OPELIKA.
Alabama Negro Working for a Negro
 Exposition.

Opelika, December 13.-(Special) - The great negro exposition which is now con templated by that race is the scheme of an Opelika negro preacher the Rev. H. N. Newsome, a minister of the A. M. E.. Church. The affair has been fully dis cussed and has become a movement of the race, practically all the learned and prominent negroes in the country being interested in it.
 The Rev. Newsome has been chosen president of the exposition, and a little later the different large cities of the coun- try will be asked what inducements they will offer for the location of the fair, and the one making the best offer will se- cure it.
 Associated with Newsome are Bishops Turner and Holsey of Atlanta and other noted negroes. They have assurances of help from the Federal government and other sources, and the exposition will gather representative exhibits of all the products of the negro race from all parts of the world.
 The scope of the exposition will be the same as expostions in general, and noth- ing except the work of negroes will be exhibited.
 The demand for dwelling houses in Opelika is far greater than the supply. One firm has had six applications this week from persons who want to move here but who cannot obtain houses.
 There is considerable agitation for good roads in this county, Judge F. M. Renfro. county judge, leading the move ment.
 The case of H. c. Sparks who was to be hanged on the 20th instant for murders has gone to the Supreme Court on a bill of exceptions.
