A meeting of the Congressional Commissioners ot the New Orleans Cotton Exposition was belt] in At- _ lanla last week to devise plans by wbiob the.State of Georgia shall bo represented bv an exhibition of its products at the Exposition in New Orleans next December. The State being geographically and geologl- _ oally divided into fonr grand divls. Iona, each having products peculiar to itself, it was decided to make four groupe in the Georgia exhibit —the groups io represent North, Middle, Southeast and Southwest Georgia. In these groups aro to « be placed tbo products of those sections. We expect to see a gen. crous rivalry between the eovcral •cottons, and we have faith to be- lleve that the people.of Southwest Georgia will see that their rich and favored section-is shown up to the best advantage, it is proposed to collect the articloe to lie'cxhibltcd together at the State Fair In Macen, and frem there ship them to New • Orleans. There are many reasons why our people should exert themselves to make a floe display of their pro ducts. They will be seen and con trasted with those of other sections by thousands of people from all parts ot the country, many of whom will be looking for a location in which to settle. There Is at this time a tide of emigration setting GEORGIA SEWS. from the North to the South, and those sections of the South which IWilollree, offer the greatest inducemenU wil , Hon. H. G.

And indeed lie had good reason to be proud for they gave promise of long lives of success and usefulness. Bat an evil day came. Ills young cst son, Willism, began to show signs of an early decay, no felt unusually tired each day, and would sometimes sleep tbo entire afternoon if permitted to do so. His head pained hint, not acutely, but widi it dull, heavy feeling. There vias a sinking sensation at the pit of Ids stomach, lie lost sli relish for (nod and much of his interest for tilings about Idm. He tried manfully to overcome these feelings, but they seemed stronger than his will. Ho began to lose flesh rapidly. Tho father became alarmed and consulted physiu acs ns to the cause of Ids son’s illness, but they were unable to explain. Finally severe sores broke out on his arms and he was taken to Buf falo where a painful ope.ation was performed resulting in the loss of muok blood but affording little re lief. The young man returned homo and n council of physicians was called. After an exhaustive examination they declared there was no hope of a final recovery and that ho must die with- in a very few days. To de scribe the agony which this an nouncement caused the father would be impossible. His mind tailed lo grasp its full meaning at Oral; then finally seemed to com prehend it, but the loud was too great. In nil agony of frsnzy.be seized a knife atd took bis ’own life, preferring death rather than to survive Ids idolized son. At that time William llindge wsstoo weak to know what was transpiring. His (ace had turned black, Ids breath ceased entirely at limes, and bis Wends waited lor Ids death be Moving that tbe flend Bright’s dis ease of the kidneys, from which lie wus suiruring, could not be remov ed. In this supreme moment Wil Ham’s sister came forward and de clared she- would make a Anal at tempted to savo her brother. The doctors interposed, assuring her it was useless and that sho would only hasten tho end by the moans she proposed to employ. But sho was firm, and putting all back, ap preached her brother’s side and ad ministered n remedy which she for tunately had on hand. Within an hour lie seemed more easy, and before tho day was over ho showed signs of decided improvement. 1’heso favorable signs continued, and to-day William B. Rindge is well, having been virtually raised from tbe dead through tne marvel ous power of Warner's Safe Cure, as can bo readily verified by any citizen ol Cortland. Any one who reflects upo.i tbo facts above described must have a feeling ot sadness. The fatber, dead by Ids own band, supposing bis son’s recovery lo be impossible; the son restored to health to mourn the loss of his fatber and tbo ago nized relatives with a memory of sadness to forever darken their lives. Had Clinton Kindge known that Ids son could recover lie would to-day bo alive and happy, but tbe facts which turned Ids brain and caused him to commit suicide were such as any one would accept as true. However sad this case may be. tember, 1886; those between thirty and thirty-five in September, 1888, and tlioso under thirty yearsof age in 1890.
