All Georgians will remember the first
fairs held in the South after the war.
A big bull, a pumpkin, or so; a few
vegetables, and canned goods, pickles
aud preserves, a half dozen scrub races,
a hand organ and a sideshow, made up
these early expositions.
Step hy step, as the South has grown
out of ashes into beauty and prosperity,
the exhibits of her products hare Im
proved in magnitude and scope and at
traction until to-day, when In Georgia’s
capital city tho present Piedmont Expo
sition, eclipsing all past efforts and sur
passing every former exhibit, has lav
ishly disbursed a princely fortune to
present a programme of attractions
never equalled or parallelled since the
Philadelphia Centennial closed its doors
fifteen years ago.
Let every man who reads and thinks,
and wishes to keep up with progtessand
the development of bis section, note
these attractions and then be sure to see
them.
The admission to everything Is 60
cents. This Is 25 cents less than the
price which we pay to go to the circus,
and 50 cents less than the price of ad
mission to any good theatre—and yet,
for this half dollar, the Piedmont Ex
position of 1801 will present nearly ten
times as much In kind as can be seen in
any ten circuses, or in any twolve thea
tres, ever opened, in the South.
Let us sool
The most gorgeous and entrancing
spectacle ever exhibited in the world is
Bolossy Kiralfy’s “King Solomon, or the
Destruction of Jerusalem," Including
1000 people, and a ballet of 250 ladles.
It has never been exhibited anywhere at
a lower price of admission than $1.50.
The gate tickot of tho Piedmont Exposi
tlon admits you free to this wonderful
show.
At the New Orleans Cotton Exposi
tlon, all othor attractions paled beside
the famous Moxican Band of 75 pieces,
which is conceded to make the finest
muslo in the world. Mon and woinon
turned from races and balloon ascen
sions, and everything else, to hear this
marvelous music. Tho Mexican Baud
will be a gratuitous attraction at the
Piedmont, and will be supplemented by
the famous Fourth Artillery Band of the
United States Army.
Achilla Phtlllon, the confessedly
world’s greatest equilibrist will give a
separate show of his own daily, in front
of the grand stand, without extra
charge.
Prof. CoOper and his remarkable dog,
will givo every day a balloon asoenslon,
each of them dropping under a separate
parachute from the clouds thousands of
feet above. 'An exhibition never'before'
■eon Id the South/' •.•■»•*>
The Booster Orchestra has starred In
many countries to crowded houses.
Unquestionably the finest races, run
ning and trotting, ever witnessed In the
south, will be a dally feature of the
race track. The stables of the exposi
tion exen now are crowded with the
fleetest flyers and the fastest trotters of
the country, gathered to compete for
the generous premiums offered for speed
aid endurance.
Seventeen oounties In the states of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama, are piling In their glorious
exhibits at a rate that insures the great
est agricultural and mineral show ever
seen in the south.
The merchants and manufacturers of
Atlanta are on their mettle, and with
honor and prestige at stake the exhibits
In this line will be bewildering In beauty
and In suggestions of utility.
And all these attractions, with other
Innumerable ones of minor Import, and
the magnetism of the great crowds, and
the eloquence of some of the greatest
statesmen and orators of the republic,
may be seen and heard for a single half
dollar.
The exposition opens on October 10,
and continues until November 7. The
fare on all the railroads Is one cent a
mile, and here are the dates of the spe
cial days:
Grady days—October 21 and 22.
Drummers’ day—October 23.

A Reminiscence of the Site on Which the
Americas Ice Factory Is Built.
The site on which the Americus Ice
works Is built is one of tho many places
of Interest to the old settlers In and
around Americus.
It Is built on a knoll of about a hun
dred square feet that was once a beauti
ful pine grove, skirted by tall and wide-
spreading water oaks, which furnished a
luxuriant shade.
It was the only park that Americus
could boast of before the war.
Just on tbe hillside Is a never-falling
spring that used to be seml-enclosed by
a large growth of tho wild jassamlce,
dotted hero and there with tho variega
ted flowers of the honeysuckle, while
the “butlus” vine climbed high the tree-
tops—all forming u beautiful retreat
from the prying eye of the passing pe
destrian. Arranged around this spring
were several rustic seats. To this spot
many of the girls who are now the ma
trons of Americus have listened to tbe
old, old story that has so often been told
to tho willing ear. Many are tho family
circles that are now living happy and
contented that took their origin from
tho walk to the spring "down by the
tank.”
Tbe water being so pure and plentiful,
almost every family In Americus sent
their "washerwoman" to the spring for
the week’s washing. On the level of this
knoll wore more than a dozou largo
wash-pots, aud under tho trees wash-
benches of all descriptions eould be seen.
This was indeed tbe laundry of Araeri
cus, and a happier, more contented lot
of laundry women could not be found on
earth. Many grown-up men aud women
who now grace tho home and business
office of this place, can look back to the
days when they used to accompany
"mammy” or nurso to tho spring to
spend the day while the washing was
bolng done, and have eaten many din
ners under tho shade of the treos that
have long been cut down and hauled
away.
During tho war tho homo companies
used to camp on this knoll, and their
mothers and swoothearts visited them
“in camp” while they were real soldiers.
A very largo water tank stood by tho
side of the railroad that was suppliod
from this spring, and It was always the
first duty of the fireman and brakeman,
while the engine was getting water, to
take their buckets and lay in a supply of
the cool and refreshing beverage from
tho spring down by the tank.
But time ohanges all things. The
beautiful grove is gone; the tank has
been moved away, aad now you see one
of the beet equipped ice worke In the
south la Ite stead, but the old spring Is
there yet, gushing from beneath the lit
tle hill as free as of yore, while the chil
dren of the ehildren now play around
the grounds that their fathers and moth
er* once held eo dear asm lovers' retreat.

The German. ■'
The German given at their rooms by
the Americus Club on Wednesday night
was one of tbe most enjoyable of tho
season. The ladies looked lovely :ln
their handsome and radiant costumes.
’Tis a pity that the present writer is
masculine, thereby rendering anything
in the nature of a lucid description the
handsome costumes worn by the fair
contingent an Impossibility.
The German was led by Messrs. H. G.
Myrover and I. K. Cain, and the follow
ing is a list of the attendants:
Mr. and Mrs. Bloom Brown, Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur C. Bivins, Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. A. Flicker, Mr. and Mrs. Jno.
Hudson, Mr. and Mrs. Arch. R. Eldridge,
Misses N. L. Hawkins, Mervin Callaway,
Amoret Gray, Hattie Windsor, Frances
Bell, Jennie Hollis, Belle Sbaw, Alice
Wheatley, Sarah Cobb. Messrs. W. K.
Wheatley, Brown Burkhalter, W. A.
Antlllottt, Charles Adams, Walter Crisp,

Hightower, Olin Dixon, Lester Windsor,

U. 8. Navy, Henry HcCleskey, of Birm
ingham, H. G. Myrover and I. R. Cain.
The muslo was furnished by Profs,
Relmer, Lcamon and Miss Bessie Lea-
mon.
The parlors and ball-room had been by
several of the young ladles tastefully
decorated with out flowers and tropleal
stand plants, the effect of which
beautiful in the extreme.
