One of the flnpst displays at the fair was made by Hr E W Burke in the Art Hall, and hie exhibit was surrounded at all times By an admiring throng. He had samples of the magnificent pianos and organa that he D selling, as also books, stationery and printing. His apace was beautifully amnged, and was one of the most attractire features of the fair. LITTLE GIANT. This celebrated stallion, owned by Ur R K Branch, of Oconee, was entered in the pacing race to fill out the fair, and , after the beats were aplit he was with drawn. He is one of the beat bred stal lions in Northeast Georgia, and has a good record as a pacer. Hr Chuck An derson, of Marietta, and Hr J A Bland, of Nashville, say that they hare mado special inquiries about Little Oiant in Kentucky, and find that he is one of the best bred stallions in Georgia, and that if they lived in this section would breed from him. Little Giant has made a recoid both at a sire und on the turf equal to any of the Haiubletonian breed. He is the sire of two three-year-old* that have trotted smile in 2:55. All of his colts are promising, and arc natural trot ters or pacers. Any one wanting to raise from this fine stallion should ad- dress R E Branch, Watkinsvilie, Ga. BAcnro. A scrub race was gotten up for the amusement of the spectators and proved to be one of the beat races of the week, and was neatly enjoyed by all present. The boys all chipped in and made up a ten dollar pool for the horses to run for one- half mile two best in thre-*. Circus Bill entered and ridden by Crawford, is large grey horse, with his true dipped Englieh style. • Circus Bill his been in , regular attendance at the swapping grounds from Habersham to Elbert.

The whip and spur was used from the jump, and before the finish each horse wss badly blown and it was a hard matter to get them to run. ' Daisy Hill showed her blood anil came in the winner of the first heat. After thoy were given a short time to rest they all came up again and away they went to the amusement of the crowd. Circus Bill could not hold hia own, although hia rider used a pole on him to make him go. Maggie was rid den for all she was worth, but all the beating and banging did no good and oar Daily HiU got out first NOVELTY KUNHIKO EACE. This was decidedly the fastest race and the hones were put out fora 11 there was in them. Blood will toll in hones and thought that Arteband was the best bred hona in the race and would win.

No department of our fair created so much interest aathe friendly little tilt be- tweenannmber ofladies as to who would ba awarded tte cash prise of $5, given i by Hr Jules Cohen, for tha best “erasy -^ullt” inhibited. The display of quilts was beautifu 1 , and the work highly credi table to the skilled hands of the fair owners. Some of them seemed like a miniature flower garden, while otuers work of a needle and thread. ■ Each silk White omit was displayed to its best advantage,.

Lucas’ quilt, which was certainly beautiful. But a. the te- dies had taken so much pains with their work, it seemed fair that more tium one prise should be awarded, and to thla end tha BanmeSiWhtciinan offered a second specal prise of a beautiiul placque dock to be awarded also for silk quilts. It was difficult to decide the question, but efterafairand impartial examination of the I PERSONAL AND FAIR ITEMS- qnilta on exhibition, the premium was given to Mias Beedie Harper, of El bert county. tiii ouxeeiNo jail At the close of the Fair last evening,! nmmittee was appointed to count the beans, and decide who was entitled to tho watch and chain given by committer ■ Jmsairin trno wu ouu Messrs.

This live young drug firm made a most creditable display at the fair, and they are energetic and reliable young men and put in a good exhibit which was greatly admired. The charming plush cases of brushes and combs, and mani cure aete'were very pretty and the dis play of mirrors, dressing esses and toilet articles was as pretty and as complete aa lything on the grounds. Messrs. Long id Taylor are both well known in Athens, and can be found at the old stand of Long St Co.

With the in ducements we are ablo to offer; we can draw both trade and cotton from up and down that road, and instead of injuring us it will be a fine feedeijfor Athens. Tho Elberton road is one of the most im portant tint we can build, and I do not think there is much doubt about it com ing hero. However, we had better sare all of our money to put in that road. It is foily to talk about huiiding up a rival to Athens in Augusta. Are we no getting cotton from over the line of Geor gia railroad, in direct communication with Augusts?
