THE BABY SHOW THE DRAWING CARD
OF THE EVENING.

Board on All gtdee-Th* Winner*..
A great snccessl
So everybody said I
The crowning feature of the fairl
Standing apace was scarcely, available
yesterday afternoon on the occasion of
the baby show. Elbow room waa out of
the question la the jam, and many of
those gathered to see the baby show
were forced to forego tho pleasure.
It seemed that Americas had had a
visitation of XillUput land, judging from
the obubby darlings who were entered to
compete for the prizes to be awarded to
the prettiest
After a survey of the field the boldest
heart would have faltered before decid
ing on the respective'oo net!ness of the
little toddlers.
It was like differentiating -between
tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum, or the
proverbial two peas.
Here were the entries between the
ages of two months and eight months
Annie Margaret Miller, aged 2 months
Sam Felder, aged 5 months; Annie
Dodge Glenn, aged 4 months; Maud
Altman, aged 6 months.
From eight months to eighteen
months the entries were: Mattie Lou
Dodson, aged 15 months; Elbert Bivins,
aged 10 months; Kate Lee' Worsham,
aged 0 months; Willie Williford, aged
16 months; Philip Edward Childs, aged
8 months.
The judges were Messrs. J. W. Fur-
low, J. A. Davenport and Eugene An
derson.
The names of the babies were sup
pressed and numbers were used.
After puzzling enough to have solved
the knottiest problem of modern civil!
zation the three judges awarded the two
prizes to Annie Margaret Miller In the
first division, which was a gold dress but
ton set.
The little one was held up by Mrs.Bas-
com Myrtck to receive the prize and
clutched the jewelry,true to'the feminine
instincts, tightly in its chubby firsts.
In the seoond division the judges were
nonplussed by the respective claims of
little Mattie Lewis Dodson and Phillip
Edward Childs, and as a solution of the
question decided to draw straws. Ho. 8
or Mattie Lewis Dodson was the lucky
one, but through a mistake in the num
ber Phillip Edward Childs received the
gift, a fine silver oup. In the consequent
confusion the judges doclded to award a
prize to both, although Ho. 8, or Mattie
Lewis Dodson, drew it primarily.
The twelve labors of old Hercules could
not begin to compare with the enormous
responsibilities assumed by the judges
in the baby show. They deserve a niche
in the temple of fame alongside of those
who, for their country, "bled and died."
A lively sale was kept up in the booths
and the receipts are large.
From six to nine a sumptuous repast
was served, and fair bands dispensed de
lectable dainties and delloaotes.
The doll show, under the ausploes of
Miss Sarah Cobb, whose efforts to make
the fair a success merit unmeasured
praise, was sn interesting feature ef the
programme. Those exhibiting dolls
and costumes by their own skill were
Misses Vernon Williford, Laura Burt,
Jewel Mlmms, Maud Matthews, Amxle
Williford and Minnie Harper. The
judge awarded the prize to Miss Maud
- Matthews, whose doll costume was a
dream of taste and beauty.
The ladles are all requested to bring
in fanoy work without delay.
Another day is gone and the A. L. L
fair soored another brilliant and signal

Owing to the stringency of money

Savannah, America* and Montgom
ery I
In fact, a* well as In name 1
Suoh Is the drift of rumors and Inci
dents, giving them the color of faot and
plausibility. Savannah's burning anx
iety to extend the Sam road Into the city
willqoon assume definite shape in the
form and substance of rail and cross
ties.
The streets of Americas were teeming
with rumors that a deal bad been effect
ed between the officials of the Sam road
and the L. and H. by whlob the latter
promises or contracts to finish the six
ty-five miles gap between Lyons and
Savannah, landing the road within the
corporate limits of the latter plaoe.
A Times-Recobder reporter taokled
one of the authorities of the Sam road,
but be neither confirmed or denied the
truth of the rumors, thereby strengthen
ing the belief that the rumors are true.
It te splendid nows for Amerioue and
means renewed growth and bounding
prosperity. It will quicken the current
in every artery of commerce and insure
success to every Industry and Invite new
enterprises, multiplying their prospects
of a thrifty business. In speaking of the
rumors a special from Savannah says:
“The newt that the Savannah, Ameri
cas & Montgomery had, or is arranging
to oombioe with the Louisville A Hash-
vllle system, oreated much talk la Sa
vannah to-day. The Louisville A Nash-
vllle has long been quietly seeking an
outlet on the Atlantic coast, and it has
been well-known that the deep water
agitators here had attracted and held
the attention of the Louisville A Hash-
ville people. At Montgomery, the Louis
ville A Hashvllle, through its own Hues,
has splendid connections, and that point
is one of the terminals of "the Savannah,
Americus A Montgomery. By building
about sixty miles of road the latter line
will reach Savannah over an Indepen
dent route, and acting in concert with
the Louisville A Hashvllle would give the
great system entrance to Savannah and
afford it one of the finest ports in
the country. The row between the
the Savannah, Amerleus A Montgomery
and the Richmond A Danville, the desire
for a port by the Loalsvllle A Hashvllle,
and the easy manner in wbleh it can be
obtained through an arrangement be
tween these roads, gives color to the
news of a probable combination. If the
combination 1* made and the Savannah,
Americus A Montgomery builds Into
Savannah, It will be able not only to
offer the shortest route to Montgomery,
but also a direct route to many promi
nent Southern and Western points, giv
ing Savannah the advantage of strong
competition to many places. This will
relieve the otty to a great extent of Its
dependence upon the present systems
entering here, and cannot fail to be ben-
eflelal in a business way. Businessmen
are well pleased with the prospects that
the reports Indicate."
