THE HIGGS EXHIBIT.
Raleighs Hustling Dry Goods House
At The Fair.

At The Fair.
1t does not take the ladies who visit
the Fair long to find the most interesting
exhibits, and when they find them they
are not, as a rule, in a great hurry to
pass them by. Dozens of the ladies may
be at all times seen lingering around
the unique exhibit of Messrs Sherwood
Higgs q Company, in the main exhibit
ton hail. Somehow or other the ladies
have learned to regard any kind of Il
display made by this popular house as
in sense expressive of prevailing
fashion, and what they say either by
word or act appeals with powerful eff
feet upon the fancies of the fair sex.
The exhibit made by Messrs. Sherwood
Higgs & Company at this years Fair
is an index that points to their mammoth
and varied stock of seasonable goods in
their popular store on Fayetteville street.
The exhibit itself teaches a lesson
that the ladies love to learn. 1t tells OF
advanced styles in dress goods, cloaks
and millinery, and is so charminsly ar
ranged and so gorgeously displayed as to
attract extraordinary attention.

MUSIC AT THE FAIR.
Mr.. Robert L. Huffines and His Famous
Steiff Pianos.

There is music in the air that vibrates
through the corridors of the west wing
Of the main exhibition hall. 1t is soft
and sweet and enchanting, and helps to
make merry the passing hours for the
passing throngs. From whence does it
come? you ask. Why, from the famous
Steiff pianos, an exhibit on the right
hand side of the exhibition hall.
1t is soft, sweet harmony that leaps
from the sound-boards of these celebrat-
ed Steiff pianos as the keys are touched
ty the musicians. A State Fair without
Steiff piano would be lacking in its
best and sweetest feature, and there
is no instrument here or elsewhere that
excelIs the famous Steiff. Mr.. r. ID.

THE FAIRFIELD PICNIC
A Day of Rain and Wind-Pretty Girls

1t was candidates day in the
northern portion Of Marion ccun-
ty Wednesday. The location was
Fairfield, better known as Bene-
dict, about three miles east of
Reddick, and the present terml-
nus of the new railroad that runs
from Gainesville, and twenty
seven miles distant from the
thriving capital of Alachua
The place is so new, the pro-
moters, Mtssrs. Herlong & Co.,
who are also the builders Of the
railroad, have hardly had time to
christen it; but in this incredibly
short time two tine business
houses have sprung up, are welI
stocked with goods, and are en-
joying prosperous trade. y new
station house, saw mill, and
several comfortable dwellings,.
have also been built. The mer-
chants who are supplying the
surrounding county are Nessrs.
Herlong e Co., over whose estab
lishment j. l.. Edwards, a young
business man of promise, pre-
sides most acceptably. The pro-
prietor' Of the competing store,
are the Nichols Brothers, who
are among the pioneer settlers Of
Benedict and have been before
the people Of that section as pur-
veyors for the past thirteen
years. Their right hand man is
j. II. Carter, who is budding into
commercial prominence and is
making a business record any
young man can Ee proud OF.
AS we remarked, the place is
new; SO virgin in its surround
ings that the primeval forest ol
towering pines and stately oaks,
with their graceful festooning ot
moss, overshadoWs the scene
