Two women, yesterday, walked to gether up Whitehall street so drunk they could with difficulty keep tho siduwalk. About midway between Alabama and Hunter streets they began to fight eaoh other. They were arrested and carried to the guard house. Next Monday. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column, that the fast stock from Eentuaky will remain over till Monday, to contend for tho citiien s puree of 8500. This is a purse worth the attention of the owners of stock, and wo hope thcro will be a big race. TSu> Ku-Klux Amato. About a dozen men in Jackson county were lately arrested, charged with Ku- Kluxism, and brought here. The Grand Jury of the United States Court ignored the charges, and they bnve gone home. The J1117 found true bills against the following named persons, residing in Gwinnett county: Bonaparte Allen, Asa McMillan, Mathew Brown, Willis Brown, Melvin Kennedy, and Allen J.

Tke Lad tvs' Fair, Which some city cotemporary suggests is but aUollic'sm for Fair Ladiea, is one of 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. Laporte-, Couvoirseur and Stewart Alex ander are the beet kid gloves made,— Lowe Douglass A Dallas', 42 Whitehall Street ' oo*R ti 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 The Bum. Templeton'* Troupe Acted last night to an overwhelming au dience, the play of Heir at Law, with unbounded success. Templeton’s song was greeted with rounds of applause. To-night will be rendered Bulwer’s Lady of Lyons, one of the most affecting come dies in the English language, affording a touching lesson of love and pride. To-night, the “Lady of Lyons,” with three “Melnottes,” Mr. Fred. Wild man, as Claude the Peasant; Mr. Bam. Hub bard, as Claude the Pounce, and John Templeton, as Claude the Boldier. Tho entire company brought into requisition. Last night about dark, Mr. Buice of the Georgia It. It. Bbop, and liobert Love, had an altercation on Whitehall street, in front of the New York store. Buice was in the act of mounting bis horse, when Love fired at him and killed 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. Old John Robinson** Circus. This old favorito show will be iu the city on Monday, tho Gtli of November. AU the lovers of fun will be looking out for it. Hon. W, E. Bimmons, of Lawrcnco- ville, and Hon.T. M. Norwood, of Bavun- uoh, are at the Kimball House. A great number of drunk men were on tho street lust uigbt, some of them were jugged. I.

Sharp & Floyd havo no elegant dis play of jewelry in Floral Hall, HU<<h as U attract the attention from nature’s jewe’i to » lose of art. 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 Jane Sophs? 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.

It is bnilt of Tlio Fair a Grand. Supconn. 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.

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. THE CRAYON SKETCHES AND OIL PAINTINGS by the pupils of Miss E. Stercbi, is quite j au interesting collection of portraits and scenery. “Moonshine,” apparently Thi Pacific Insurance Company and Thj:'Chicago iW-'Tbe following 4lw*tch wm received by L. B.

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. Programme for To-day—Hon. Thoma* Hardeman to Speak.
