MAYOR AND ALDERMEN WILL GO
IN A BODY TO
GEORGIA HUSSARS' BAZAAR
HERD OF HAPPY ELKs MADE
MERRY LAST NIGHT.


spOnsibIe More Than All Others
for the Success of the Undertake
inG-Names of the Booths and
Those Who are i'm Charge OF Them.
Elks night at the bazaar was a sig
nal success. The whole herd of benev-
client brothers stampeded the fair
shortly before 10 o'clock and made
things merry with their joviality and
generosity, until after midnight-that
the names good fellow" and an elk
have grown to be synonymous was in
dellibly impressed upon those at the
bazaar.
A large elk's head ornamented the
lemonade booth, and here the members
of the order gathered in great num-
bers, gave the mystic sign of my
treat" and imbbed the numerous de-
licious beverages which the ladies had
provided especially for the occasion.
The diamond back terrapin stew,
which had been prepared by Capt. and
Mrs. Starr was given a go by every
elk, and many others besides, and the
concensus of opinion was that Del
monico had better take in his sign.
Tonight the Mayor and aldermen
Will be the guests of the evening. At
ter the meeting of Council the Mayor
and the members of the board will go
to the bazaar, where they will be ac-
corded a rousing reception by the eX-
ecutive committee, assisted by the
First Regiment band. 1t is expected
that this will be one of the most en-
joyable, and incidentally profitable,
nights of the bazaar.
A great many very pretty presents
were awarded last night, some of
which are valuable, indeed. A hand
some rod and reel upon which more
than one angler has set covetous optics,

Several large cakes, fit for any feast,
were disposed of at Mrs. STAIRS booth.
The first a nut cake, made by Mrs.

Hull, while fruit cake went to Miss
Maude Banks and a chocolate cake TO
Col r. l.. Colding. The oysters, terra
pin stew and creams, for sale in Mrs.
STAIRS department, received a large
amount of patronage.
Too much cannot be said concerning
the work which has been done by the
ladies toward making the bazaar
success. Without their aid, indeed
there could have been no bazaar. From
the time of its inception they have
worked seduously and persistently, and
have given practically their entire
time to the work, few, If any of the
ladies having time for anything else.
In the afternoon they come early to
their respective booths, take out all
of their wares, and arrange them in
attractive manner. Nor is this any easy
job, for it becomes necessary to handle
heavy articles, to dust and sweep and
to stand for long periods of time on
chair or counter in order to arrange
the upper portion of the booths so
that they may conform in beauty to
the lower portion Until after mid
night they work industriously in con-
irving and executing schemes and
plans, and when at late hour they
return home thoroughly tired and in
convenienced in innumerable ways, it
is but to retire to gain enough rest to
At them for the succeeding day.
There are great many ladies who
have attended the bazaar on every
night. Others there are who have CIV
en- a great deal of time to the under
taking. Those who have been present
every night, and who have superin-
tended the various departments, and
done so much toward the success
which the bazaar has attained, to-

departments, some of them superin-
