i've feature; sdmiring crowds are always in a.
tendance; q kindly disposed gentleman supplies q
never failing assortment OF most excellent cAk e.
bread and such rolls! Oh that We could get
such at our boarding house, we inwardly thought
Messrs. r. b. q Co. have entered for the sweep
stake race on Monday next. one Of these famous
stoves; we may add that Charter Oak Is SO far
favorite at long odds In the pools now being
made up.

Ribbon" and premiums for the best laths, wea-
tber.boarding. scantling and plank. framing lum-
Der, flooring, and ceiling; the best shingles, and
their speciality the Louisiana Portable House.
Cares portable houses, one Of which is on ex-
hibition visitors will find 1t nearly opposite the
Ootsgonsl Building. These houses supply want
long felt by large class Of our citizens. whose
email means have heretoforsprev them from

horse cars running back of and down town, va.
cant lots readily procnrsbls at q small outlay
Of cash. or at long credit on favorable terms of
payment. Cares portable houses are arranged
in such manner that a couple Of men, capable Of
driving q nail, can put together one of these
houses in o couple of days. They are prettly de-
signed, very convenient and comfortsble-the
kitchen is detached from the house, and the whole
cost, finished complete, readyito occupy, Is ct 80
low figure, that any person now paying rent can
afford one Of them. We predict they will become
very popular and call the attention Of visitors to

McRoberts & Dick, tie manufacturers Of the
premium soaps Of 1866 and '6s. have triumphed
as usual, taking the two highest premiums. d.
plofna and silver medal, for the best soaps ex-.
hibited at the present fair. The display Of differ
emit specimens OF. soap made by this firm Is the
finest on the grounds and the fact of their being
awarded the two highest premiums is conclusive
that their soaps are useful well as ornamental.

are an institution. Their Office is at As Common
street, New Orleans. Louisiana.
starn's raw bone fertilizer is attracting con.
siderable attention from our planters, who, wax
ing mp to the fact that lands continually worked
must be replenished In order to make them prof
liable investment are making inquiries Is to which
is the best and most economical, with least cost
and largest general result Wherever the fertilizer
of Messrs. Stern has been used. IL has answered
all these purposes. The ground raw bone fertil.
izer is really article Of great value and utility.
We informed that large orders for this fertilizer
are filing. and we are glad to know that It is
appreciated. In Europe and In our own country,
North and West, fertilizers are in very general
use, and were II not for the constant use Of fert
izers, those lands woula not supply the require
ments of the inhsbitants. As IL is, their overpus
supplies the world. The raw bone fertilizer is
equal to the best Peruvian guano in Its effects,
while the cost is much less. Msssrs. Stern Bros.

where they will receive their friends and give all
necessary information.

reurenated and no longer tired, no longer dull,
we ceased to envy even the successful ponyist.
These bitters are really an article much needed
ard should have place in every household. They
are very pleasant TO the taste, and highly recon-
mended for all complaints resulting from debIlI,
tsted system. Try them.

to get out Of order. and will last q life time;
conrenient. cheap, they are the best devices ever
before presented TO the public. The patent

an ingenious continuance the clothes line goes
through them, and as they are not taken from the
line there is no possibility Of loss displacement;
they are like the Romse sentinel - always to be
