DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER S, 1874, From the Atlanta Constitution.) uL The Georg!* AUte Fair. V The preparations are far advanoed, and || ia the opinion of all who are couversaut |«lth the details that they will be almost &ffufect and complete. Ma^.or Spencer ^ god the fair couumitte have been inde fatigable in their endeavors to satisfy the demands ot the people for a fair that shall be better than the State has ever known, and we beleve their success is assured. So far as tue grounds are con cerned tney have, at Last, left uothi* g to bed sired* 1 ho track has boon nwp ov- ed, toe tj;i idmgs repaired, beautitttd and placed with an eye to the general effect, the parade grounds leveled, aud the com manding ten acts cou.tr ei into bWcep- iug rfint h iruionious Hue.** ol green that r»lieve ami heig .-ton the appealanoe ».t the whole. The amp'e space has, n\ rhort. tieen transfomnd into a chiruuug and delightful park. While the landscape gardener and ur ohiteot are completing the grounds and buildings, many of the incidemul but equally necessary arrangements are pro- S leaning. One leading idea has Leon to ring the vast concourse of people to At lanta at the least possible expense—to put the advantages of the fair within the reach of the poor citizens, aud thus increase its results to the utmost limits. To this end bargains have been struck with all the converging lines of railroads for the trans portation of the whole world to the fair at half rates, and their return to their homes wiser and better citizens, on the earne lib eral tanus. This applies to the connect ing lines as well, so that the fair seekers from aa far north as Virginia, as fur west an LoUtarille and Cincinnati, and as far Hoatfc iBthe ocean aud the gulf, can come wiilmuti much expense. Stock and all ar ticles for exhibition will also be oarried at half raSi Mayor Spencer has gone still further in tha economical direction. In securing tents for the use of the fifty military and fira ooapDaniea that are expected, he bar gained for an additional supply, which will IM developed to the accommodation > who prefer camp life during the _ik. Delegations or families who | dwell in tents can secure them by Teasonable notioe of their wishes, i wny a man can bring his whole / with him to the fair, followed by a unle wagon loaded with supplies and i«es, and live on the grounds in his ouse. Its walls will be a little thin, prill protect him from intrusion and r for a temporary castle for all that. ' Satisfactory provisions have also de for the representatives of the prate, who «re expected in force, and will be oordially welcomed. Their headquar ters will be ample in size, and furnished With the conveniences that the pruf< ssion •peoiaily demands, besides those that all humanity find agreeable. We hope to meet, during the fair week, our brethren from ell pans of the laud. We know that they will not regret a week’s stay amid the people and products of Georgia, aud no efforts will be spared to make their visit pleasant. One entire building will be set apart for their accommodation, sit uated midway between floral hall ami the merchant’s bazaar. Aw Vwfartunnte Void Discoverer. The San Francisco Alta-Californian, recites the eventful history of the Califor nia pioneer, James W. Marshal, to whom belongs the honor of having been the iirat to discover gold in that State, and who is now living there a poor man.
