Jo* to thb Wobld! Worn* is Fan!—Among
tbs many modern discoveries looking to the happi
ness and amelioration of the human race, none is
entitled to higher consideration than tbe renowned
remedy—Dr. J. Bradfleld’s Female Regulator, Wo-
man’s Best Friend. By it woman is emancipated
from numberless ilia peculiar to her ssx. Before
its magic power all irregularities of the womb van
ish. It cures whites. It cores suppression of tho
menses. It romovee uterine obstructions. It cures
constipation and strengthens the system. It braces
the nerves and purifies the blood. It never fails,
as thousands of womon will testify. Thia valuable
medicine is prepared and sold by L. H. Bradfield,
druggist, Atlanta, Ga. Trice, *150 per Bottle. All
respectable drag men keep it.
So highly concentrated are Dr. Price's special fla
voring*, that a small quantity only need be need.
Get a bottle of any flavor, and see bow much more
the bottles hold, besides being superior in strength.

Tub peculiar virtue of Dr. Price’s cream baking
powder ia shown in persona who Buffer, from dys
pepsia, the; can eat blecnite, etc., made with it

Tranatoxr.—Thousands of mothers aro constant
ly speaking in exalted terms of commendation of
tho magical effects of Mrs. Whitcomb's Syrup for
soothing infants toothing.
Ron Om—Yesterday afternoon at about five
slock, as Austin Carter, a colored m
driving the buggy of Mr. Daniel Driggers from
the Fair Grounds, n train on the Central Road
at the crossing ran into him, breaking one hind
leg of the mule and injuring the buggy consid
erably. The driver was slightly hurt.
He Has Them.—Many visitors to the Fair
have ranted rooms or are assigned quarters in
private houses but depend upon the restaurants
to feed them. To all such we say go to Carlos’
saloon when yon g«t hungry. Ho keeps every
thing that is good to eat and knos? exactly how
to fix it np right. We speak from experience.
Don't forget W. P. Carlos' saloon, EUa’ old
stand Mulberry street ~
A Balloon Ascension as was not a Balloon
Ascension—J/ueA /—Miss St. Clair went “ up
in a balloon” yesterday afternoon at the Fair
Grounds, but before she had ascended more
than three hundred feet, the gas began to es
cape, and she came to the ground rather too
rapidly for pleasure, but perhaps not too much
so for dinner settling and anti-dyspeptic pur
poses. Wo adrise her to “pick her flint and
try it again.”
Up Town.—Wo ask onr friends in tho city
to report any items of importance that trans
pire on tbe streets. Onr whole time is occupied
at the Fair Grounds, and it is an impossibility
to be on the streets and at the Fair at the same
time. Wo therefore earnestly request all who
know any items of interest to leave them at the
offico. Wo will be in the sanctum from 5J
o’clock p. XL, to 1 A. JL, and will be grateful for
any local information.
Regatta,—In tho boat races, yosterday after
noon, tho first race was for sculls—inland
crews. Tho three Macon Clubs, tho Koff,
Empire and Combination, wore tho only contest
ants in tho field. The Hoff was the winner,
making the mile in C:07, while the Empire made
it in G:19j. The Combination being distaheed,
their time was not givon. In the canoo
same entrios—the Empire was the winnea. Wo
failed to got the time made in this race.
Elegant Billiaed Table.—Among tho many
noticeably elegant articles on exhibition at the
Fair, that strikes the masculine taste at least
with peculiar force, Is a billiard tablo entered
by Mr. C. A. Nnttiug. It is of Phelan & Col-
lender’s latest and most improved pattern, ele-
quisitely finished, and makes an amateur's
fingers tingle just to look at it.
When Mr. N. gets it set np in his elegant
home, the billiard man on the other side of tho
paper proposes to test its qualities.
Flobal Hall Art* Gallzbt.—The paintings
exhibited by Mr.' G. H. Hills, representing
Southern scenery, attracted much attention.
Indeed we regard them among tho gems of the
whole exhibition. They aro so true to nature
that in looking upon them one may fancy him
self gazing on Toecoa (the Beautiful) or in the
midst of the wild mountain soenery surrounding
the Anna Ruby Falls, or away from the multi
tude and the hum of busy voices in tbe quiet
of Smoky Hollow. We hope these paintings
will be exhibited in every city of Georgia to
show how unnecessary it is to go abroad to
enjoy the finest natural scenery.
A pleasant UEUNION of several members
of Evans' brigade, was hold at the City
Hall last night. Memories of the old war times
were recalled, and steps were taken to collect
tho records of the brigade, and to provide a
plan of relief, etc. Tbe following constitutes
the Executive Committee: Gen. Evans, Eu
gene Jeffreys, Geo. W. Sims, Col. Capers, Col.
Etkinson, OapL E. W. Crocker, Cob Jones, CapL
Howard, Cob DAvant, Cob Lowe, Cob Crowder,
Cob Baker, and Cob Halibte. All communi
cations to bo addressed to God, O. A. Evans,
Atlanta, Ga. Another nnion ia to be had next

St. Louis Bell Tuzble Piano.—This splen
did instrument which attracts so much atten
tion, is exhibited by Messrs. Guilford & Hill,
of our city. To it was awarded the gold medal
by our State Fair, and the eilrer medal, also,
for the best piano of Southern manufacture.
Tbe peculiar features of this piano are fullness
and softness of tone, with great evenness in
the sealea through all the registers, a point cel-
dom attained. This is accomplished by an ap
plication in the treble which consists of a bell
metal block for a rest, instead of the agraffe or
wooden rest commonly used. We trust many of
these elegant pianos will be introduced into the
homes onr citizens. , , - ..
Musio Pbeahum.—In tho contest for tho
special premium of $25, offered by Mayor
Huff for tho best performer upon tho pi
ano nnder 12 years of age, the premium was
arwarded to little Jennie Waxelbaum, age seven
years, and tho premium for the best performer
under 17 years was divided between little Jessie
Bemd, age 7 years, and Miss Ida Feuchtwanger,
age 18 years. The two younger of these win
ners are pupils of Mrs. E. H. Link, who, we
learn, is a Georgia lady, raised in Macon. We
mention this only to illustrate the fact that we
have as good material at home as there is abroad,
and that it is all folly to bo sending across the
ocean for music teachers, or anything else,
when we can do just as well at home.
The Parrnzs! The Pranas!! The Pbet-
tees! 1!—Wo don't allude to any of your silver
ware, flowers, agricultural implements, steam
engines nor anything of the sort; but we mean
the ladies on the Fair Grounds. If a contest
were on hand for tho P. G. in G. we aro do-
cidedly of the opinion that the premium would
bo awarded to at least two thousand. We must
not bo misunderstood, especially by onr better
half. Wo are not taking on by any means; in
fact, if we were on the courting list it would be
impossible to make a selection, they are all tho
Jest, We have noticed several members of
our brotherhood playing tho devoted, but we
warn the ladies that some of the fraternity are
fortunate enough to be married (poor wives,
you are entitled to sympathy!) Be careful not
to fall in love with any of them, but pshaw 1
why this advice; we know there's no danger.
Hazob Floub Tictoeiocs.—Best bread at the
Georgia State Fair baked out of Small & Gam-
bio’s choice Hszor flour, by Mrs. B. H. Wrigley,
and the premium carried eff over mapy com
petitors. Small 4 Gamble are the flour men of
Macon, and no mistake. They refer to the ladies
of Macon and surrounding country as to the
superior merits of their jnstly celebrated flour.
This go-ahead firm have constantly on hand a
full supply bf everything in the grocery and
provision line, and we conscientiously advise
our friends to trade with them, for we know no
better men.
Don’t forget that the raffle for Mr. Clay's
gray trotter will take place at the Brown House
to-night, at 7o'clock. All parties who have taken
chances aro requested to bo on hand promptly
to throw for themselves or deputize some one
to throw for them.
The Wobeeui i*»™ —R»i«t/vi Hall w
again crowded by a delighted audience last
night, to witness tbe performance of the tal
ented artistes, the Worrell Sisters, and their
very excellent comic opera company. Tho en
tertainment consisted of the extravaganza of
the “ Heathen Chinee,” and tho farce of. “ Tho
Heads of tho People.” In the former, Miss
Sophie appeared as Pekoe, Miss Irene as tho
Princess, and Miss Jennie as Aladdin, each en
trancing tho entire audience by their singing,
dancing and acting; Harry Jackson as Widow
Twankey kept the house in a continual roar of
laughter: Miss Jennie Wilimore Franck as the
Vizier, and Geo. Lingard as tho Magician, were
excellent—in fact, all the company sustained
their previous reputation. This evening Offen
bach's opera bonffe of the “ Grand Duchess
will be presented, -with Mias Sophie as the
Duchess, a character in which she has no equal,
and which she performed for two hundred and
twenty successive nights in New York city.
Miss Jennie will also appear in her specialty of
Nan the Good for Nothing.
IsiFEOVZMENTS.—Ool. Lewis, Secretary of the
State Agricultural Sooiety, informs ns that the
improvements on machines long in use, such as
steam engines, gins, com hosiers, etc., as ex
hibited at the present Fair are larger than were
ever before exhibited in Georgia, and that spec
imens of ingenious inventions recently made
excel all previous exhibitions of the kind com
bined. In fact every department is full, and
there is no doubt that this is the Fair of Geor
gia. The superiority of this Fair over all others
ever held is doutless attributable to the prestige
which "the'old Agricultural Society holds, and
has maintained for twenty-six years, in tha
confidence of the people. This wide-spread in
terest la in great measure due to the fact that
in its organization ' county societies from all
parts of the State are part and parcel of tho or
ganization. . The aociety has been honored by
visit from two ei-Governors, Brown and John
son, and two of its ex-presidents, Cooper and
Yancey. We have other points of interest to
mention in ibis connection but want of space
forbids in this issue.
Gold Mmit. Pnnm-w—We publish below
tbe report of the committee appointed to test
tho merits of cooking stoves at the Fair yester
day. It will be seen that Messrs. B. A. Wise &
Co. received the premium upon tho celebrated
Buck Brilliant. We have in person examined
this stove and find it the hat, according to onr
judgment, we have ever seen. Messrs. Wise &
Co. are sole agents for its sole in Macon, and
we heartily recommend it to housekeepers. Mr.
Wise is too well known to need any commenda
tion at our hands, but we cannot stop without
saying thatheisnsniceageutleman and as well
worthy of patronage as any man in Georgia;
Report of the committee appointed to test tho
merits of tho different cookiDg stoves compe
ting for the premium of a gold medal at the
Georgia State Fair, October 2Gth, 1871:
Entered for premium : “Great Benefactor,”
by Oliver, Douglass & Co; “Stewart,” by Ful
ler, Warren 4 Co., of Troy, New York; “Back’s
Brilliant,” by B. A. Wise. After a test trial in
baking the committee award to B. A. Wise 4

The Presentation.—Yesterday at ono o’clock
p. m. the bountiful fruit casket was presented
by Cob Styles in behalf of tho press to Mayor
nnff. A large crowd gathered in Floral Hall,
the band meanwhile discoursing sweet music.
After tbe members of tho press hod formed a
circle immediately around the stand Cob Styles
stopped forward, mounted the table, and, in a
few timely nnd pointed remarks, complimented
Mayor Hoff for his energy and enterprise, and
the citizens of Macon, especially tho ladies, for
tho interest they had manifested In the groat
State Fair, at the same time presenting tlio cas
ket to his Honor.
Ur. Hoff stepped forward, and with a goodly
degree of unaffected modesty, mado a few re
marks accepting tho testimonial, compliment
ing veiy highly tho press of Georgia and other
States, and closed by saying he was not a speak
ing man, but that his friend, Cob Hardeman
was, at tho same time introducing tho Colonel
to the audience. Cob H. begun by telling an
anecdote of two yonngmen, brothers, who had
passed through college together, one of whom
bad received all the honors, while the other had
received none. In tho report of the brother
who had won no honors to his father he re
marked, “father, brother has received all tho
honors, bnt I’m playing for the odd trick,” The
Cob then said that his friends Styles nnd Huff
had said all that was to be said, and that he had
nothing to play for bnt the odd trick. His
speech was characteristic of the man, getting
off some good jokes and at times becoming veiy
eloquent. He complimented very highly tbe
laborers who had worked so hard to complete
the fair grounds.
Cob Clpere, of Savannah, was loudly called
for, who responded in a few pointed and elo
quent remarks, complimenting very highly the
ladies, as did each of the other speakera. Cob
Gavit, of tho New York Express, was next
called for. Mr. Gavit remarked in tbe outset
that he was no speaker, he was simply a scrib
bler. His few remarks wero very portinent,
and he closed by proposing three old-fashioned
cheers for Mayor Huff, after which the band
played "Hail to tha Chief,” and the crowd dis
persed-

The New Disineectant. —The necessity for
using some kind of deodorizing and disinfect
ing agent on all premises where there is any
foul odor arising from decaying substances, is
not appreciated to the extent it deserves, and
the neglect to apply this simple remedy is the
cause of much sickness which might be avoid
ed, by cleansing tho atmosphere of all offensive
smells.
We have, therefore, been obliged to use car
bolic acid or some other zubstance, all of which
leave a disagreeable odor; and for this reason,
and they beiDg poisonous, they are not used
generally. Bnt in “Bromo-Chloralnm,” pre
pared by Tilden 4 Co., we are now provided
with an article of great efficiency, entirely
harmless, and without any odor of its own,
hile it is economical and well adapted to gen
eral use, in dwellings, hotels and hospitals, etc.
The general opinion of the pnblio is that the
Georgia Restaurant, is the best place in Macon
to get a good meal. Try it.
How about those fine Tennessee beef steaks
served up at the Georgia Restaurant?
Two mjNDBED five pound boxes of those fino
grapes received at Corput’s will sell at 75 cents
per box to close consignment.
Teuaian & Geeen are selling the best Broom
in the city for 50 cents.
Rehehbee that fine lot of Catawba and Isa
belle grapes. Everybody bays them at Corpnt’s.
