We regret that our limited space pre-
vents US from giving q moro extended
description of each display, for all of
them deserve it. We have endeavored
to mention every display, and if we have
omitted single one it was not intentional.
The colored flashlights were used in
some of the scenes with very fine effect.
Some of the displays deserve special
mention, but our pen would fail to do
justice, and we will not attempt it. Each
young lady had something to say, either
in prose or rhyme, concerning the busi-
ness or firm, which they represented, and
we'll did they recite it.
The program was interspersed with
some very fine songs from Mrs. Ligon,
Mrs. Peoples, Miss Caro- Miller, and
Messrs. Jos Miller, J. G. Cunningham,
NJ. L. Willis and J. A. Ruddock, as we'll
as some excellent music by the orchestra.
Mr.. Wood A. FAINT, in his inimitable
negro character sketch and song, "Old
Bob Ridley" was highly enjoyed, and
elected rounds of applause.
An original cornet solo by Mrs. Rud-
dock was very fine.
Tho program was concluded with the
grand march, in which all of the young
ladies (more than GO in number) partici-
pated. AS they marched and counter
marched about the stage, bearing their
handsome banners, they presented a
scene of beauty seldom witnessed on any
stage in our country. Their drill was
perfect and in good time with the orches-
ira.
A number Of the young ladies were the
recipients Of some very handsome bou-
quets oflovely flowers. The largest and
most exquisite bouquet, however, was
presented to Mrs. Fretwell, by Messrs.
Craig and Anderson, of the P. R. ds W.
G. R. R.. whose display she represented
in her usual happy and humorous man
ner.
The prize offered for the most appro-
pirate recitation and costume and hand
soonest banner has not yet been awarded.
The audience voted on 1t, but the ballots
were locked up and have not yet been
counted.
In conclusion lot US say that Mrs.
Bieckley and Mrs. Fretwell deserve the
thanks of all our people for this unique
and interesting entertainment, and they
have cause to be proud of their success.
Anderson has cause, too, to be proud of
her home talent, for we venture the asser-
ton that no town or city in the State can
excel such carnival as was witnessed on
this occasion.
Everybody is anxious for repetition
of the carnival, and it will be repeated in
the near future. The date will be announc-
ed later.

Mr.. Editor, We notice that the disf'ense'

suppose it is for the purpose Of competing
with the "blind tigers" We think there
is room for another fall. When poor
fellow goes to buy whiskey, which he is
obliged to use for medicine, he don't want
to be paying the big salaries of horde of
spies. -.
If something is not done to reform this
government we think it will fall to pieces.
Taxes are higher, money is higher, " his
key higher, and cotton is lower, and how
much worse do you suppose they want to
get it before they stop.

We wonder where Sam Dewberry Is,
The birds have quit their singing,
The babbling brooks have all froZe up,
And the bells have ceased their ringing.
We wonder where Mr. Dewberry Is,

And even little children run to the door,,
When they think they hear his mule
braying.
We wonder Why he went away.
The widows sigh as they shake their

And they are very melancholy now,
Because he does not court their girls.

Please do come up once more
And make glad the waste places.
