Floating casket Found.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 49,
The caving banks of the Mis-
sissippi river cause many queer
things to float down stream, but
the strangest find in recent years
was a small metallic casket, her
metically sealed, which was Iick-
ed up on the Algiers shore.
When opened it was found to
contain the remains of 5-year-
old boy, in a fair state of pre-
servation. The body was well
dressed. 1t is the opinion here
that the coffin was dislodged
from the ground during the food
at Pine Bluff and fioated on
oown the river.

A very good form of enter

ess, with the assistance of her

the affair and have a very de-
lightfcl evening. Let the invi-
tations read Hours with the
Old Songs" and arrange a pro-
gramme thus:
''Stretch a sheet across the
room about six feet high, paint
on this curtain a few rough bars
of music and where the notes
should occur cut holes; through
these, the singers with faces
blackened like negro minstrels,
thrust their heads to sing negro
ditties to the accompaniment of
a banjo.
A group of little folks in
''nighties'' and pajamas could
sing slumber songs with pleasing
effect. A glee song. with the
singers wearing cap and gown;
folksongs of foreign lands with
singers in the dress of the coun-
try whose songs they sing, and
one or two solo pieces, vocal and
instrumental, would furnish a
very pleasing entertainment,

FAIR ASSOCIATION
LlQUlDATE CLAIMS
AUCTION SALE LAST MONDAY IN SOUTH
COLUMBUS MAS A GREAT
SUCCESS.

Thursday morning at eleven
o'clock an auction sale was held
in South Columbus when forty
desirable lots were sold by the
Fair directors for the purpose of
liquidating the claims of the
East Mississippi and West Ala
bama Fair Association.
A large crowd was present at
the sale and when Auctioneer
Moore began to auction off the
property he met with great sue
cess and in a few hours had dis
posed of forty lots.
These desirable lots brought
over $4, 600, which put the Fair
Association ON seasy street. i"
The fair grounds were not at
all dismantled, only the property
west of the above place was
sold, so if the people of Colum-
Eus want the county fair held
here next October they can
probably get it.
Directors E. S Moore, w. S,
