Our read era will inoht probably notice the scarcity ol editorial and local matter, but they will excuse uh this one time from the fact the exposition in somewhat bigger than The ('ouhant-Americax. Two big things can’t tie run successfully atone and the same time, not to nay anything of the great Cleveland attraction. We’ve suc cumbed Will bring order out of chaos by our next week Excuse us We’ve gone to see Mrs President Cleveland lyid Mr. ('lrover Cleveland. The fall of (Jen. Boulanger has been one of the mostcomplete and sensational in French history. Two months ago he was the idol of perhaps three fourths of the French nation. To-day his arrest for criticising his superior officer, the .Minister of War, produces scarcely a ripple on the current of French politics. The railroads have, indeed, declared that they would make him a candidate for the chamber of Deputies if his removal from command in the army was made perma nent. But there is not the slightest probability that they could elect him. France often been untort unate in its con spicuous public servants. In Boulanger’s case, however, that country is fortunate in discovering the true character of its favorite, while yet that discovery could come unaccompanied by national dis aster. At the door of one of Chicago’s most fashionable churches Sunday, in the presence of an assembling congregation, William Lee, a youth of seventeen, five times shot his step-father, Stephen W Ilawson, President of the Union Trust Company, of Chicago. For more than a year liawson and his wife, young Fee’s mother, have been fighting each other in the divorce courts, the wife averring that her husband was a perjurer, while he retorted that she was “a disreputa ble, blasphemous, devilish-tempered ad venturess ” Within a week Ilawson had filed an amended petition, charging his wife with adultery. It was for this that the young man shot him Ilawson, who is an old man and a millionaire, was a prominent member of the Third Presby terian church, at the door of which he was shotas he left his carriage Mrs. Ilawson is a beautiful woman, of middle age and prominent in society. Her son, who has probably divorced her, as one of Itawson's wounds is doubtless fatal, was taken to prison at his own request immediately after the shooting. His mother, when told of the crime, said she was glad of it, as Ilawson deserved it. A Rambling Talk. The Piedmont fair in a rushing success. It is more than a success. It was big from the start. Its growth has been un parallelled. Monday night it began to get too big. It swelled and swelled and swelled, until it became unwieldy and al most unmanageable. The ruin came down in sluices. It had the effect on the crowd that water has on dried apples; the swell was continuous. Shelby Atta way suys on Monday of the first week if the crowd got any bigger it would “bust.” On Tuesday of this week his prediction was verified. There were evidence of a bust on Monday. On Tuesday it came. On that day as Sam lfrowu would say, “it busted and run all over itself.” Such a scene has never before been looked upon, and will never again be duplicated. There is no need to say how many people were in Atlanta. A wild estimate would be one hundred thousand visitors; a rea sonable estimate would place the figures at one hundred and twenty-five thou sand ; there may have been one hundred and fifty thousand. Enough to say nothing like it was ever seen before in these parts. Atlanta did all she could, but she was pressed too hard. An old negro expressed the situation exactly when he said Atlanta wasn’t equal to the include. In the language oi Attaway. she had busted. But with it all the peo- ple weie jolly and patient, nothing could daunt the enthusiasm or spoil the fun. On such a day as Tuesday who cared for the rain and mud? Who would let a few hundred thousand people keep him in doors when a President—a real live Dem ocratic President was on parade? Who would let anything keep him away from the best show ever seen in the South or anywhere else for that matter? And so they swayed and swelled and throbbed, and moved along right merrily. And what of the show? Why, it is just splen did! That was the universal verdict. Nobody was disappointed, and nobody had a right to be. It is useless to go into details over such a grand exhibit —there is too much to be told or even to be seen. How about Bartow county? She has done the clean thing and no mistake. A more varied or more satisfactory exhibit of resources has not been made than that from our own sounty. You see Bartow practically has threeexhibits—thecouuty exhibit, the Etowah Company's exhibit, and the display of the Dade Coal Com pany. They are all well selected, well arranged ami well talked up. No other Georgia county can at all compare with ours in minerals; and it really looks like we have outstripped anything on the grounds. Even Alabama, with all her booms and boasted mineral wealth, is not ahead of us. Men from all sections of the country stand around among our minerals and look and wonder. They don’t somehow seem to quite realize that this is in fact the doings of a Georgia county. 1 won’t make any predictions as to what will tie the result of this. There is no telling. It may end with the looking and wondering, but nobody be lieves it will, and it is not reasonable to believe that it will so end. There is money in the country sreking in vestment. There are men at Atlanta seeking infor mation as to the pluces where invest ments can Ik* profitably Our re sources are displayed there. They are being looked at, talked about and w ritten up. We of the county know that the display is not overdone, that we have mountains and hills full of just as good material as that on exhibition. Hence it is only reasonable to hope that splendid results will follow this Piedmont fair for our section, and if talking up a show is worth anything Bartow will reap more than any of them. We are especially fortunate in the men we have on the grounds. They are awake and hustling. All seekers after truth are promptly served George Aubrey is doing his work handsomely. No man around the fair grounds hasdonebis duty better. He works more than he talks It is business with him first and last. George knows the county and its resources. He shows his wares and talks them up as earnestly as if he were in some private enterprise and the profits were all going into his own pockets. And there is Capt. Henry MeCormick. with his broad, happy fat e and genial hand-shnke, who is constantly on the move uid doinghisfull share. lie passes out the Bartow pamphlets and praises the Bartow exhibit in a way that makes the passers take the one and hear the ot her gladly These two men are always on the spot and are making—have already made — our show the leading success of the fair. Capt Tom Lyon is the best talker in Georgia. This statement is made ad visedly, There isn’t another man in the State who can touch him on telling a good story, and when it comes down to talking business he just simply leads the whole caravan. I saw him in Atlanta Monday and Tuesday and he was doing the thing proud He has hel|*ed to make the Piedmont fair the greatest success of the age. and he is going to top off on the State fair next week. When he returns to his home the jieople of this county ought to give him an ovation and call him out for a sjwecli. He has talked for Bartow county and for North Georgia, first, last and all the time; and lie ought now to tell the home-folks his experience and let them know how well he can talk. Bob Pattillo has divided his time be tween booming Bartow and wearing his uniform, and he is a pronounced success at both. He covers the whole territory and does it in great style He is every where, sees everybody, makes you feel happy and inspires confidence wherever he touches General P. M. B. Young has filled a place at the fair that could not have been tilled by anyone else His quality of leadership is so natural and so becoming that he can accomplish great things without an apparent effort. He made a splendid success out of the military fea ture of the fair No man in Georgia could have done it so well. His praises are on every lip. He has been cheered and applauded on every hand The boys who followed him long ago have yelled themselves hoarse when he has appeared along the line. I saw him enter the Kim ball house Monday night with the Presi dent leaning on his arm and I thought him the handsomest man 1 had ever seen. He is a princely man, and has borne a princely part in this great show But I must end here The paper is full and the boys are begging me to stop. The type is exhausted and the press is choking.

She Becomes a Belle and Falls in Love with Her Own Brother —The Denoue ment —Her Reason Dethroned. From the Brooklyn Times.] In a little white frame cottage on Lib erty avenue, near Wyckoff street, in the town of New’ Lots, twenty-seven years ago, lived Louis Hart and his wife Cath erine. They had four remarkably pretty children. Three were boys, and the other, the youngest, Marguerite, was a beautiful little girl but 18 months old She, of course, was the pet of the family. The father of this interesting family was a hard-working man, and earned but small wages, barely sufficient to supply the necessaries of life. In addi tion to this lie was a brush maker by trade. Next door to the Harts lived a middle aged gentleman by the name of Edward Wilder. This Wilder was a rich man. His East New York residence he occupied only a few months in summer. His win ter quarters were in New 7 York City, not far from'Fifth avenue. He formerly had a butcher stand in Washington Market, w here, after years of patient labor, he amassed a competence He then retired from business. Some lucky investments in real estate made him a millionaire. Mr. Wilder, although passionately fond of children, hail no little ones of his own. He often called upon the Hart family, and admired the little Marguerite. He had noticed the struggles of the family to keep the wolf from the door, and ob served with sorrow that the poor man’s strength was unequal to the tasks im posed upon it. The baby antics of the little Marguerite had also worked upon his affections, and a great love for the little one arose in his heart. One day Mr. Hart returned from his work sick in body and mind. Destitu tion stared him in the face. His rich neighbor’s sympathy was aroused, and, calling upon Mr. Wilder, the latter made a proposition to him. He stated how he had become attached to little Marguer ite, how he had noticed their circumstan ces, and wound up by offering to adopt the little one. The poor man could not bring himselt at once to let the child go, and asked for time to consider the matter. But Mr. Wilder had set his heart upon gaining possession of the little one, and offered to settle an annuity upon the boys if his proposition were accepted. He also offered to divide between the boys a val uable plot of land lying in the northern part of New York State. He stipulated that when he should once have posses sion of the child it should never again be reclaimed by its parents under any cir cumstances, and that Marguerite should never be made acquainted with the fact that he wiuj other than her own father. Quite an affecting scene ensued. The parents did not want to let the child go, but at last came to the conclusion that it was the best thing under the niremn stnnces and gave the child into Mr. Wilder's keeping. Mr. Wilder immediately took Marguer ite to his New Y ork establisjnent, and she grew up to be a very beautiful young woman, admired by all. She was of the blonde type, with deep blue eves and golden hair, and skin like alabaster. Her figure was sujierb. She was the belle of her set, and many were her suitors. BuUshe hud not as yet met her affinity. In the summer of 1883 her father took her to Newport, where she was the ac knowledged belle. It was generally known that she was an heiress, and that, with her lieauty, brought many suitors to her feet. Among them was a hand some young Lieutenant of the United States navy. He was a young man with many virtues and but few faults. He was a frequent attendant at divine ser vices. They m-t at the church. A mu tual reciprocation sprang up betweeu the young people, and they were often seen upon the sands of Newport enjoying one another’s society. They were a hand some couple, ad mi ml by all. but envied by none. Society began to whisper it was a mutch. Society for once was right. The friendship of the young couple in course of time ripened into a warmer feeling, and one beautiful moon light night the young man rose to the occasion and the inevitable “proposal" was made. Marguerite had been exjiect ing this for some time, but, like a dutiful daughter, asked for time to consider her answer, and in the meantime referred the whole matter to her father. Her reasons for so doing were that she was an heiress and he was comparatively poor. People would look upon this as a misalliance. She was not sum but that her supposed father might also. Mr. Wilder listened attentively to Marguerite's story, and at the conclusion he smiled, and. clasping her to his bosom, kissed her, at the same time assuring her that if lie found the young man's charac ter and antecedents to be satisfactory, his poverty need be no bar to the con summation of their happiness. That same day Mr. Wilder went out and did not return until late. He ap peared to be “depressed and went to bed without saving a word. The next day at the breakfast table he proposed to his little family that they take a trip to Europe. Marguerite had noticed his al tered manner, and when this proposition was made she understood it as meaning that her father would not give his con sent to her marriage, and her heart failed her for the moment. There was something wrong. She asked him for his answer. Mr. Wilder evaded her ques tionings as long as he could, but when she stated that if she did not get his con sent to their union she would leave her supposed parents and go to her lover, the old man was obliged to divulge the secret of years, and informed her that the man she loved was her own brother, Frederick Hart. The poor girl fainted. When she came to she was delirious. She was removed to her bed, where she remained for sev eral weeks, and when she arose it was seen that her brain was seriously affected; Her lover’s name was constantly on her lips. When Mr.-Wilder started out to in quire into the young man’s character and found that he was noiie other than his adopted daughter’s own brother, Fred Hart, he was stunned. The young man was made acquainted with the fact of his relationship and took it to heart. A few days afterwards his body was found in the river. After Marguerite had recovered suffi ciently to bear' the news, her adopted parents told her of the death other lover. She became affected with melancholia, and has gradually grown worse, until now it is thought necessary to place her in some institution where she will receive proper treatment and possibly recover. With that end in view Mr. Wilder visi ted a well known medical expert in this city yesterday and arrangements were made for placing her a private institu tion in this county.

Wells, Richardson A Cos., Burlington, VL Women and Mont Blanc. Sixty-one women in all have made tht ascent of Mont Blanc. “The fact is tes tified.” says a correspondent of Galignani, ‘•by the antique register religiously kept at the office of the guides at Chamonix, as everybody may see for himself. The look is a more faithful record than one might expect. Just as on some ill fated precipice on the Alps a wooden cross marks the sjx>t where a too adventurous climber lias met his death, so here a lugubrious cross is set against the name of every victim who has failed to reach his journey’s end, and the oft recurring formula, -Requiescat in pace.’ may i>er haps account for the reluctance with which the book is shown to intending ex cursionists. “The first female ascent of the giant of the Alps was made by two French women, one of aristocratic and the other of ple beian birth. Their example was quickly followed in after seasons, and in the end the record stands as follows: English women. 32; French women, 15; Russian women, 4; American women, 3; Swiss women, 2, and Prussian, Danish, Hun garian, Italian and Austrian, 1 each. Eleven of these ladies accompanied their lmslKinds. The mania for making ascents, through evil and good report, has this year been rather conspicuous, the excur sions to the summit having numbered thirty-nine as against an average of eleven. The French on this occasion have taken the lead, followed not very closely by Englishmen and English women, and still further off by Ameri cans and Germans. Most of the French who have ventured forth to the summit are members of the Alpine club, while those of other nationalities depend for tl e most part upon their own resources or ilvi counsel of guides.”—Pall Mall Gazette. The Value of Pure Coffee. Mr. W. J. Haaimond, engineer and general manager of the Western Sao Paulo railway company, Brazil, bears pleasant witness to the virtues of coffee and strongly denounces the use of adul terants. Many people will be able to in dorse liis high opinion of the value of “strong, pure, black coffee as a stimu lant when the body is run down through physical labor, ” but liis assertion that, beyond this stimulating power, coffee has great disinfecting properties and is used by many who have to travel through miasmatic districts as a preventive against fevers will be new to many. He states that the Rev. Father Kene lam Vaughan, who but a few years back made a journey by land from Panama down to the River Plate, passing in and among and over the Andes during a space of three years, used coffee alone as a stimulant, although he had once to run the gauntlet through a long, rock bound valley in Colombia in which the water remained stagnant year after year, and the narrowness of the gorge prevented sufficient sunlight and heat from entering to dispel the vapors. When asked what he took in this horrible place, called by the natives by the significant name of Valley of Death, he replied: “Why, cof fee, of course!” The same gentleman also reports that since the natives in the pestilential districts near Guayaquil, in Ecuador, have substituted coffee for their former beverages the death rate has fallen very considerably.—Home Knowl edge. Origin of the G. *. K. Its originator was Dr. Benjamin F. Stephenson, a physician of Springfield, Ills., who had served as surgeon in the Fourteenth Illinois infantry during the war. He first suggested the idea in Feb ruary, 1866. Published accounts state that Decatur, Ills., was the birthplace of the order, but the only living comrade of the four who were present at the first muster and mutually took the obligation, according to the ritual Dr. Stevenson had prepared, says that it was founded at Springfield. The first formal organization of a post occurred, however, beyond question, on Afuil 6, 1866, at the village of Decatur, which contained only forty-three Union soldiers. Among the originators of the Grand Army of the Republic were Messrs. Col trin and Pryor, proprietors of The Deca tur Tribune, and their compositors, who printed the first ritual of the Grand Army, as written by Dr. Stephenson. Soon after Post No. 2 was formed at Springfield, and others were quickly in stituted throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana. Ohio, lowa and Missouri. On July 12, 1866, the first department encampment was held at Springfield, Ills. John M. Palmer was elected department commander.—New A’ork Herald. A Serenade in Dahom.-y. That night, perhaps, as a soother to my nerves, the king gave us a serenade by his own private band. I was awakened about midnight by a noise that I can com pare to nothing but a thunderstorm in scales. They ran from high to low, and got terribly mixed in the middle. It was not really unpleasant, but, like the chim ing of bells, should be heard at a distance —the greater the distance the better. I sprang to the window to find that this band consisted of twenty-two men, each with a log or piece of wood, the largest so heavy that it took four men to carry it. These were set, one end on the ground, the other supported by a wooden trestle, and beaten on the high end with wooden hammers, of all sizes, from the hand hammer to a sledge, each stick of log emitting its sound, but no distinguishable air resulting.—North American Review.

The llaiie of House wives—Where He Comes from and " hat He Kats. The roach h;es Ikh-ix the faithful at tendant ot humanity ever since written history begaxi, but the abominable extent of this faithfulness lias arisen in civilized communities chiefly within recent times. There is a roach, a little, outdoor, inno cent kind, that is supposed to be in digenous in this country. It lives in the fields, under stones and rubbish, and is good food for birds. But the common cockroach of the home and fireside came from the Levant in ships and bales of merchandise to England, of which coun try Wood, the writer on bugs, says. ‘-it luls completely taken possession.” At first, as in this country, it was confined to seaport towns, but the climate in the neighborhood of kitchen fires suited it, and the drippings about the kitchen sinks gave it the moisture which is as essential to it as food, and so it strayed and spread, coming across the sea to America quickly, and staying and spreading here, too, un til the nuisaneeof its presence, which has increased every year, lias reached in New York and other large cities along the coast an extent that is almost intoler able. The kitchen tires long since ceased to satisfy the desires of its soul. It has followed water and steam pipes all over buildings of every sort. Office buildings and‘stores are as much overrun with the insects as dwellings. The only relief is in the constant kilting of them, and there are men in New York who make a busi ness, and a profitable one, of ridding hotels and large private houses of the jiests. Even this professional work does no permanent good, but only brings re lief for a time. The roach is, entomologicallv speaking, an Ortlioptera. In plain English he be longs to the grasshopper family. Scien tifically he is a blatta orientalis, and has four wings that he doesn’t use, and that are absent entirely in the females of most species, a black or reddish brown body that reaches an inch in length if the bug isn’t killed first. Long, awl shaped antenna?, each with eighty joints, decorate his head. The bugs will eat al most anything they can find. Flour, bx-ead, meat, clothes and shoes are some of their delicacies. In dwellings their usual forage is the crumbs and other leavings of the kitchen and table. They are essentially nocturnal, disappearing into chinks and crevices the moment a light appears, but of late they have be come so abundant in New York that the chinks and crevices won’t hold them, and they are perforce seen much around during the daylight. The roach is not as rapid a breeder as many other insects, but it seems to have remarkable success in raising families. The eggs are laid in a little bean-shaped capsule, three-eighths of an inch long and half as w-ide. In this the eggs, about thirty in number, lie like peas in a pod for several days, when the pod opens at one side and lets the little, soft, white baby roaches out, after which it closes tight again and gives no sign that the eggs are not within as before. The fe males, before the eggs are hatched, draw the egg sac around behind them wher ever they go, and their appearance with this appendage has excited much interest among kitchen amateurs in bugologv. After the young are hatched, the female is said to brood over them somewhat^ as a lien does. In tlu-ee or four days the ) oung bug turns from white to brown and is ready for business. A peculiarly disagreeable feature of tlio roach is the bad habit it has of discharg ing from its mouth a dark colored liquid that has a most disgusting smell. Every place which the insects frequent becomes in time impregnated with this nauseous odor, which sometimes is so powerful that it sensibly affects the flavor of pro visions that have been left in larders in which roaches are plentiful. Another kind of roach is officially known as the ectobia Germanica, and is peculiarly fond of Boston, where it is known as the “Croton Lug.” This insect has got over the nocturnal habits of the ordinary roach. It goes around fx-eely in daylight, and for real solid meals prefers wheat bread. Asa light lunch it is par tial to cloth bound books. Leather bound books it will not touch. In Lapland they have the blatta lap ponica, smaller than the common roach,, but with such astonishing voracity that they frequently devour in one day the entire stock of dried fish in a Laplander’s cabin. Fully as voracious are a sort of roaches that infest ships. It sometimes occurs that the steward going to open a l.ox of crackers finds inside nothing but a mass of roaches. In St. Petersburg it has been necessary to destroy houses that had been made uninhabitable by roaches. There are in all some 1)00 different roaches that have been caught and cata logued. A large section of the world is still to hear from. With all his manifold vices it is pleasant to know that the roach is not altogether bad. There yet remains in the breast of even the fattest and ugliest roach that ever spoiled a custard pie one sentiment sprung from the heaven born heart of those fiery swords from which his race is descended. Though innumerable dam aged dinners, ruined luncheons without end and an uncounted host of breakfasts made odious by his unwelcome presence be charged up against him; though many firesides have been desolated by him and numberless pantries laid waste, yet let there, in justice, lie set against lus name one legend of righteousness—the roach eats bedbugs. Many things eat roaches. Birds and all insectivorous animals are especially fond of them. Hedgehogs dote on them. In England hedgehogs are sometimes kept in kitchens on purpose to devour the roaches. It is also said that in the Isle of France there exists a sort of sand wasp that preys upon roaches. —New York Bun. Something: tor Furniture Maker*.

The stocking resembles a mitten, having a separate place for the great toe.

They are not worn in the house, as they would injure the soft straw mats on the floor. You leave your shoes’at the door. Every house is built with refer ence to the number of mats required for the floors, each room having from eight to sixteen, and in taking lodgings you pay so much for a mat. They think it extravagant in us to require a whole room to ourselves. The Japanese shoe gives perfect free dom to the foot. The beauty of the hu man foot is only seen in the Japanese. They have no corns, no ingrowing nails, no distorted joints. Our toes are cramped until they are deformed and are in danger of extinction. They have the full use of their toes, and to them they are almost like fingers. Nearly every mechanic makes use of his toes in holding his work. Every toe is fully developed. Their shoes cost one penny and last six months.— Merchant World. Wall Paper and Window Shades, large stock just reeeived, at Wikle’s Book Store, to be sold at \ cry lowest prices. The treatment of many thousands of eases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing: ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladies. Dr. Pierce’* Favorite Frescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimo nials, received from patients and from physi cians who have tested it in the more aggra vated and obstinate cases which had baffled their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a “cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman’s peculiar ailments. Asa powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to tne whole system, and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, ‘ worn-out,” r ’run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” house keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally. Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. Asa soothing and strengthening nervine, “Favorite Prescription” is une qualed ana is invaluable in allaying and sub duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex haustion. prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms com monly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de spondency. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys pepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small doses, will prove very beneficial. “ Favorite Prescription ” is a posi tive cure for the most complicated and ob stinate eases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruate-n, unnatural suppressions, prolapsus, or fulling of the womb, weak back, ‘‘female weakness,” anteversion, retroversic x, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with “ internal heat.” _ Asa regulator and promoter of func tional action, at that critical period of change from girlhood to womanhood, “Favorite Pre scription” is a perfectly safe remedial agent, and can produce only good results. It is equally efficacious and valuable in its effects when taken disorders and derange ments that later and most critical period, known as “ The Change of Lite.” “Favorite Prescription,” when taken in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder diseases. Their combined use also removes blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofulous humors from the system. “Favorite Prescription” is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manu facturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded.
