Savannah, Ga Oct. 9, 1870.
Dear Power: I reall' feel thankful to
my friends, McLaran & Williams, for he
complimentihey pay me in asking that I be
appointed one of the committee to award
the premium they offer for the "best looking
baby" at your coming State Fair,
The baby" question I consider the most
important of questions (especially as Bill
Arpsays the raising of boy babies though
I do love the girls too) and one that should
be encouraged. And I am sure our people
will well appreciate and applaud the praise
worthy efforts of our friends, McLaran &
Williams, in this behalf. Yet I would con
sider myself too gallant in the presence of
all the babies, and especially their mothers
and other kin-folks, to pronounce any par
ticular baby better looking than another.
I could'nt do it especially when each par
ticular mother asserts her own to be -'the
prettiest little darling in the world."
I really regret I will be unable to be at
the Fair. I nope, however, that all the ba
bies aud the rest of mankind will be there.
Your friend, truly,
L. Mims.
Visitors to the State Fair are requested to
provide themselves with change, as it will
greatly facilitate admission to the grounds.
Ticket sellers will be instructed not to re
ceive any bills over live dollars.

The Fair Grounds. A glance at
the Fair Grounds, from the rear of the Cap-
itol, reveals a remarkable change within
the past few months. "What before seemed
sombre and uninviting, is now bright and
attractive. The buildings, sheds and fence,
have been thoroughly white washed. A
great many improvements have been made
which the visitor of last year will not fall to
appreciate. The machinery shed is now
one hundred and fifty feet in length, and
will be filled to its capacity. The main en
gine, shafting, etc., are now being placed in
position. The grand mile race-track is the
admiration of all who survey it from the
ampitheatre, and the particular delight of
horsemen, who have been using it freely for
several weeks. The upper floor of the m.dn
building has been arranged for proper dis
play of needle and fancy work, works of art,
fruit, wines, etc. An octagon galinarum, or
poultry house, with thirty-two apartments,
has been erected to the north of the main
building. Some eight or ten establishments
have been erected by private enterprise for
the convenience of visitors who may become
hungry or thirsty. Altogether, the im
provements are many and judicious, and
indicate what may be une as the ability of
the Association shall justify.
Chancery Rule and Forms.
The Rules and Forms adopted by a Con
vention of Chancellors on the 20th of Sept.,
