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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
