 The Coming Street Fair. MT. Tom Bender returned yesterday from a trip down the Pensacola branch of
 the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. and he reports that a great many people from that section are coming to the
 Street Fair. October 14-19. In fact, he
 said that 1t appeared to him that the | whole country was going to come. The Entertainment Committee of the Lodge of Elks is making every prepara-
 ton to entertain the crowds and to that end has made an active canvass of the city to see who will take care of "the strangers within our gates" But for fear that there will be some who may not get beds to sleep in, the Elks will order hundredl cots at once and they will be put in the Dragons Armory, adjoining | the Street Fair, where those who cannot
 get beds can sleep. The work of putting up the booths along
 the walls of the inclosurs is progressing
 most favorably. They look very neat and attractive inside and are being claimed as fast as they are finished. One of the booths will be set aside for the reporters of Selma, where they will do their repor-
 torial work and where visiting newspa-
 per men will be entertained when they
 come to Selma. The Press Club of Selma
 will be assisted in this work of enter
 taining the visiting newspaper men by several handsome young ladies. who will
 be assigned to this important task.
 The Press boys are threatening to
 to put a carpet on the floor of their booth,
 hang picturesc on the wall, have a cover
