The rest of the young ladies in town came promptly to their support, aud the result was the entire fund was raised.

Miss Redden' 'sE cake was raffl I'd off and fell to the lot of Mrs. l. B. Sargent, the wife of the Methodist minister. Alter the first cake was disposed of Mir. A. l., Guin noun ted step ladder and announced that Mrs. Bankhead's cake would be presented to the loveliest young lady present-that it would be decided by vote-that the cleo tion would not be held under the Sayre election law, but under the old republican law, which permitted every one to vote as many times as they pleased, provided they paid for the privilege.
 He further stated that the winner would be left in peaceable possession of the cake, as there was no contest law.
 After an exciting contest Miss Hattie Brown, one of Sulligent's fairest young ladies, bore off the prize. The cake brought the handsome sum of $27. 20. The church committee desires to thank every one who contributed to the enterprise.
 The Baptists are erecting a new church here, which will add greatly to the appear ais ce and interest of our town.

FAIR NOTICE TO COTTON PLANTERS

the leading cotton manufacturers of New England gave notice that cotton baled in close woven sacking or bagging would be rejected, the movement against that class ot covering has become general With manu- lecturers and exporters in all parts of the country, as their experience has shown that close covering causes great damage to cotton rotting underneath the bagging from lack of proper ventilation, and the planters who uses close cloth of any de- scription or old and rotten bagging must expect to have his cotten stripped, picked, and recovered with proper bagging at his expense. The low prices of new cotton bagging offer no excuse for the use of second hand or inferior covering.

 COL. H. B. TABOR IN NEW YORK.
 The many friends here of Col. H. B. Ta- Dor, formerly of Birmingham, will be pleased to read the following notice of him from the New York Commercial Adver- tiser:
 Of the brilliant men who have added lus- Ire to the New York bar, the south has furnished it's quota. Among these may be mentioned Hon. John R. Fellows and Judge Roger A. Pryor. A new legal lumi- nary, and one that is not unlikely to add laurels to his nativity, is Col. H. B. Tabor of the icm of Holm and Tabor, whose of- flee is in the World building. Colonel Ia bor is a Georgian by birth, but il was in the courts of Fort Smith, Ark, that he won his spurs. He has resided in this city but a year, yet in this brief space of time he has succeeded in making an enviable position for himself. This is exactly what his Fort Smith friends and admirers ex- pected he would do, and their expections have been fully realized. Colonel Tabor is endowed with what might be termed a nat ural legal intellect, which consists in grasping quickly and accurately legal prln- ciples ana discriminating correctly. Like other men schooled in the law, he has memory that is unusual, retaining not only principles, but the names Of codes and books, with remarkable precision. An untiring worker, Colonel Tabor is aggress i've in any case he undertakes, from the smallest to the greatest. His personality is exceedingly agreeable and preposessing; his form is tall, erect and staiwart, de- noting magnificent constitution and per- feet health; his nature is frank, genial and generous; his white hand is as liberal as his heart is sympathetic. Such strong, able and accomplished men always make their way to the front in a great city. Would that the south should send us more of his kind and quality.
