The Atlanta exposition will com-
menee October 7th. and continue
four weeks. In addition to horses,
cattle and mules, there will be on ex¬
hibition, presidents of the two great¬
est republics in the world, the two
greatest living generals, governors
states and newspaper editors A
week will be devoted to each of the a-
bove classes, except, the four footed
animals are to have two weeks. The
first two weeks (the announcement
states) will be the exhibition of
horses, mules and jacks, also the gov¬
ernors of states, and Generals Joseph
E. Johnston and William T. Sherman.
The last two weeks cattle and swine
w ill be exhibited, together with Pres¬
ident s Harrison and Diaz, and editors.
The News thinks this is hardly fair;
many people may be able to attend
the first two weeks and not the last;
and while they may see the high step¬
ping horses, jacks, governors and
generals, they will not be able to view
the mild eyed jerseys, the dignified
presidents, the pluffy poland chinas,
and the ground and lofty tumbling
editors; But then the odd exhibition
of quadrupeds and bipeds will give
Atlaiua the biggest boom she has ‘ev¬
er had.

Mr. J. T. King, the gentlemanly
head clerk at King & Seilers visited
Atlanta this week on business and to
get a peep at Pompeii.
Mr. J. C. Edwards and family re¬
turned from Banks county Monday
where they have been for the last
Week and a half attending the bedside
of his sick mother and her funeral as
she departed this life on last Friday
bight, caused from a severe attack of
Meningetis.
P; J. Shore and family attended a
picnic at his sawmill down ih Banks
eounty last Saturday; they report it
as being a very enjoyable affair.
Two men were killed last Week on
the Richmond & Danville R. R. One
named Ben Clark, near Mt. Airy Fri¬
day night, and one named Bulger
Harris about one mile below Long¬
view. Harris bad left Banks count}’
some time last fall on account of war¬
rants that were against him, and he
and a negro named James Sisson who
left Clarksville court at the last term,
after the jury had gone out on a case
in which he was charged with the of¬
fence of an assau’t and battery, were
traveling back to Mt. Airy togeth er.
They had come on the train as far as
Lula, but as they did not want to be
seen by any one^ except their friends,
concluded to get off there and walk
the balance of the way, but before
leaving Lula purchased a bottle of
whiskey and commenced drinkingjso
by the time they got within a mile of
Longview, were both drunk. Harris
sat down upon the end of a cross tiv
and went to sleep,and Sisson came on
a few yards further and sat down up¬
on the end of a cross tie also,but soon
went to sleep and fell off, outside of
the track, but Harris, it is supposed
sa; on the tie and slept until the
through freight came along and struck
him, breaking his arm and leg, and
mashing him up generally; he was
struck about 11 o’clock Saturday
night and died about 7 o’clock Sun¬
day morning. Mr. P. T. Shore, a cit¬
izen of Longview, heard him hallow¬
ing about 3 o’clock in the morning
and went to him and found him in the
above described condition, and had
him removed to the depot at Long¬
view. The negro did not wake up
until after Mr.-Shore had found Har¬
ris. Sheriff Perkins went down and
secured Sisson as a boarder for Jailer
Smith. Harris «as brought to Mt.
Airy by the railroad authorities and
given it very neat burial.

“Mr. James L. J/ayfield, a farmer
«* living near tnis town, has been sick
gave him a day’s work. Eleven of
them carried mules and plows, though
only’ eight plows were run; The ei-
tra mules were used to haul manure.
Some put in guano; some put in "cot-
on seed, and by night Mr. Mayfie d’s
farm work was up with that of his
neighbors.”
“The farmer, the farmer forever.
Three cheers for the plow, spade
and hoe.”
If you live too far from the mill ;to
get cracked corn easily, raise the
dwarf pearl corn to feed to the clucks.
Ten acres of corn put into silo
will keep as many cattle as forty
acres treated in the ordinary way.
On very cold nights a large fl ick
will be more comfortable than a small
one, as there will be more warmth in
the poultry house.
If you are crowding the bogs with
a heavy corn ration, be sure they
have a full and free supply of char¬
coal, ashes and salt.
The great source of contagion is
