Is the principal topic of conversation
here, and the proportions of the festival
are such that very great degree of inter.
ests is manifested in it throughout the
entire state. The celebration is intended
TO commemorate the Tooth anniversary
OF Columbia's existence as the capitol of
the state, and the preparations that are
Delng made for the event give promise
that it will be festival worth coming
hundreds of miles to see. 1t is yery
probable that the Columbia canal will be
completed in time for the centennial and
this will lend an additional interest to the
occasion. Among the features of the
centennial are an address by Wade

be one to two hundred magnificent floats,
some costing as much as $500 each; dis.

which no admission will be charged.
Besides these there will be racing.
championship ball playing by the best
amateurs in the South, ampsements at

The form of decoration to be adopted
is the most unique and perfect ever tried
IN this country. Each county of the
state will erect a handsome arch over

wooden structures, Handsomely painted
and artistically designed and festooned
with bunting, by committees sent here
from the co0nties for the purpose. At

Ring-Tailed Monkeys IN the Ever

TAMPA, FLA, Especial, Jack Robe
son, of Fort Meade, has been down in
the Everglades since last October, survey
ing. One day not long since, he captur-
ed genuine South American ring-tailcd
monkey, in the top OF high tree down
there. The Indians have known thesp
monkeys to be there for the last fifty
years. 1t is supposed that vessel from
South America was wrecked on the coast,
and that some of the monkeys aboard es-
capped to the Everglades, where they have
thrived for half century.
Hugh O'Neill, of New York, Offered
Robson 500 for the monkey to send as
a present, but Jack refused to sell his pet.
However, he agreed to loan him for the
season, and r. T. Patton brought it up
with him, intending to leave it in the
great oak tree that stands east of the
Tampa Bay hotel. Coming up on the
steamer the monkey bit boy who
tcased it. and Mr.. Patton took it to his
home in Sanford, where he will keep it
until it is perfectly tame; then he will
bring it down'to amuse the hotel guests.
Some of the boys talk of organizing q
monkey hunt down in the Everglades.
