THE FAIR CL08KB.
A ItriLlftiit Success end Splendid
ceipts.
The A. I.. I. has closed!
And it is voted a signal success!
The (air closed its portals last night
after an eight days’successful run. An
auction was the liveliest feature of the
programme, and the articles that passed
under tho hammer brought very fsir
prices.
The bsie of cotton was raffled off and
Hr. Lockett threw the highest dice.
The contest for the ring to be awarded
to the prettiest girl wss very ex
citing, and Interest was sustained
to the very end. The con
test was between several of Americus'
loveliest social flowers and their friends
were very enthusiastic in tbeir behalf.
Tiie count of the ballots was very
tedious and requited a long time.
It aoon became evident that the ma
jority of ballots bore the name of Hiss
Kola Lockett, and she was awarded the
ring. Hits Lockett is a very pretty
young lady and claims many friends and
admirers.
The total raoeipta of the fair approx!,
mates $£00, which will he devoted to
tho purchase of handsome new uniforms,
wbteh will present an attractive appear-
anoo when the gallant soldier boys rally
at the World's Fair In 1803.
A Card,
The ilrst intimation that I had that
Messrs. Hiller, liell and Watts, who are
oandidatos for aldermen, were candi
dates in the interest of any particular
lawyer as city attorney, was obtalnad
from Mr. L. J. Blalock, who has been
mentioned for the office of alderman in
connection with myself.
I had no other information on the sub
ject, nor do I know whero be obtained
his information.

In connection with the card of Capt.
J. L. Adderton, I wish to say that my
name is annonnoed without my solicita
tion. if chosen, I will endeavor to do
my duty. Any intimation that I have
made any pledge to anyono, or been
asked to do so, is unqnaUiledly false.

A Card frm Mr. A. C. Boll.
Any statement made in connection
with my aldermanlo race that any one
has approached me directly or indi
rectly as to any offloe vfithln the gift of
the council Is absolutely and unquali
fiedly untrue and unfounded,
A. C. Bki.u
The fluctuation of opinion makes
result more problematical and gives
keener edge to the curiosity of the lad
ing public.
. The race has substantially narrowed
down to Crisp and Mills, with odds
favor of Crisp, who has steadily gained
ground In the last few days.
Crisp's masterly leadership of
Democratic forces lb off-setting Reed's
iniquitous gag rules recommended him
to the gratitude of all advocates of free
speech and action. Ex-Congressman
Barnes, whose familiarity with the true
Inwardness of the situation is universally
conceded, thus tersely tarns up
whole matter:
Wednesday draw) near and with
comes sn event that is qf the greatest
possible interest to Amerious and her
citizens. The daily papers are read with
anxious eagerness by ail of our citisens
in search of every new phase the Speak
ership contest assumes.
“Mr. Crisp Is undoubtedly the man
for the place,’’ says Mr. Barnes,
possesses all the qualifications for the
office. He Is one of the most even tem
pered men I ever saw, and never loses
bis head in the hottest debates. He has
his presence of mind always about him
and Is always watchful of every oppor
tunity. He is of a judicial frame
mind, and Is consequently well fitted
the duties of speaker. He was univer
sally recognized during the last session
leader worthy of confidence
Against Mr. Mills I have nothing to say
in fset, could say nothing, but Mr. Crisp
is in my judgment the man to preside
over the next congress.”
Amencus is In suspense, and awaits
the result with intense anxiety. It
believed that Crisp w'll marshal bis
forces so effectively, and with bla usual
parliamentary prowess, that all opposi-
tion wlU melt from before him.
We, In advanee, doff our hat to Cbas.
F. Crisp, the next Speaker of the House
of Representatives.

Therefore, it behooves every
one troubled in any way with
defective vision to nave it cor
rected. Weak eyes, headache
after reading, inflamed lids, or

vision. To anyone sufferin
with cross eyes, near sightec
ness or any symptom of defec
tive vision, we invite them to
come in and have their eyes
examined., We charge noth

It gives some women a deep and al
most oppressive sense of responsibility
to be intrusted with the selection of a
pair of gloves or a yard of ribbon for
another woman. “It isn't for myself,”
said an anxious looking customer at the
ribbon counter of a large dry goods
store one afternoon when the clerks
were busiest. “If it wss for myself 1
should know exactly what I wanted and
wouldn't waste any time over it
But”
“Did you say dark or light green rib-
Don?" asked the clerk.
“She said dark, and yet Hot too dark,
•u I don't exactly know what to get. It
1 were going to nse it myself”—
"How would this duT
“Well, 1 hardly know. It seems a
trifle light to me, and yet maybe it
wnnldu’t be. I don't know jnstwlut
it’s to he used for, which makes the mat
ter all the more perplexing.”
"How wide did yon want it?"
"She said from twosnd a half to three
Inches, which is of conrae rather indefi
nite It's for a friend of mine living in
M —, and she simply wrote for a yard
of dark giron ribbon, from two and a
half to three inches wide, at from thirty
to forty cents a yard, and I am puzzled
to know just what to get. If It were for
myself-—
'Vou didn't want satin riblmnr
'She didn't say, and 1 don't know
whether to get satin nr grosgrain or wa
tered ribbon, or ribbon with n plain,
corded oi pl’cot edge, or what. Every
thing is so indefinite about it. If I knew
what she wanted it for, or had some lit
tle hint In p. by, or if it were for myself
-but as ft is. I'm entirely in the darit."
"I think, pn the whole, Til better
write and get more definite information
before selecting anything. Yes, that's
what I’ll do, and then i’ll not make any
mistake.”— Vonth's Companion.

AN ECHO OF
W Et the self appointed, yet, sincere and careful guardians
of the people’s household expenses, do hereby proclaim
the appropriateness of the Thanksgiving season, and
Whereas, While the immutable laws of Supply & De
mand have reduced the marketable value of our most staple
productions; still, we have been enabled to reduce the prices
on the most staple articles of consumption, and so with the
wail of cotton at yc. (you hear the echo.) Tumblers, 3c. each
—surely for every bitter there is a sweet,-and
Whereas, While the Protectionists of the classes have
increased the duty ou tin over 120 per cent., we the Protectors
of the masses, have lowbred the tariff you have been used to
on tin, and, while ye Custom House officials proclaim duty
increased $2.20 on tin for (comes the echo) “Sweeping reduc
tions on tinware at the Peoples’ Artesian Corner,” and
Whereas, While with these grey and sombre mornings
comes the winters winds, the biting frosts and shivering
shakes, ’till one’s frozen mind almost congeals, and icy
thoughts displace warm regards; still then there is provided
for you all a line of stoves and heaters, whose brightness and
warmth will dispel the dreariest chills of existence and per
vade your being with a warm thankfulness as will echo back
compliments of the season to Artesian Comer Stores, and
Whereas, We have proclaimed the appropriateness of
the season to all, we commend it to quiet thought and
consideration. Be ye thankful for the favors you receive, and
if you are wrong-in doing this; then, we are with you too.
