Tke Lad tvs' Fair,

the many attractions in tho city. It is
so perfectly systematized that the fair
managers cannot help but realize hand
some profits for the First Methodist
Church, The Flowery Bower is a gem
of a little covert in whioh to allure un
wary, susceptible, linngry hearts; and
the Pearl Seekers, (mischievous sirens,)
like pearl divers, dive far down into the
depths of swelling pnmes for the glitter
ing genu. TVre is everything to be
seen and heard and tested and experi
enced—cakes, love, dolls, pretty fuoea,
"wine and women," apples, flirting,
books aad sweethearts. Go and talk and
eat and love and promenade and be
liberal.

The Orest State Fair at Marti.
The Annual Fair of the State Agricul
tural Society commences at Macon on
Monday next. Those who arc attending
our Fair will have to make only a short
trip to attend the one at Macon. It will
be worth seeing. Much liae been done
by the city of Macon to make it a grand
success. Her energetic Mayor, sustained
and encouraged by the liberal citizens
of the city, has spared no expenae neces
sary to make the Fair Grounds the most
beautiful, convenient and well arranged.
We have inspected the grounds and the
entire plan, and do not hesitate to pro*
nounce the same unsurpassed.
Secretary Lewis and his assistant,,
have done what they could in arranging
for the Fair; but the burden —the work
—of preparation has fallen upou the city
of Macon, and right worthily has she
performed her duty.
But the grand success of these splendid
preparations is, in a very lurge degree,
owing to the superior ability of Hon.
Wol A. Huff, the Mayor. A more fit
ting man for this work could not have
been selected—emphatically, the right
man in the right place.
Wo trust the weather will be fiue, and
that everybody will go there. The enter
tainments, outside of the usual things to
bo seen, are grand. Head them in tho
large advertisement now stand lug in

Last night about dark, Mr. Buice of
the Georgia It. It. Bbop, and liobert
Love, had an altercation on Whitehall

Buice was in the act of mounting bis

the horse, which fell £own upon Buice.
They both flourished their weapons and
tried to shoot further at each other, but
were quickly arrested and carried to the
Guard house. We did not learn the real
origin of the difficulty.

Col. Steadman’s bull is the beJ part of
the show on the Fair Grounds. Jf Fair
Associations would offer liberal premiums
for beasts of burden, and less for fancy
animals, they would show hard sense that
would tend to encourage an improvement
in stock, and which would benefit the
farmers, instead of a display that puts
money in the po jketa of that cussed set
known os fkney lotrn stock mon, who are
able to pay for sach animals, fcbich, like
the town loafer, produces nothiug, and
does the community no good. Tne
Colonel’s bull can pull a ton to market,
and return with the purchases made by
he farmer, saving drayage both ways.
That fellow, Hightower, who runs the
heavy business inGriflia, had the temer
ity to bring up to the fair his fancy span
of blacks, “Tig©” and “Bots,” but ar
rived too lute for the show of good
draft horses, uud, of course, to take a pre
mium to which he would have been en
titled.
How arc you, Miss Lcwella Anna

Sparks Lee drove the bau<lsomest
team about the grounds yesterday.
The “Combination” Mare put the beer
on a sorrel gelding yesterday afternoon,
at the Oglethorpe race track, just so easy
as uever was. It is trying to the souls
of sinners to witness such a sham race.
Oliver Jones, for the edification of the
public, allowed “Black Crook” to be
rattled through by that rattling cream
gelding “Bottler,” yesterday afternoon.
The iutentioo was good, and we com
mend Mr. Jones for it; but it is a bad
plan to make such a me.', as honest aud
unsophisticated people are often taken in
by sncli matches.
Hon. Ephraim Tweedy entered “Lady
Lee” for tho premium offered for the
best harness nag, and took the premium
from our friend Bell’s black gelding,
“Nimrod”—one of the handsomest hors
es in the country. Tweedy can’t say
there was any discrimination on account
of politics or previous condition in this
contest, ns “Nimrod” is a stunner, and
if he had not gono plumb up head, Le
could not have taken the stake.
The negro walkist made a half m le in
side of four minutes round the track yes
terday, which was poor walking compar
ed with that done by a darkey of our ac
quaintance in ante-bellum times, who
carried a bushel of ’tatersnnd a pumpkin
fifteen miles, swapped for three pints of
whisky, and made the return trip before
day, briuging the whisky inside his skiu.
The Haadley engine, that runs a half
dozen (/in mills at tho Fair Grounds, is a
good thing. Mark Johnson thinks it will
run as many as tho people can hitch to
it. It </ins with and without feeders, uud
condcusers, aud cottons to none of them.
The Shingle Machine at the Fair
Grounds, is a success. It makes shingles
foster tlmu Lee Smith makes cocktails.
Mr. Ragsdale, at the Agricultural De
partment, has stalks of cotton with 300
to 400 bolli, from the Oxford Dickson’s.
The bolls are as thick as the hair on a
dog’s back, and we compliment him on'
being able to stick them on so thick.
The Dickson cotton lays over Holmes’,
which is no small thing itself.
A. T. Fiuuey lias everlastingly spread
himself at tho Fair Grounds on a dis-
play 0 f fine vehicles. The Kimball Bros,
und McBride & Smith, are after him with
a sharp stick, but we would not be sur
prised if Finney don’t put tho “Irish
Whisky ” on them for the prize.
Mercer’s saloon is the most popular
establishmeut on the Grounds, notwith
standing there are no prizes offered at
that establish went.
B. W. Wrenn shows himself perfectly
competent to the task of “ transporting’
all tho visitors to the Fair. Thcro have
been no delays nor trouble on this line,
aud if there were ten thousand more vis
itors to the Fair, Wrenn could provide
for their quick transit to the grounds.
The last train that came in from the
Fair last night was composed of nine
cars, each car containing nino hundred
passengers—more or less. Wrenn was
the last man on tho last car.
Remauu, of Goodyear A Co., put tho
beer on both ladies and gentlemeu yes
terday. It was drawn from kegs mauu
fuctured iu Atlanta, from wood grown iu
the city. Tho beer was delightful, and
drew a large audience. Miles Turpin
was the orator.
Rosalie,• owned by Master F. H. War
iug, we understand, took the premium
as the l>est brood mare. Mr. F. H.
Waring also received premiums for the
following at the Fair yesterday: Belle,
lH‘«t two year old filly; Gipsy, best pony,
13 J hands high, exhibited under saddle
and bridle.
During tho painful intermission yes
terday—while fivo thousand people were
waiting for something, our friend VoL
Duuuiug showed himself equal to the
emergency, and started McCauley, (col
ored) on the tramp. lie walked the
half-mile in 3-32. Vol. said it was as
good walking as he did in front of his
friend General Sherman.

Tlie Dark Crowded with Visi
tors.
For the first time during the progress
of the Fair, the city was crowded, yes
terday, with strangers. Every train that
arrived was filled, and early iu the day it
was apparent that there would l>e a big
crowd at the Park. The day was bright
and exceedingly pleasant, the streets and
the Park were free from dust; in fact
everything was most propitious, and
everybody seemed disposed to turn out,
to enjoy themselves and see the Fair.
Train after train, crowded with pas
sengers, rolled out to the Fair Ground,
and it was not until late in the afternoon
that the trains began to go out empty.
It is the opiuiou of many that no^day
during the State Fair last year was the
crowd larger than it was yesterday. At
one time every seat in ibe immense am
phitheatre was occupied, while thousands
of people were gathered around the track
wherever a good position could be ob
tained. In all the halls aud buildings
upon the ground were perpetual throngs,
crowding and jamming the passage ways,
all eager to see what was to be seen of
the useful aud the beautiful.
THE CATTLE SHOW
Was not so large as it was last year ; but
in the quality of the stock on exhibition
it was very fine. Our townsman, Col.
Richard Peters, has upon the ground
quite a number of head of cattle from
his stock farm. There are no finer cattle
in the country than his, aud no finer an
imals anywhere than those he lias upon
the Ground. He shows some yearlings,
and some of even a more tender age,
which are particularly fine, being very
lurge and admirably built. Visito: • from
nbroad were surprised to see such cuttle
in Georgia.
Col. Peters also has some of his fine
sheep and goats on exhibition, and they,
too, attracted marked attention.
There were other cattle, and fine ones,
upon the Ground, but we were unable
to ascertain by whom they were exhib
ited.
The number of hogs ou exhibition was
not extremely large, but some of the
specimens are very flue. We observed a
magnificent Berkshire, or two, a splendid
White Chester, some good animals of the
Essex breed, together with others worthy
jf note. There was one pen of mixed
breeds, containing some six or eight hogs
that w’ould average probably four hun
dred pounds each. Wo were unable to
learn who owned them.
That Sams Old 6s
Mrs. Rusk, a widow lady of Cherokee
oounty, rending near Brush Mountain,
baa a goose known to be over thirty-seven
yean old. It was presented to her by
her mother-in-law soon after the mar-
5 of herself with her husband, now
deceased, and has liecn in her possession
ever since. She is becoming gray, like
a gander—her dark ooldfced feathers be
ing nearly w hite. She is healthy and in
good condition, apparently as much so
as any of the flock with which she goes.
She still lays eggs, but for the last few
years they will not hatch.
FLOltAL HALL.
The first story of Floral Hall is allotted
to the carriage men, and they do them
selves infinite credit. Our towusmau,
Mr. A. T. Fiuuey, has the largest display
of vehicles. Among them are several of
his own manufacture, including a buggy
which is regarded as a novelty. This is
a side spring buggy, to which all objec
tions to side springs are obviated by
Finney’s improved yielding Reach, and
his iron Bolster and spring clips—all sol
id. This contrivance relieves the buggy
from all side motion and jolting in pass
ing over rough roads, and prevents the
axles from tilting back. It is pronounc
ed a most excellent arrangement by the
most competent judges on the ground.
Mr. Finney also exhibits quite a number
of vehicles manufactured by the Kimball
Brothers, of Boston.
Mossrs. McBride & Smith, of this city,
make a superb display of vehicles of their
own manufacture.
Mr. A. B. Landis, of Mouqt Joy, Penn
sylvania, exhibits a magnificent carriage
for one or two horses. It is, perhaps, as
handsome a vehicle as any on the ground.
He also exhibits some buggies. Mr. Lan
dis is here iu person. The factory he
represents w as established in 1824.
In tho second story of Floral Hall we
find a most interesting show*. Here we
have a large amount of vegetables, trees,
fruits, shrubbery, evergreens, aud various
other plants for use and ornament —
There are some fiuo displays of vegeta
bles, especially yams.
Frank E. Block makes au admiruble
show of the productions of his candy
manufactory, in this room. He does
himself great credit
Mr. E. Van Goidtsnoven contributes
largely to the interest of the department
No one lias better taste than he, and iu
this instance, ho has used it to a good
advautogo.
la this room we also find bread, bis
cuit, cake, preserves and canned fruits,
and other home productions, which are
highly creditable.
Last, but by no means least, or least
entertaining, wc have the
SEW’INO MACHINE
men in this room. They are workers.
They evidently are the liveliest set of
people on the ground, never wearying
of answering questions or operating their
machines.
Mr. Miller makes an excellent showing
w ith the Howe. He has quite a number
of machines out there, which are quite
as handsome as any to bo seen; besides
—well, we were going to compliment the
ladies who operate them, but we believe
wo won’t They don’t need it Their
w’ork speaks for them, and they speak
for the machine; so we think, on the
whole, the Howe can get along and hold
its own.
The Singer, the Wheeler A Wilson,
and the Grover A Baker also make good
shows.

the most interesting and best sustained
departments of the Fair.
FINE ALTS HALL
Present* :w magnificent an appear
ance as it diil at the State Fair last year.
Both the first aud second floors swarmed
with visitors and exhibitors, with their
multitude of wares. The first attraction
is the splendid
DISPLAY OF JEWELRY, ETC ,
By Messrs. Sharp A Floyd, of this city.
Their collection of jewels, gems, dia
monds, watches, silverware, uud plated-
ware is euormous.
CHARLES DOHNEFIELD
Had on exhibition, and for raflle, a hand
some set of parlor and chamber furni
ture, worth probably a $1,000 or 81,200.
AN ELEGANT COLLECTION
Of medicines, perfumery, etc., was on
exhibition by Pemberton, Taylor A Co.,
of this citv, whose popularity and repu
tation as druggists are rapidly growing
into universal repute.
THE SHOW’ CASE
Of Lowe, Douglass A Dallass was shining
with fringes, laces, gloves, and ladies’
furnishing goods of every description.
Borne laces were valued at $40 per yard.
LIGHTNING BODS.
Mr. A. C. Ladd, so long knowu as the
Lightning man (in two senses of the
word)) was there electrifying all with his
display of lightning sirens.
A. II. C. AND PHILOSOPHY
Were in juxtaposition, rejoicing iu a re
union, as shown by the series :>f books
published by the University Publishing
Company. They occupied seats on the
school desks sold by the same Company,
W. A. Slaymaker, Agent. We saw some
gents remark the show cose of
J. C. HOLBROOK,
filled with hats and furs of the latest
fashions and most approved designs.
ELEGANT SHOES,
manufactured by our enterprising fellow
townsman, Charles C. Hughes, found
many admirers, who looked for comfort
a d elegance for their “pretty little feet. ”
SUSPENDED IN MID AIR,
and overarching the hall, were to be seen
all the modern patterns and improve
ments of carpets, curtains, shades, rugs,
tapestry, Ac., placarded at every side
with the names of our prosperous city
dealers, Chamberlin, Boynton A Co.
Messrs. B. B. Kendrick A Bon had ou
ixhibition, in the same department, quite
a variety, for some of which they claim
to be the sole agents.
TUB CHURCH DESIGNS,
including the Roman Catholic, First
Methodist (Wesley Chapel) and Second
Methodist, (Trinity) are triumphs in ar
chitectural drawing and ingenious con
ception. They are the designs of Mr.
W. H. Parkins, Architect. A design for
the house of Gen. A. H. Colquitt, by the
same artist, forshodows the future wealth,
beauty and prosperity of our suburban
village, Kirkwood.
THE SPECIMENS OF PENMANSHIP
from the Business Colleges of the city
must have been truly wonderful to those
unacquainted with the perfection which
this art has recently attained. A pen
portrait (not in words, but iu scenic imi
tation) of Gen. Lee, was one of the most
admirable, from the Business University
of Mr. B. F. Moore. Conspicuous amc ng
the specimens from Eastman’s College,
was the truly beautiful display of visit
ing cards.
J. LYNCH, TAYLOR,
had a mammoth cose of his “Star Shirts,”
which are becoming so popular.
A HANDSOME DESIGN
for a new’, magnificent building, to be
styled tho Republic Block, and to be
erected on Pryor street, opposite the H.
I. Kimball House, was on exhibition by
Wm. Goodnow, Agent of the Republic
Life Insurance Company. The building,
only three stories high, is to be of vast
dimensions, stately and substantial in
appearance, and promises to be one of
the most elegant in the citj.
RARE QUILTS.
Among the many quilts, coverlets, Ac.
we noticed one of curious design and te
dious workmanship, containing 8,403
pieces. Another, made by a child four
years old, was a rare execution for two
tender, dimpled hands of so youthful an
amateur in the fine arts.
TWO KNITTINO MACHINES,
introduced by Mrs. L. J. Tabor, is a pro
digy among inventions. It knits socks,
shawls, plaids, mats, Ac. An ordinary
hand can make twelve pairs of socks in
one day, and with an expert hand it will
manufacture twenty-four.
ARTISTS IN HAIR.
The many uses and elegances to which
hair has been applied, is truly wonderful,
Mrs. A. C. Ladd had on exhibition a fain
ily memento, (or (h)air loom) consisting
of the hair of the various members of
the family, wrought into flowers and im
itations of fruit, which, for conception
and execution, is an honor to the talents
of Mrs. Ladd.
Mrs. Agnes Turner, lately returnod
from tho North, had an extensive and
exquisite array of hair jewelry aud all
kiuds of ornamental hair work. She
will establish her business very soon in
this citv. The most exquisite piece of
art, ana iudeed the most elaborate arti
cle of workmanship in the hall, was tho
IMITATION OF AN OIL FAINTING,
in needle work, by Mrs. A. C. Ladd. It
represents the parting scene of Ruth find
her mother, Naomi. It is w rought with
silk, worsted and chenille, and
combining one hundred ndthirty different
shades and colors! Tho conception, a
portion of which is original with Mrs.
Ladd, and the execution ure perfect, rep
resenting not only tho peculiar scenery
aud costume, but the perfect attitude of
the parties, giving the most accurate out
liues of the very muscles of the Eastern
donkey, but delineating faithfully the
expression, and therebv the very emo
tions of parent and child on this afiectiog
occasion of tho mother’s saorifioe and the
daughter’s • ingenuous love for him to
hum she said, “wherever thou gocst,
will I also; your home shall be my home,
your God my God,” Ac. Mrs. Ladd had
a number of other specimens, including
varieties of needle work, embroidery ana
crocheting.
THE PICTURE AND MUSIC GALLERY
was the soene of unceasing wonder and
admiration from all of the vast concourse
that were on the grounds yesterday. Tho
most elaborate piece of art was
A FINISHED PIECE OF MOSAIC,
comprising 7,000 pieces of thirteen dif
ferent kinds of Georgia wood, inlaid ia
diamond, triangle, rectangle, ellipse and
other geometrical figures. It is all in-
a thousand' variety of shells, collected
from the coasts of Georgia and Florida,
wrought into Mosaic, and represents a
showy grotto overarched with festoons of
shells and supported by stalagmites of
the same. It is a curiosity.

PHOTOGRAPHS,
comprising all the modern improvements
of the art, were ou exhibition by Messrs.
Smith A Motes, and Mr. O. R. Lane, of
this city. It was the handsomest collec
tion ever displayed iu Georgia. There
were some specimens of
PORTRAITS AND WOOD CARVING
By Mr. J. Muier. Pictures of unexcep
tionable finish and faithful likenesses of
Howell and T. R. R. Cobb, Gen. G. T.
Anderson and Dr. J. M. Johnson were
much admired. The wood carvings w’ere
representations of some historical event.
THE WAX WORKS
Of flowers aud fruits were beautiful, as
all such works must be. A collection of
flowers, by Miss Ella T. Foreacre, seven
years of age, was a monument of youth
ful genius and child-art.
Borne nice
RUSTIC PICTURE FRAMES
Were entered by Mrs. F. A. Smith, of
Hogansville.
LARGE OIL PAINTINGS,
Borne 6x3 feet, by Mr. E. H. Mibs, were
elegant representations of familiar Geor
gia and Florida scenery. “Toocoa,”
duplicated, is oue of the best.
CRAYON SKETCHES
Of Napoleon I. and Mohammed, by O.
L. Bruuwuiler, were meritorious designs.
CROCHET W’ORK.
A handsome crochet collar, exhibited
by Mrs. C. D’Alvigay, elicited the moit
unbounded applause. It is a wonderful
piece of work, beiug wrought with Jfo,
200 cotton thread into numerous designs
of roses, rose-buds and rose-leaves, per
fect in all their parts.
THE GRAND PIANOS,
Of Mr. Edward Faxon, lent a glorious ac
companiment to tho day’s revelry, and
pronounced, at sundown, a sweet doxol-
ogy to the dispersing multitude.
TnE RACES
were improvised for the occasion, and if
they were satisfactory to the large audi
ence, we shall content ourselves with the
following resume:
The first race was a two mile dash be
tween W. C. Morrison’s “Rattler” and O.
H. Jones A Co.’s “Black Crook.” Rattler
won in 6:15.
The second was a three mile In at, be
tween Tollis’ mare, “Combination,” and
Wootten & Taylor’s chesnut “Dick.
Combination won in 9:12.
8et-to on Broatl street.
About 5 o’clock yesterday eveuiug two
“boys iu blue” had a regular set-to fist
fight. One was knocked down, and con
siderably beat up. The police did not
arrive in time to arrest either.
Killed by the Car*.
An old gentlemaD, named Wootten,
who lived near the Rolling Mill, was run
over and crushed to death by the return
ing train from the Fair Grounds, yester
day afternoon. Observing the train ap
proaching him, he stepped over, as he
thought, to the cleared track, but, by
miscalculation, he encountered the danger
he sought to escape. Failing eyesight
probably prevented him from perceiving
the approaching engine.
