Exhibit of Laces and Embroideries.

The art of fancy needle work is so essen. tially part of a woman's education that one is not surprised at the exquisite and elaborate collection of embroidery and laces at the fair.
 Mrs. Thomas Armstrong of Elyton chair man of the embroidery committee, is her self one of the most accomplished women in the art of fancy needlework, and she has made a great success of her department. The collection of laces and embroideres include so many delicate and exquisite pat terms that it is difficult to write of them all.

Loan Exhibit of Daughters
 Of the Revolution

The loan exhibit of the Daughters of the American Revolution has been arranged by Mrs. William G. Estes, regent of General Sumpter chapter, assisted by Mrs. Al. Hen ley, Mrs. L. J. Haley and other members of the chapter. The rare and costly memorials with which the cabinets are filled tell their own story of courtly period, and the loan exhibit is a superb collection of quaint and beautiful relics. The collection has been loaned almost entierly by Birmingham peo- pie, as owing to the great value of other Revolutionary memorials owned by persons in various parts of the state, the commit tee in charge of the loan exhibit decided not to request the loan of relics, which ne- cessitated railroad transportation
 Among the relics which are of notable in- terest is a photographic copy of the famous "Westmoreland Resolutions" draughted in 1766, which was the first written expression of resistance to British authority There is a cannon 400 years old and used in both the Revolutionary and Civil wars, and pocket knife and fork used daily by soldier dur ing the Revolutionary war.

The Loan Exhibit of
 Confederate Veterans

The loan exhibit of Confederate me- Haorials, of which Mrs William A. Gayle, of Montgomery, the president of the Ala bama division, U. D. C., was appointed director, and which is in immediate charge of the members of Pelham chapter, is nat urally one of the most interesting corners in the entire building. Tine flag of the country, it is true, waves triumphantly near by, but it's bright eolors are dimmed when one sees among the throngs a gray haired confederate soldier gazing with streaming eyes at the tattered flag that was once unfurled on the fated battlesnip Alabama" And when lifting a precious reldc from its resting place in cabinet While one listens to the story of its preser- vation from flhe lips of an ."unreconstructed rebel" is a privilege far beyond any mere expression of words could do justice.
 Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis Is directly in charge of the loan exhibit, and as she spoke of the memorials one associated her with the brilliant period of the south when brave men donned the gray and the stately danes in brocade and lace watched them ride away to battle.

 Tn shocking of the collection, Mrs. Lewis said:
 "The Daughters of the Confederacy nave indeed, a most rare and interesting exnlpt' some precious relics of the Confederacy' which are seldom seen and cannot De ou- nlicatea The wonder is that they con sented to move such valuable things from one part of the state to another. lhe resi- dent daughters and the State Falr associa- tion should feel honored by the interest shown and the faith reposed In them py the custodians of these precious relcs oi a cause that is dear to the hearts of southern neople. The flags" she continued that are forever furled the swords upon whose bright blades the rust is gathering, and the coat of gray that the north alone is rid ding"
 Tn this interesting exhibit can be seen the original Ordinance of Secession With us long list of sgners which ncludes prohi- nent men from all parts of the state. There is also the lithographic stone upon which is engraved the impressions for the first treasury notes of the Confederacy, and also the engravers first proofs specimens of notes of all denominations, bonds rom s1 .OOO down to $1OO, together with many cu- rious and valuable papers and commissions of officers in the army, and strange to say A pardon from President Andrew Johnston to A prominent woman of this state

ECHOES FROM
 THE MEGAPHONE
From the clogtown Megaphone.

From the Clogtown Megaphone.
 Owing to the fact that Professor Falb has predicted that the world will come to an end today, the Megephone man would urge that all delinquent subscribers come in and pay up early this morning, as he does not wish to leave the world with any debt hang ing over him. Neither does he wish to have any one consigned to everlas sting punish ment in the next world because they did not pay him here when they had chance. Thanks to John Clark for a nice basket of apples which were indeed very fine. At least our wife pronounced them so, judging from the three which we carried home to her as sample. We are no hog and al- ways think of our better seven-eights when we are flush ourselves.
 
 The editor of the Megaphone has received an invitation to address the Sunday school pupils at Mt. Nebo church next Sabbath on the subject, How not to Curse" He de- sres to say right here, once for all, that the next committee which invites him to make such an address is liable to be killed on the spot. There Is limit to the endu- rance of any man, and If that committee fools with the Megaphone man that way the whole lot of them will be arrested for malicious mischief. Any man who runs a little jim-crow newspaper knows full well that cussing is a necessity in any well regu- lated printing office So much so that it is even taken account of when the inventory of the office is made.
 William Harrison, of Snodgrass, called at this office yesterday and paid his subscrip- ton. He came in and reached away down the leg of his trousers and hoisted out an old last years sock in which he carried his cash. That is all right this time, but we desire all subscribers in the future who car ny their money in such purses to be sure and use proper disinfectants before turning the cash over to the editor. We can't af- ford to spend half of the amount so collect- ed for carbolic acid
 A stranger visited this office this morning and solicited the editor to become pupil in a night class of shorthand, as he called it. He said 1t would enable us to write so much faster, and he had some kind Of fool scratches, evidently made by an insane man in. darkest midnight, and pretended to us that he could read it or teach us to write and read the like. We hope he was at peace with his Heavenly Father, because he is dead now, and under moaning willow tree with a cracker box lid for a tomb, rest his remains We killed him, as We would do any man who is crazy enough to insinuate that we are not intelligent by trying to make us believe any such scratching is ca pablo of being read.
