From the Clinton Patriot Democrat
of 18th inst. we see that,the mare, Lilly,
belonging to DR.. Ed, Woods and Hero,
owned by DR.. L. W. Magruder, under
the supervision of,Dr. Woods took pre-
miums and won handsome purses at
the East Eellciana Fair.

in premiums and purses Si95. We
risk nothing, we hope, in predicting
that at our next county fair the public
will be offered track fit for horse
to run on and where trotting horse
has some chance of showing his speed.

Meridian, Miss, Dec. 1.-THE muni-
clpial election in this city yesterday
resulted in complete success for the
anti-prohibition party. While no issue
was considered, at the same time the
voters believe it such, and consequent
ly the present Mayor was reelected,
who is an anti, with full Board of
Aldermen of the same faith.
Mr.Dial, the opposing candidate for
Mayor, is ono of our best citizens, but
to elect him would have resulted in q
serious split in nearly every business
of this city. The election passed off
with lite disturbance.

Reference to the proceedings of the
City Council, published elsewhere, will
show an ordinance granting certain
concessions TO the Georgia Pacific Rail-
way company in consideration of the
location of the relay for the Greenville
extension at this point. As soon as
possible. the Georgia Pacific will begin
the construction of handsome and
commodious depot and their repair
shops and round-house will of course
have TO be considerable improved.
The employees for this relay will locatc
in Columbus and the general business
of the town will be proportionately in
creased. IL will give breezy air OF
business to that portion of the town
where it is located and add 10 the at
tractiveness of the whole city. The
municipal government is to be congrat-
ulated on the prize they have caught,
and The sound judgment of the roads
management in selecting Columbus is
equally commendable.-Columbu Dis
