Ohio, one of the ricncrd, and wisest, and ot the western states, comes here t Gc- rgia. dhe comec to our exposi tion. and we hope it is worthy of her. I le pe you will remain with ur long enough to see that Georgia we’comes you with open arms. We would know each other better, unite mo o harmoniously and work tc gotlier in a, common purpose for tin good of our whole county. - I fear' that Virginia’s claims to thb title of mother of statesmen has been taken from her, for we have looked with pleasure toward Ohio who has fur nished ys with statesmen worthy of highest commendation. We unite with you in mourning the death of your distinguished citizen in whom we all felt a common interest. Let that mutual sorrow join us .more closely. Georgia to-day wouUfl wel-, come you. Georgia would have you to be united with her more closely thgyr in the past. Ladies and gen tlemen, 1 cordially hoartiPy welcome you to Georgia.” At.the close of Colo; el 1 nynton’s address, Mr. J.

Had we expect ed to be welcomed < otherwise we would not have been The warmth of the reception has, how ever, taken 113 by surprise. We have 110 representative of the talk toss tolTnow who will speak for us. Speaking Cincinnati, I can only say that she has demonstrated her anx iety to establish friendly relations with the south. We have bridged rivers, crossed ravines, tunnelled mountains and laid an iron band between us. One that ought to have enabled us tp reach you within fourteen hours, but we did not do it owing to an accident. It was not the managers fault, however. I will simply ask Mr. Dalton, 011 c of our party to see if he can respond to your cordial welcome.” . Mr. James Dalton, of Cincinnati, then arose and said : “Mr. Chairman a id Gi ntlemen of the Expositior, Lauies and Gentle men : I was not aware that I would be called upon to say a wml on this aecasion, I can only say on be half of the delegation that repre sents our state and city, we are glad to meet you.

This is mv first visit to Atlanta, the first glimpse I ever had of the great state of Georgia, and as we came 0 er the beautiful valley between Chatta nooga and here it seemed to mo it was a bed of flowers, being igno rant that I was looking upon the fields of white cotton. I only hope to be able to take one of the boquets with me when I go hack to Cincin nati. We have come here to your' own grand exposition, grand in its conception, and will be glorious in its success. You have evidenced by this, by the mechinery, by the products of agriculture, by the min eral wealth displayed that Georgia is one of the great. 'states of this great country. We feel that we are one great people. We felt when we started the Southern road that we would bind Atlanta to us by the tighest bands, and when we com pleted the road we ha# done so. Like Atlanta, the city of Cincinnati is a commercial city, an inland city. Wo have one common interest with you —we want your cotton and we will give you our machinery for it.

Web Mr. Editor, one oi our fel low beings, wishing to consign us to a probation of punishment, by ■ay of abuse asked us to, "go to dike, and judging from the humor whenco the invitation come we ielt that such a trip would be anything bnt pleasant, but as wo ba-1 been confined to business for several months missing all the “big 5 ' sing* i xga or swingings, as Sain Jones calls them, we concluded we would wake the trip to Pike. Everything being made ready foi a few days stay from home we left o Li lone cottage by ths stream late in the afternoon, just in time to end the night with our noble hearted triend (and brother) C. F- Ethridge. The night being spent ifi pleasant dreams in anticipation of meeting old friends mu forming new acquaintances in the much abused Pike. Next morning, we kissed our ‘babe’ 5 adieu, and mounted behind a span of horses, soon we found ourself on the platform of the store at High FaiH, calling for a cigar to Sceep up steam to the next station which was Unionviile, which place is known bv a wide place in the to ad; a store, and a finger board, passsing on we next came to Liber ty J till, here things are more lively as they have a steam gin to keep up a ‘fuss. Being in five miles of Mil ner we pulled our reiiio and put our team to time and reached Milner just in time to get a glimpse of the departing train, as .it .moved off with a delegation qfcoloied Baptists for the Association at Griffin. After a short stay with friends at this I soon found myself at the hospital home of Mr. George Swann, two miles beyond Milner where tvo partook of a bountiful and much relished dinner, we were more than glad to, meet Mo’ilie (his wife) who lived for many years our neighbor, and we \ know of many trials and responsibilities she has undergone, ihrqngjijsdl of which she has proved ‘heregif one oi the moat worthy, we' cannot pas her; little sister, Nannig .unnoticed, she recognized 11 a and irtet us at the gate with a smile and a. kiss, and we say god bless her for we know how to anpreciato the condition of the motherless child. dime having sw !we must de pan we soon found our .self at Zebu lon the county site of Pike, along lbe read we pass some beaut hoi farms that seem to be in an iinpov ed condition, and good corn and cotton crops on them. Leaving Zebulon for Concord the place of destination, we pass over six miles of beautiful road and cur journey is ended for the day. This little place has a very nice appearance, some very nice dwellings,two stores, grist -mill, cotton gin, and a (Hard Shell) Baptist church and as such churches doift exist in town we sup pose the town or church one or the other will have to be moved before the town can be incorporated. we spent the night with an old friend who knows exactly how' to extend old fashione G( rgia hos pitality, and after partaking of his hospitality, we took a stroll around the village accompanied, by Miss Mollie and Johnii, for the purp oso of extending our acquaintance and arranging for a trip to Mount Olives the next day, and on the morning according to agreement, we met our newly made friend at the appointed rhour and proceed fcmtbwflrcl to ward the mountains over a beauti* ful country a distance of seven mi let v c reach the church, this church hr ; ; a membership of two hundred or : 1 fifty.
