that the leaders of the coming
generation will be men who live
among the flowers and trees and
who hold daily communion with
nature.
At the conclusion of Maj. Var
daman's address The Melroses,
trick bicyolists, were introduced
and held the attention of their
audience for some minutes with
their daring maneuvers on the
tight wire. The act is ardecided

five feet from the ground. They
ride both singly and in tandem

Governor Elect Jas. K. Varda-
man spent last Tuesday in the
city, having come over from
Gesep wood to deliver the opening
address Of the third annual exhi-
0itiou of the Mississippi and West
Alabama Fair association, which
he opened Tuesday afternoon.
Major Vardaman has numer-
Gus admirers in Columbus, and

to them that his stay in the city
was SO limited, he having been
compelled to return to Greenwood
Tuesday afternoon.
While here Major Vardaman
was the guest of DR.. w. r. Nc

Demeated Woman Creates Dis
turbance on the Streets,
and is Promptly Jailed.

lgnne Martin, a demented ne
gress, created quite disturbance
near the corner of Main and Mar
ket streets Tuesday morning by
breaking away from Constable
Brasher, who was taking her to
Jail, and running, yelling down
the street.
The woman, who lives in the
southeastern portion of the city,
had been reported to Sheriff Arm
strong as a maniac, and Deputy
Sheriff Eggleston sent Constable
Brasher with a warrant for her
arrest. The officer experienced
no difficulty in inducing the wo-
man to accompany him up town,
but when the corner of Main and
Market streets was reached she
became recalciterant and broke
away. Police officers came to
the aid of the constable and she
was recaptured and hustled off to
jail.

The third annual fair Of the
Mississippi and West Alabama
Fair association began last Tues
day, the opening being the most
auspicious in the history of the
association. A great many hor-
ses arrived last Saturday, and
Sunday and Monday the streets
were crowded with their owners,
and ihe excitement and exhilara-
ton which always attends an ex-
hibition OF this kind was decidedly
noticeable. Every one is familiar
with the gleeful feeling that al !.
ways comes over the people Of a
city when there is big circus in
town, and the same thing is true
of a county fair, for it brings a
crowd of Jockeys, fakirs and
FOUNDERS who are never seen in
the smaller cities except on oc-
casions of this kind, and about
whom there is a peculiar and
mysterious charm, the cause of
which it is impossible to explain.
Drago's band, which is to fur
nish the music throughout the
progress of the fair, arrived in
the scity Monday night and made
their first public appearance
Tuesday morning, driving through
the streets in the band wagon and
discoursing sweet music as they
went. The fair grounds were open
to the public on Tuesday morning
but there was nothing on the pro-
gram in the forenoon, and the
real opening took place at two
O'Clock in the afternoon
when the racing began. The
first race on the program was a
half mile trot or pace for four
year olds, and al it's conclusion
Governor-elect Vardaman, who
had been advertised to open the
fair with an address, was intro
duced and made a brief but bril- |
liant speech, apologizing for the
brevity of his discourse by saying
that he had spoken SO often dur
ing the past few months that the
organs of his throat had been i'm
paired and that he was afraid to
strain them. The short speech |
that Maj. Vardaman delivered /
was, however, listened to with
marked attention and genuine
interest, and in it he took occa-
sion TO pay glowing tribute to the
yeomanry of the south, saying
that the people of this section are
unpurchasable and uncorrupta-

FRIDAYS EVENTS.

Like the dessert which follows
a sumptuous and faultlessly serv-
ed repast, Friday, the final day
of the Great FaH Fair, was de-
cidedly the most enjoyable of the
four gala days, and the numer-
Gus events which went to make
up the delightful program were
witnessed by the largest crowd
that ever assembled on the fair
grounds, more. than three thous-
and having been present Friday
afternoon when the football game
between teams representing the
A. &c M. College at Starkville,
and the University of Alabama,
at Tuscaloosa, was played.
As usual, there was little to
interest the average sightseer
during the forenoon, the time be-
ing devoted largely to judging
exhibits and awarding premiums
in the various departments, but
Notwithstanding this fact people
began to enter about ten O'Clock,
and from that time on there was
a good crowd present. About
noon the people began to come in
by the hundreds, and at one
O'Clock the already large crowd
was swelled by the arrived of
about four hundred students of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege, who were in charge Of Pres
dent Kincannon and were ac-
companied by several other men,
bers of the faculty.
OF course the principal attrac-
ton Friday afternoon was the
foot ball game between Tusca-
loosa and the a. and NJ. College,
and it is no wonder that there
was such an immense crowd
present., for this was the first

given away was really fine IN
strument and it is no wonder that
there were SO many people who
were anxious to secure it. The
board of directors secured the in
stument from Mr.. A. B. Hart,
the local representative of the E.
E. Forbes Piano Co., who made
very liberal arranement with
them.
The drawing was conducted
under the supervision of the board
of directors, being in immediate
charge of Mr.. Chas. F. Sherrod,
the president of the association,
who after placing the numbers IN
hat, allowed Miss Myriam, the
pretty little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. [. H. Sykes, to draw one
out. There was an air Of expec-
fancy when the little miss placed
her hand in the hat, and one could
have almost heard pin drop, so
great was the silence that pres
vailed. After fumbling in the
hat for what seemed to the as
sembled multitude to be an un-
necessarily long time the little
girl drew forth her hand and held
up a number. Mr.. Sherrod after
glancing at it called out: "No. /
2603 wins the piano, who has it?'
81 got it," came the answer
from the seats set aside for the
colored people, and turning their
heads in that direction the people
saw he black face of John Kyle, /
a negro who is well known about
town, beaming with joy ana ex-
citement. Possibly no one had t
any idea that negro would win
the piano when the scheme was
but the contest was
open to all, and like Teddy
Roosevelt's political appoint
ments, color cut no figure, so
John got the piano, and it is safe
to say that there is no happier
man today in CoIuuous 5han he.

Do Good 1t Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds some of the latter are worthless
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend a helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it," Most men appre-
oiate kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: 'My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Csamberlain's
Cough Remedy viii rid you of your
cold, and there IS no danger whatever
from pneumonia when you use that
medicine. 1t always cures. know it,
