County Fairs.

At thq County Fair should be gathered not only the agricultural and mechanical productions, but an exhibit of the mineral resources. The chief object of the Fair is to exhibit and advertise the resources of the county in which it is held, and a generous spirit of emulation should possess all, in gathering these up, and placing them before the public to the best advantage. All should strive to make the best show possible of the productions of the county, and the general management should bring to the front, in the amplest manner possible, the mineral resources, and the special advantages of their counties for this, or that enterprise. It is by this wide-awake course that capital and new enterprises are-secured to assist in building up and developing the .country. —lndiana Farmer.
