THE FRANKLIN COUNT IV 4 £ "H ) STER
ELLEN J. DOTCEI VOL. XL NO. 15
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Coining to Atlanta During the
Piecmont Fair.
We take the pleasure in announc¬
ing that president Cleveland has
agreed fo visit Atlanta during the
Piedmont foil- and exposition in Oc¬
tober next., and has consented that
this announcement of the fact may
be made.
The President’s visit will be an
event of the greatest j mportance.
The present generation of Southern
vis have never seen a democratic
president.' Barring a one days flip
into Virginia made by Mr. Cleve¬
land, no Democratic president has
put his foot on Southern soil in
mere than a quarter of a century.
Mr Cleveland will receive such an
ovation in Atlanta and along the
route as will open his eyes. Thous¬
ands will come from every South
era State, and tho crowd that cele¬
brates in his presence tnc return of
honest and unsectional government
will be limited simply by tlia capac¬
ity of the trains that head towards
Atlanta during fair week.
There were many reasons that in¬
duced the President to accept the
invitation tendered him by the Pied¬
mont fail and exposition association.
Hardly two years ago a delegation ot
25 Atlanta gentlemen went to
Washington to invite the president
to attend the commercial convention
to be held in this city. The presi¬
dent was anxious to accept their mvi
taticn, which was uigedvvitj. sincere
warmth, but it was mq(tsiblei'ov
him to do so lie promised
them however, that lie would visit
Atlanta in the futuro when occasion
and opportunity offered. The holding
of the Piedmont exposition, the only
lair of the year that is more than
a single state fair off ers the occasion
and the president after looking over
his engagements cart fully, lound ihe
opportunity. The Piedmont region
is just now the most Interesting por¬
tion of the country. From ..icbmond
to Montgomery tnero is phenomenal
activity anu growth. The capitalists
of tin. country and of Europe are
locking to it lor investment. There

ATLANTA PEOPLE.
Atlanta k eo P^ e flVB down as
the cheekiest, audet tae same tine
most sensitive people in the country.
The latest thing m regard to gate city
people is that they object to the writ
ng alter the word “Atlanta" in
newspaper articles and business ad¬
dresses. And the Atlanaatians are
c orrect. “New York 4 (statt) is not
written after “New York' 4 (city) and
.
seldom “111.“ written after Chicago
There is but one New York, is but
one Chicago, and but one Atlanta.

BEECHE R ON DANCING.
People as k me frequently, Do you
think that there is any harm in. dan¬
cing? No, I do not. There is .much
good in it. Do you, then object co
dancing parties? No; in themselves
I do not. But where unknit youth
unripe muscle, unsettled and unharden
ed nerves are put through an excess
of excitement, treated with stimu¬
lants, fed urregularly and with un¬
wholesome food, surrounded with
gayety which is excessive and which
is profradte 1 through hours when
they should be asleep, I object, not
because of the dancing, but because
of the dissipation. It is taking the
time that unquestionably was intend¬
ed for sleep, ar d spending it in the
highest state of exhilaration and exv
citement. The harm is not in tae
dancing itself; for if t hey danced as
do Ihe peasant, in>be open air, upon
tnc grass under the trees, and m the
day, it might bo commended, not as
virtuous, but as still belonging to
those negative things that may he
beautiful. But the wassail m the
night, the wastefulness—I will not
say of precious hours, for hours are
not half so precious as nu'vms arc—
the dissipation, continued night after
night and week after week through
the whole season, it is this I deprec
ate as ealing out the very life. I am
not superstitious of observance, but I
am always thankful that there aie
forty davs of Lent in tiie year when
folks can rest Horn their debauches
and dissipations; when no round m
exerssiye excitemefl in the pursuit
of pleasure is permitted to come in
and min the health and cripple the
natural powers of the young.

One of l’iekett’s Heroes Suggests a
Union Monument at Gettysburg
The recent special dispatch in
the New York Herald in vcf- rente
to the proposed visit of the survivors
of Pickett’s dieision to Gettslmrg, on
the 3rd of July next, have create.!
the greatest enthusiasm among the
veterans of both armies North and
South. The onl time foes ct Ju’y,
18C3, will meet again on the same
ground in 1887, as friends of a uni*
ted country.
Patriotic communication are
stantly passing between the old sol*
diers of Pieke It’s division and those
of Hancock’s corps, who opposed
them on C’emecery Ridge,with a vie v
to the grand rc-union in July next,
This has resulted in a novel and a
striking proposition made by Capt.
E. E. Reeve, of Company D. First
Regiment of Virginia Infantry"
which meets with general approba¬
tion here.
Captain Reeve enjoys (lie honora¬
ble distinction of having been shot
at Gettysburg and wounded in nine¬
teen battles. He was once left for
dead on the field, but he wears his
scars nobly and is to-day in excellent
health.
Captain Reeve, in a coinmunica-,
tion to iheexecuthe committee of
Pickett’s division, proposes a joint
memorial monument on the field of
Gettysburg to the dead of both arm
ies. lie says:
“The portion of the Nuithen
army which opposed Pickett’s
vision have, unknown to each other
seleclcd the tame site for a
rial monument,
“Why not on the spot thus selec¬
ted, erect a joint memorial lnrnu ■
ment? A memorial to the gallant
men on both sides who gave their
lives to a cause they both believed to
be just; a monument grand enough
in proportions to commemorate this,
which will perhaps live in history
as tiie grandest struggle of the war,
a monument which will perpetuate
the heroic deeds of their forefathers
to millions yet unborn—grand
enough to memorialize tho supreme
moment in the history of the great
nation; tho Northern side devoted
to suitable inscriptions to the North¬
ern dead; the Southern to those
who fell on our side,and tnc East and
West sides to such patriotic senti¬
ments as may be deemed suitable;
the whole to memorialize a true and
a lasting reconciliation, which we
trust will outlast time itself, and the
pledge of a union, not only of States,
but of hearts and bands, s.ncere and
honorable to both parties, and there¬
fore called ‘Ilizpah.’ For would not
this Union in honoring our heroic
dead bear in itself a pledge of future
amity? And could we not point
to this monument for all time to
coine as a sacred covenant that ncitli
er of us will jiass it to harm the oth¬
er, and in the beautiful language of
Scripture say, ‘The Lord watch be
tween'thec and me?”
“Methink, in the distant future,
when sectionalism may be so com
pletely obliterated that Mason
Ml..., 1* only imern
beml trnditionallr, that He Pilgtim
from nay .arv of ilii, glorious
try with its teeming millions, may
draw inspiration from tl is monument
j commemorating, n* it doe*, tie fact
that so many of his forefathers were
j willing totrecrifice their lives in de
rtense of principle, and also demon-
stl'ale to future gOllvl'atini.K illilt
that breve men, eiigng <1 m a cans',
dearer than life, when the smoke of
the combat had passed away and the
conflict ended in failure, could ac
eept the decree of Providence, sur¬
render a eau-u w hich they could not
maintain, and joining hand m a true
an tl lusting friendship stand in the

Captain Reeve continues: ‘-Far be
it from the writer to w ish an undue
share of the glory of Gettysburg or
the war, for his own ortre opposing
division in tliat tattle. The idea
wuj certainly suggested by the ae
tion taken by these (wo divisions in
selecting the same spot for a memo'
nal monument, bid the monument 1
suggest shotil 1 he a national menu
niorial to ?.il the gallant dead of both
sides ami a monument of a real re¬
conciliation which shall mike us
again a united and happy nation.”
The Executive committee ot
l’iekett’s division will at its next
meeting take action on this pivnusai
of Captain Reeve and there is no
doubt, it will be submitted to Han¬
cock’s men for their favoiublo con¬
sideration.—N Y Herald.
FARTIIQUAKK,
Some of the most severe earth¬
quakes on record have taken place in
Febiuary. At Lisbon, on die 2Gth

country between Santo Fe and Pan¬
ama, including Cusce oud Quit a; anu
it is estimated that ou this occasion

ROBKK l K. LEE’S SON.
The Confederate Chiefbiin’a Farn.h
Twenty Years After the W«r.
A conspicuous figure on II toad way
to-day was Gen. Rtinv Wee, son of
K ^ and Cougvessmuu.oUvt
from the Eighth Virginia district.
He.attracted attention even on crow
ded Broadway. He is nearly six feet
tall: vcy rotund,.has a plump face,
full heard, and ihe sjiarkling blue
eyes so ehavactevstio of the Lees.
His bearing is military. “A soldier
every inch, anyone wouldpiommnee
him at sight.
Geii. Runy is regarded as one of
th# coining Southern political lead
era. It is predicted that he will touch
the marker even higher than his
cou.in, Gov. i' itzAugli. After the
war Gen. limy, who sirred on his
father’s staff, went to plowing. He
became one of the most successful
farmers in Virginia. He lives ou a
pretty estate called Raveuswood, m
Fairfax county, and is said to be
worth 610'),OOt)—a big fortune as for.
lines go in Virginia. Ho took little
or no interest in politics until two
when he loomed up as nn
a piraut for Congress oual honors.
Last fall lie was elected to Congress
almost without opposition. It is
*aid that lie will enter the field for
Riddlebergor’s place in the benato
in case the Democrats carry the State
next November.
ITU brother, Gen. George \\ ashing
ton Parks Custis Leo, is President oi
the University at Lexington, \ a.,
having succeeded his father in that
position. Gen. Oustis is a quiet stu
dent, cares nothing for polities, and
is devoted to his college duties,
Robert E Leo’s nephew. Gen Fitz
hugh, is Governor of Virginia and the
most ambitious of the Lee family
lining. Ho was a farmer until his
election to the Governorshu'. Now
be has entered no itics i s a profession
having sold out bis farm and every
thing on itafow months ago. H
allows a Vice Presidential bee to
buzz about bis bead. The United
States Senate bus charms lor him
too, and be lias an excellent chance
of getting there.
Eitznugh’s brothel, Maj. Lena brave
cavalry leader in the av, also
exchanged the sword for the plow
after appomatlox. Ho is the
looming up in politics, and will prob
bly g.. to the Virginia State Senate
next year.
Robert. E. Lee’s daughter, Miss
Mary, is a great traveler. She has
traveled in nearly eveiy civilized
country in the world, and is seldom
seen in her native State. It will be
r#m embered that she was one of the
few American ladies in Lome who

A FILTHY JAIL.
Afier a very careful ena>niuatiou
of oar jail, and after having received
all tin 1 information from same ofh'r

to make some recommendation whieli
to us arc painful We find the jail
has been very improperly kept and
grossly neglected; we find that the
prisoners confined there are treated
in a shameful an 1 inhuman manner.
Wo find that no spittoons arc pro*

sels, aie provided with which to
carry away the excrement and tilth

prisoners have been exposed to, and
live in a fearfully unhealthy atmos¬
phere, an 1 that Mu ir health is im¬
paired, or "likely to be, iinnaTod per¬
manently by this disgraceful state of
affairs. We find that the prisoners
have had constant intercourse wi n
the outside woild in such away as to
be funiished sv'lli tools and weapons.
We believe the recent escapes from
the i dl are due to gross carelessness
and negligence on the isirt ot the
jailer. We are informed that the
sheriff is now allowcc sixty cents a
day J board for each 1 prisoner, We
.
also learn that the jailer recceives ot
this amount forty J cents, and twenty
