The Fair.—List of Premiums Awarded, &c , &c.

The third annual Fair of the Jasper County Agricultural & Mechanical Association, held in this, town last week, was a gratifying success. The weather though quite 5 warm was otherwise pleasant, so that people could come from their homes many miles distant without fear of disagreeable storms, and the result was a largo attendance, which on the third and fourth days was estimated at 2,000 persons. The live stock exhibition was larger and better than at previous Fairs, while field, orchard and garden products exceeded the expectations of all who consider tho dry and unfavorable season.— Manufactured articles, including farm implements, harness, fine sewing, knitting, embroidery, prepared fruits, jelly, bread, cake, honey, etc., etc., made a fine display and would compare favorably with like articles anywhere. Pecuniarily the Fair was also a success. The entries of live stock and other articles for premiums was 314, besides numerous others brought on the ground for exhibition only. The premiums awarded amounted to nearly SOSO, which will all be paid in cash. The receipts of the Fair amounted to about $1,350. Below is the list of premiums awarded, orders for which will be issued by the secretary of the Association, Col.
