JJAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1874. Tbe Fair Already a tftnccees. Mr. Johnson, the Secretary, informs as | officially that there is already positive as- iurance of enough entries to make the ■how of our Fair next week equal, at any jbmje, if not superior to that of Maoon last Tho stock and swine department will be Hppeoiatly line, there being over fifty & blooded aud racing horses on the grounds y Already. The poultry show will be line beyond compare ; the Mayor had to or der yesterday several hundred new coops. As to piokleH, jellies, aud other specimens of hotiKowivery, he thinks such a lot will never have boon gathered together before nor since. Mr. Johnson’s only fear is (hat such will be tbe rush of goods and animals, that the managers will find themselves run over and unable to properly baodle the mass. This fear, though, he is doing all that can bo done to reuder groundless. Iu regard to the crowd, that will bo all that Atlanta can possibly accommodate. With better hotel arrangements than any ^Georgia city, she will find herself taxed |o the utmost, nnd wero it not that her proverbial hospitality will tend to throw open every private house in her limits,she Would be badly outdone. But let every man, woman aud child ia Georgia, who can get off, come to the Fair, and wo promise them at least better MOomuiodations than they had during tho war. The show will be one that will make every Goorgiau proud of his State. [Atlanta Herald. The Owl. he most wonderful thing about an owl, l Josh Billiugs, is the solium impor- j of tho whole kritter, as he sits on ercli, looking over the world he seems to own. Next to a newly elected Justice of the Peace, seated on the benett, with a poor cuss befoio him charged with stealing a loaf uv bread, the owl has more rare and unfathomable wisdom in his face than enny thing ancient or modern. I have looked at them half an hour atiddy, until I wuz ashamed uv my itnpu- dense, to see if they winkt, and I never ■oe them do it. pwould thank some one to toll me if an I ever duz wink, and if he duz, how of- is would be a good subjekt for some ding societ}’ in enny of our colleges, wera to this phenomena, post paid, etfully solicited. 1 kilds his nest in sum vakaot ov a tree, and lays how wenny eggs I han't toll, but Bumwhore less than a nundrod I am sure. Thia stands to rcuzon, and reazon sol- dotu lieN. Owls are not luvly to eat ; no matter how you fry them, they rosemblo in flavor the meat of a yeller dog, if enny know how that tastes. I don’t. x I have shot owls ; it’s a good deal like shooting into a feather pillow ; they are fall feathered from their toe naleH clean up to the base of their bills, and when the feathers are pikt off from them, they shrink as bad as sum other things I know ov with tho cotton all taken out. Owls are plenty, but I don’t know* nz this iz enny thing in their favor. MILLINERY.
