Our military boys expect to at tend the Griffin May Carnival to be held on the 20th to the 24th inst. We predict for them success in the drill.

In addition to the military*fea ture there will be contests by all the volunteer firemen of North Geargia and from several towns in Alabama for prizes aggregating $675.00. This magnificent lot of Uncle Sam’s cash has attracted much attention from the firemen, and there will be some twelve or fourteen departments competing. In order to amuse her visitors between times Griffin has provid ed the Fifth Regiment Band to furnish free open-air concerts and has also provided for each day a balloon ascension with the great parachute leap, and the fellow, who at Charleston has attracted so much attention, by his daring leap from a ladder 60 feet in height to a basin of water only four feet deep. These varied attractions, with the great aggregation of tent shows usual to such occasions, will make Griflin, the Mecca of all who de sire a frolic during the next week. Many of our people are going and we predict for all a jolly good time. The railroads have granted half fare rates for this occasion, good all the week.
