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.

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.
