that Thomasville affords more trade
to the A. & G. Road, thnu any—or

yet this heavy proscriptive rate of GO
cents per hundred is maintained on

bany Road, being under the control of
the A. & G. company. Thomasville
deserves to be li»eiatcd, and her
commerce set free by a healthy com
petition. This Florida short line

auce will have come, and she will enter
upon her merited prosperity, again.
A careful comparison of distances
from Jacksonville, Fiorina, to all
points North and West, by the vari
ous competing Hues that arc striving
to control the Florida trade; will
clearly demonstrate tbe fact, that
when this connection between Tliom-
asville and Monticello is completed,

much heavier below, than in this
neighborhood, and, still farther
down, there was probably a washing
flood,—this is only a matter of opin
ion, for everybody in this country is
bound by an oath never to tell * iu
anything , bnt still the condi
tions of our proposition are not al
tered; for if the cotton is washed np,
it is ap and a loblolly will spread.
2 hat elaborate paragraph reminds
us to observe that ganleus general
ly, in this section, are looking well,
many of them being exceptionally
fine; from which we wonld naturally
conclude that not a few of oar peo
ple will feel inclined to contribute
liberally toward tbe success of the
Fair, by carrying down specimens of
their horticultural products, for ex-
prod acts,
bibition.
Still wc fear oar friends do not
fully appreciate the importance of
that occasion to them and may
thoughtlessly do their section an in
jury by withholding their contribu
tions. Therefore, we propose to say
a few" practical common sense words
on the subject.
We have heard the opinion ad
vanced that tho Fair Association
has been organized "for the purpose
of making money and that Ihe stock
holders are the only persons who
realize any material benefit from ""
semi-annual exhibitions.
Well, we heartily wish a 'partjbf
Una were true; for if any’
serves wealth, it ir the ma
public spirit prompts him to expend
nis energies, his time and his money,
in endeavoring to build up the ma
terial prosperity of hie country..
Bnt the opinion is erroneous.—
The stockholders have never realis
ed any cash lrom the proceeds of
their exhibition. Snch dividends as
have been declared have been com
muted for the common good and
applied to the establishment, upon
a safe and permanent basis, of an
institution whose immediate and ul
timate object is the benefit of the
whole section, irrespective of state
boundary or county lines.
Of course, they receive the same
benefits that others do, resulting
from the attraction of public atten
tion to the enterprise and thriftiness
of the people. Strangers form their
opinions of the region of country
from the character and quantity of
exhibits seen at the Fairs. If these
opinions be favorable,—os they have
been in the past—, all receive the
benefit of them, the anti-Fair man os
well as the exhibitor and the stock
holder. As individuals, exhibitors
receive moro notice than others, and
it is unquestionably right that they
should, but all shore alike in the
common reputation won for the
country by the exhibitors and, pri
marily, through the stockholders.—
Does it require an argument to
prove a patent fact ? The man from
abroad, wishing to examine tba
country with a view of locution, in
quires, as soon ns he arrives iu
Ihomasville, for Kinch Taylor or
Josh Carroll, or some other particu
lar person,—we mention these
names, because they first happen to
present themselves—, why ? Be
cause they are stockholders? No.
But because their names have be
come prominent, as exhibitors. The
stronger judges the lands iu the
neighborhood of these men by the
record the men have made.
Neighbor, friend, what if yon do
not receive the highest premiums ?
It wonld be unreasonable to expect
to compete successfully with profes
sional gardeners or amateurs who
possess nil the facilities of hot beds
and forcing beds and other improv
ed contrivances for procuring and
producing the earliest, the largest
and the greatest variety of vegeta
bles. No one expects you, or us, to
excel, in floral gardens, watched and
tended, from year’s end to year’s
end, with all the care and time that
wealth or freedom from other en
gagements affords them. Visitors
will be apprised of the difference,
and will form their opinions accord
ingly. Then hesitate not to make
your entries.
Say what you may, the newspa
per men ure the moulders of public
opinion. They will be at your May
Fair, in force, with eyes of lynxes
aud tablets iu band. They will re
turn to their sanctums and, in one
week thereafter, the opinion of Geor
gia will have been informed in re
gard to your section,—good or ill,
as you decree. Those same news
paper men scan closely tho local
page of yotir home papers, as they
do those of all the country papers
in the State. They seldom even
glance at the outside, except to
make a clipping, but they read the
editor’s leader, skip about through
his editorial columns and then dili
gently purusc the local items, men
tally comparing your county and
your towns with others, as they go.
These knights of the quill have read
of the 17th and 18th of Thomas and
have come to the correct conclusion
that yon live in a section of health
and plenty. Wonld you now have
them reverse that opinion? Do you
wish theu to go home and tell their
readers, either in words or by silence,
that Hansell and Triplett and Bry
an and Harris and Notlimah and
all the rest have been “gassing”
about their boasted piney woods
country ? If not, come forward like
men and prevent it You can do it
and if you fail the blame must rest
on you; we have cleared oor skirts.
Don’t set up in extenuation, as
some have sought to do, the pitiful
plea that “had it not been for tbo
Fair, these invidious comparisons
conld not have been drawn.” The
truth is, the rest of the county is de
termined to make for itself a name;
Fair or no Fair, that section is go
ing to climb; and if you prefer to
sit down on the ground aud depend
on the persimmons that happen to
be shaken off, yon must moke up
your minds to take ’em with Ihe sand

were glad to see evidences all along

son why these people and tbe rest,

After a hard pull they land and

Tom gets down on bis knees and
plunges his hand in a confident sort

The Jadge leans over and reaches
Jus hand down into tlie box. Then
he raises up and, looking benignly
ove{ the blister on the end of his

sort of dryness is observable about
those smiles.
There is a slat off the bottom of
