Liberal DonaIions-GOod Wishes
From AbrOad--send I'm Your LISTS

The predictions that have been made
from time to time concerning the success
of the Masonic Bazaar and Fair, which will
be opened in this city on the 18th inst, will
from present indications be more than
realized. The responses to the circulars
setting forth the objects Of the Fair have
been exceedingly gratifying, and with but
very few exceptions the contributions and
donations of articles and money have been
exceedingly liberal from friends in
various sections of the State, and
from our own citizens. The hotel
proprietors have done well, our merchants
and business men generally has been
cheerful and liberal contributors, whilst
the generous and kindly sentiments ex
pressed by Northern and Western friends in
forwarding their contributions have afforded
much pleasure and been keenly appreciated
by the fraternity here.
THE EXHIBITION HALL.
The trusses for the roof of the
mammoth Exhibition Hall, now being
built in the Oglethorpe Barracks,
were being put up yesterday, and
1t is expected that by next Wednesday the
felt roofing will be put on. The building
will be ready fully week before the Bazaar
and Fair opens, thus giving the managers
and lady committees ample time to get
everything in "apple pie" order before
opening day.
In presenting additional contributions to-
day We also publish evidence of the interest
that is being taken by our fraters of the
Fourth Estate elsewhere. We would state
mere tnatthere are some two or three hun.
dred donations to the Bazaar which have not
yet been reported for publication and that
1t is desirable such lists should be handed
IN as early as possible. Since our last re-
port there have been received the following
