All Georgians will remember the first fairs held in tiro South after the war. A big bull, a pumpkin, or so; a few vegetables, and canned goods, pickles and preserves, a half dozen scrub races, a hand organ and a sideshow, made up these early expositions. Step by step, as the South has grow out of ashes into beauty and prosperity the exiiibits of her products have Im proved in magnitude and scope and at traction until to-day, when in Georgia’ capital city the present Piedmont Expo sition, eclipsing ail past efforts and sur passing every former exhibit, lias lav ishly disbursed a princely fortuno 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 progless and the development of his section, note these attractions and then be sure to see them. The admission to everything is 50 cents. This is 23 cents less than the price which we pay to go to the circus, and ,10 cents less than the prico 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 bo seen in any ten circuses, or in any twolve thea. tres, ever opened Ln the South. Let us seo! The most gorgeous and entrancing spectacle ever exhibited in the world is Bolossy Kiralfy’s “King Solomon, or tho Destruction of Jerusalem,” including 1000 people, and a ballet of 230 ladies. It has never been exhibited anywhere at a lower price of admission than $1.50. The gate ticket of the Piedmont Exposi tion admits you free to this woqderflll show. At the New Orleans Cotton Exposi tion, all other attractions paled, beside the famous Mexican Hand of 73 pieces, which is conceded to make the finest music in the world. Men and women turned from races and balloon ascen sions, and everything else, to hear this marvelous music. The Moxican Hand will be a gratuitous attraction at tho Piedmont, and will be supplemented by the famous Fourth Artillery Band of the United States Army. Achifle Phlllion, the confessedly world’s greatest equilibrist will give a separate show of his own daily, in front of the grand stand, without oxtra charge. Prof. Cooper and his remarkable dog, will give every day a balloon ascenaion, each of them dropping under a separate parachute from the elouda thousands of feet above. An exhibition never before teen in the South. The Booster Orchestra has starred in many countries to crowded homes. Unquestionably the finest races, run ning and trotting, ever,witnessed in the south, will bo a daily feature of tho race track. The stables of tbo exposi tion exen now are crowded with the ffeetest flyers and the fastest trotters of the country, gathered to compote for the generous premiums offered for speed sad endurance. Seventeen counties in tho states of North Carolina, Soutli Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, are piling in their glorious exhibits at a rate that insures the great est agricultural and minoral show ever seon in the south. The merchants and manufacturers of Atlanta are on their mettle, and with honor and prestige at stake tile exhibits in this line will be bewildering In beauty and in suggestions of utility. And ail these attractions, witli other innumerable ones of minor import, and the magnetism of the groat crowds, and the eloquence of somo of the greatest statesmen and orators of the republic, may be seen and heard for a single half dollar. The exposition opens on October ill, and continues until November 7. Tho fare on all the railroads is one cont a mile, and here are the dates of the spe cial days: Grady days—October 21 and 22. Drummers' day—October 2:1. Veterans' day—October 27. lied Men's day—October 20. Alliance days—November 3 aud 4. Fare on all railroads one cent a mile. -THE- Avera Grocery Go. Retailers and Jobbers of Tin Finsst Imported ml He LOVERS' RETREAT. 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 the many places of interest to tbe 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 the hillside is a never-failing spring that used to be semi-oncioscd by a large growth of the wild jassamino, dotted here and there witli the variega ted tlowors of the honeysuckle, while the “biillus” vine climbed high the tree- tips—all forming a beautiful retreat from tlie prying eye of the passing pe destrian. Arranged around tins spring were neveral rustic seats. To this spot many of the girls who are now the ma trons of Americus have listened to the old, old story that has so often been told to the willing ear. Many are the family circles that are now living happy and contented that took their origin from tho walk to the spring “down by the tank.” The 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 woro moro than a dozen large wash-pots, and under the trees wash- benches of all descriptions could be seen. This waB indeed the laundry of Ameri cas, and a happier, more contented lot of laundry women could not be found on earth. Many grown-up men and women who now grace the home and business oflico of tills place, can look back to the days when they used to accompany “mammy” or nurse to the spring to spend tbe day while the washing was boing done, and have eaten many din ners under the shade of the trees that have long keen cut down and hauled away. During tho war the home companies used to camp on this kuoll, and their mothers and sweothearts visited them ‘in camp” while they were real soldiers. A very large water tank stood by the side of the railroad that was supplied from this spring, and it was always the first duty of the fireman and brakeman, while tho engine was getting water, to take their buckets and lay in a supply of the cool and refreshing beverage from the spring down by the tank. But timo changos all tilings. Tbe beautiful grove is gone; tho tank has been moved away, and now you see one of the best equipped ice works in the south In Its 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 tbe children now play around the grounds that their fathers and moth ers once held so dear as a lovers' retreat.
