CITY INTELLIGENCE.
The Guards’ Fair.
There was a meeting of the ladies’ solic
iting committee for the Columbus Guards’
fair held at the library yesterday morning,
which was very well attended. There
were, however, several sections of the
city not reprt sented, and it is not known
that any one has solicited contributions
from those sections. To those friends of
the company who have not been person
ally approached, the Guards desire the
Enquirer-Sun to say that they will ap
preciate very highly the aid which may
be sent in voluntarily. The time has been
very short, and as the fair opens on the
16th, but few cays remain.
The time was made short purposely, so
as- to require as little sacrifice from friends
as possible. Unless the people come fo--
-ward the receipts will fall far below what
is actually necessary to put the Guards on
a living basis. This is the only company
now left in Columbus, and surely Colum
bus will support this one.
The committee of ladies earnestly re
quest that all further progress be reported
at the library tomorrow (Thursday) morn
ing at 9 o’clock.
Ail lodies who are willing to aid them
in any capacity are requested to meet at
the same time and place.
