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) Stork for Bala or Trad., Goo.

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— Columbus (Ga.) Times, Nov. 10. 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. ANNOUNCEMENTS- KOMtKU COUNTY. - FOR BAILIFF.
