BAZAAR NEARING ITS CLOSE.
The Contests Will Wind Up TO-mOr-
row Night.

| The Odd Fellows bazaar continues a
lively attraction. There was a good at
tendance last night and many articles
were disposed of.
The supper room was well patronized,
and the ladies in charge, Mrs. Elton, Miss
| Celia Gordon, Miss Bessie Garden, Miss
Eva Kinzie, Miss Maggie Kinzie, Miss
Wilson and others were kept pretty busy,
but were equal to the emergency. These
ladies are certainly past grands' in the
culinary art and understand thoroughly
how to tempt the appetite.
They had as guests last night the Ogie-
thorpe Light Infantry, commanded by
Capt. U. H. McLaws, with 40 men; the
German Volunteers, Capt. Henry Kol-
shorn, with IS men.
Georgia Chapter No. of Royal Arch
Masons were also present with large
| crowds.
After ample justice had been done the
bazaar floor was visited. Instead of the
| military making a charge they were
| charged upon by the light brigade of
| lovely lady workers, and thor
oughly good soldiers, the on
slaught being so terrific they
| were forced to surrender and were led as
military captives to the various booths,
where they turned their pockets inside
out to comply with the demands of their
| fair caOtors
The contests at the various tables will
close tomorrow night at 10 o'clock and
| all contestants must have their books with
| votes handed in to the lady managers of
| the booth at which they are working.
| There are several interesting contests in
| progress. The greatest interest centers IN
| the contest for the pneumatic tire buggy.
l. fInk 10 hot
| race between Maj. J. Ferris Cam and Col.
| Merritt w. Dixon. 1t is neck and neck
now and little extra hustling by friends
| of either will make him sure winner. Both
| of these gentlemen are very popular Coz.
| Dixon S friends are apparently the most
active, but others say that the friends OF
| Maj. Cam are more on a still hunt ana
| when the count takes place that there
| will be a big surprise.
| Mile Rita for the remainder of the week
| has reduced the price of palm reading and
| fortune telling to % cents. Her revela-

! mysteries of the future and tells with ac-
curacy events of the past. She interests,
mystifies and pleases.
