Savannah Fair.
We had the pleasure of attending the
Savannah Fair last week, »nd s -eaking
from actual experience, we pro- ounce i a
complete success, eclipsM-g, by far, any
other thing of th» knd ever held withi»
the boundary lines of the old Empire State.
There were more people present, and, we
are reliably informed, the entries far <x
ceded those of tt*.- Ptat Fai r. The grounds
of the Industrial Association a e not ytt
c mplete, th -t, however, proved no dr v
back to the Exposition ae they were »m
--ply competei-tjo insu- e the entire success
of the fair. The race track, though rather
heavy at present, is a magnificent one>
and by the aid of a little improvement, wil
rank among the finest in the country.
The exhibi ion halls are very large an-1
commodious, and during the fair were
chock-a-block with every variety of man
ufactured and other art cles. A greaternum
of catch p nny shows in one local ty, we
dc’,l rem- mbei to ever have seen, wh le
other places of ; musemen' and money ma
king were in superabundance. Everybody
was there and everybody < Ise, and where so
much was to be seen how can we be expect
ed to tell all.
some few r;>ces took place
during our stay, which were sp rited. A
foot race between Indian w rriorswas also
a feature of the fair. Westou, the walkist,
showed the people how to tramp, making
five miles in an hour, a half mile of the
distance backwards. Two of the bes
bands in the Counr'y were in attendance
Well, to sum the whole thing up—as w e
are rn a hurry—t was a big thing, and we
wish to remark, hurrah for the Savannah
Fair.
The Editorial Attendants at the Fair-
While at the fair last week, weof course
were a constant visitor at the “editors
home** at the fair grounds, and we will now
try and give an accout of the press gang
where we went.
The first “Captain of the pm” whom we
that beautiful 'sun shade,
knowu as Harris, of the News. He wa
navigating erratically around one of the
exhibition halls, looking as if lie w s hunt
ing a Good Templat’s Lodge, but feeling
as he expressed it—as if he had either been
run over by a cart or kicked by a mule.—
Harris is one of the best fellows in the
world, aod deserves to live as long as we
do. J. Jt. Christian, editor of the Lump*
kin Telegraph, and whole sale dealer in live
rabbits, was also ou band. Gorman—yes,
that man Gorman, he was to the fair too,
as was a)sb Christian, of the Cuthberi
Appeal. Those young orphans, Frank
Evans and Charley Pendleton were jerked
into the editor’s saloou by Gentry of the
News, at the same lime we were. Captain
Davis, of the Lake City Press, we also had
the pleasure of meeting.
Os the Savannah gang J. H. - Fstill Esq ,
Col W. T. Thompson), of the News,Messrs
Beard and Kimball, of the Advertiser
and L&motteof the Republican, we bad the
good fortune to take by the baud.

District court has been passed.

this Stat«) to sue for the recovery of a pen
alty in the nature of damages against any

Binnnnxis Factory.—We call special attention
to the advertisement of W. D* G. Tonge, the en.
ergetic manager of the Bainbridge Factory,
The Bainbridge Factory guarantees to furnish
to merchants and planters of Southern Geo<gia,
goods at much cheaper rates, than they can be
purchased at in Northern markets

up ths manufacturing interest of our own State
We commend the Bainbridge Factory to the
