GOING TO NEW ORLEANS.
In connection with tbe World’s
Fair at New Orleans, a practical
question which baa been,doubileas,
much considered by persons who
contemplate a visit, la, what it will
cost a visitor? For the informa
tion of such persona we print tbe
following: ’
Tbe fare for the round trip item
Americas is, for a ticket limited to
fifteen days, $14.20. When one ar>
rives in New Orleans, furnished
rooms oari be had at from 75 cents
to $1 50 a day, to from $15 to $40
per month; board and lodging al
$1.50 to $3.00 per day, and $50 to
$75 a month. Tbe best hotel* will
not advance their rates, which are,
at tbe St. Charles, $4 a day; at the
Hotel Royal, European plan, rooms
$1 to $8 and $10 a day. Other ho
tels in tbe olty, as also those now
in course of erection in vicinity of
the expoaition grounds, will charge
from $2 to $3 per day.
The names and address of per.
sons willing to lodge or board vis
itors, or both, have been obtained,
and all visitors can ascertain, with
out delay whcie they can find tem
porary homes at the Bureau of In
formation and Accommodation,
No. 74 Baronne street, where pro
tection will be found from ex
cessive charges, and to which we
advise all stranger,* to go. In
order to save visitors from incon
venience, this Bureau baa had ten
8eolfonal maps of the city prepared
of one hundred leet to tbe inch,
which show not only tbe streets,
etc., but indicate by numbers the
residences recorded aa open for
the reception of visitors. Each
bouse will report what rooms it
has at disposal, so that strangers
can find tbe way to tbe rooms they
may select. On arrival at New
Orleans, or just betore arrival, ths
railroads and other routes will put
into the visitor’s hand a card tell
ing where the Bureau is located,
and there be will learn all about
rooms and board without charge.
The arrangements are very com
plete, and visitors will profit by
paying heed to tbe suggestions of
ths Bureau)

“Widow Bedafil” Last Night.
If ever there was a delighted
audience in Springer Operd House,
it was tbe on* which greeted Wid
ow Bedott Company last night.
The be use was filled, and we do
not think there was a single person
who witnessed tho performance
who do not think 'that it “was
good to bs there.” The Widow Be
dott of Mr. CbaVles Bishop was
simply excellent and could not
have been better. Every move
ment of tbe man’s lace provoked
laughter, and almost every sen
tence be uttered contained a store
of humor. Of tho support there
was but one verdict—it was tine.
Every member of tbe company
rendered his or her part iu a fault
less manner. The entertainment
is a good one and was highly ap
preciated by the audience last
night. We risk nothing in saying
that the troupe will always be
greeted by a full bouse wliea it
visits Columbus in tbe future—

Clay’s McCuller Oats.
In this issue will bo found an
advertisement for Clay’s McCuller
oats. Mr. Clay has taken great
pains in raising these oats for seed
oats, and as be is a reliable farmer,
what he saye amounts to some
thing. He has placed bis oats on
sale at Schumpert & Roney’s, G.
W. Glover’s, and Harris & James’
and has reduced the price to $1.25.
He guarantees them to be rust
proof. Tbey can bo planted in
January and out early in the spring,
as has been tested time and again.
If you are in need of seed oats, try
those that you know aro good
rather than risk your crop on
worthless seed. Sec bis advertise
ment.
