MONUMENT. — m TO TEE PEOPLE OF -GEORGIA AND TIIE SOUTH Of/ICK OF TdK (JOSf SOKRAT* MoRITCBrfAI) AhjOCIaT.O'V OF Own'll*, > 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.
