THE ARABS DIDN'T CoNE.-The great
Arabian band ofone hundred and seventy
five bare-baeked equestrian. performers,
failed to put in an appearance at the Fair
last week. a. announced by the P. ID. The
cause Of their non-appearanee IL variousiy
conJeetuTed. but we are Of the opinion that
the smoke which assembled from the twenty
thousand cigars gTatuitously distributed by
J. samuels on Wednesday Of the Far, rails
ed such fog that the band got lost-or Il
may be that the damp weather superindue-
ed by the eeaseless flowing Of Bruee's soda
fount, broke all the banjo strings, softened
all the tamborines, and pGralyzed or de-
mOralized those wonderful and historic
"bones."
CoRRECTIoS.-some two weeks ago, in
giving the names Of certain negro ku-klux
who were committed TO Jail by Esquire
Persons. We mentioned Albert Temple as
one OF them. This was an error on our
part, for Albert Temple was honOrably
discharged. Il was Isaiah Thomas who
was committed instead OF Temple. Mr. g.
/. Hunt, with whom Temple lives, gives
him an excellent character, and we make
the above correction with pleasure
JUST ALIKE.--A couple Of SeTy ex-yOutL-
full gentlemen were dlseoursing on Monday
Of the drawing, One remarked that he had
1.-TWO tickets, but passingly strange to say,
be did not draw a cent? The other con-
soliBgly replied. 1--WE are just alike; 1 didn't
draw cent silher-bEf had no tiekef!''
We saw this week, several hundred gen
tleman and ladies who had arranged all
their plans for the investment Of that sI5,-
900, who heartily wished they were ''just
like" that latter gentleman, OF whom we
don't know but that we are enc OF which,
APoroGY.-In our daily Of Saturday the
type made US do injustice to the clerks Of
the Fair. We were made to say that sow
ing 0 the oVsTsi0At OF the clerks we failed
70 get the premiums awarded on Friday TOR
publieatiOn"-in Saturdays daily. What
we did say was that eve failed to get said
premium list 81 account OF the orer1ork Of
the CLERKS" We regret the mistake, for VIC
are under lastiag Obligations 70 the clerks
for favors repeatedly shown throughout the
Fair, and ESPECIALLY Mr.. Horace Tomlin,
who granted every request promptly, and
even worked at night for our accommoda-
ton. ~
A GREAT FERTILIZER.-The best anu
cheapest fertilizer now in use Is the Kapno- |
pbyte, and the farmers Of West Tennessee |
should, without delsy, commence its manu- |
facture and use. We recommend it for the |
following reasons: l. Because Of its hearty |
endorsement by many Of the leading plan
Ills Of North Carolina, Virgins and Geor- |
gta. =. it, cheapness, every one being able !
TO manufacture 1t for himself, at a small /
outlay Of money, and thereby bring 1t with
In the reach Of ALL 3. Because it has been |
endorsed by the most scientific chemists in |
The country, and received a special certf- |
cate Of merit at every Fair where shown IN
the South. This fertilizer, from its high |
character aRdsehespness, commeRda itself |
to the confidence Of the people generally,
and we hope that our farming readers viii /
give 1t 4 fair trial. For information or
rights, apply to
L. B. HOUGHTON,
Spring Creek, Madison Co. Tenn.
WINE AND OYSTER SUPPER.-On Friday
night Of Far week, an oyster and wine
supper was given in the WHIG AND TRI-
BUNE rooms, by our merchants, to the
members Of the Press visiting the city. 1t
was altogether charming affair, and len
on the hearts Of all the PARTICIPANTS many
delightful recollections. Next Fall we hope
TO have much larger attendance Of the
press, and promise them before hand I'M
hospitality.
THE LUCKY ONKs.-Jerry Robertson, a
hsrdworking colored man Of Humboldt,
drew the capital prize IN the drawing last
Saturday. Mrs. Jane Betshares, of Hum
boldt, drew the second prize, and L. G. b.
Scat and DR.. Betshares, also Of Humboldt,
drew the third prize, and it was not an ex-
ira good day for Humboldt either The
lucky ones were here on Tuesday, drew the
money and went home rejoicing. Master
Robert Hurt, Of this city, sold the capital
prize ticket, and Nat. Booker, Of the Mis-
'tssippi Central Railroad, the other two.
Nearly all the prizes have been paid out,
md those who held blanks are beginning
% let up en- their frowns and abuse of the
irawing.
AN ENTRRRRIsING CITIzKN.-Jackson
,annOt boast OF more enternrisine citizen
han J. Samuels, the manufacturer of cigars
md tobacco on Main street He is indeed
ne pioneer manufacturer OF the city, and
las, in few years, built up wholesale
rade that has few equals in any Western
'ity. At our recent Fair he carried of pre-
NUNS in every contest on cigars, and made
he most attractive public display Witness
ID on the occasion. His premium cigars
we're made by Mr.. j. J. Lonsberg, one Of
he most worthy and promising young men
q his establishment. They embraced three
ilasses, the "PIoneer Bell" "Conille," and
Pioneer" and for shape and finish cannot
DC eXcelled anywhere. We congratulate
Mr.. samuels and his young assistant, Ions
berg, on their success, and wish them even
greater triumphs in the future.
LoNeFKLLow woE.-The race ON satur-
lay Of the Fair, between bevy Of darkies
'round the speeding, for special pre-
mum Of $40, was most amusing and ex-
'iting affair. One Frank Bond, of this
county, dubbed on the occasion Longfel-
ew," tor his length Of stride and person,
won the race by a length. 1t was remark
I'd by couple Of Venerable and distinguish,
ed gentlemen, at the commencement Of the
race, that Lougfellow would win, owing to
bis remarkable length from stiae to hook.
Alter the blue ribbon was bound around
bis brow, Frank Bond, alias ''LongfeIIou
was lead around the ring that all might see
him, and no eonqueror Of the turf ever
stepped more proudly.
