THE FAIR.
While in Augusta a f w days ago,

bibition at our coming Fair. Savannah,
too, will be well represented, fh the
name of the Association we bid oil wcl
come: Work on the grounds is being
pi eased, and the Fair officers say they
will be fully ready at the appointed
time, the 6th of December. The follow
ing liberal donations have been made
’ to the Fair Associa ion by the gent e-
men named, for which the Association
feels duly thankful: W. W. Gordon,
Savannah, $100; Georgia Chemical
Works, Augusta. $50. 'I he following
let ter expY.n-itself, and reflects much
oredit upon the donors :
Savannah, Ga., Oct. 30, 1882.
Maj W. A. Wilkins, Way e--
boro, Ga.—Dear Sir:—Yours of the

THE ACADEMY.
The action of the Commissioner^ in
electing Rev. C C. Spence as Principal
of the ^0avnt sboio Academy meets the
universal approval of our people. Our
city possesses an ample number of chil
dren to support the academy ; but with
competent teachers, such ns are now
to be placed in chorge, and the adop
tion of a progressive sys era of education,
the academy would at once control
patronage sufficient from the county
surrounding and adjoining counties to
render Waynesboro one of the most
important educational points in the
State. A nd right here we must be al
lowed to say, that it is the duty of ev
ery parent and guardian concentrate
their patronage upon the aoadeiny, so
it may be enabled instantly to reach
the highest point of usefulness. Mr
Spence comes to us endorsed for char
acter and capacity as an educator by
the following distinguished gentlemen,
whioh puts the grade of the school
which we now have in prospect beyond
a noradventure: Gov. Colquitt, Dr.
Hay good, Compt. Gen. Wright, Prof.
Stone, Prof. Calloway, Dr. Means,
Judge llutohins and Hon. John F.
Henderson. Besides the above strong
endorsois of Mr. 8pence, we are permit
ted to make publio the following letter
from Rev. Dr. G. F. Pierce, whioh
alone would have been sufficient:
Monroe, Ga., Oct. 30, 1882.
Maj. W. A. Wilkins—Dear Sir:
My friend, Rev. Mr. Spence, I learn,
applies for the sohool in Waynesboro.
1 beg to endorse bioa as a fit man, and
* heartily recommend him to you. You
will be pleased with him as a man, as a
teiioher —as a preacher. I hope you
wi 1 engage him, for I believe he will
• l»o an acquisition to the community and
the churoh. Youre truly,
G. F. Pierce.
—Go t*' Hsll « Restaurant where
you can find the best 5 cent* cigar
in town.
—A horse belonging to Dr. Steiner
was driven in town yesterday, (Friday]
by a colored man, f om the Doctor s
plantation, and just, between Evans it
Thomas’ and W. McCatherns scores, he
stopped, threw up his head, gazed at
the engne at wo>k on the artesian well,
feil to the ground and was dead in a
few minutes. The question is what
killed him 1
— We take the followin' from a
Washington dispatch to the Atlanta
Herald of he2dinst: “Thost S. B’anoh-
ard has been commissioned postmaster
at Waynesboro.” This announcement
took our ent : re community by a sunrise,
which has not been lessened by the
statement of Mr. Grubbs, the present,
incumbent, that he has not resigned
and knows nothing about it.
—We call attention to Dr. IJol-
leyman’s new advertisement in to day's
issue. I)r H'dlevman has a fuil line
of drugs aud medicines for the s : ck. and
for all diseases of this region he has the
approved remedy. To the ladies be
offers fine cologne, the most universally
used perfume of the world. He also
keeps on hand fine brands of oitrarsand
tobacco. You a! I know Dr. Holleynmn.
and know that when he advertises he
means what he says; so read his adver
tisement and call on him for what you
need.
—In auother column to-day will be
found the advertisemeni of the old and
long established furniture house of E
G. Rogers, 549 Broad s reet. Mr
Rogers invites our readers to call on
him when they go to Augusta to buy
furniture, and we can freely recommend
Mr. R as a man at whose hands they
will receive fair, horn st dealing. Mr.
Rogers also keeps on hand a full line
coffins, oasket*, etc., and we know of
no place where you Can better suit
yourself. Then remember the place,
and give him a tiial.
—-Dr. Polhill popped in on us a day or
two ago, ami left a renewal of his stiver*
tison.ent, which will be found in the
usual place. And now, gentle reader,
we advise you not to read that adver
tisement, &nd ( caution you now hat be
holds out every inducement to cause
you to opend your money. But, if you
will read his advertisement, we know
of no oleverer gentleman or fairer deal-
er with whom you can trade, if you
are siok, he has the menicine to cure
you ; if you love fine perfumes, he has
them ; if your teeth are staiued, he has
that whioh will whiten them; if your
skin is tanned or frecked, his “bloom
of youth” will mako it white and clear.
Now you may read that advertisement.
— We dropped into Mr. P. B. Hall’s
restaurant last Saturday night, and
were requested to take a seat. Not
knowing what it all meant, we seated
ourself to await future developments.
A few minutes elapset}, when a couple
of oyster stews, fixed up in Jim’s best
style, were placed on the table before
us and we and our business manager
invited to test their qualities. Of
course, we did ; and as each sucoooding
oyster took its way * l to that bourne
from whence no oyster return*,” it left
a more lingering sens') of luxury upon
the palate than the last. The meal
over, we went into oouuuittee of the
whole, and unanimously resolved that
Hall fixed up the best oysters aud kept
the nicest restuurant ever established in
W aynesboro.
