preparations are being made by the citi-
zens Of Columbus for the street fair, which

fected and the work of securing various
attractions viii commence in earnest
The soliciting committees are composed
of some of the most prominent citizens of
Columbus, who are heart and soul with
the work, and they consider the question

task.

the kind ever held in the South, conse-

And This according 90 the statements to-
day of those who are authorized to speak,
is very remote possibility.
Bishop Becker's continued residence in
Atlanta has given rise to many reports
as to the transfer of the bshopric from
Savannah to Atlanta. In order to ascer-
tain the facts of the situation, the Morn

that Savannah has not lost the seat Of
the bishop, and IS not likely to do so. The
bishop is only here temporarily pending
the completion of the work of restoring
the Cathedral a Savannah. When that
IS accomplished, he viii return there and

there are many who would like 10 have
him come here, but the only probability
of Atlanta being made the seat of the
bishop is the creation of a new diocese, in
