The meeting of stockholders of this
Road was held on Wednesday last, in
Doepree's Hall. Thera was not a very
large attendance, bat the gentlemen
present constitutes «t large portion of our
most energetic and business citizens.
The meeting was called to order by
electing Mr. Vo. H. Mitchell as Chair
man, and Mr. Crawford requested to
act as Secretary.
The roll was then called • by the
Secretary, and each gentleman on an
swering to his name, reported the num
ber of shares he represented.
It was then moved and carried that a
Committee on Proxy be appointed.
The Chair appointed Mr. F. B. Lncns
and Dr. R. M. Smith.
The Committee, after consultation,
stated that there were only ten shares
represented by proxy, and made a favor
able report.
On motion, their report was adopted.
Mr. Howell Cobb suggested that the
proceedings of the last regular and the
following called meeting be read, which
being carried, ware then read and con
firmed.
The Chair then announced that it was
ready to receive any report that might
be offered.
Reports were read from the van
ous officers of the road, including that
of Captain J. Calder Turner, CLief lingi-
TSJ- TT. W _ necr. All of the reports were of the
most fluttering character, and showed
everything to be in fine condition. We
refrain from entering into the minutiae
of the reports, as they were turned over
to the appropriate Committee, with in
structions to publish it they thought
necessary, and we have not as yet receiv
ed them. We hope they will decide to
order their publication yet, and we will
give them, with great pleasure, gratuit
ous publication in the Northeast Geor
gian, as it is a subject in which all of
our citizens are interested.
The Chair then announced that ns
there was no further business before the
meeting they would proceed with the
election of seventeen Directors, to serve
during the following term.
The ballot was taken, and result
cd in the election of the following gen

JonN A. Crawford, Esq. — We
are glad to learn that this gentleman is
a candidate for Secretary of State
When we say we arc glad we mean what
we say. We want just such a man in
the office, strictly reliable, firm and un
flinching in his duty. He is as well, if
not better, qualified for the office than
any one we know. He is strictly a gen
tlcman, with a mind highly cultivated
and thorough business habits. Mr.
Crawford wus formerly a member of the
Senate from the 27th Senatorial District,
under the administration of that pure
patriot. Governor Charles J. Jenkins.
When iu the Senate lie did his duty fear
lessly. We believe, if licit elceted to
Secretaryship the State will find him an
officer “indeed iu whom there is no
guile.”
England & Okr.—These gentle-
■»ca have a handsome assortment of cal
icoes. If the ladies will call in and give
them nn examination, we think they will
agree with us. They will find among
thiun all shades and colors, and any one I the University. The first of the course
Lucy Cobb Institute.—The trus
tees and teachers of this institution
seem determined to render it more and
more attractive and effective.
We hear that they have the promise of
a series of lectures from the Professors ol
watting dresses of that description will
not be disappointed.
Valuable Property for Sale.

Road Working.—We noticed sev
eral hands yesterday working on the
road leading from the bridge to the de
pot. Our energetic Mayor was superin
tending the work, and having it done
well, at lie has everything else that lie
takes in hand. It may well he said of
him, u that whatsoever his hands find to

Steel, Jr, He is, apparently, perfectly
decile, and was attached to a buggy,
which he appeared not in the least to
regard* Hfc is the property of Mr. Hill,
we believe of Morgan county.
Wagons.—As will be seen from
««u report of the Fair, Messrs. Summey
A Newton have taken a premium for a
; two-borse wagon. We called at their
store and examined their wagons. They
are certainly equal, if not superior, to
[ anything of the kind we have ever seen,

“ Someting New Under
the Sun.”—We were pleased to see
arrive in our city this week Mr. S. A,
Pughsley. who contemplates opening
at nn early day, in Athens, a photo-
granh gallery. He is now making ar
rangements for the inauguration of his
enterprise, and the prospects are that
he will be ready for the reception of
subjects at an early day. He will
work at marvelously low prices, and
we want to see him receive the liberal
patronage from our citizens he bo
richly deserves. He purposes securing
the services of au artist of many years
experience from the city of Savannah,
and will take both the photograph and
feneotypea picture. We were very
much pleased with the appearance of
Mr. Pughsley, who has the appearance
of a gentleman of refinement and cul
ture. Mr. E. J. Edenfield is proprie
tor, and S. A. Pughesley, Jr., assist
ant
Fine Hat.—We were pre
sented the other day by our old friend,
Mr. England, of the house of England
& <Jrr, with a very fine bat, for which
we return him our thanks. Mr. En
gland is one among our cleverest mer
chants. He is a liberal trader and has
the best of drygoods to trade on. He
will always give the highest market
price for cotton, and sells his goods at
the lowest market prices. When gave
us this hat it was not the last in the
store by a good deal. He has them of
any variety and style, and can suit
from the steady going old gentleman,
to the fastest and^yest young man.
Don’t take our word, but go to the
store for anything plain or fqncy and
you will find it.

There was a luge attendance out, on
Monday evening last, to listen to the ad
dress to be delivered by Colonel H. M.
Bell, the regular Democratic nominee fer
Congress from the Ninth District.
At the appointed hour the speaker
appeared, and was greeted, upon his en
trance into the room, with an outburst
of applause.
He was introduced by Dr. J. D. Carl
ton, when the orator began, in a very
clear and distinct tone, and forcible
manner, to lay the questions now agita
ting the public mind before his hearers.
The speaker thought the existing Pres
idential canvas of much more importance
than any previous one in the history of
this Republic. That the election was a
matter of vast importance to the entire
South, especially, and he hoped that her
people would reflect upon its magnitude
and do their duty.
In General Grant's letter of acceptance
to the Philadelphia Convention, what
did be promise 1 He said that, if he
was re-elected, be would carry out the
same programme that he had enacted in
the past. What was his past record ?
Power was usurped, public liberty vio
lated, and, iu a time of peace, after the
South had lain down her arms and sur
rendered, he took upon himself the pow
er of suspendiugthe writ of hdbeat corput,
that great bulwark of American liberty.
Again, there was a distinct violation
of the Constitution that he practiced—
the prohibition of trial by jury. After
the surrender of the Confederate forces,
wliat was his conduct ? He filled the
whole South with his soldiers, carpet
baggers and hirelings, who practiced
upon her people such indignities and
barbarities ns was only known and prac
ticed in* the Dork Ages. Through the
agency oi a dram-licud court martial our
best citizens were arrested on the most
heinous charges, without any foundation,
the writ of haleateorput suspended, so as
to prevent their trial by an impartial
jury, when they were subjected to the
dungeon, the sweat-box, and every other
barbdrity aud indignity which the min
ions of Grant could devise.
The characteristics of the American
citizen is oliedience to the laws of Gov
ernment, but the slaves of power deman
ded more than obedience. The ba> lot-
box, that acknowledged right of free
.American citizens, were taken from them
and placed beneath the heel of despot
ism. They found too much patriotism
in onr State Legislature, so Grant sent
General Meade, as chief of a military
commission, with power and instruction
to cast frem that body every man who
was found true to his country. So, after
a sitting of twenty-one days, their object
was accomplished. Our best men were
arraigned and their election set aside.
Our State was placed under the control
of Bullock and hia ring, who were fraud
ulently forced upon us, and sustained by
bayonets in their outrages and robberies
upon the people of Georgia.
Such is the work of Grant and his
Congressional plunderers, and a repeti
tion ot which we mny look for if he is
re-clcctcd, for he promises that his future
course shull be governed by his past. '
What is there in General Grant's ad
ministration to commend ? Eyery one
knows that he kartared off the offices of
the Government as he would an article
of merchandise. Did he not, in express
violation of the Constitution, accept the
gilt of a cottage at Long Branch ! Has
he not bartered away Cabinet appoint
ments ? Did he not appoint Stewart as
Secretary of Treasury in violation of
law ? And did he not fill the public
offices with bis relations} Grant never
bad but one idea of hi* own in his life,
and that was that the North had three
men to the South's one, and that, in the
course ot time, the latter country roust
either be exterminated, or reduced to n
State of inability to cany on the war for
want of soldiers. He relused to ex
change prisoners on that account, which
was a piece of barbarity never before
known in civilized warfare.
There is nothing to commend Grant.
His claim for re-election is that he has
violated the law, and overthrown and
trampled under the iron heel of despot
ism all honest legislation. He could not.
see how asj honest man could stand
Grant
Colonel Bell then proceeded to draw a
contrast between the character of the
movement that nominated Mr. Greeley
and Grant’s past administration. He
was in favor of Mr. Greeley, and would
do all in his power to secure his elec
tion. He agreed with that gentleman on
a great many subjects.
Mr. Greeley advocated retorm of the
Government Who does not agree with
him f
Mr. Greeley believes in universal am
nesty. Does net the whole South cry
aloud tor that boon!
Mr. Greeley does not believe in the do
nation of public money to railroad com
panies. How much have our Treasury
suffered from this!
Mr. Greeley believes in rescuing the
Constitution from the grasp oi the men
who have changed it to suit their politi
cal ends. Who is there present who does
not pant to see that day !
Mr. Greeley believes in reconciliation.
He was in favor of that, too. We had
decided the contest by the power of
arms, and the decision is that the North
and South shall live under one Govern
ment.
Mr. Greeley's past record has nothing
to do with the present canvas.
The Southern people cheerftrlty accep
ted and supported Seymour when nomi
nated, who sent more Union soldiers to
the field than any Governor in the Un
ion, to subjugate the South.
When the news of General Lee’s sur
render flashed across the wires to New
York, Mr. Greeley sat down and penned
an article recommending universal am
nesty. He had labtred to make the
black man free, and now he was labor
ing to mnke the white man free.
Whrn our beloved President was ar
rested and imprisoned, and • we were
powerless to succor him, Mr. Greeley
was the first man to set him free.
Just contrast the characters of the two
opposing candidates for the Presidency.:
What u Grant but a gift-taking, whis
key-drinking, horse-racing, cigar-smok
ing, law-breaking rowdy !
The speaker wanted to see the people
of the North and South clasp i<«n<ii
across the bloody chasm. We mast live
together. The Union is pinned together
with bayonets, and cemented with the
blood of the best men of both sections.
All the evils that the South is subjected
to most be corrected through the ballot-
box, it is onr only resource. We most
forget and forgive. Brave men always
foigire. He wants to see the politicians
come to the front and work with the
right spirit
The South had to accept the Cincin
nati platform. It had to be done through
policy.
Georgia is now free from Bullock and
his gang, and is again represented by
a man with snch intellect and patriotism
at her old rulers—Cobb, Crawtord and
the like.
He was proud to see old Clark re
deemed from the heel of tyranny. The Ib&IDIKB©©

day is coming when the whole 8outh
will be redeemed. He wanted to witness
his country free again, and it can be
accomplished through theagcncy of the
ballot. Let every man vote on the 5th
of November.
We have endeavored to give the snm
and substance of Colonel Bell’s speech.
We have not used in every instance his
exact words, but the above is his argil
ment. We were very much pleased with
the appearance of our nominee, and
feel assured that he will, if elected, re
flect credit on the Ninth District.
Personal.—Yesterday morning we
had the pleasure of an introduction to
Mr. Grady, of the Rome Commercial, we
were introduced a short time before day
on the cars. We had been sleeping and
bad just woke, when we were introduced,
and as the passengers were all leaving th e
cars, wc had no opportunity of forming
a better acquaintance, which we hope to
do as soon as Mr. Grady puts in an ap
pearance at our office, we trust he will do
so during his stav in our city. His paper
is a welcome visitor to our sanctum, he
will be equally so.
THE CIRCUS
John Robinson the Great Showman is
t oiuing.
The agent of John Robinson the far
famed Circus man came to our city
last night to notify the people by large
posters, that the Company would be
here next month. They have a large
Museum, Aqunriam, Menagarie aud
Circus.
Report speaks highly of the perform'
ance, John Robinson has been too long
in the business not to have the best of
everything. We wili give a more ex
tensive notice in a future issue.
Full JEist of Premiums
'Awarded.
Greeley Studs.—We are
indebted to our young friend Mr.‘
Luckie for a pair of Greeley sleevo
buttons. He has just received a lot
of them. They are useful os well as or
namental. We are glad to find him
at bis place of business once more. He
still carries some signs of the kicks re
ceived at the fair. We mean the kicks
from the horse, we have not heard of
any other, and we doubt if we ever do.
He is too clever a fellow for tlie fair sex
to treat him in that way. The yotmg
ladies of our city have the reputation
of being accomplished, intelligent and
beautiful, we don’t suppose any Rich
would object to being Luckie.
Fire.—An alarm of fire
was given on the night of the 10th,
about twelveor one o’clock. Fortunate
ly it proved to be false. We learn
this morning that some persons, insti
gated by the devil, set some old rub
bish in ablaze, rang the bell mid cried
fire. Such conduct is very reprehensi
ble, calling orderly citizens from their
beds, frightening ladies, causing the
fire companies to turn out aud giving
them a good deal of trouble with their
engines. We hope such conduct will
close. It is frequently done by young
men fora frolic. They dont think of the
evil consequences, t hat might occur from
it.
Barber Shop.—Charley Hill
has advertised in this issue that he is
ready to shave, cut hair or do any
thiug else that a good barber can do.
We take pleasure in testifijing to
Charley’s skill in his business. He
keeps sharp razors, good brushes and
a very neat shop. It will be seen that
he is alone, his former copartner’s
name being dropped.
Vebone’s Bathing Chair and
Portable Water Closet.—This in
vention is a head and shoulders above
anything of the kind we have ever
seen or heard of. It consists of
chair supplied with a ample apparatus
for administering warm or cold bathes,
especially designed for hip baths. It
should be in the house of every man
who has a family. It is no Yankee
humbug. The inventor is a Southern
man by birth and education. The
article is an ornament to a ladies
chamber, it is light, and can be easily
shitted to any part of the house. It
has taken the premium at different
fairs aud is endorsed by the best Physi
cians in the State. No one can for a
moment doubt its utility when they
see such names as Dr. Carlton, Smith,
Hull, King, Moore, Long and Ware,
of Athens, recommending it, and other
Physicians in Augusta, Union Point
and Americus. By reference to the
hand bills full particulars will be seen.
Never has our fair earth been bless
ed with more lovely weather than the
week which dawned upon us at the
time of the ibauguration of the Clark
County Fair Association, which com
menced on the 8th and closed on the
10th inst It seemed as if kind Prov
idence had smiled upon our efforts,
and turned its mighty power into
creating blessings for us poor, feeble
creatures. '
The night preceding the Fair a
lovely shower descended, which laid
the dust, cooled the atmosphere, and
rendered the grounds in magnificent
condition for the purpose they were
designed.
Tuesday, the first day, there was
not so large an attendance as on the
days following, but there were many
articles on exhibition in all the depart
ments, and new arrivals of fine stock,
boxes, packages, etc., were constantly
coming in.
We made our way to the exhibition
hall9, and entered the one on the first
floor. We were met at the door by
Mr. “ Sock” Pruitt, wbo has this
room in charge, and conducted through
the various' departments. The first
articles that met our gave can be im
agined by the reader when we. say that
in our hurry to reach the grounds we
came off minus our dinner, and had
not taken time to replenish at the laN
der so bountifully kept by our fellow-
towosmqn, Mr. Flisch, on the ground.
We 8aw , sit$ing in a row some of, the
most lovely jars of preserves, jellies,
pickles, Ac., it has ever been the lot
of the eyes of ye unsophisticated local
to rest upon. We were told that the
above articles were put upon exhibi
tion by Mrs. Rutherford, the Presi
dent of the Ladies’ Memorial Associa
te of-this city. We congratulate
Prof. R. upon having a lady so admi
rably acquainted with the culinary
department of her house, and we
would advise seme of our young gen
tlemen who we understand is contem
plating matrimony <o try and prevail
upon this lady to give their intended
a fen month’s schooling in this very
necessary branch of their education
We noticed on one corner of the ta
ble some fresh butter, which equaled
in its appearance first-class Goshen.
It was senfby Mrs. S. Phinizy.
Mrs. J. G. Wilson exhibited some
light bread:and Miss Carlton some ex
quisite biscuit. Where is the North
ern villifier- who pronounces the South
ern lady “fit for nothing!”
Mis3 Julia Carlton exhibited some
delightful preserves, which well merit
ed the premium they received.
We also noticed softs dried peaches
that could not be surpassed.
We noticed many other articles on
this fable that richly deserved men
tion, but during our absence last week
a portion of our memorandum got
misplaced or destroyed, and we have
to make our report mostly from mem
ory. So we hope the exhibitors will
excuse pur "rather one-sided report,
and not attribute it to a desire on our
$ ~*y..
part to be partisan.' •
But we mostproceed in our tour of
inspection; as-wo have yet a wide field
for observation.
We now- approach more than a
dozen bottle filled with the finest
brands of liquors, of every variety.
When the Miscellaneous Committee
came to tbisiot it seemed impossible
for them to make np their minds, so
they had to summon “extra help.
But, after a great deal of tasting and
re-tasting, they came to the conclusion
that “Bob’s” rum was good, his bran
dy better, and that old Scotch whiskey
entirely “too good to talk about.”
Tney were entered by Messrs. Lamp-
kin & Kittle.
Subscribe for The Northeast
Georg fan.
Mrs. Lumpkin bad several bottles
of blackberry wine on exhibition, that
equaled in clearness and flavor the
best vintage of France.
We then came to a bundle of wool
hats, sent by Messrs. England and
Orr. We did not stop to examine
them, but took it for granted that they
were all 0. K., as that firm will not
have any article about them but what
is first rate:
Messrs. J. Ef. Huggins & Co. did
their full share toward ornamenting
this room by setting up a magnifi
cent stand of lamps and lanterns, of
every size, shape, style, hue and quali
ty that can be imagined. They also
had on exhibition some very fine
“premium” bacon.
Mr. Jay O. Gailey also’exhibited a
splendid assortment of lamps; which
attracted their full share of attention.
- But now we come to an article that
can’t be beat. We allude to these su
perior segars, manufactured and, put
on exhibition by onr young friend; Gj
Hauser. We bad the pleasure of
giving them a thorough test, and We
can say, without fear of contradiction,
that it was the best article of the kind
we ever tried. Mr. Hauser is a maim
ed Confederate soldier, who fought
gallantly for his country, and is now
carrying on a thriving business in our
city. We will add that these cigars
are manufactured by Mr. Hauser him
self, and he keeps a “lew more of the
same kind” in his store to supply his
customers.
Mr. E. E. Jones, our enterprising
young fellow-townsman, had a tip-top
supply of house furnishing goods on
hand. He also had his celebrated
“Brilliant” stove. We never saw any
pattern that we liked so much as this,
as it has every improvement that can
be attached to a stove.
Our attention was then arrested by
a musical cigar stand, put on exhibi
tion by Messrs. Kalvarinski & Leibler
which created considerable attention.
These gentlemen also had on exhibi
tion a show-case well stocked with
beautiful meerchautn pipes, cigar-hol
ders and various other fancy goods in
their line. We have the pleasure of the
acquaintance of the latter gentleman,
and we have every reason to look up
on him as a reliable dealer. We wish
the firm every success.
Wc must now leave this room aud
make our way up-stairs. But while
going around the corner of the piazza
our attention was attracted by several
bales of forage, that was very fine. In
one corner was placed a stand full of
bobbins and spools, of every patent,
manufactured by Mr. W. Hudgin, of
this city. We are surprised that this
gentleman don’t advertise his business
more, as many of our factories pro
cure these articles from the North,
and his manufacture comes fully up
any we have ever seen of the kind.
Our manufacturing companies also
had on exhibition yarns and cloths of
every grade, but nothing that we can
say will be of any weight, as the pro
ducts of the Athens factories are too
well known.
At last we find ourselves safely lan
ded up stairs. But what have we ac
complished ? Our eyes are so bedaz-
zed and our bnua so addled by the ar
ray of beauty that everywhere meets
our gaze that we cannot bring our
sight to dwell upon any particular ob
ject. But female beauty, unlike the
sun, does not blind the eye more and
more as the gaze » rested upon it, but
after a time the resplendent beauty
that at first meets the vision is trans
formed into a clear, cyrstalic view,
that is beautiful to the eye and sooth
ing to the sight.
We enter the door of the room for
exhibition of the arts and fine goods.
On each hand the two competing sew
ing machines of Athena—the Wheeler
& Wilson and the Singer—have their
stand?.
We first examined the machines on
our right, the Wheeler* Wilson,
Messrs. Brown & Schaffer agents.
This is one of tha handsomest machines
manufactured, and has become very
popular, from the great ease with
which it is operated, the beauty and
durability of its stitch, and—the gen
tlemanly deportment of its handsome
agents in our city. We were shown
some specimens of sewing through
tin and leather, which is sufficient
proof as to its durability..
We will now examine the Singer,
this well-known machine- . What can
we say for it that will be of any ser
vice? Everybody in the United States
knows tins machine to be everything
that there is any use for one to be. It
can do everything that any sewing
machine can, and we will warrant it
to give perfect satisfaction to any one
purchasing it.
We will now pays on through a pas
sage draped with beautiful quilts, af-
ghans, counterpanes, scarfs, etc. Our
mention of these articles will necessa
rily be very brief, as we have not the
space in this issue to give them the
notice they deserve.
On our left was a beautiful white
counterpane, that looked as fresh anti
white os if it had just come out of the
loom. We learned that this article was
spun and wove by Mrs. Newton, the
wife of Mr. John H. Newton, our old
and popular fellow-townsman, some
years previous to her marriage.
We also noticed a couple of beauti
ful silk quilts, but could not learn who
put them on exhibition.
There was also a quilt sent by Mrs. (
Durham, that merited special notice.
It was made during the war, and the
pieces were made to represent flags,
fruits, books, flowers, Ac.
Many other lovely specimens of both
patch and laid-work quilts surrounded
us on every side, but we were not for
tunate enough- to learn the names of
the fair exhibitors.
There were some splendidly execu
ted specimens of knit work on hand,
which did honor to the hall.
In front of us Messrs. M. G. &J.
Cohen had a show-case well stocked
with miscellaneous goods. It is a
matter of surprise to us why gentlemen
who have such a splendid assortment
of goods on hand its this firm dp not

it known through the columns j would congratulate them upon toe
of their city papers, as we feel sure great success of their enterprise,
that our friends would take pleasure
in patronizing such aflable and eleven
gentlemen’ as” the Messrs.' Cohen ap
pear to be.
. The’next tiling that attracts otfr at-’
tention is the art department But w6
must comtoenCo" at the' first and go
around.
Miss C. SosnoWafci had several very-
fine specimens of oil paintings, which
well merited the liberal attefftioif the/
received. The paintings had that nat'
ural, life-like appearance that marks
the touch of a master hand. We learn
that Miss 8. has a class of pupils here,
and we congratulate the citizens of
Athens upon having such an accom
plished artist within their midst
Mias Marion Hearing presented a
representation of two horses, oil paint
ing, which did honor to this young
lady. They were most skilfully exe
cuted, and we predict for this lady great
laurels in the fufare if she will only
persevere.
Miss Ella Dearing exhibited two very
handsome paintings iu water colors,
which fully came up to the one execu
ted by her sister, which is saying a
great deal.
Miss Alice Thomas placed in this
department a representation of fruit,
which looked so very natural, that sev
eral juveniles, of ages varying from six
to sixty, looked nt it with covetous
eyes. We were told that this is the
third painting by this young lady. We
could but inwardly exclaim, “if
this success crowns her third attempt,
what will she not accomplish by prac
tice and experience V
Miss Ella Hamilton exhibited a
lovely drawing, executed with Indian
ink, which we think would do honor to
the gallery of artsiu Florence or Rome.
We were then shown two India ink
drawings by a couple of young Misses
of our city, Miss Lollie Rutherford and
Miss Birdie Cobb. W e had a great cu
riosity to see those two accomplished
little arsists, but did not have that
honor. We can say with truth that the
sketches would reflect honor on much
older and more experienced heads,
and we are assured that they have tie
gift so earnestly craved by many. We
would say to them to persevere with a
redoubled energy, and by the time the
next Fair rolls around they will be
able to carry off the highest laurels.

our own, but the sentiments of nearly
every one present.
Last, but not by any means least,
we come to a group of the most artis
tically executed painting, before which
groups of spectators Lave stood tver
since our arrival. We, too, approach,
aud do not longer wonder why so ma
ny persons seemed transfixed to thbt
spot, for there were pa ! ntings upon
exhibition there that showed they
were executed by an accomplished
hand. We were informed they were
painted by Miss Florence Long, who
is a pupil at the celebrated Lucy Cobb
Institute, of this city, that has turned
out as many accomplished scholars, in
every branch of refinement and learn
ing, as any Female Institute iu the
South. We were informed that Miss
Long bad been taking lessons in the
Divine Art but a short time, which
we could scarcely accredit, as each line
in her paintings seemed to be drawn,
and each portion colored, with the
hand of a second Raphael. We con
gratulate the I*ucy Cobb upon having
such au accomplished scholar as Miss
Long in its ranks-
Mr. T, A. Burk placed upon exhi
bition several statuary paintings,
which were beautiful. But it is al
most os good os goin£ to a fair just to
step into Mr. B.’s store any day, for he
has everything in his line so elegantly
displayed.
Dr. Ed. Newton sent a very laugh
able sketch that was admirably execu
ted.
Mr. Benj. J. Hunter exhibited a
couple of parlor cabinets of curiosities,
which merited much attention.
But we have already spent so much
time that we will have to close with
this room for the preseut, and refer
our readers to th&premium list for the
statement of fine kneedle-work, em
broidery, knitting, etc, that surround
us on ever\ 3ide. We wish we had
the time aud space to mention them
separately, but where all did s& well
it is unfair to discriminate.
We will now visit th,3 Machinery
Deportment.
We are here on every side greeted
with evidences of the enterprise and
thrift of Athens by the machinery put
on exhibition by the Athens Foundry
and Machine Works, Mr. Reuben
Nicherson, Manager. This establish
ments turns out every class of machin
ery used in the South, and sells them
at extremely low prices. The gentle
men that constitute the company are
every way reliable, and our friends
may rest assured that any article sold
by them is just what they say it is.
We wish the Company unbounded
success, and well do they deserve it
Messrs. Summey & Newton had
also some magnificent machinery on
hand, as also their celebrated Jackson
wagon.. These gentlemen are too well
known for reliability for us to benefit
them by recommending them.
But we will now have to dose, as
our space is all occupied. We will
mention the other articles at some fu
tore day.
We would, ere we dose, return our
sincere thanks to the officers of the
Fair for the courteous and gentlemanly
manner in tfhieh they treated us, aud
