This year tbv.e are eighteen counties al ready. The prizes are: $1,(»j for the first; $750 for the second; $500 for the third, and a registered Jersey bull, worth $100, given by the Macon Telegraph, for the fourth. For the county making the best and largest display of its live stock a prize of $*•00 is offered. To.the county making the best ami larg est display of minerals, $150.

Never were such handsome prizes off ered at an agriculural fair. Special in dividual prizes art offered on all articles, such ns corn, cotton, peas, &c.. and all the departments same as usual. Our people should prepare f#r this great Fair at once, and send some article. Your are almost sure to win a prize of some kind if you prepare a number of articles. The Fair is held under the manage ment of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, which wan organized at Stone Mountain, Ga., in 184*). », d recognized after the war in Macon; Ga., 18*59. The Agricultural Society has accomplished great good to the Slate, an l has held nr.any successful fairs; most of them at Macon, which citj has proven to be the best place in the State for holding fairs. The Socioiy is coinpo.-ed of life mem bers and lesser organizations throughout the State, which elect <h legates in the conventions twice each year, in February and August. At the August meeting the officers are elected. The officers consist of a President, a Vice-President nt large, a Vice-President from each Congression al district, a Secretary, n Treasurer, and an Executive Committee of three from each district, who have in charge the Fair and iis management. The Vice- Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer are ex officio member:', of the Executive Committee.

His case came up for pre liminary trial Wednesday; bat his attor ney,ll. 0. Tuck, waived trial and Carter was pu under bond of $300 to appear at the fall term of Clarke Superior Court. The scene in the court yesterday was both repulsive and pitiable. There was old Carter hobbling on one leg; the oth er having been shot off by his own son, who is now prosecuting ais father for incest with his daughter. There was the wife and a sixteen year old daughter who sympathized with their husband and father. There was the older daugh ter, twenty-six years of age, who is the the victim, whether voluntary or other wise, of her father’s animal lust, refusing to speak to him and anxious for the stern law to reek full vengeance fer the awful crime. She was attended by a miserable specimen of a child, the offspring of her incestuous life. Unable to give bond Carter was lodged in jail to await trial. His crime is expi ated by some on the grounds of igno rance, bi t no man living in this land of enlightenment can claim that he ruined his own :hi!d through ignorance. The only possible explanation of his crime, if it be true, ar.d there seem to be no reas onable grounds forany other supposition is that his moral depravity is such that he is bli'id to &U semblance of virtue. If he be found guilty nothing but the ex treme limit of the law can expiate such a crime.
