Mrs. J. Nickerson Williams, the wife o
the manager of the Williams Carniva
Company met at the Augusta House
Thursday afternoon, 4. number of Angus
.ta's representative ladies, i'm regard tt
the carnival which win shortly be giver
under the auspices, and for the benefit Of
The Augusta City hospital.
Mrs. Williams Is very attractive and
her earEestnoss combines to arouse grea,
interest in those who are fortunate
enough to hear her describe the features
Of the carnival which will be beyond
question the most elaborate affair OF It's
kind ever held in Augusta.
The carnival will be a magnificent pre-.
sentatiOn of Il pretty spectacular enter
tainmcnt. which will Introduce a number
Of brilliant effects. There will be la
people taking part. entirely local talent
There will be maneuvers on the military,
dances of all kinds by the young people
dressed in airy costumes OF brilliant
colors. with CALCIUM effects.
There will be tableaux representing the
dress Of the different periods in the his
tory of this country.
And, what is most important of all. the
work is going to be first class. Any
thing short of that in this kind of enter
tainment is a burlesque, and a poor one
at that.
Mrs. Williams is at present engaged in
work at Bath, which has warmly received
her and her work. and those of that city,
who are connected with the carnival, or
know anything about it, speak in the
highest praise OF it as IA charming en-
tertainment.
Another meeting will soon be held and
the organization now begun will be COM

The absolute need of city hospital here
has proved so urgent that everyone feels
disposed to help it along,and union knows
nothing but success.

A Negroes Long Drink.

A western member Of congress was
recently with a party discussing the ca
pacity of men to drink strong liquor.
After listening to several stories along
this line, he said:
well, l don't believe any class of
men can beat these Washington negroes
when it comes TO drinking strong liquor.
One Friday night as came home after
a nights session / thought | would stop
in a little saloon near my house and get
a stovepipe of lager to make me sleep
sound. 1t is not very swell place, but
it was the only one convenient. While /
was emptying the big glass of the frothy
liquid tough looking negro, with big
stick under his arm, walked in and de-
manded pint of gin.
"'What price?' asked the young man
behind the bar.
Twenty cents, said the fellow, be-
ginning to count ont lot of pennies.
All right said the bartender,
where is your bottle?'
I" i don't want no bottle. Jest hand
out glass, huh
"The liquid was measured off in
big beer glass, and without taking it
from his lips he swallowed the contents,
not even deigning to take drink of
water when he had finished The bar
tender did not seem to be at all sur
prised, merely remarking that the fell
low would probably take several such
drinks before he finished the evening. 4"
