Mi, !.,“ 0nr .l.. 8 - , !. , „ * “,. )!!! Now Orleani Kxpositlon, a meet-
ing was held by the Exposition
Commissioners in Atlanta a few
days ago, when it was resolved to
appeal to the patriotism of the peo
ple of Georgia and raise by private
subscription a sufficient sum to
make a creditable State exhibit.
In response to this call, a public
meeting was called in Americus
last Tuesday, at vrhioli meeting a
committee was appointed to solioit
subscriptions. The committee, in
connection with Capt. Jno. A.
Cobb, Commissioner for the die*
trict, made a hurried canvass of
the city, and at noon on Friday
reported subscriptions amounting
to over $300. They generally met
with a willing and liberal response,
and the sum will be still further
increased by the 1st o( October.
This action on the part of our peo
ple shows that they are enterpris
ing, patriotic and alive to the in
terests of tiieir section.
Americus having thus set the
ball in motion, <ve hope to see its
example followed by every town
in the Third Congressional dis
trict, so that our Commissioner
can report a handsome sum at the
mectiug of the Commissioners in
Oetolicr. The time is short, and
what is done should be done
promptly. Now let the people of
Oglethorpe, Montezuma, Marshall-
ville, Fort Valley, Perry, Cochran,
Hawkinsville, Eastman, McRea,
Vienna, Ellaville, Preston, Lump
kin and all other towns in the dis
trict respond promptly to the call
and send in their returns to Capt.
Cobb. Let the Third district be
the first to contributo its quota to
this patriotic cull, and show their
devotion to the interests of their
section. Crpt Cobb, tho Commis
sioner, is doing all in his power to
sec that Georgia’s reputation shall
not suffer in competition with oth
er States at the great world's ex
position, and bis oflorts should bo
seconded by every County Com
missioner in the district. A few
hours spent in the work will ac
complish inneh, and they should be
put in at, oucc.

Those in the city who are unfor
tunate enough to own cows would
do well to remember that the cow
ordinance goes into elicet on the

six months.
If the demand for labor by the

We yesterday received the first
number of tho Amkhicvs Daily 11b-

appealauce, it starts out with the
assurance of success. The editor
of the Hkcokdbji spoke skeptically
of our enterprise in boginning the
publication of the Daily Gazette.
Wc were a little surprised to see
that ho has followed our example
so early. Wc are, however, from a
month's experience with thn Daily
Gazette, able to say that wc have
succeeded beyond our expecta
tions, and that wc lucl no uneasi
ness about the enterprise sustain
ing itself. The editor of the Re

in changing his trl-Weekly to a

The wildest speculations ol Wall
Street have not more varying* ol
luck, hope, disappointment and
sorrow than the seductive business
of trading a "boss.” There is a
peculiar fascination about it com
mon to nothing else on earth.
Shakespear evidently did not refer
to horse trading when lie wrote:
"It is better to endure tbu present
ills than fly to those wc know not
of." It is |oy unspeakable to im
pose the "present Ills'’ ol your
horse upon your neighbor, and tho
average horse-trader will generally
take tho risk on those lie "knows
not ol," especially if there is some
“boot" iu the matter.
An incident well illustrating the
subject occurred on our streets a
tew day* since. A darkey acquaiu-
tonce ofours, iu«l after making a
trade, approached us with a grin.
Wo inquired tho pause of bis hap
piness. He replied: "Boss, you
know dat old foundered, so’-footed
mule oh mine, dat want no count
fur nothin? Well, I’se dun swap
ped her oil fur a One mare an' live

Early peas and potatoes have

of an impressive character. The
day is called "Rosh Hoshamiah,’’
and is on the first and second days
of the month Tishri. It is also
called Yom Hazikoron, a day ot
memorial and feasts of trumpets,
ns a sacrifice instead of Isaac. It
is s holy convocation on which no
servile work is to ho done. From
tlie first to the tenth are called
Penitential days.
In the service of the festival
prayers of a three-fold nature are
offered—of homage, of remem-
brancu and of sounding the trum
pet. These embody invocations
that mankind may arrive at a true
knowledge of the Creator, His
beneficence, His omniscience, and
His providence. Every tine Isra
elite comprehends the observance
ol the day with proper feelings,
inherited from childhood. “And
tho liOTd said unto Moses, saying:
‘Speak onto the children of Israel.
Say in the seventh month, and on
the first day of the month, shall ye
have a Sabbath, a memorial of
blowing of trumpets and holy con
vocation, and ye shall do no ser
vile work.’ ’’ Also in Numbers:
“And in the seventh month and on
the first day of the month shall ye
have a rest, a day of memorial, of
sounding the cornet, a holy convo
cation; no servile work shall ye do;
a day of blowing the cornet shall it
be unto you, holy unto the Eter
nal."
