An effort will be made to got Iho 3i
reiton of the North Georgia stock and
fair association to continue the exhibi
tion and races until Saturday night—
one week. If a programme can be ar
ranged; tho people will stay, and don’t
you forget it.
The above appears in the Conolilulion
of Sa'orday, or. rather we should say
Friday evening, and dated Saturday.
Then comes the Atlanta Tort of the
eeme day, and saye, “considering yester
day as the first day, there never was a
Fair in Atlanta or in the State which
opened 60 propitiously. It wae estimated
that over fire thousand people visited the
gronudB yesterday, and for to-day these
figures will have beau doubled before
night,”
Bat “yesterday" was not the first day
according to tbo muchly adveitised pro
gramme, but Monday the 21st, when the
gates were duly opened and the money
of all who came rcoeived. We had
thought all along that the fair wsb to
continue one week only, and our respect
ed contemporaries have uniformly denied
that it wsa intended to His ate against
the acnnal exposition of the State prop
er, which been held for a long eeriee
of years, and represents ovary interest in
the commonwealth. Even when the an
nouncement wae positively made that ig
noring tho set time published in thous
ands of circulars, and repeated through
sooresof newspaper advertisement?, the
exhibition would commence on e st
fair day and be continued six days,” or by
that eho wing untllWcdnesday of this week,
tve felt disposed to mako no special com
plaint, in view of the exceedingly in-
olement weather, which had effectually
rqaelobed their show. But now, aft- r
three olondiess days, with three moro to
come in all probability, to have it gravely
stated that tho whole of o week will
also be monopolized by the North Geor
gia Association, despite tho opening of
the State Fair, shows how hollow were
those protestations that Atlanta meant
no hostility to the exhibitions of the
Georgia Agricultural Society, but really
intended to benefit them by her own ex
hibitions, albeit special osre had been
tsk a to fo ttal tho forme; by just one
week, so that it would be well nigh im
possible for those who went to Atlanta to
visit Macon also.
This treament will be received with un
utterable disgust by all Middle and
Southern Georgia, also by those in the
hilt c.-antry of the State, who have any
interest in that grand annual industrial
show which has co long a period il
lustrated the com nwealth and aocom-
pi.shed so muoh for her material prog
ress.
We do not in the least wish to be un
derstood ui animadverting upon our
brethren of the Atlanta press, ae they
are simply ventilating the action of the
constituted authorities in tbo premises.
But we submit that this is cot tho prop-
!■&*^ckuf^eecrional jealousy
which was originally moved to Atlanta
by the power of Federal bayonets, and
located there by tbo aid, in a large
measure, of Radical negro votes.

Close Cp Your stores. Gentle
men, on Wednesday.
A rumor having obtained currency that
the merchants and business msn ot M
con s lling to close their door
during the parade and imposing ceremo
nies connected with the unveiling o( the
Confederate monument, an indignant
ady exclaimed: “I do not believe it. For
fontteen long years tho women of
Macon have labored night and
day to erect this monument, pleading,
urging and almost compelling their hus
bands and brothers to aid ia tho good
work, and now that they have succeeded,
and the boantifal and ebaste etraotnre
challenges tho admiiation o£ all, the
community cannot, mutt not, bs wanting
in sympathy with the last crowning act,
whioh ia tho solemn nnveiling asd dedi
cation of this noble monnmens to the he
roic dead.”
This patriotic l&dy’bat voices tho al
most unanimous opinion of the publio,
and wo trust that tho business men of
the city will heed her remarks. Tho euo-
eess of the Jasper Centennial wa3 mainly
owing to tho interest and self abnegation
displayed by all guilds and classes of the
city of Savannah. They closed thtir
stores, ornamented every building with
countless flags and transparencies, and
vied with each other in extending the
most boundless hospitality to tho visitors
and guests of tho city. Shall Mseoa do
less? Wo trow not.
Let our merchants then resolvo that
ttey will devote at least one half day to
the graceful duty of rendering due honor
to the fallen bravo who died in defense
of Southern liberty.
We trust thi3 appeal will not be made
ia vain, and that next Wednesday wil*
witness the proud spectacle of a whole
communi'y turning out cn masse to do
homage to tho loved and lost of the
late struggle for independence.
He that refases to de so wil! find in
tbo end that ho bus gained nothing by
tbc exhibition oi tsuuu supreme Eun=n-
ness. Lot next Wednesday then by uni
versal cement be observed as a general
holiday.
FOUSYTH FIRE.
Honroc Female Cntlege Burned—
SG.OOO Irzursuce.
From advance sheets of (ha Monroe
Advertiser wo got the following particu
lars of the burning of the Female College
building in Forsyth:
About 8 o’clock oa Sri arday morairg
laet smoke was seen issuing from tbn top
of the Monroe Female Co'.lege building.
Efforts were at cnca made to find the
source of the fire, but nothing bat the
smoko could be seen, oozing through the
cracks of the ceiling acd roof. Iu a few
moments the roof burst into a blaze, so
quick and to enddenas almost to paralyze
effort. Tte alarm was sounded and hun.
deeds went to the burning building to do
all they oould in caving tho furniture and
othor contenfs of the oollege. A groat
deal ot farcituro and all of tho baggage
and personal properly of the young U-
di- a were eaved. Many useful books of the
horaries and numerous articles of value
and come furniture were burned. The
fire commenced in the rooE and burned
elowly downward, giving time to get the
furniture and trunks out. President As
tarj and Dt. Hiilyer sustained consider
able Joss, Twice have tho devour
ing flames driven Dr. Hilly er from t
home, each time with lies of li
brary and personal effects. Mrs. C. H
Sharp, the matron, also lost considerably
of liou-:cbo:d goods and provisions.
The building was among Iho first ever
erected in Foray tta and wss not originally
in’ ended for a female college. For more
then thirty years, however, ib has been
the property of a Board of Ttuitoo? as
chartered college. Firet and last it hbs
cafct from twenty to tbiity bonssnd dol
lars. In 1871 and 1872 the kuHding was
thoroughly repaired and renovated ut
cost of abmt eight thousand dollars. It
was built cf brick, three atcriee, and was
lorge < acn^h to contain rooms far thirty
boarders, recitation rooms and a spacious
chapel. For many, many years it has
stood, always under tho control of pious
end learned men, annually sending forth
a number of yonng ladies educated and
aceomplisned. From the seaboard of
Georitia to the mountains these graduates
are dispersed, many doing the noble work
of teaohing otheis.
Thongh another building will bo rreot-
ed at once, perhaps belter suited for
school purposes than this one, yet the
heart eaddena to think of the destruction
of this bouse eo sacred ia memory to
hundreds of our people. The work and
irioor of years was destroyed in a brief
hour or two. The building was insured
for the sum of $6,000; $3,000 in the
Sou:horn Mutual Company, of Athene,
and $3.CC0 in the Georgia Home, of Co-
Iambus. Thi? sum will suffice to erect
another building ample for the pnrposee,
and better adapted to the wants of the
pchool. The echool will cot be suspended
for a day, but Presi-ent Ashbury and his
corps of teaobera will at once secure an
other building end continue the exer
cises.

terns and lights in honor of the corapl'.
tion of the Confederate monument. Tho
idea has spread rapidly and iB taking with

bntit ie thought many writ decorate their
private residences. The Chinese lan
terns will form the principal means Of
decoration. They are designed for out
6id8 purposes, aro not daugeron*, are
inexpensive and vory protty. They can
bo arranged iu many handsome designs

are liberated from it. With an equal
amount of this wick turned up a much
brighter and clearer light is obtained
than when cotton ones are used. Tho
smoking is greatly reduced, and at Isaac
ten per cent, of oil is saved. There is
ecarcely any waste of the wick itself, and

these two ministers working harmonious
ly together,though from different sections
of tho land. Dr. Marston has been
qnite ill for tho prat two weeks, eo that
tbe main work of teachicg has been

It is altogether an excellent idea to eus-,

Indeed, their stock embraces every con
Crivable ar cl in their line, including
