Hpodal Premium*. 1872. The following Special Premiums, for the Third Annual Exhibition of the Centra* Uherokec Georgia Agricultural Association, 1872. will be awarded to the fortunate ones •who may excel in producing the finest and best articles, greatest variety, enumer ated in said list. We respectfully ask that every citizen in Bartow and adjoining coun ties, whe feels interested in the develop mont of the resources of this section of coun try, he or she select and offer a special pre mium on some article of home production, from One Dollar up as "high as they may feel able and willing to go. We announce these thus early in order that arrangements may be made in time for their production. A meeting of the Executive Committee will be convened, in a few days, when ar rangements will be made for holding a meeting of the stockholders at an early day, for the purpose of electing new officers for the ensuing year, and making such other alterations and amendments as may be thought necessary and advisable. Let every district and quarter intending to take stock in the next fair, bo represented in the re organization so that they may have an equal voice; and let us, one and all, laying aside all sectional strife and personal preferment, take the advice of our worthy orator, lion. Thomas Hardeman, jr , and go to work, and all work together, in the development of our vast material resources, and in build ing up our own country and enriching our own home mechanics, farmers, merchants, Ac., and no longer continue to exhaust our means and energies to build up and enrich other sections and people who are not of us, to the detriment of our own interests. In no better way can we do this than by offering, not only premiums, but Special Premiums, for the development of these varied interests in mechanics and agricul ture, &c. We will keep this list standing for the purposejjof adding others to it. Who will keep the ball rolling by reporting to us, at once, other special premiums: By Capt. 1). W. K. Peacock. For the largest, most varied, and best as sortment of Canned Fruits, Preserves and Jellies, by one lady, . . Prern. $lO in gold. By Col. Abda Johnson. For the largest crop of cotton raised, l»y a boy under IG years of age, on one acre ot ground Prern. $lO in gold. By Col. J. .T. Howard. For the greatest yield of wheat (not less than forty bushels per acre,) to be grown on one acre of ground, to be measured, cut, threshed and weighed in the presence of three disinterested parties. Prern, S2O in gold. Mr. Francis Fontaine, of this county, en tered his stock, &c., at our late fair, “for no premium.’' He deserves the thanks of all, and he will please accept ours, for this act of disinterested ambition and unselfish ri valry. J. W. Harris, of this place, en tered some thirty odd articles of domestic and rustic housewifery, at our late fair, and carried off' thirteen premiums. Iler rustic basket stand was an ingenious piece of me chanism, enlisting both taste, labor and pa tience, and deserves something more than a mere mention. We hope that all our lady citizens, of both town and country, will as far as they can manifest an equal interest with her in making our annual exhibition* interesting. All that was on exhibition at our late fair, in the ladies’ department, was of very superior quality, displaying a taste for design and execution highly commenda tory and truly gratifying. What was on exhibition, we challange the world to beat. All we ask to make this department perfect is for the interest and effort to become a little more general among the ladies. Col. Tumlin’s fine flour, ground at bis own new mills, on Etowah river below this place, took a premium at our late fair. We can and do add our meed of praise to this, if the sack he presented to us be a sample.— The wagon which brought ours contained two other sacks, consigned respectively to Rev. T. E. Smith and Rev. R. B, Ileaden.— Col. T. has sent the former gentleman two sacks on account of his late double respon sibilities. He assures us his mill is turning out forty pounds of fair flour to the bushel of this year’s crop of wheat. Col. TANARUS., like ourself, hae his faults and weaknesses, but ■ot withstanding this fact, he is. withal, a very liberal-hearted and whole-souled gen tleman, or, at least, he has demonstrated these traits of character in all his dealings and intercourse with ns. Col. Rochester, of Kentucky, sold bead of big thoroughbred cattle to citizens ot Bartow county. His fine bull, Baronar drie, we learn, was bought by Messrs. Howland & Sproull. return thanks to Col.

Local JK>l l lox% At Howard «V KaiiiKaurN -—Calico, Best It rands at 121-2 cents. BThe closing ex rci.sea of the Fair on Friday evening last, were in ten sting and exciting in the extreme. After the horse-racing was over, tile Marshal of the day, Mr. Aaron Collins, announced to the people that the Tournament riding was next in order, which announcement was received with a; plause b> the vast multitude. In due time the Knights made their appearance in the arena, nicely and tastefully* uniformed, ready for the spirited contest which was soon to ensue. After riding around the in' closure of the amphitheatre several tames, the Knights repaired to the place fiom which they were to start, and from thence, each in his turn, went forth, at full speed, severing the heads, and throvxing ihe ring* high in the air, during which the greatest excitement prevailed among the spectators. Each having ridden his three rides, the people were inform ed that the names of the Knights win ning the prizes, would be announced from the stand in the amphitheatre; to which place they at once proceeded When everything was settled down" and order restored, the Knights again appeared within the arena, and halted in front of the stand, where stood Col* Abda Johnson, who was to make known the result of their riding, and he designated Mr. John Vaughan, of Pine Log, winner of the First Prize and Capt. "W. H. Stiles, the Second, and the other Knights an excellent supper, and it is of this supper that we now propose to 6f<ak. Having been invited to report at Bridges Restaurant at 7 o’clock in the evening, we did so, and looking around, came to the conclusion at once, that it was “good to be there.” The supper was partaken of by the Knights, Judges and several outside friends, numbering m all, about thirty, and a more lively jolly crowd never came in contact. — The table was about twenty-five feet long, and laden with innumerable good things the 1 preparation of which, would have done credit to “old man Epicure, or any other man.” Toaat after Toast was offered and roponded to by first one, and then another of those “gay and festive busses,” and they all beluuged, without a single exception, to that jovial family, known and distinguished as the one to which O 9 a certain youth belonged, who gloried in the appellation of “Champagne Oil l'ley.’ The party done full justice to the eatables, and the drinkables were not in the least slighted. We lived at least a week that night, and wished we could go to a louruament Supper every night. We say unhesi tatingly that jt was the most brilliant affair ever witnessed in Cartersville, and immortalized Tom Bridges culina rily, world without end. Mr. R. L. Sellers has the thanks of all present, for the very active part he took in the Tournament, from begin ning to end. May his shadow never grow less. Suppor over, the crowd dispersed, and those who were unable to do so without, were assisted, and “Put in their little beds,” and gently admon ished to “think of their heads in the morning.” Thus ended the most jovial occasion known to the denizens j of Cartersville.

We regard it as evidence incontestable of Carters ville’s unparulelled prosperity, and the men with brawny hands, whose avocations it is to use these tools, the back-bone .and sinew of the country.

We are glad this line has been re-opened, for the people in that section have been depiived of mail facilities ever since the war, and by the way, it is as good a portion of the State as any we wot of, especially in regard to mineral resources. We have been shown several specimens of iron and copper ore, w hich came from near Huntsville. Again we repeat that it is a good section, and inhabited by clever, energst.c and industrious people, and is as clever as they make ’em. Cartersville Fair.

Upon such testimony the repu tation of Ifostjtter's Stomach Bitters as au antidote and cure fr many ailments is based. Dark) a* ihe twenty years that it has been before the world, innumerable prepa rations intended to compete with it, have gone up like rockets, and come down the extinguished stjeks. Meanwhile the prog ress of that, incomparable tonic has been switl and steady— always upward and on ward like the eagle's ft.gilt. Its introduc tion produced a revolutiqct in therapeutics, an 1 it proved to be one of those salutary revolutions thkt. cannot go backwards. To-' day Hostetters Bitters is one of the most popular remedies in Christendom, and com mands a larger sale than any other medicin al preparation, domestic or imported, on this side of the Adlautie. Asa cure for dyspepsia, billious disorders, nervous affec tions, general debility, and as a preventive of epidemic fevers, it takes precedence of every other remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious country dealers who endeavor to foist their local abortions on the public in its stead, how futile their small attempts to cajole the community must necessarily be.
