HUssARs' COMING FAIR.
The Troop Proposes to Make II an
Event in BazardOm.


The general committee of the Georgia
Hussars, in charge of the bazaar to be
given by the troop during the week be-
ginning April 49, met last night at the
company's agmory.
Reports were received from the sub
scription committee. These were very en-
couraging, a number of valuable articles
having been secured. The committee has
some time remaining in which To perfect
plans and obtain articles TO be disposed
of, but the members are elated over the
success that has thus far attended their
efforts. Circular letters were sent out
soon after it was determined to hold the
bazaar TO many of the merchants of the
city. AS a result of these letters many
contributions have come in, the merchants
having, in many instances, sent them on
to the houses IN the North and East from
which they buy their supplies. 1t has been
found that these houses, particularly the
manufacturers, are usually ready to re-
spond handsomely when calls are made
upon them by firms with which they do a
large business The committee is particu-
larry indebted to Messrs. Lippman Bros.
b. H. Levy & Bro. and NJ. Ferst's Sons &.
Co, for securing donations
Among some of the handsome articles
that have been received are a saber. a
ladys military belt, china ware and a set
of standard books. From the earnestness
with which the members of the troop and
the large number of ladies' assisting them
are at work, it is expected that many at
tractive donations win be made and that
the bazaar will be among the most success
