Beteb than Ever—A Beautiful Expo sition of Home Peod dctions— Good Attendance from Houston and all oub Neighbor Counties. Our fair wa6 all the talk last week, and those who did not visit it missed a treat. The weather was clear and rath er wum, and the streets just a lttle dusty, but it was pleasant enough in tbe shade. .The entry books' were opened Mon day, and all that day and Tuesday Mr. Jaekson and several assistants were kept busy at work.''' It soon became evident that the ladies were determined to take the lead this year, and the result was that their departmeuts"more than dou bled any previous displays therein, and the exhibits were of far better quality. The grounds presented a very pretty appearance, the neat buildings and coops and cattle penB having been whitewashed and otherwise greatly im proved. Tbe band pav.’hon Lad been moved around in front of the grand stand, and the sweet music of the Perry Cornet'Band, .led by Prof. Guttenbei*- .ger, floated through tbe grove and out into the town. Then there was that other chorus of music peculiar to fairs —the lowing of cattle, the neighing of horses, the cackling of fowls, etc., etc., in whioli there is a charm to all who can truly love the farm, and its thou sand and one winning features. agriculture. There was a profuse exhibition of cot ton, bales of forage, sacks of grain,— including wheat, oats, peas, corn, lice, etc. Also potatces, sngar cane, and all ' the products of a well ordered farm. THE GARDEN AND ORCHARD received more than usual attention this year, and was quite full and merito rious. Here was marshaled the finest of apples, pomegranates, pumpkins, kershaws, watermelons, and all the garden vegetables one could think of, or read about in a catalogue. Here were egg plants as large as your head, whether you class yourself as “little head, little wit,” or “big head, not a bit.” Mr. S, H. Rumpb, of Willow Lake Nursery, had a beautiful display of fruits for tins season.—t imnoli u-e from her-garden. There were several other fine'displ ivs of vegetables. THE POULTY SH OW at our county fairs hasahvays been fine. It kept pace at this one, and there were several hundred fine fowls on exhibi tion.

Among the many fine cattle on exhi bition Was a superb three year old bull and six calves of the Brahmin stock, which cannotbe beat in Georgia. They, were shown by Mr. W. F. McGehet, of this county, who raised them. THE LADIES HJLL. In the aoademv was presented a scene of beauty that we have never seen sur passed, indeed, never equalled. The walls were lined with pictures, and the large room filled with articles of ladies’ feandi work and home industry. NEEDLEWORK, ETC. occupied two long counters in the cen ire of the hall and racks above ibem. The articles were of the finest workman ship and numbered hundreds. We will specially mention the dis plays made by Mrs. G, H. White and Mrs. W. H. Norwood; which deserves the highest praise for taste, skill and indnst! y, .Miss Clara Bright exhibited iLe most beautiful calico dress we ever saw, and Miss Pauline Mann a lotof;eal thread incewcik, that was pronounced by competent judges eqnrl to the im ported. Miss Liza Wbitehmsl took the premium on a beautiful lace collar. Mr. G. G. Potter mide a fine display of Hon. ton Factory manufactures. HOME —TDOSTRY, Wa3 the finest display ever seen in Houston County. It occupied a long counter and three steps of shelving ex tending the whole length of the hall. It more than doubled last year’s fair, and was most attractive end beauti.al. Onr space gives out here, and we preserve further comments until next week, when we will try to do the sub ject justice.
