what wil- ur. et tiu* eye of a visitor to

ing. Should, i attempt ,to toll the
story I .tv mhi L In amleil by those
not tort,time" enough to visit them as
a" fake and still the half would not
be-told,
$ Can you imagine the beauty of a
half million pencil trees, laden with
their precious hardens of fruit? Have
yon any conception of the grandner
of a hundred aeres of vineyard with
ten thousand pounds of luscious
grapes per acre of every color of the
rainbow? (.’an yo,u imagine liow a
p!urn tree two years old would look
with a thousand plums one inch in
diameter up"ii il? Would you be
lieve that a peach tree planted in
March 1.89ft would have a dozen large
ripe juicy peaches on it now? Do
you know that where in January ol
this year,wire-grass and die mammoth
pint! growing, untouched since nature
planted them there a hall thousand
centuries ago, to-day melons, eante-
lopes, peas, potatoes, cabbages, onions
encumbers, sipiashcs, beans, egg
plants, etc., are being harvested, and
corn, cotton,'sugar can", rice, etc,, are
growing and will make a bounteous
harvest this year? If not and you
are not duly satisfied willi what is
exhibited at the fair grounds this
morning, take a drive to one ol the
farms and sec with your own eyes
the truthfulness of this statement.
