Where to Find Him.
Mr. R. T. Byrd is at present
cuconced in a hole in the Com
mercial liouae, behind a lot of
rough plank and a pile of brick
and mortar, but that does not
prevent him from issuing policies
or insurance in the leading life and
lire companies, and selling flour
and meat by the car-load, or sup
plying planters with the best
make* oi cotton gins. In a few
flays the carpenters and masons
*111 be through with their work in
front of his door, and then he will
have one of the neatest offices in
the city. He wants you to remom-
•«r, in the meanwhile, that his
°®ee is in the Commercial House,

Ulu Ayoook’s bowk store.
Georgia at New Orleans.
Captain John A. Cobb returned
home Wednesday night. As com
missioner of tbe third congression
al district lor tbe New Orleans ex
hibition, be attended a meeting of
district and county commissioners
at Atlanta on Tuesday, held for the
purpose of ascertaining what bad
been done toward raising the nec
essary money to give Qeorgia a
proper display at tbe exposition,
and to consult as to tbe best means
for procuring it. From him we
learned that no money had been
raised outside ol the $5,000 prom
ised from the national fund of the
exposition, and after a full discus
sion of plans for raising the addi
tional $5,000 necessary to make a
proper display, a resolution was
adopted making the district com
missioners a finance committee.
They arc to request the county
commissioners to open subscrip
tion books in every county, and to
bring the question before the peo
ple as industriously as possible.
On the first of October the district
commissioners arc to report to
United States Commissioner Ba
con, who will then see what means
are at his disposal, and can deter
mine what to do. All money sub
scribed is to be available within
thirty days.
In accordance with this resolu
tion, a public meeting will he held
at the court house in this city next
Tuesday at 10 a. m., for toe pur
pose of seeing what amount ol
money can he raised in this county
lor securing nn exhihit at New Or
leans. We hope to see a full at
tendance at this meeting, for what
is done must he done promptly,
and our wliole people should he
interested in this mni.tcr.
Georgia alone, of all Southern
states, failed to make a state ap
propriation for the purpose ol mak
ing a proper exhibition ol its re
sources at the great New Orleans
exposition, and it is left for the
people of the state to individually
make up the necessary funds. It
will be a burning shame if Georgia,
the “Empire State of the South,"
shall he unrepresented at this great
national exhibition. The peoplo
of other states have long ago found
out the value of such exhibitions
in attracting population and capi
tal, and they arc all making prep
arations for a handsome display at
New Orleans, knowing that the
outlay will he fully repaid by the
addition to their population and
wealth that will accrue from it.

erally, arc hereby notified tiiat 1

Send in Your Names.
As we have found it impossible
to thoroughly canvass the city for
subscriptions to the Daily Recoh-
deb in the short lime nllotcd for
the purpose, we would ask all who
have not yet subscribed, and wish
to, to call or send in their subscrip
tions to lids olllce. We hope to
have upon the list the name of
every man doing business in the
city, as we believe the enterprise
deserves the unanimous support of
our people. It is inteuded to be,
and we think will be, a benefit to
the city in more ways than one.
Just in proportion to the support
we receive can-we make the paper
interesting and valuable. The Rb-
cobder has at all times worked for
the interests of Amcricus, and we
feel that It deserves the cordial
support of our people, and now Is
the time for them to show their ap
preciation of it. het us have all

Brother Latimer, of the Lump

fish Btory of the season. Here U
“Several days ago when the wa
ter was drawn from Mr. Overby’s
mill pond a party of flshermon
seined the creek just below the
mill. In the lot of fish caught was
a German Carp that weighed 18
pounds. About three years ago
Mr. Overby placed a few carp, only
a few inches in length in his pond
and this extra fine specimen caught
shows the wonderful growth of this
species of fish. Mr. R. J. Grimcr
left one or the scales from the carp
at this olllce, which is nearly as
lurge as the bottom of on ordinary
