Ct?* (Ssjjcjgm ilggklg Sfelgga-apfr sro& & Ifasimggg, OBOEGIA P&B88. THEWteamship City of Augusta, built for the Ocean Steamship Company, is the finest eTcr constructed in America. A woman was found dead in her bed in Americas on Tuesday. The Republicans of Savannah held a meeting in the'thcatre on the 26th Instant. Mb. Jesse W. Walters, of Albany, is dead. Spabta Is getting nersen* ready to cel ebrate wedding festivities on Tuesday next. A talented young doctor is said to be the victim. A party of hunters in the Ogeechee swamp killed 265 squirrels one day last week. Sumter Republican: On Monday last, Mr. J. D. Glover sent his little son, Sterl ing, aged twelve or fourteen years, to town, with a wagon containing three bales of cotton, while he followed in a bu"try. Just as the wagon had stopped in front of Toole & McGarrah’s ware house, and as the little boy had stepped on the wheel to descend from his seat on the cotton, the mules jumped around, turning the wheel and throwing him on the ground. One wheel passed over his ankle, bruising and hurting it SO much that he could not use it. Dr. Fort exam ined the leg and reported that there was no bone broken. The little sufferer was taken home in the evening, but was una ble to walk or use bis foot. Chronicle end Constitutionalist: A citizen of Greenville, who returned from Atlanta Friday night, tells a good joke on Atlanta. He states that on Friday morn ing a letter wa3'received by the Governor, accompanied by an old silver watch val ued at about three dollars, the letter pur porting to be from one of the gang of pickpockets which infested that city dur ing the fair. The writer stated, in substance, that they had met with the most encouraging success, capturing so many watches that they had no use for the one accompanying the note, and had decided to present it to the Governor as a memento of the admirable police regula tions of the Gate City by which they had been enabled to ply their avocation with out dauger of airest. The writer express ed thanks for the kind and courteous manner in which they had been received by the people of Atlanta, and desired that when tbs next fair occurred they be re ceived with the same courtesy, aud assur ing His Excellency they would be repre sented by larger numbers of their class as an acknowledgement of generous hos pitality extended them. Sumter Republican: We are inform ed by Mr. J. W. Turner, telegraph ope rator in this city, that the building used as a court-house for Worth county, was destroyed by fire on Sunday night, about one o’clock. The records were probably as the county had bought a large o»'-. ' ’ •—•■tion of the court- safe after the uomuw.. • house last vear. It is said that the cnm. nal docket was heavy and that court would have commenced on Monday last.

Goetchius has recovered from a severe attack of the prevailing ep idemic (dengue, we suppose), and is able to resume his pulpit functions. A Bio Establishment. — Evening Nevis: From three to five hundred men are employed at the Sibley Mills at dif ferent times, and an average of three hun dred and fifty are kept constantly em ployed. Savannah bonds are quoted at 84§ bid and S5§ asked. Central railroad stock is worth 104[. A magnificent advance. Pay Youb Taxes.—Tho Savannah Netcs gives this timely advice, which is equally applicable to tbis city and lati tude : . A lew weeks ago we made mention or the fact that considerably over a thousand white citizens of Chatham county were disfranchised on account of a non-payment of their taxes, and we learn that this State of affairs still exists. We desire, there fore, once moie to urge upon all such delinquents to settle their dues at once, so that they may be enabled to exercise their rights as citizens, and vote, on Tuesday next, at the presidential and congres sional election. It Is the duty of every citizen, at all times, to obey the law and pay to the county whatever tax is justly laid upon him for the general welfare, but this duty is particularly imperative at this time. The contest in this congressional district wil! be hotly waged, and the Re publicans—amply supplied with “the sinews of war”—will do their best to carry it against Hon. George R. Black, and for Mr. John T. Collins, late of Massachu setts. Every Democratic vote istherefore needed, and we call upon all Democrats in arrears with their taxes bo come forward and comply without delay with a duty re quired by law, patriotism and party fealty. lTturn3 out that the carpet-baggerRad- ical candidate Collins in the first dis trict is not a Maine man, but hails from Massachusetts. A distinction without a difference. The Health op Savannah Good. News: Some apprehensions, we under stand, are felt among the absentees about returning home on account of the broken bone fever. For the benefit, and to re lieve the fears of ail such, we would state on the authority of our physicians and druggists that the back-bone of the fever is broken, and that there are at present very few cases in the city. In fact, Savan nah is at tbis time unusually healthy, and the weekly mortuary lists hear testimony to the assertion. The b. b. f. has been and is exceedingly disagreeable to the victim, but it is not fatal, and the cool spell has nearly chased it away.

Unjust Discrimination.—Oglethorpe Echo: The laws of Georgia seem to have been framed solely in the interest of members of the bar. It is a matter al most impossible to keep them out of their fee. They can open a case that has been settled to secure pay for services rendered and collect claims in preference to any other creditor. Again, while the code forbids a grand jury to vote money to county offices, it gives that body the power to pay the solicitor general. Examine what page ycu may, and there is a clause tbat seems especially framed for the bene fit of lawyers. We think it the duty of our Legislature to look into this matter and equalize thing3. We do not see any just reason why an attorney should have rights not given other claimants. While they should be paid for their services, let them take the same chances as others. We do net intend this as an attack upon the bar of Georgia. We blame them not for having bills passed for their beneflf. It is human nature. But we do censure the .Legislature of Georgia for making such discriminating laws.

Mr. Salter at once took hold of him and tried to lead him away, but what followed shows that he did not succeed. Just here we are met by conflicting state ments again. Mr. Salter, assisted by some one else, it seems, got Mr. Tison away from the front door. The front door of the store opens on the street on the west side of the railroad, and the back opens into a cotton patch which surrounds the rear. The next that we hear of Mr. Tison after he was led away from the front door, he is pushing rails oft the fence and mak ing his way to the rear door. He evi dently thought that Callaway was still iu the store, as did also Mr. baiter and the other friends who were with him, but it seems that Callaway had passed out through the back door and was either iu the fence corner about ten or fifteen yards from the rear of the house, or just over thc fence in his yard. Iu approaching the rear door from tho point where he crossed the fence, Tison was also advancing towards where Calla way, or whoever fired the fatal shot, was evidently standing, as is shown by the range of the shot through tbe tops of the cotton stalks. It appears that Mr. Salter and another man had hold of Mr. Tison when he shot, and that one or two others were near by, Mr. Ed Floyd, one of Mr. Tison’s clerks, beiug near enough to receive a shot in his hat. One report says that it was Mr. John Haines, one of Mr. Tison’s clerks, who had hold of him with Sir. Salter, and another says that it was Mr. Tison’s §0U. fie this as It may, Mr. Tison had approached within a few feet of the back door, when a gun fired from the position already pointed out, Mr. Tison staggered back and said, “Boy9,heliaskilledme.” These were his last words. Those who had hold Of him eased him to the ground, and he was a dead man in a few minutes. The nature and locality of the fatal charge is fully described in the testimouy of witnesses printed below. It will also be seen that it is iu evidence that Mr. J. P. Callaway fired the fatal shot. The fice in tho eastern portion of the city, dropped in. On entering they saw a col ored man only, and asked him: “llavo you a notary in the office?” The colored citizen replied: “Don’t know, sir, but I will look and see.” Greatly to their amusement, be began ransacking a lot of legal blanks and forms In the office, and after a close examination looked up at the gentlemen and remarked, in a very know ing au<l disappointed tone: “Very sorry, but we are just out.” The gentlemen, ex pressing their regret, retired quickly to conceal their feelings, and stopped to “smile” a few streets below. • Atlanta Constitution: We regret to learn of the death of Captain Thomas C. Jackson, which occurred last week. Cap tain Jackson came toAtlauta from Ten nessee years before the war. In 1861, lie enlisted in the famous Gate City Guard, under the command of Major Harvey Thompson, and under that gallant officer did fine service in Virginia. He was in the terrible “Laurel Hill retreat,” when “our guard” suffered so severely, and throughout the entire war thi3 veteran re mained in the Confederate army with great credit to himself, being perhaps one of the finest skirmishers and sharpshooters on the line. And thus has passed away an honest, brave old “Johnny Reb,” who while he had his faults, wa3 in his time a gallant soldier, and all his life an honest man. Captain Jackson died at his father’s home in Versailles, Tenn. He was sud denly called home to witness his aged father’s death only a few weeks ago, and was himself stricken down. He leaves a wife, the niece of our esteemed fellow- townsmen, Major A. Leyden and Dr. N. L. Angier. Atlanta Post: About two miles east of Jonesboro lived Mr. U. J. Moore, a well-to-do farmer of about sixty years of age. He was at one time a magistrate, and was known among his neighbors by tbe soubriquet of “Jiufee,” that being al so his middle name. He wa3 a quiet and peaceable citizen, who was respected and loved by tho entire community. On yes terday Judge Moore hitched up Ills team, and, with the assistance of a negro, loaded two bales of cotton, and drove to Jones boro to sell them. He disposed of the cotton to Mr. \V. B. Stewart, and meeting the negro Betts, attempted to settle with him for some work done. The negro de manded a larger amount than Mr. Moore was willing to pay, and there were some words, and an evident feeliDg of bitter ness on the part of thc negro. He paid the negro, it is stated, a small sum, and then started home. This was about three o’clock. Driving leisurely, he had no suspicion of impending danger. But it appears that Tom Betts had murder in his heart, and shortly after Judge Moore left town, Betts started out in the same direction. It is thought that Betts fol lowed the wagon with the intent of theft, But not overtaking the wagon he shoul dered a rail maul which he found near the road on Judge Moore’s place, and went on to the house. As Betts [approached the house Judge Moore had driven into his bam yard and out of bis wagon. Betts Tho following letter explains itself: New York, October 21,1880. Mr. E. R. Richards: Dear Sir—We have your letter enclosing circular of Sept. 28,’80, relative to a fair to be held in your city on the 25th inst., in aid of the Floyd Rifles. As we have many friends in your city, we take pleasure in sending you a small token of our esteem. Hoping that all traces of the struggle, between North aud South, In which the Floyd Rifles bore so gallant a part, will soon be torever obliterated, we wish you success, aud remain, yours very truly, E.

Our peo ple aro speaking in liighpst terms of it, and it certainly deserves patronage. Last night our sanctum was invaded by two white aproned, sable hued spirits, one bearing a giant waiter of edibles, the other armed and equipped with drinka bles, all tokens of remembrance from the ladies, for which wc make our most grace ful acknowledgments. The repast was sufficiently tempting, to have charmed the fabled gods, much less a modem pencil driver, to whom such nectar is as the dew upon Mt. Hermon, refreshing, but unat tainable generally. Tramps. We issued a prose poem a few weeks since, when the swallows took their departure for warmer climes, and had something to say concerning the disappearance of tiie bullbat, but we have just struck an emi grating subject, that has no poetry in him whatever. , Wo refer to the peripa tetic tramp, now present in this city by a large majority. Ten of him slept at the barracks last night, and the balance crowded under the covering found to be most conveniently disposed. What be comes of him is a conundrum at which we can only wildly guess; ho always appears to bo bound for Florida, if one may judge of destination by direction, hut what in the world he can live on in Florida, we cannot imagine. It may be that he is Jewell’s Florida voter, whose ocean route having been discovered, contract compels to reach* the doubtful State by Novem ber 2 any way he can. Therejs a fas cination to some people about a man who has no home, friends or money, but the fascination is generally a dangerous one, It is safest to regard the tramp as a man bound to make a living somehow, and to keep the front door shut and let him makff it out of your neighbors. walked in through the gate, and when he reached the wagon thj old gentleman com menced to unhitch tbe team. Betts, with the maul in his hand, sptang at tbe old gentleman and dealt him a blow on the head. The weight of the weapon, wielded in such strong hands, crushed tbe victim to the earth as if a tree bad fallen on him. Betts then proceeded to rifle tbe pockets of the dying man, finding about $130, aud walked over to the house wlieie a colored man named Worrill lives. He appeared to be intoxicated and boasted that he bad settled with old man Moore. In a few minutes be dropped some words about having beaten the life out, etc., which alarmed Worrill, and be at once started over to Judge Moore’s bouse, Betts in tbe meantime going across tbe fields towards Jonesboro. He told Mrs. Moore what he had heard Betts say, and she, having heard the wagon driven into tho barnyard, went out to see what kept her husband from coming in to din- nrr. Seeing the wagon aud horses partly unhitched, she went closer aud found the warm body of her murdered husband. Her cries soon brought her daughter, the only other member ot the family, and the negro Worrill. While the two women were giving vent to their anguish over tbe horrible visitation of death, Worrill start ed sff to follow Betts.' Sheriff Archer com- ing along in his buggy, took Worrill in, and they together started to Jonesboro to overtake the murderer. They caught him just as be came out of the woods near the' had looking fellow, and by far more at tractive than his clothes, which had a be- fore-tbe-war look about them truly dis couraging. “I am not what I was once,” he re marked, gazing into far-away nothingness with a pair of dreamy brown eyes; “time was when I, too, drove fine horses, wore fine suits, sported jewelry and flew around tbe girls—not very good company lor a lady now, am I.” He glanced down tbe front rank of bis rags, and smiled faintly. “No they’ve shook me long since- Have you ever noticed, pard, bow quickly tbe girls shake a fellow when bis apparel—I like that word ap- parej, it bas a good old biblical sound to it—when bis apparel begins to look like applying for relief?

TERRIBLY BURNED. Mrs. K. E. Park Dangerously Injured by an Upset Lamp. Night before last an accident occurred to Mrs. R. E. Park, living on the Hill, by which she was painfully and dangerously injured. At an early hour in the evening she Upset a kerosknd lamp which stood upon a small table near at hand, and re ceived the burning contents upon her neck and shoulders. A servant girl, hearing her screams ran, in and succeeded in ex tinguishing the flames, hut not until the unfortunate lady was horribly burned about the neck. Dr. Fitzgerald was called in, and did everything in his power to al leviate her sufferings, until Dr. Dunwody, the family physician, arrived. The burns about tho neck are exceedingly severe, and the sufferer now lies in a dangerous condition. Mrs. Park is the daughter of General Win. S. Molt, and the wife of Captain R. E. Terk. As may be supposed her family are almost crazed with grief. Tbe Fire Thursday SI ora lag. The fire Thursday morning, which oc curred just as we were going to press, originated in the kitchen of Hr.

Amerleus Fair. Amebicus, Octobei 2Stb, 1880. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The fair has thus far been successful. On yes terday neither the crowd nor the exhibit were what they ought to have bean. To day everything is placed in better shape and so arranged as to impress tbe visitor with both tbe quality and quantity. The crowd is the largest ever known on tbe ground except at one time. I am now writing at midday. The appearance of tha crowd indicates both intelligence and prosperity. There are more new buggies aud carriages and harness than has been seen in old Sumter in many a day. The people are well dressed, well behaved and cheerful. I have met with but one croaker, since my arrival. And why should a peo ple feel despondent, when they have made better crops in all branches than ever be fore, and uuiformlv have disposed of their products at living prices? Through the courtesy of President Windsor, I was carried out to the grounds about nine o’clock. After a general round, I commenced a more minute in vestigation. In tbe main hall, I enumerated tbe floral dis^ 1 ^ It was ex cellent, althon"^ n0 (; q U ft Q g0 extensive, as at aome other points.

The potatoes were fine, but nearly all from the same plantation. There ought to have been a dozen competitors in this line. Colonel T. M. Furlow deserves special mention in this de partment, as he contributed more than any one else to the collection. He is devoting the energies and experience of his advanced age to the improvement of fanning in his section. And although some have laughed at his theories, they now begin to discover that the laugh is applicable to the other side. H’S display at this fair se5 at naught all quibbling as to the’ success of his plans. He had five bales of hay of different grasses, and I« name them in the order that his experi- ence teaches as best: Lucerne, vetch, Germau millet, Hungarian millet, crab- grass and burr elover. He has raised ail of these successfully, and these speci mens were the entertainment of every farmer that visited the hall. A gentleman from Illinois was struck with the common crabgrass hay, and after examining it, said it was equal to any hay cultivated iu tiie West, aud said that Southern'Georgia could be made one of the finest hay sec tions in tbe Union. The oat and wheat crop specimens were very limited, but good. There was one sack of .upland rice, and it looked veil. Several persons are experimenting as to its cultivation here, and this specimen would indicate that it is certainly a suc cess. The races and the stock I must leave for another letter.

Bill Arp is here, but the rain will greatly interfere with his speak ing to-night. Jack Plane. Americus, October 29,1880. The rain commenced last night and has continued at intervals up to this morning, and instead of going to the fair grounds I leave for home. What ha3 taken place to day I know not, but I resume my notes of yesterday. One of the most hopeful signs which I see upon the grounds is the large number of colts. Their quality is superior and evidences the fact that Georgia farmers can raise their own stock, and stock better adapted to this section tiiau any that can be imported. They have no acclimating process to pass through. I saw some as fine mules, Georgia raised, as those tbat come from Kentucky. One gentleman, whose name I did not learn, who lives on the edge of Webster, hail a lot of young stock that would compare with stock ar- where. A few such men as this or , Col. L.M.Felton, of Macon raise the stock, and - ' „ t° WD’uld have a source of rev enue that Should startle some of the old croakers who are constantly bemoaning ‘heir Inability to do such things. Col.

Yesterday wo mentioned tho rumor which came by tiie evening train, that Mr. John Callaway, formerly of this city, had killed a man by the name of Tison In Leesburg. Further particulars could not at that time be obtained, but from pas sengers to-day wc learn the followingt It seems that Tison entered Callaway’s store during his absence and raised a row, but was carried off. Callaway went to see Tisou about it, and was fired upon by the latter, who followed as he fired until Callaway had reached his place Ot busi ness. Tison then went off and secured his Winchester repeating riflo and laid siege to the building. While seeking an entrance, he was met by the contents of a double-barrel shot-gun and almost in stantly killed. A telegram to the-Savan- nah News, from Albany, says : : Albrny, Ga., October 28.*-Isaac P. Ti son, ex-Senator of tbis district, was killed by John P. Callaway, at Leesburg, last night. It is rumored that Tison was in- toxioated in Cahaway’s store, creating disturbance, when Callaway ordered him to stop. Tison became enraged and tursed and abused Callaway, also draw ing a pistol on him. Tison was taken out, but returned with a Winchester rifle and fired into Callaway’s door, which had been closed, saying he intended to get in anyhow. Callaway, it is claimed, then shot Tison with a doubie-bureled shot gun. Callaway, fearing fori is life, fled Tho tragedy in which a Macon youDg man figured so prominently is thus de- ■cribed by the Albany Neios and Adver tiser: Messrs. Tison and Callaway wers both merchants in Leesburg, tho former being interested in two or perhaps three stores in this place. It seems that Mr. Tison was greatly under tbo influence of liquor on Wednesday night, and went to tho store of Mr: Callaway and raised a dis turbance, shooting off his pistol in the house and making himself disagreeable generally. Mr. Callaway was not in the store at the time, but was attending a po litical meeting at the court house. Be ing unable to quiet Mr. Tison, and fearing trouble, Mr. T. J. Mason, the clerk in the store, sent for Mr. Callaway, who soon arrived. When he reached his store, however, Mr. Tison had left, having gone to his sou’s store ou the other side of the street and railroad. Upon learning what had transpired during his absence. Mr. Callaway went over to where Mr. Ti son was, and asked the latter what he meant by shooting off his pistol, and rais ing such a disturbance in his store. Mr. Tison made no apology or satisfactory ex planatlon of his conduct, but asked Mr, Callaway what be proposed to do about it. As to what followed right here there is a conflict in tho statements that are made. It is said by one of the witnesses that Mr. Callaway started to draw his pistol, when Mr. Tison, with more dex terity, drew his pistol and got “tho drop” on Callaway, when the latter retreated Anoth. r statement is • that Callaway had no pistol, or that he did not draw it. All agree, however, that Callaway retreated and went back to his store. It appears that when. Callaway return ed to his store he entered and locked tho door, his cicrk, Mason, and another man Jno. A. Webb, being Jin the house with him. Tison, following -Callaway, soon knocked at the door. Finding it locked, he commenced trying to enter by violence. Falling to break the door down, he open ed fire on it with a pistol. Not being satisfied with this, he either went or sent to his son’s store and got a Henry rifle.

Among those making exhibits, I noticed tho enterprising firm of Berad Bro’s., Ma con, Messrs. J. R. Shaw, A. J. Buchanan, S. W. Sheffield, James Ficher, and the Davenports. The children of the public Echool made a fine exhibit of specimens of penman ship. There was also in this department a variety of pictures of different grade and merit. Oftfeofthe most attractive objects was the suit of clothes worn by Hon. W. H. Crawford, when he was United States minister to France, at the court levees of the great Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1814. Its antique style, and elaborate ornamentation made it quite a study to the curious. Mrs. J. C. Roney, of Americus, had on exhibition a fine cluster of Sumter county sweet oranges, raised in the open air. She had also 08 entries of wines, jellies, pre serves, etc. This was one of the finest displays (n the hail. Mrs. Noy had 00 dt-' tries in the same department.

Quite a number are present, and a good time will be realized by the participants. The hotels are full, not a bed or even a chair can be had to sleep on. The bil liard tables werp crowded with weary and sleeping men. When I arrive at the Bar- low House, I hope to find quarters to night. Jack Plane, Americus, Ga., October 28,1SS0. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The afternoon was devotedto further examin ation. The crowd increased, as the clouds lightened, and we have had on the ground over 2,000 people to-day. This was to be styled the citizens’ day. An effort was made to close up all tho stores, and let everybody go to the grounds, but, as in all such laudable enterprises, it was only partially observed. Everything passed off quietly and satisfactorily. In the fancy work department, Miss Alice Hay had an extensive and beauti ful display. Mra. Windsor had a case of elegant needle work. So, also, Mrs. Hoi loway, a fine display in this department, There was a children’s display in this line, also, which was very creditable. Mrs. Elam, had a combination display on the first floor. There were some splen did hot bouse plants, a moss house artis tically wrought, aud some, of the fiuest specimens of ueedle aud crochet work on the ground. In the domestic department, aside from those already noticed, Misses Davdnport had an elegant* assortment, as did also Mrs. Littleton. Mr. Willethadspecimens of wine from seven varieties of the black scuppernong grape* One bottle was splen did, at all events; as to tho others I can not say, as I had no personal contact with them. This department, while the arti cles exhibited were excellent in the main fell far below what it should have been in the number of exhibits as well as arti cles. It ought to have been twice as ex tensive. The good ladies of that section ought to look well to this department if they expect to make these annual exposi tions attractive. The display of bread and cakes was rood, and reflected credit upon those who manipulated the yeast aud the dough, as well as those who watched tho stove dur ing the process of cooking. The vegetable display was very limited Some well assorted collections were cred itable, but there ought to have been more and better varieties. These remarks will apply as appropriately to the agricultural department. It seems tbat but few per sons took any personal interest in this matter. It is the more the shame, for they made good crops and could, by co-operation with the authorities " r of the fair association, have made magnificent display. Iusteadof this en couragement being extended, I heard sev eral condemnihg the exhibition because of they were perfect beauties. Their move ment was splendid, and they were the ad miration of everybody that passed. There were other splendid colts, but after re peated efforts I failed to learn the names of their owners. They seemed to think it was none or my business who owned them. Mr. Vr hiker, another member of the Marshallville Agricultural Club, fc&d on exhibition a bay mare and colt- There was nothing elegant as to appearance, hut there was a good deal in her ability to work. Sho had plougticd all the season, and as a result of her labor, Mr. Walker had already gathered and ginned thirteen bags of coqton, and he would gather five more, making eighteen. In my wanderings over the grounds, I came next to the cattle. Rev. J. W. Jordan had two Jersey cows, Minnie Colquitt and NettSe Norwood, and, strange to say, that w®cn the judges came to bestow the blue ■ribbon, they placed it ou Minnie as being the better. U. Harral had a splendid one-year old Jersey hull; J. W. Wheatly a Durham bull. All ot these were splen did animals, and were entitled to the blue ribbons. There were some excellent Devon and Durham cows on exhibition. Somebody, I did not learn who, had on exhibition two Cotswsld sheep. On tho buck, the wool by actual measurement was 28 inches long. They were brouuht from Kentucky, and look a premium at a fair in that Stjite. There were other sheep on exhibition, but were not so fine as these. The hog display was not so good, al though Mr. A P. Bell had a pen of splen did Berksbires, that would have done credit anywhere. More attention in this department ought to be giveu. The collection of agricultural imple ments was very limited. Tiie more im portant was a plow, that is said to be bet ter adapted to the section than any other, and King’s improved cotton planter, now manufactured iu Macon. These are the only two implements I heard spoken of in any terms of praise. There were a tew others there. Messrs. Harral & John son had on exhibition a Hall gin, which is a seif-feeder and condenser. It did el egant work, and will no doubt become a very popular gin in all that section. _ I saw but little of the races, and can form no judgment as to their merits. I witnessed but one, and that was between Barney Wilkes and Minnie Tilden, in which the latter won. Both horses be longed to the same owner, I am informed. One or two persons expressed themselves as being disappointed in the races. The horses were not numerous, and the track in consequence of tho weather was very heavy. The propriety ot connecting horse-racing with agricultural fairs is a question about which there is a great diversity of opinion. My own judgment, after several years of observation, is, that they are of no practi cal advantage to an agricultural exhibi tion. I kuow other and wiser men differ with me. I offer just one illustration: _ When such prominence is given to the j track, both in the general enthusiasm and in premiums, the farmers become discour aged and disgusted with the pretension made. Instead of encouraging and giving prominence to that which is legitimately agricultural, and that which will benefit the community, tbe whole influence of the exhibition is giveu to racing, and thereby encouraging (whether intended or not) betting and gambling. Let tbe races stand upon their own merit and the agricultural display upon Us merit, and, if either will not pay, let them bo abandoned. Tbe weather Las so greatly interfered with the fair, some express doubts as to a financial success, still I hope they will come out all right in this matter. They deserve success. .The authorities have done all they could to achieve it. I am under obligations to them for courtesies, aud also to Capt. Frank Hill, of tbe Re corder, and Mr. Turner, the telegraph op erator in Americus. I was asked to give my honest convic tions of the fair and its exhibits. This I have tried to do, to the best of my ability. These letters I know will' not please all, in fact, may not please any, but the opin ions are honest, nevertheless. Jack Plane.
