Preparations for the Fair to bo
given by the Aid Society on the Oath
inst, are progressing finely and every
thing bids fair to make the affair one
of pleasure and enjoyment to all who
may be fortunate enough to attend.
The ladies are working diligently and
we hope they will receive the encour-
agement of all in their efforts to carry
out what they have commenced. The
proceeds of the Fair will all be con-
tributed to the benefit Of our brave sol
diers. AS winter has set in the SOL
diers will be expecting the different
Aid Societies to furnish them with
many articles whichit is impossible to
get in the army. 1t is also impossible
for the Aid Society to furnish the me-
cessary articles without money. As
they are out of funds they have con,
cluded to raise money BY giving q Fes'
tival and Fair. OF course all who
desire to aid our soldiers will attend
the Fair and induce all their friends
to do the same.-Cadiz Republican.

volunteer from this township between
this and the fifth of next
january. This. with the bounty of
fered by the Government, will give
each man who volunteers a bounty Of
FIVE HUNDRED AND TWODOL-
LARS, or for veterans six hundred
and two dollars. To any who have
any notion at all of entering the SER
vice this is perhaps the best opportu-
nifty that will ever be presented. The
war cannot probably last over year
longer, and even if it does not, the re-
cruit will get the whole bounty, and
this pile of "greenbacks" is not to be
"sneered at" The government is de-
termined to have the men; if they
wont volunteer, they will be drafted;
and it is a great deal better to go VOL
unfairly, with the good will of all,
and with the five hundred dollars in
pocket, than be forced to go empty
handed, and be, we fear, i'll used in
the bargain. So, in this light, and in
a financial point of view, it would be
better to volunteer.
Volunteers will be sent to any re-
giment they may desire, by applying
to the Deputy Provost Marshal Or the
Committee.
One word more: The colored meh
in this vicinity have professed greatin-
terest in the prosecution of the war;
If they will apply to DR.. Maffitt or
the Military Committee, they will be
sent to any regiment of their color
they may desire. They, too, get the
Eve hundred dollars beunty-more
money than many of them have ever
seen. If they don't volunteer NOW,
what shall be thought of them here
after.

Hansa's News Depot,

Have you been in Hanna's estab-
lishment lately. If not it is worth
the trouble of calling, if for nothing
else but to get look at his magnificent
stock of Fancy Good, Stationery,
Perfurnery, Books, and many other
things that nobody else but Hanna
would have thought of. When Han
ma commenced the news business in
Cadiz few people thought it would a.
mount to much. But Neri has been
untiringly persevering; he has accom-
plished wonders. His establishment
will now compare with any. And ev-
erything is SO nicely arranged to, to
please the taste of the most fastidious.
1t is enough, almost, to make sick
man well to get peep at his beaut full
stock of goods. Ifyou want to give
your friends something nice on Christ
mas, Hanna's is just tie place to 60.
