We have received the following
communication on this subject from
a gentleman in Taliaferro county:
Sharon, Ga., Nov. 3rd, 1885.—
Mr. Gantt—Dear Sin An election
lias been orttered and will be held
in Taliaferro county, on the 23rd of
this month, to determine whether
intoxicating liquors shall be sold in
this county. I wish to gain all the
information with reference to the
■working of the law in other counties
it is possible to obtain. I take the
liberty ol writing to you, as a man
capable of forming an intelligent
and unbiased opinion on this subject
and a*k the following questions:
1. Were you a resident of Clarke
countv before the adoption of pro
hibition in that county?
2. Has the value of real estate-de
creased in your county and city
since it went into effect?
3. It there is any change in the
value ol real estate since this law
was adopted, as shown by the tax
books, state how much and in wliat
direction.
4. Whether there has been a per
ceptible change, increase or de
crease, in the criminal record of
your county, as shown by the dock
ets ot the superioi court.
5. Whether the stoppage of this
traffic has not been ot general bene
fit to the county of Clarke, as indi
cated by a higher tone of morals
anti other general improvements.
6. Whether your observation does
or does not lead you to the conclu
sion that prohibition would be of
benefit to the county of Taliaferro,
or any other county in the state.
You would greatly oblige me and
other friends to the measure of pro
hibition by an-ivi-ring these ques
tions at as eat !v a day as possible,
i lie election is close at him), anti
We w isli tt, give the tacts a general
pool c.-i'i .n throughout the county.
Hoping to hear from you soon, 1
am, very respectfully,
J. 1* Mathews.
W e answer briefly the questions
Correspondent, as follows:
•We have been a resident of
Clarke county for a number of
vears. The prohibition law went
• nto effect in this county on the 11th
day nl July ol the present year, so
that a correct answer to many of the
questions aikcd cannot he" given
from 1 he fact that sufficient time lias
not yet elapsed to demonstrate the
ful! effect of this measure. If there
lias been any change in the value of
real estate it lias been an increase in
its value. The time has been too
short to form a correct opinion of
die criminal record, as shown by
the d >ck‘ t of the super io 1- court, but
all will admit that in the city court
a decrease ot at least 50 per cent,
lias taken place, and that a most re
markable change in the peace and
rrder of our city has occurred. It
; s a rare thing indeed to see a man
on our sireets in a state of intoxica
tion. and boisterous and disorderly
conduct is now altogether unknown.
Very few arrests from anv cause
have hern made by the police since
the law went into operation. We
say without hesitation that the pro
hibition law has been of great ben-
fit to tlie city and the county of
Clarke, and we are convinced that
-uch will lie the judgment oi all fair-
minded rnen wherever the law is
adopted; and we hope the time may
soon come when the sale of intoxi
cating liquors will he forever pro-
hibited in every county in the state
of Georgia.

On Monday night last Jasper
Henderson, of Toccoa, suspected
of being a revenue informer, and a
desperate character, while at his
father-in-law's house, Mr. Dodd,
six miles fiom Claiksville, was call
ed to the door hv an unknown
party, when he was shot and in
stantly killed by a charge of buck-
shot. lie was a notoriously bad
character, having nearly beaten his
wife to death a lew days previous
to the killing. It is a question as to
whether some of the 1 datives of his
wife did tlie killing, or some one of
the moonshiners whom he had re
ported.

A Circus Adjourns a Court.
The presencejjf Cole’s circus in
'own this week calls to mind an
.imu.ing incident that occurred in
Greensboro some years ago. Judge
iiattlet: was holding an adjourned
eroi of court of November. A
circus was billed to visit Giecnes-
noro on a certain day during the
week. This was just alter the in
’.reduction ol the caliope, or steam
piano. Few in this section had
ever seen or heard one, and the
flaming picture of the instrument,
with the big adjectived description
attracted universal attention. Pub
lic curiosity was at fever heat. At
last the eventful day Came, and
| with it came a great cr-wd of peo
ple. It seemed that all the -men,
women and children in the county
were in town. At the usual hour
[mlge Bartlett mounted the bench,
and called the court to order. The
room was crowded with people
who were waiting with growing
impatience for the grand street pa
role. Tin- resties crowd could not
he still. Suppressed excitement
was depicted in every face. The
sheriff was continually shouting
"Silence;” A case of some impor
tance was being tried and one of
the lawyers was harranging a jury
which, under the circumstances,
Rufus Choate could not have inter
ested. All at once the shrill piping
of the new musical instrument was
heard, the crowd below raised a
lieli. and everybody—spectators,
jury, bailiffs, lawyers—all save the
Judge and Major Hall, the clerk of
court—-rushed pell mell to the win
dows. Such peeling over shoul
ders! Such creening of necks to
get a sight of the thing! Judge
Bartlett called "Order!” The sher
iff yelled, “Silence!” But to no
purpose. The court room was like
to the Georgia legislature when
Henry Grady mounted the speak-

The clouds looked threatening
yesterday morning, but despite the
bad weather, the fair grounds were
well filled with the beauty and chiv
alry of the classic city and the sur
rounding counties. The first thing
that attracted the attention of the
reportei, is the fence machine of
the Georgia Fence Co. This is a
splendid machine and makes a fence
as fast as weaving cloth. It is rep
resented by Mr. Frank Logan, and
is well worth looking at.
There were a few displays made
by the merchants that we ovei*
looked yesterday. Messrs. Rush &
Eherhart. tlie new druggists, have
made a liighlv creditable exhibit.
This is a Hew firm just started in
Athens, and from their exhibit we
predict a brilliant future.
Messrs. Collins & Fullin had the
mislottune to lose a j<orti#an of their
display liy the diamond thief, which
threw a damper over these two en
ergetic gentlemen,but nevertheless,
they had a magnificent display ot
jewelry and bric-a-brac.
IN THE LADIES DEPARTMENT.
Thiough the kindness of Mrs.
Hipkins, we were shown the han
diwork of the ladies of Athens and
vicinity. This department is filled
to overflowing with different things
entered by the ladies, and it looks
more like the abode of the fairies
than anything else, and ^ould take
the whole paper to tell* of their
beauties. We will therefore give a
casual notice ot each one, and if we
fail to notice all of them, it is be
cause we could not get the entries.
Mrs. Cranford has a beautiful stand
011 the left hand of painting, deco
rative work on pottery, paintings
on velvets, which is said to be very
difficult. Mrs. Cranford is certaidly
an artist and her display is magnifi
cent.
Mrs. H. S. Hughes has a large
show case filled with darned work,
applique and crazy work. Mrs.
Hughes has a beautiful display.
Mrs. VV. W. Thomas exhibited a
beautiful embroidered child’s dress.
Mrs. Allie Billups had a fine dis-
play.
Miss Mattie Hunnicutt entered a
fine specimen of painting on china.
Mrs. Hipkins exhibited worked
hand bags, tidies, watchpocket and
various other articles that are per
fectly splendid.
Miss Tillie Morton displayed a
■beautiful table cover in silk and
worsted.
Miss Maggie Morton’s display of
painting was very good, and should
have taken the premium.
Mrs. Geo. D. Thomas, an em
broidered rocking chair, which is
beautiful, and if space would permit
we would like to give a longer no
tice of this chair.
Mrs. S. D. Mitchell and Miss
Julia Carlton, a stand of cutflowers,
which were greatly admired by all
of the visitors.
Skiff, the jeweler, who was never
known to be left on his spectacles
and jewelry, has a fine display.
Mrs. Bloomfield has on exhibi
tion a beautiful quilt of the old
style. Mrs. Dr. Hamilton shows
some beautiful antique lace.
Miss Sadie Campbell, worsted
embroidety, which is exceedingly
pretty.
Mrs. Kate Moore made an ex
hibit of beautiful darn work, ap
plique, &c.
Mrs. John H. Newton wove the
cloth, spun the thread and made
the quilt. It reflects great credit on
this lady.
Mrs. Rutherford, splendid ribbon
work.
Miss Millie Rutherford, of the
Lucy Cobh, a splendid crazy quilt.
She ought to have taken a pre
mium.
Mrs. Lizzie Colt shows a lace
veil made 40 years ago.
Miss Fannie Lucas took the blue
ribbon on a splendid afghan.
Mrs. Stroud, a fine quilt and ap
plique work.
Miss Emily Hamilton has a beau
tiful collection of paintings. We
notice the blue ribbon, which de
notes the premium, attached to her
paintings.
There was a large table on the
left of the hall, filled with bread and
cake, made by our own fair ladies
ol Athens. ,
Mrs. Lamar Cobb took the pre
mium on lightoread and plain bis
cuit. Her exhibit of bread was fine,
and made the reporter’s mouth
water.
Mrs. Muir entered a splendid
sponge cake. There was no pre
mium offered for sponge cake, but
the committee can testify that it
was very fine, as they had the
pleasure of eating it up. The re-
C or ter was just a few minutes too
ite to get a slice.
Miss Callie Sowsnowiki exhibi
ted some beautiful oil paintings,
also Miss Maud Talmadge and
Miss Lucy Linton.
-Miss Belle Swann, a beautiful
crazy quilt.
Mr. Clifton, the photographer,
has a splendid display of his pic
tures.
Miss Sallie JFleming had a fine
display of paintings.
In the main exhibit hall, Mrs. L.
Cobh made a beautiful display of
large waiters of vegetables, contain-
ing english peas, beans, radishes,
irish potatoes, tomatoes and celery,
and various other vegetables. ,
Mrs. Lucas took the premium on
pickles and jelly.
Mrs. Rutherford had a fine dis
play of fruits and vegetables.
We came very near not seeing a
parasol made out of locks of cotton,
made by Miss Lamar Rutherford.
It is perfectly splendid.
Mrs. Holman had a fine display
of butter and wine. The butter we
know was good,' and could have
told better about it, if we had been
on the testing committee.
Mrs. Col. D. C. Barrow, had a
nice display of home made wine.
We omitted to mention the game
chicken exhibit, by Dr. Swep Bil
laps. They were not entered tor
premiums, bnt they were very band-
some. Dr. Billujps is a great lover
of game chickens, and has some of
the finest in'the Sopjth.
Dr. Hamilton has a fine Jersey
calf on exhibition.

Nunn, Jim Crowley and Seaborn
Cole, colored. The premium was
awarded to Cicero Nunn.
THE RACES.
The track was exceeding heavy,
and it was thought by the knowing
ones, that the race was not to the
fastest, but to the strongest. The
first was a running race, half mile,
best two in three. Boulevard, Plan
ter, and red Jim were the entries.
Planter was the favorite with those
who had a small amount of
cash to invest. They were
called and each one of the trim
racers looked in good keeping. The
first heat was won by Planter in 57$,
closely followed by Boulevard, i he
second heat was again won by
Planter, which gave him the race
and money. 4
The trotting race was the prin
cipal event ot the day. This race
was the 2:45 class, tiiat had been
postponed on Thursday on
count of the bad weather.
The entries were. Echo, a beautiful
bay horse driven by Joe Bland, of
Nashville, D. J., a large black horse
driven by the prince ol horsemen,
VV. S. Holman, Miss Cauley, the
favorite entered by John McIntosh
Miss Cauley is a very stylish little
dark bay mare and has a record
down in the twenties. 01.1 Boh.
the hero of many hard contested
races, driven bv W. P Price, of
Oconee. Tom Bowling, once the
favorite of the Athens sporting men,
was driven by Mr. Jim Price.
The positions were drawn. Echo
getting the inside, D.J. next. Bob,
Tom Bowling and Miss Cauley on
the outside. They got a gcod start.
Echo taking the lead and holdi g it
to the end of the race, with D.J.
second, Miss Cauley third and Bob
fourth. Tom Bowling distanced time
three minutes. The second heat was
called after the horses had all been
rubbed off and walked around.
There was a great deal of interest
manifested in this heal, as it was
thought that if Miss Cauley could
not win this heat she would break
down on account of the heavy track.
The send off was good with Echo in
the lead. Miss Cauley done some
fine trotting in this heat, and was
nearly passing Echo, when she went
off her feet and lost considerably.
She however got down to work
and contested with D. J., for the
second place. Echo came under
the wire several lengths ahead with
D.J., second, and Miss Cauley close
at his collar.
The time was again three minutes.
All the horses seemed to be very
much distressed, and the drivers
were coveted with mud from head
to heels. The third heat was trot
ted beautifully, but Echo never
gave up, and won Ihe race, with
D. T. second, and Miss Cauley
third in 3:08. The visitors were
all well pleased.
The free-for-all trot to-dav will
be very exciting, as all the horses,
with oneexception, that trotted in
the 2:45 class will go in this race.
There is a good purse offered and
some splendid trotliug will be
done.

One does DotrnJWlth a Circus Company.
Cincinnati, November 6.—A
special from Lawrenceburg to the
Daily News states that between
two and three o'clock this morning
the steamers J W Gofi and Moun
tain Girl collided at Split Rock,
two miles from Aurora, and that
the latter vessel sunk, carrying
diAvn with her seven men and be
tween thirty and forty horses.
The Mountain Girl was leased by
a portion of John Robinson’s show,
which was travelling as a cheap
circus and variety concern. A per
formance was given at Lawrence
burg last night, and the company
was on the way to Rising Sun at
the time the disaster took place.
With the exception of a young man
named Harreld, of Lawrenceburg,
who was connected with the show,
the drowned men were all deck
hands.
CHLOROFORMED.
Bleeping Car Balded by Bobbers—A Pas
senger Dies from the Effects of the Drug.
Cleveland, O., October 30.—
On Monday night a Wagner sleep
er on the Bee Line was raided by
robbers, somewhere west of Indi
anapolis, $760 being s'olen from the
passengers, one of whom was Al
derman Johnston, of this city.
Among the other victims was
Louis Schoneberger who was bring
ing home hia invalid brother-in-
law,John Migler, from San Anto
nio, Texas.
Schoneberger lost $50. He says
the victims were chloroformed and
rolls' of tissue paper substituted for
the bills abstracted. Migler, the
invalid passenger, when removed
irom the train at Cleveland, was
still much stupefied by the dtug.
and last night died from its effects.
His death has caused the institution
ol more vigorous measures for the
apprehension ot the thieves, who
will be held for murder if caught.

The morning of the third day of
the lair did not look so bright a* the
managers wanted it. The clouds
looked dark and threatening, and it
was thought that the inclemency of
the weather would keep a great
many away. About S o'clock the
B.- W. representative took the dirt
road for the grounds, and found the
streets full of vehicles and pedes
trians going out to spend the day.
There had been a little scare on ac
count of the diamond tobbery, but
finding out that two of the pick
pockets had been safely housed
with John Wier and the diamond
thief gone to other fields, they soon
felt easy. Pools hail been sold at
the Commercial hotel the night be
fore on the big trotting race, and
tic- every one invested what money
•liev could spare. The horse men
have .lice camps fitted up on the
ground, ami were very busy rub-
liin- up iff-ir horses tor the races
in the evening. Messrs, Bland and
Alexander have a nice place, and
with their numerous trainers and
jockies are enjoying the occasion.
Church Anderson, one of the best
race horse men in Georgia, with a
party u f gentlemen, are in good
quarters on the grounds, and are
having a nice time. Mr. Anderson
has a bright little son with him,
who is a chip of the old block, and
watches his father’s horses very
closely.
The second day had been very
good for the association, and their
receipts were immense, and if it
will only clear off the stockholders
will realize a handsome dividend.
In conversation with several
prominent gentlemen, who are vis
iting the fair Irom different'parts of
the state, they say for Athens to
make a bold stand for the state fair
next year. The building will be
enlarged and everything done to
secure the state fair next year.
About 11 o’clock the rain com
menced to tall heavily, and it was
thought that this would keepagoud
many away, but it did not interfere
with those who had carriages, and
a steady stream of vehicles kept
pouring into the grounds and de
positing their loads of human freight.
THE jehseys
The display of lerseys was ex
ceedingly fine. All the herds in
Athens and Northeast Georgia
were represented. They were all in
fine condition, and seemed to appre
ciate the situation, as they stood in
their stalls with their horns nicely
sand papered anti oiled.
Hunnicutt & Yancey took every
premium except one, although it
was hotly contested.
The premium for the best Jersey
cow between one and two yekrs
old was given to Lucy, of Holly-
dale, entered by Hunnicutt & Yan
cey.
Best Jersey bull, Rubana Rioter,
11.444. tuu ^ the premium. Enter
ed by Hunnicutt & Yancey.
Alice Jones, 8.225, entered by
Hunnicutt & Yancey, took the pre
mium for the best Jersey cow.
'1 he premium for the best head of
Jerseys, bull and five cows, headed
bv Rubana Rioter and entered by
Hunnicutt & Yancey.
The premium for the best Jersey,
heifer was captured by A. H. Hodg
son.
The best sweepstakes bull, of any
age, was given to Rubana Rioter,
entered by Hunnicutt & Yancey.
The premium for the best sweep
stakes cow was taken by Alice
Jones, of the Hunnicutt & Yancey
farm.
All the entries were fine. Dr.
Lyndon had several Jersey cows
that cost a mint of money.
' THE MERCHANT'S DISPLAY.
The display made by the mer
chants of Athens, is by lar the best
display ever made in Georgia on
short notice. It attracts the atten
tion of everybody.
As the visitors enter the Main
Hall, the first display that attracts
them is the fine buggies made by
Klein & Martin, with some splen
did sets of harness made by F. S.
Patat. The work that these gentle
men have on rxhitiition, is all made
in Athens, and will reflect credit on
anv city in the United States.
The Talmadge Bros, come next
with a display ol their splendid
line ot groceries.
Edge & Dorsey, the furniture
kings of Northeast Georgia, and
who claim to lead the van in the
furniture business, are situated on
the light as you enter the hall, next
to Talmadge Bros. In the center ot
hall is the display made by Cohen’s
Paris store. It is one ei the most
handsome exhibits in the hall
Max Joseph, of the gilt edge
store, comes next on the side of the
hall, and is a magnificent exhibit.
The shoe display, made by Bald
win & Firming, is simply grand
Words cannot express this fine dis
play. Here can be -esn shoes of
the finest make, beautifully arranged
in long show cases. Baldwin &
Fleming are one of the most ener
getic firms in our city, and the visi
tors’ all pay especial attention to
their exhibit.
Nicholson, Phinizy & Co. deserve
more than a passing notice, for
their beautifully arranged exhibit of
groceries.
W. McDowell & Son are well
represented in this department
Hot tea and coffee made out
of the famous Iie-No tea and Au
rora coffee, is served by one of their
clerks. McDowell’s display is well
gotten up.
T. C. Hampton, the live grocery
man of our city, has a splendid pyr
amid in the. centre of the hall made
of canned goods.
Childs, Nickerson & Co. have a
very large display of their hardware.
Mr. Jackson, one of the firm, is in
charge of this display, and takes
pleasure iu showing to the visitors
the different kinds of goods they
keep on hand.
The Main Hall not being large
enough tor the merchants to make
their display, a large number oi
them were made in the Floral Hall
Here we find G. Hauser, the ci
gar manufacturer, with all kinds o 1
tobacco and.cigara on exhibition.
One of the prettiest displays on
the grounds was made by .E. W
Burke in Floral Hall. This display
embraced everything In books, sta
tionery and fancy goods. Judging
by the samples on exhibition, this
house will show a magnificent
stock of holidav goods this winter.
Among other things exhibited were.
Christinas cards for '85, including
I're prize cards of L. Prang & Co.
Besides this general display, there
were a great many fine picture
iraraes made by this house. These
were throughout the art display.
Prof. Hagan exhibited three fine
crayon portraits, which were pro
nounced oerlect by all who saw
them. Prof. H. was barred from
competing for special premium, on
the ground that he was a profes
sional artist.
The Domestic Sewing Machine
Company has a magnificent display
in charge of Mr. Stiff. This com
pany only had one day’s notice to
get up their display, which is indeed
hoe. Mr. Stiff is a fine performer
on the sewing macLine and never
does work with a pattern. He is a
very affable gentleman and takes
pleasure in showing everything in
nis department
Outside ot the exhibit hall is the
old reliable P. Benson, the wagon,
buggy and carriage manufacturer.
He has a large number of the fa
mous Benson wagons on exhibition,
and also a large lot of material that
the buggies and wagons are made
of. Mr. Benson has several wag
ons without any paint on them, so
that the visitors cat, see what kind
of material they are made ot.
It is impossible to get all the dis
plays made by the merchants, and
if we have slighted any of them in
not noticing their displays, it is not
intentional.
NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE COM
PANY-.
This company occupied quite a
large space in the Main bulding, and
made an elaborate and handsome
display of all kinds chinell, applique,
aiiasere and an exquisite variety of
fancy and embroidery work execu
ted upon this most excellent ma
chine. The exhibit was arranged
with rare taste, and the entire dis
play reflected credit upon the com
pany. The New Home department
was under the management of Mr.
J. S. Jarvis, assisted by Miss Wa
ters, of Atlanta. Mr. Jarvis took
special pains in explaining to the
reporter the merits of the “New
Home,” ami we were charmed with
the ease and rapidity with which
many handsome and difficult pat
terns were made. The chief fea
ture# of this machine are its easy
motion, simplicity of construction,
and meets the wants of every house
hold, because of its superior excel
lence to do all kinds of family as
well as fancy work. The New
Heme is already in the front rank,
and its large and growing popular
ity attests the fact that it is a speciil
favorite wherever used.
LADIES DEPARTMENT.
Athens is aglow with life and re
joicing. Indeed there is cause for
the people to exalt—a right to be
proud, as all who have witnessed
the tastefully arranged display on
the lair grounds must acknowledge.
The charming variety of nature and
art is such that one may go the
rounds and begin again without
feeling the faintest suspicion ot fa-
tigue.
To the Noitherner who visits the
South, for the first time, there can
be lound sights ot gigantic wonder
and of infinite pleasure to investi
gate. And to every one, the pret
ty collection of needle work, paint
ing and general industry must have
proven a source *f delightlul inter
est. A prize had been offered by
Mrs of the Lucy Cobb In
stitute, to the lady who should
design and work the prettiest
block for a crazy quilt. And the
ambition as well as industry ot the
ladies ot Athens arel proven by the
fact that Mrs exhibits in

the art and fancy-work department
a magnificent quilt; the blocks of
which seem almost equally deserv
ing of the prize. The many yards
of exquisite hand made lace that is
displayed speaks well oi some gent e
ladies’ quiet patience. The flowe •
plucked from the gardens of Athens
spread a delicious perfume through
the pretty Art Hall, and added much
to the gaiety of the surroundings.
Among the paintings were some
original studies—the labor of ladies.
The sewing machines were not
behind in productions of their own.
Many evenly finished pieces of
work were presented to the public
tor inspection.
Among other object! of interest
was an exhibition of the finest but
ter on record.
Groceries were tastefully display
ed, and the typical cotton basket,
with its modern improvement, was
new and interesting to many visi
tors. Very fine dry goods and
millinery assisted largely in the
completeness of the whole, and the
zeal and vivacity of all concerned,
vyithin the hall and upon the
grounds, proved how heartily the
people of Athens deserved the suc
cess with which they have met.
THE RACES.
Owing to the wet weathu-and
the track being so heavy, the tr#>.
ting race, 2:45 class, was postponed
until to-day, when the 2:45 race
will be trotted; also, the free for all
trutting race. The horses entered
for the postponed race of yesterday
are, Echo, entered by Mr. Bland, of
Nashville, Miss Caulv, entered by
John McIntosh, D. J., entered by
Mr. VV. S. Holman, Bob, entered
by VV. P. Price, of Oconee, and
Tom Bowling, entered by Jim Price.
This will be one of the best trots ol
the whole week, as all the horses
have splendid records and will do
their best to come in first
There was yesterday a running
race, mile dash. Boulevard was
entered by Joe Bland, and Planter
by Mr. Alexander. This race was
a very good one. Planter won by
a neck in the slow time of 2:20.
There was a special purse of $25
given to get up a trotting race for
the amusement of the crowd. Pink
Price brought Old Ben, Jim Price
Maggie May, and R. E. Branch
with Marv Branch. The race was
won by Old Ben.
The managers have concluded to
continue the fair through Saturday,
as it will be impossible to carry out
the programme, on account of the
bad weather.
To-morrow we will devote our
attention to every department that
has not been written up.
Yesterday the North-East Geor
gia Fair Association closed its first
annual exhibition. There was a
small crowd of sight seen on the
grounds, but the principal attraction,
the free-for-all trotting race had
been declared off by the Associa
tion, and this fact becoming known
most of the visitors stayed at home.
Friday night it rained very heavy
and the managers knowing that it
was impossible to trot the horses
their best, concluded that it was
proper for the race to be drawn. It
worked a great hardship to the pool
sellers, as they had to give back the
money on the pools and lost their
commissions. There was about six
hundred dollars invested in the pool
box Friday night and nearly every
horse entered was sold as first
choir e.
Miss Cauley had lost her friends,
as it was clear that she wasthe fast
est horse but too light to go through
the mud.
Sanford Keith, entered by W. S.
Holman, was the main favorite and
his friends backed him for a large
amount.
The fair has been a success des
pite the bad weather, which kept
hundreds away. It is probable that
the Association will have some run
ning and trotting races during the
Christmas holidays. It has been it
gala week for Athens. The fair
was well managed and everybody
went home well pleased.
Mr. Bland,' the Nashville horse
man, made over six hundred dollars
on his race horses at the fair. Mr.
Bland will be back next year with a
finelo Tf racers and trotters.
The Fair Association should feel
greatly encouraged, when it is con
sidered that the main building was
not completed unit Monday at noon,
and all the exhibits arranged in the
space of a few hours. It reflects
great credit upon the energy and
enterprise of our merchants.
The merchants of Athens are
greatly indebted to the ladies for the
assistance rendered in arranging
many of the displays.
The directors of the association
will, in all probability, connect the
telephone exchange with the
grounds next year. This would be
quite a benefit and conven
ience to the public.
Surely no fault can be found with
tbe citizens of Athens in not pa’.ro
nizing the fair. Although Friday
was an exceedingly wet and un
pleasant day, the grand stand was
crowded in the afternoon.
Our fair was pronounced by many
Macon men to be superior to the
State fair.
We hope by next year to have
our street cars in operation, or a
good line of hacks running to the
fair grounds. Such an arrangement
would greatly increase the crowd
and prove profitable.
The New Home captured the first
prize for the best family sewiug
machine.
Athens has never before been
visited with such a set of sharpers
as have encamped with us during
the week. Many or the boys in
dulged in their little 'games, but
found themselves in the end poorer
if not wiser men. Many of the boys
have ten ceift walking canes that
cost them five dollars.
McDowell & Son gave away near
ly a thousand cups of their own
roasted coffee.
The Price boys ot Oconee, were
in their glory at the fair. You can’t
have a fair without the Price boys.
They are live young men and always
help everything that they go into.
Pink Price, with old Bob, has taken
a large number of premiums. Old
Bob can trot all day and late in the
night We welcome the Prices.

Tbs President, Directors and Visitors.
To President Yancey and the di
rectors of the fair association, the
city of Athens is indebted for a
week ot pleasure and enjoyment
President Yancey, with his eagle
eye, was watching everything that
was going on, and did his best to
make the fair an enjoyable occa
sion. He should be made President
for life. Mr. W. S. Holman, the
