EXPOSITION NOTES.
The Attractions to be Seen at the Com
ing Piedmont Fair.
The Piedmont Exposition opens in
Atlanta October lOtli, closing October
22d.
What will you see there ?
1. An exposition •covering eight
acres of solid exhibits of every article
from a candy stick to a steam engine—
the latest wonders of science in every
department. A day in these buildings
is a liberal education.
2. A building devoted to cattle, 600
feet by 100; a building devoted to poul
try, 200 by 200 ; 300 stables for horses;
swine, goats, sheep etc., in abundance.
3. The collective county exhibits of
a dozen counties, showing the resources
of each county in agricultural and in
dustrial products, ladies’ handiwork,
live stock and everything raised in the
county.
4. The richest epitome of the South’s
riches ever shown in collective exhibits
from the cities of Birmingham, Annis
ton, Decatur, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden,
Borne and Tallapoosa. The Richmond
and Danville Railroad, the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad, the East
Tennessee road and the Florida South
ern road. Each of these collective ex
hibits will cost thousands of dollars,
and vou will see the grandest show of
Southern riches ever made.
5. An art gallery with 400 pictures
from the best living artists, and thirty
paintings from Mr. George I. Seney’s
gallery, which ranks with Vanderbilt’s.
One of these pictures cost $40,000 (forty
thousand dollars,) and the thirty cost
over a quarter of a million dollars.
(!. President Cleveland rind his wife
—President Cleveland will make a
speech one day—watch the sham battle
and review the troops next day. and he
and his wife will be ready to shake
hands with you all the time. Don’t
miss or let your children miss seeing
the first Democratic President ever
South and his beautiful and clever
wife. They will always remember hav
ing shaken hands with these great peo
ple.
7. A magnificent sham battle cov
ering 75 acres, with four batteries of
artillery, ten companies of cavalry and
5,000 infantry. The President and his
wife will watch the battle, which lasts
two hours, and he will then review the
troops and hold a public reception,
8. A torchlight procession with 10,-
000 young Democrats in line, the city
illuminated, and the very skies lit with
the splendor of the scene. This will he
t he sight of a life-time.
0. The grandest firework displays
ever given in America. One feature
will be a living wall of fire 140 feet
long, 40 feet high, roaring and spark
ling like Niagara. You have never
dreamed of anything so gorgeous. The
pictures of President and Mrs. Cleve
land will he shown in fire in mid air,
surrounded by thousands of rockets.
10. The illumination of Kennesaw
mountain. The whole mountain stands
out like a picture in red light, cannon
boom on its side, and 5,000 rockets are
fired by electric match from its
center. Pictures of General Johnston
and General Sherman will be displayed
in fire against the skies. Such a spec
tacle as this illuminated mountain has
never been seen.
11. Bicycle races, on which a man
can beat horses running. Balloon as
censions, in which you can go 1,000 feet
up in a balloon and be landed back
safely.
12. ' Horseraces every day, bringing
horses from all-sections of the country.
13. Governor Fitzhugli Ijge, of Vir
ginia; Governor Richardson, of South
Carolina; Governor Bob Taylor, of
Tennessee: Governor Seay, of Alabama;
Governor Perry, of Florida; Governor
Gordon, of Georgia; each with his mili
tary staff of forty mounted men.
14. The city of Atlanta, the best
city in the Soiith, full of sights of spe
cial and historic interest.
15. A vast number of amusements
and sight s which we cannot enumerate.
Everything, from the old-fashioned
circus to a flying .Tennv. A solid two
weeks of instruction and amusement.
Now, what does it cost ?
1. The railroad fare is lower than
ever before. From no point is ir more
than one-third the regular rate. It is
one cent a mile each Way, and from
some points even less than that. It
your railroad station ;s a hundred and
fifty miles from Atlanta ; he tare cannot
lie more than three dollars for the
round trip, and in iv be less.
2. It costs you only fifty-cents to see
everything on the exposition grounds
-—twenty-five cents for children. 1 ms
includes* seeing the tire-works, the ^
loon ascensions, the shciu battle, hom
ing the President speak, shaking ha' ; S
with him. the races, and everything''
the grounds. Vou .can stay on the
grounds all day long, it you- want to.
even until 10 o’clock at night, wh*
the fire works will he dosed. It costs
you only fifty cents for the day and
inght, and your children twenty-five
will find a number of places where they
can be protected without any charge.
In short, it has been the aim of the
committee to make this a cheap ex
position, so that all the people could
come. They have guarded everywhere
against extortion. They have got the
railroads down to the lowest point ever
known. A good meal for fifty cents,
including six or eight dishes, besides a
dessert, is very low, while ten or fifteen
cents will buy sandwiches and coffee
and milk enough for a meal. Detec
tives have been employed to protect
visitors against any sort of swindling.
There will be a full police force on the
grounds day and night, and the exposi
tion will have several offices open all
the time for information and the com
fort of visitors.
Give Them a Chance.
That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Vorv won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the fam
ily of throat and nose and head and
lung obstructions, all are bad. All
ought to he got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
is to take Boschee’s German Syrup,
which any druggist will sell you at 75
cents a bottle. Even if everything else
has failed, you may depend upon this
for certain.

THE GRANDEST DISPLAY
I AM VERY BUSY!
But will stop long enough to give a few pointers on DRY GOOD8, SHOES
AND CLOTHING—not many—just enough to worry the boys and set the pub
lic to thinking. Some of my remarks may fall with a dull,, sickening thud upon
the ear of my competitors; out I have abandoned all hope of getting rich m one
brief season, and am determined to put my goods down and be content hereafter
with a reasonable profit instead of trying to “make it all’ between September
and May. I therefore respectfully submit the following for the consideration
of the public, which I trust will be accepted as evidence of the reforms I have
resolved upon:
' CLOTHING I
In this department I have an elegant line of Light-Weight Overcoats, rang
ing in price from $12 to $15. Splendid Heavy Overcoats, from $4 to $18.
Good serviceable Suits, late style, $5 to $10.
Excellent all-wool Cassimere, Scotch fcnd Worsted Suits, both business and
dress, $10 to $20.
All of these goods are custom-made and first-class.

The largest shipments of New Goods from the best markets in the country,
which, for style and selection, have no superior.
For fullv thirty days J. B. MOUNT ransacked the Northern and Eastern
Markets in the selection of this stock, and never before has he met with such
marvelous success. This trip North will long be held in memory by the people
of Coweta and adjacent counties ; for he has thereby secured for them bargains
in every department—truly bargains—that will open the eyes of the trading
public.
To describe the many novelties, the endless variety, the immensity of his
stock, and the many BARGAINS he is offering, would oniy result in a faint ef
fort. Nothing short of a thorough examination of his STOCK AND PRICES
can give a proper knowledge of
J. B. MOUNT’S BUSINESS!
for which purpose he takes pleasure in extending a hearty invitation to one and
all.
Many competitors would cause the Trade to believe that every man blows his
own horn !—in answer to which J. B. MOUNT reminds the public of the crowds
he has blown together in the past three years, during which time he has distrib
uted his BARGAINS over this and adjoining counties. Such “blowing” the
North Georgia people have, and always will, appreciate.
J. B. Mount guarantees to beat prices from io to 25c. per cent.
J. B. Mount guarantees the largest variety.

new, at 5c.—worth Sc.
1,300 yards New Fall styles Ginghams, the best made, at 10c.—worth 124c.
Every merchant will claim, and justly too, that there is a considerable advance
in prices in the Dry Goods line this season ; but J. B. MOUNT contracted for
the principal part ot‘ his stock in time to save the 15 per cent, advance on his
Jeans, Cassimeres, Prints, Bleached and Unbleached Domestics, etc., and is pre
pared to offer you immense advantages. Stop here and read—
