 Montgomery does not seem to be taking the interest in the fair which is to be held here next month as 1t should" said a commercial traveller at at the New Exchange yesterday. T was little surprised when arrived fair in October. They don't seem to be booming 1t as fair associations are doing in other States and cities:
 T have been going to fairs for to the conclusion that unless the whole community enters into these displays heart and soul they are not so much benefit to the town or county In which they are held. I understand that ex- cellent fairs are held here, and that the one in October is to be one of the most attractive from every standpoint that has yet been held, and the advice of an outsider Is for the good people of this community to get together ana make this a success.
 "The large expositions have been proven failures, and fl is yet ques' tion as to whether or not the people will still support the smaller fairs. The Jamestown Exposition is one of the greatest shows ever made any where, but the people have exhibited little interest, and the attendance has been hundreds of thousands short of what was expected up to this time"
 Sherlock Holmes could scarcely unrav- el a situation in which Mayor Teague finds himself placed. The city's chief executive, as accredited, is faster than the winged Mercury. He is both here and he isn't, all in one bres.th.
 Sunday and Monday were spent by the Mayor on visit to Columbus, Ga, gomery Tuesday morning, arriving here
 However, The New Orleans Item of Tuesday September 10, has the fol- lowing to say:
 cry, is registered at the St. Charles Hotel. The chief executive of the Ala bama capital stated that at present his city Is enjoying vigorous boom In building. In fact the Mayor is him self building a ten-story hotel, which will be located in the business center of that city. He will return home this evening. He called on Mayor Behr- man"
 The question that is at present con- fronting the executive Is who could be the party posing as Montgomery's Mayor in New Orleans. The facts az stated In The Item are so minute that of a seeming double. Mayor Teague was inclined yesterday to treat the matter as a joke. saying that some official of the city, or some friend of his, was evidently playing double role for the pleasure of having the Joke on both.
 The Item said that the Mayor would leave New Orleans on the evening Of the 10th, at time when the real w. M. Teague happened to be in his own wigwam The Mayor said that neither he, nor any member of his family had had the pleasure of visiting in the pleasant Southern metropolis for sev- eral months.
