President Cleveland, from the time of hie ar rival, hak received an ovation Great crowds follow liik carriage around. Mrs. Cleveland in greeted with roark of cheers whenever keen The sceuek are kimply indescriba- hie. Both yekterday and to-day the groundn have been literally packed The Sumtcr'Exhibit continues to uttract titiivernal attention from everybody. Old Harry Poole, his dog and '(smsum held crowds as long an he remained. Thousands and thousands laughed heartily at this genuine old Georgia kcene, and all who visited the Expokition ailed at the Humter Exhibit to see hik part of the khow. The judgen have not yet paHked on county exhibits, though have exjiected them to do so every lay. The verdict of the |>eople 1m undoubtedly that Buinter has the fluent and best exhibit. We are afraid that the judgen will not pank on the exhibits until Friday, but are confident that we will get either first or secoud prize. The W'eather is damp and dis agreeable, but tlie crowds do not seem to m!nd it at all. The'exponitlon is the biggest suc- ess of any ever held in Georgia. Gleshner. Mr. J. E. Bivens, chairman of the committee to get up the exhibit from this county, returned from the Exposition yesterday, and he wan cry enthusiastic about it. Said he: <4 Therc in is no doubt in my mind ut that Sumter will take one of the big premiums. We uudoubt- dly deserve the first premium, hut it will be wonderful if a Southwest Georgia county takes away that $1,000 from all the North Georgia counties who have exhibits there. For thatjrcanon I think we will have to be content with the second money.” % Capt. A. C. Bell also returned yesterday and said: ‘‘There were 275,000 people on the grounds, aud 750,000 people iu town. I know, for I counted ’em. Sum ter county lias the preitiest and the best exhibit in the whole Exposi tion, aud we undoubtedly deserve, and should get that $1,000premium. I am certain we will get the first or second.” All who have returned are of the same opinion. A complete stock of Drugs, Toilet and Faucy articles, at the store of J. A. A D. F. Davenport.

OUR TELEPHONE. Now that the dreaded hill before the Legislature, which so alarmed the telephone companies in Geor gia, and made them threaten to dia- continue business in the Htate, lias been practically killed, ,the Bell Telephone Company, which had au agent here last summer working up au exchange, has been preparing to open up operations 111 several cities in the Htate, Americus being in itH list, and one of the first which work will begin with. Mr. \V. E. Hawkins, to whom our business men are really indebt ed more than anyone else for the getting up of the Exchungc, receiv e:l a letter from Manager Gentry on Tuesday, stating that all the aparn tus needed Upstart the Exchange, including wires, instruments, phones, a board, anil [many other things, had been shipped from Atlanta, and as soon they arrived in Americus a force would be sent down to put up the poles, string the wires to the rest deuces and business houses, and prepare everything for business as soon as possible. Mr. Hawkins is of the opinion that, with nothing to prevent, the Exchange should he upund ill oper ation near the first of November. It may be delayed, however, si that it w ill Hot open until about the middle of the month. New Five Octave Organs at Twenty-live Dollars and upward James Fhickkr A Bro.

Col.

It is not known wheth er the ’|K»ssum got the dog, or whether some of the ever vigilant policemen of that burg, smelling his breath, concluded he had been drinking, and locked him up to de tain him as a witness in a prohibi- tioncase. Mr. Poole was very happy over his visit, aud slnco he saw resident and Mrs. Cleveland, says he will now vote the Denu»oratie ticket.

The Game of “Gough.” The Atlanta papers have said any number of times that rates would not be put up one cent dur ing ihe Exposition. A gentleman of this city, who has just returned from the Exposition, relates several incidents that do not give the Gate City a very good reputation. He says for one whole day he was with out food of any kind, for the simple reason tiiat the crowds were so great In hotels and restaurants that he could not get waited on. The crush of people was unheard of, and ali hotels and boarding houses were tilled to overflowing, so much that public buildings and churches had to be thrown open to accom modate suffering humanity. Every night hundreds, and perhaps thou sands, many of whom were ladies, were unable to find a place of rest, ami were compelled to walk the streets all night. The gentleman says that iu one instance two ladies ami a gentleman were charged $20 for a single nights lodging. Advlr« to Mother*.
