Preparation, For the Felr in November
Merchants end Others Farneetly He-
tjucftted to Help
Tito military fair to be held by the
Americas Light Infantry will commence
on Tuesday, November 24, and continuo
during that week.
The company ia exerting every effort
to make tho institution a success, and
with help from the merchants and
friends of the company this is assured.
The financial condition of the organ
ization is not such as will supply the
improvements absolutely necessary, so
this method is taken whereby the
amount In the treasury may be suffl
cieutly increased to accomplish the de
sired results. The monetary proceeds
from the fair will be used towards fur
nishing and fitting the armory in a
proper manner. This need is a pressing
one and to all the friends of the com
pany the members urgently appeal lot
help in this undertaking. A little from
each one wlll,insure success.
To the merchants and the ladies in
particular is this appeal made for upon
them depends the success or failure of
the enterpiise. Without the aid of the
latter the desired consummation would
be Impossible, but with their hearty co
operation and valuable assistance there
la no fear for the result
Pamphlets have been Issued and are
now being circulated stating tbe object
and programme of the institution.
There will bo a very important meet
ing of the company at its armory to-
night,*at which every member is earn
estly requested to be present, as besides
a competitive drill, urgent business con
cernlng the Fair will come up. Espe
cially are the members of the committee

The S. ; A. A M. will soon run trains
into the city and with It will come tbe
forming of bnalneai relations with a sec
tion of country heretofore not reached
by rail. The trade of that section will
come to Montgomery and be cordially
welcomed.—Montgomery Advertiser.
From the above It would seem that
Montgomery is banking npon hopes that
will never be realized. The “forming of
business relations’* will no doubt ocour,
but it will take place somewhere In the
neighborhood of ninety miles east of
Alabama’a capital city, and it is a pity
that she has bagged to her breast the de
lusive Idea that “tbe section of country
heretofore not reached by rail” will do
ita business with her, for therein lies
bitter disappointment for Montgomery.
The aforesaid section of country is ab
solutely certain to come eustward to es
tablish its business relations and Ameri
cas is tho point at which they will be
established. Sorry for Montgomery, but
foots are facts.
