The Races.


The races run at the Fair Grounds
on Thursday were very interesting.
LIST race: Hero horse, A year old,
Rothschilds colt, 2 year old, dis
tance 44O yards, colt won by 20
feet. Time 24I.
End race: Tom, belonging to
Leonard Jewell and Blumenthals
mare Florence, $50 yards. The
mare was very unmanageable and
though she had an excellent rider,
broke away four times running past
the grand stand each time. On the
fifth trial there was bad start with
Tom In the lead the latter won the
race by fifty feet. This would have
been good race had the two horses
been turned twenty feet from the
starter.
These were the only races on the
programme, but Leonard Jewell was
not satisfied to rest under the defeat
of his fine and fast horse, Hero. At
8 O'Clock race of 600 yards was
run between the colt and Hero, the
latter having inside track, as the colt
had in the first race. The colt won
by rs feet.
These were all Wilkinson county
horses, and the time of the first race
on bad circular track shows that
fast time could be made on a race
track.
The attendance of ATS people
shows the interest our people feel in
such amusements, and the impetus
that has been given the raising Of
good stock by our county fairs.
Many ladies graced the grand
stand and the assemblage was as
orderly and well behaved as if they
had been at camp meeting instead
of a horse race.
The two first races were for $10C
a side, the last for $50 side.

The Republican "hit us hard' last
week but the best way to end a
newspaper controversy is to say
nothing and we have adopted that
course. The Republican may
"squeal' as much as it likes but
we will not answer. - Centreville
Sentinel.
We intended neither to "hit the
Sentinel hard" nor in any way, in
the issue referred to. In noticing
the Courier's Strange Proceeding"
we used Ssnhnel where it should
have been Courier inadvertently, for
which we beg pardon.
The REPUBLICAN has always de-
sired to be on friendly terms with its
contemporaries and especially with
those of its county. Our readers
will bear us out in the assertion that
as a rule we have always avoided
personalities, except in the few
instances where it was next to
impossible to do so. When it is
necessary "to become personal"
however, we have always called
"spade spade" and shall continue
50 to do so long as we conduct a
newspaper.
