A stalk of cotton measuring nine feet
two inches high was presented io the

farm of Mr. J M Johns in Oconee county
The stalk has thirty bolls on it and Mr.

patch.

Mr John Reed, a farmer and a mer

his bales in a handsome suit of Oblum

STILL ADDING ATT HA CTJON 3.
The Managers of the Piedmont Expo
sition, which opens in Atlanta on the
7th of October and continues to the 2nd
of November, are exerting every effort
to make this exposition one of the
grandest the South has ever held. In
addition to the unprecedented liberality
of their premium list, a copy of which
the News has already presented to its
readers, they now offer $300.00 to every
county competin g and not taking a
prize and a special individual premium
of $200.00 for the best 12 ears of corn
and are scouring the earth for more at
tractions.
No pains or expense are being spared
and the success of the enterprise is al
ready assured.
The main points of the exposition are
these:
1st:—That it will he a larger exposi
tion than ever before in every depart
ment. More court ties will contend for
the premiums and more cattle and burs
ts will be exhibited than ever before.
Five times as much machinery' will be
entered as there Was ever entered before
and the show will be greater in every
sense.
2nd:—The display'of fire-works Will be
superior to any thing of the kind ever
before seen in America. The twe best
houses in the world. Messrs. Pavne –
Sons of London, and Det weiler, of New
\ork. are competing for the champion
ship of the world,-and each one of them
is paid the enormous sum of .$2,500,00
per night. The whole world will be
rausacaed for novelties, the fire display
will be gorgeous in the extreme.
3rd: The Wild West show, with its 200
Indians, with their ponies, and their
horses, wild animals, coaches, emigrant
wagons, will be the best drawing card
ever shown in the South. This will be
free to all visitors. It is a perfectpicture
of western life. The indians live in their
tents and dress in their native costumes
aiK ] have their dances and sports just as
on the plains. It is simply a section of
the wild west established in Piedmont
Park. The exhibitions accompanying
it of shooting, riding, fighting, and oth
er sports are superior to any circus in at
tractions.
4th:—The racing will be better than
has ever been seen in the South. Fif—
teen thousand,dollars, are given away in
prizes. Three men-are now traveling to
8ecuie attendance of the tery best hors-
1 s ’
The railroad rates will be as low asev
er. On two days in each week a cent
rate will be offered oft every road from
every point. For the points under 150
miles away it will be a cent rate each
way. that is a point 75 miles awav it will
be $1.50 for the round trip, and fifty
cents will he added for the admission
coupon> Ali livinB 75 miJeB awav will

the admission fee ._on two days in each
, vwk nnd tickets will be good for

South. On other days the rate is 14 cents
each way. Under 150 miles the price
is- $3,50 for the round trip with fifty
cents added for the admission coupon.
A BABY’S HEAD CRUSHED
One day last week the wife o f Jordon
Wilson, a colored laborer on Mr. G. W.
Tison's plantation, went out to work and
left her two children, a btbe of seven
months and a little t »ddler aged two
j'ears, in the house alone. On returning
she found the babe lying in the cradle
with its little head crushed in on top and
several ghastly wounds 011 its forehead
and face. A stone weighing a pound or
more lay by the .side of the cradle stained
with blood. Thinking the two year^ld
child had done the deed Wilson thrashed
it severely, but it denied the act. The
abe was insensible but not dead. Dr.
Smith was called and is still treating it.
He think it may mover.
After examining the wounds and the
stone Dr. Smith trunks it impossible for
the two vear-old child, which is small
