SARDIs, Miss, October 2l.-This
has been a gala day in Sardis, and the
Fair has achieved a grand success. Old
citizens say that never before have so
many people been assembled here.
They come frOm all directions, and
not few, We were pleased to per-
celve, were from Memphis. Indeed,
we are much gratifled by the very
liberal patronage extended to our Fair
by your citizens, both in the way of
exhibitions and as visitors.
Especially pleased are we, also, to
note the fact that, both as exhibitors
and visitors, our Fair is graced by the
presence of several Of your fairest la
dies.
The day was devoted chiefly to the
exhibition OF fine stock, and the dis
play was in the highest degree credit
able. With the handsome steeds,
gaily caparisOned, contending spir-
itedly for superiority, the arena pre-
sented a very animated spectacle.
An accident happened, which luck
lily resulted in no greater damage than
the smashing up Of buggy, bat
which, at one time, threatened serious
consequences. a Mr.. II. 4. Johnston,
driving a spirited and handsome black
horse, turned him too suddenly, cap
sizing the buggy, throwing it bottom
upward over the horse, which was
thrown to the ground, and Mr.. John
ston himself was shot a distance of
several feet through the air. BY good
fortune, neither he nor the horse
were much hurt, but the buggy was
"used-up' Institution.
A part Of the programme of the
days proceedings was the delivery of
an address by Dr. George Little, of
Oxford, GeOlOgist for the State. IT.
was upon the subject of agriculture,
and gave not only much valuable in
formation, but much satisfaction to
the large audience present,
Another part of the days proceed
ings was the awarding Of the pre-.
miums on cOttoa, Of which there was
2 most admirable display. The
Awarding Committee was from Mem
phis, and consisted Of the following
well known dealers in the staple, viz:
Messrs. Z. f. Clarke, chairman; A.
J. Roach, Jessee Moore and John W.
Ward. From Il number of splendid
premiums were awarded as
follows: .-
For the best bale of cotton, TO W. F.
Fiautt, Of PaRaa county, For the
second best, Albert G. Coleman, OF Pa
nola county. For the third best, TO
J. d. Aldercon, OF DeSoto county.
The committee had much difficulty |
in coming to a decision, but their
awards were very generally approved. |
Encouraged By the sua,ess which
has thus far attended the exhibition,
t will be continued throughout the /
week. /
Aswe close this dispatch, our ears
are greeted by strains Of music, pro-
,eeding from the old Memphis Brass |
Band, who are now engaged in paying |
-he compliment of a serenade TO Maj. |
simmons, President Of the Fair AssQ- |
station, who, by his energy aud untir- !
Ing attention to the wants of exhibit |

LONDON, October 2l.-Mr. Glad
stone, First Lori of the Treasury, has
written letter 70 the President of the
Amnesty Association on the subject of
the course of the Government towards
the imprisoned Fenians. He says the
members Of the Government have
carefully considered every one of the
memorials for tile release of the pOliti-
cal prisoners, which have been pre-
sented from time to time, and have
decided that such release would be
contrary to thei' duty as guardians OF
the public security and peace.

he didn't accept it. You can draw
your own inference. The truth Is,
this is the first time one OF these car
pet-baggers has been brought to time.
They are accustomed to ride rOugh-

calls themtto account.

viVOrs of the War of 1872"

New ORLEANS, October 21.-The
city papers, for some time past, have
been yentilating the fact that the State
is being defrauded of money amount
ing in the aggregate to several hum
dred thousand dollars, under color of
the law for the relief of the soldiers of
1914 and 1873. The general impression
being there were not hundEad of this
class living.
In regard to this matter Judge
Abel, of the first district Criminal
Court, yesterday assembled the grand
jury and delivered a lengthy charge.
The following is an extract:
"I have felt it my duty to call you
together In this summary manner, to
check and stop, if possible, one of the
most dariag and successful frauds
that has yet been perperated upon
the State Treasury, and this was
accomplished by wholesale perjury
and subornatiOn, and, it is believed,
by the completely of officers in posi-
tion. He states that he alludes to the
false, corrupt and fraudulent obtain
ing of warrants upon the State Treas
urer by virtue of the act of the General
Assembly approved in 1893, for the
reliefQf the veterans who served under
Jackson at the battle Of New Orleans. "

says: "Of the young ladies who grace
our promenade, a large proportion are
OF either Eastern or foreign origin.
They were not born here, but resi-
dence here improves their looks. The
California complexion is almost a
bye-wOrd. Even their mothers, az
rlVlng sallOW and lean, renew their
youth, increase in weight, and at the
same time in health and activity.
The jaded bellies Of Older and larger
cities might do worse than use Cali
iOrnia as a gigantic watering place,
only taking care 70 avoid San Fran
cisco in the summer time: and when
they come, they will certainly nos
complain that our ladies do not exer-
else sufficiently. In the country. and

the most sanguine could desire. Ev-

most improved system of good order.
The grounds were patroIled by a most
