Bacon.” “She certainly will,” Major Ba con replied. “I felt that it would be wrong to havo Georgia’s place vacant at this world's exposition and I, therefore, determined to take space for her and (111 it up any how.” “How much space did you get?” “I secured a space of 4,000 feet. A upurnirj CJa It is on the main aisle m the hall -ri.JVHi.lvlL U o, UA. aIK ] jj cs poi feet aioug the main aisle, through which all the crowds must pas9. It is one of the vory best locations of the whole exposi tion, although not as large as that of some other stales.” “llow will you fill it?” “There will be no trouble about that. In tho first place, we have always made an excellent collection of Georgia minerals through Mr. Pratt, which of itself will suggest the amazing wealth of our state. To this we will add Mr. Pratt’s own private collection, and several other collections of minerals own ed by private parties or railroads. The city of Savannah will make a very fine exposition of cotton, rice and naval stores that will cost from three to five thousand dollars. The city of Columbus will make a fine exhibition of her manufactured products. I think Augusta will do the same, and so of Macon. 1 rely on Atlanta to make a line ex position of the marbles, gold, iron and wood that lie adjacent to her coasts. While we have only month to work in we can make One exposition if wo can all pull together.” “How about decorating tho placo ?” “Wo have Ova thousand dollars from tho exposition company, of which perhaps two thousand dol lars will fence our space in hand somely and give it some decoration. I hope Atlanta will take in hand the two main entrances and make on arch in similitude of the coat of arms of Georgia for crch en trance. One of these arches can be made of marble and granite and the other of granite and briek, nnd could be made very handsome. I understand that the Georgia marble company are willing to give a do nation of a car load of marble. At- lanta is the capital city, and I ear nestly bopo that she will take in hand these two arches and giro us something handsome. They can he made the most striking features of any state display. With a little work Atlanta can make an expos! tion in the Georgia department that will bring thousands and thou sands of dollars into her limits. Everybody is looking for Atlan ta at the exposition, and everybody who gets there will expect to sco Atlanta, ncr absence will bo very detrimental to her interests. I count fully on Atlanta’s enterprise and earnest patriotism in this mat ter, and there is one other matter that I want to talk to you about. I have had hundreds of letters from persons asking how they could get accommodations in New Orleans, and at what prices. 1 took the trouble when I was there to call at the department of information and accommodations and ftilly posted myself. I found its organization perfect. They have secured a list of every boarding house and hotel in the city of New Orleans. They have made a contract with each of them, that they will charge a cer tain price as i maximum during the entire period of the exposition. These contracts are on tile in the department. A stranger goes there, examines one of them, finds exact ly what sort of house it is, how many beds in a room, wbicb way the rooms front, bow many meals a day and at wlial price. He seleets his boarding house, is given a tick ct, goes to it, and is protected thoroughly against extortionate charges by the contract made be tween the owner of the house and the exposition company. These prices arc very low. Furnished rooms will lie from 75 cents a day to $1.50 a day. Boarding and lodg ing will be a dollar and a halfaday to three dollars. The hotel* will cliargo their regular rates, the St. Charles $4, and the near hotels from $2,00 to $3,00 a day each. These rates will be maintained all through the exposition and there need not be the slightest fear of extortion or of over crowding. 1 found the da partment of information the moat thoroughly ojganizad of any on tha OMNIBUS FOR SALE OR TRADE We havo a new Laodi* Omnibui. which will c .Sry sixteen passengers, linbt run ning, can be drawn by tv o heavy herses on good road, or ran on any road wilh foar light horses.

PRINCE, novlStdacl Americus, Ga. ground, and the humblest visitor who goes to the exposition will find himself protected and inform ed by this department.” Major Bacon left last night for Augusta from whence ho will go to Columbus in the interest of the ex position. He is thoroughly in earnest about tho matter and with ids well known energy and One ex- eentive ability, his high reputation and bis popularity he will, in spite of everything, make an exhibit in New Orleans of which the State will be proud, and save her the disgrace of not having been in lino when the whole Union waB called and every State responded except ours.

He drank a good deal of wbieky in bis early da} s, bat finding that the habit waa grow ing on him, abandoned it end bat been a teetotaler ever since. He has chewed tobacco for sixty years, and “does not think it hurts him.” He does not know when he was born, as the family record was lost long ago; but putting this and that together, it Is made out that ho first saw the light In the year 1166 in Randolph county, North Carolina, moved with hie father to Kentuoky at an early day, and went from that state to.

The "Tribune” on the Result. Nrw York, Nov. 16.—The New York Tribune this morning edito rially says: “Gov. Cleveland is elected President by a plurality of a little over 1,100 in a vote of nearly 1,200,000 in this State. On the morning after the election wo believed there was a plurality of a few hundreds smaller than this on the other side, and worn subse quently confirmed in that belief by the confident statements received by committees as to errors and worso in the counties of Albany, Ulster, Sullivan, New York, Kings and other counties. Tbe Albany fraud proved to effect only a coun ty office, and in tbo other cases the boards of canvassers have made only made small reductions. We profoundly regret this result, but it is the duty of overy good citizen to accept it and to give to the President-elect the respect the office demands.” For some years the Selectmen of tbe adjoining town* of Avon and Canton, Conn., have paid a bounty of 60 cents each for all woodhusks killed. The Avon Se lectmen required tbe tail as a voucher, and by the Canton Select men the cars were taken as proof. Recently it was discovered that tbo number of animals on which the two towns paid bounty was precisely tbe same. Then it dawn ed on the two honorable bodies that the unprincipled boy hunters of the two towns bad collected 50 cents from each town whenever they bagged a ground hog. Where upon tbe Selectmen of both towns, with great dignity, deciJed to pay no more bounties for woodhucks. William Hsgerty, of Bankston, Iowa, commenced sinking an artes ian well on bis farm sorao time ago. When down a considerable distance the drill sunk into a cave the bottom of which it did not reach. Another hole was drilled with tbe came result. He com menced operations about 156 (eet distant from tbo two holes. Tbe drill was 80 ieet below the surface' Saturday, when it again fell into the cave, tbe bottom of wbicb waa touched at 105 feet, thus showing the cave to be 205 feet deep. Geologist* and mineraliiia will ' give the matter attention. What tbs Rew Ysrk Papers Say. , The World give* Cleveland I,- 10T plurality, and the Times 1,106 plurality in New York state.
