age in the county, 19 73 of whom are
whites and 3553 colored. Of the
whites 1027 are males and 946 fe
males, while 1798 of the blacks are

The interesting program prepared
for the 4th of July celebration in
Columbus, under tiie auspices of the
Chattahoochee Valley Exposition
Company, insures an immense at¬
tendance. Harris county always
ha^a full representation in Columbus
on the Fourth, but next Wednesday
her delegatian will tax to their utmost
the carrying capacity of both the
Columbus & Rome and the Georgia
Midland. Both these roads give ex¬
cursions on that day and the very
j low fares and the extraordinary at
tractions will induce all to go who
can. Our opinion is that the at ten
dance will give an idea of what that
at the Exposition is to be, and it;
immensity will be an eye opener to
Columbus.
