Fools at the Exposition.
by osk of thk foods.
W r e never saw so many fools—
The like was never known—
Representing all the schools.
From country place aiul town.
They came from mountain, hil. an<l glen,
From humble cot ami shanty—
A mighty host of crazy men
All rushing to Atlauty.
They came by day, they came by night;
They crowded cars and street;
Pressing on witli all their might,
Still other fools to meet..
We found them hero and found them there,
In every garb and dress;
Fools there were everywhere,
But never fools the less.
They met by thousands on the ground
To see Atlanta’s show;
So many fools were never found
Assembled here below.
The railroads and the city gave
inducements for the fools—
The old, the young, the gay, the grave—
They used them all as tools.
The Exposition’s over now.
The tools are scattered wide,
And we pledge a solemn vow
By which we shall abide—
No more with fools will we be caught
When such a trap is set,
But profit by the lesson taught

The Griffin News of Tuesday con
tains two of our choice items, which it
appropriates without saying so much
as “by your leave.” In the same is
sue is a humorous item about “a gen

at home,” etc. We enjoyed a squib in
last week’s Albany News and Adver

main details, though it may have been a
coincidence, merely.
A flutter of excitement was created
in town yesterday by the marriage of

Green affair, and although the parties
are well known in Newnan the event

We understand that Major U. B

the property is now* paying about 20

The Crescent City Opera and Comedy
Company will play “Mikado” next
Monday night. Their adaptation of
this charming burlesque is said to be
exceptionally fine, and those who have
never witnessed it should not miss this
opportunity. ,
Rev. E. Culpepper, of Senoia, has
been called to the pastoral charge of
the Baptist church at Fairburn for the
ensuing year. He is one of Coweta s
most able aud excellent ministers and
we are pleased to note these evidences
of his growing popularity.
The exercises of Elirq Academy, in
the Fourth district, will be resumed on
Monday, November 7th. Pupils are
urged to be prompt in their attendance

Thompson Bros, have the largest and
most elegant assortment of furniture
this season that they have ever carried.
Some of their parlor, chamber and
dining-room suites are exceptionally
handsome, and in point of style, finish
and general elegance will compare
with anything sold in Atlanta, while
their prices are conceded to be fully 15
per cent, lower on everything offered.
If you contemplate making any pur
chases in this line it will pay you to see
their stock and examine their cata
logues before placing your orders.
They will not only please, but astonish
you.
We are requested to announce that
the Ladies’ Church and Aid Society of
Puckett Station will give a variety sup
per at the school-house next Thursday
evening, (3d prox.) for the benefit of
the new church. A few weeks ago they
advertised an ice cream supper, but the
weather was so very inclement only a
few attended. They propose now to
try it over, and those who were
fortunate as to be present on the occa
sion referred to will need no urging to
enlist their interest in next Thursday
night’s entertainment. Let all attend

There was no finer display at the
late Exposition than that made in the
live sf o jk and cattle department, and
it is conceded to have been one of the
best ever seen in the South. One of
the finest exhibits there was a magnifi
cent herd of Devons, which was
greatly admired by visitors to that de
partment, and which the owners had
no difficulty is disposing of on the
grounds. Perhaps the largest and most
attractive of these belonged to Edward
D. Hicks, the well-known breeder of
Devon cattle near Nashville, Tenn.,
and also President of the American
Cattle Club. The next largest herd
was owned by M. B. Rowe, of Freder
icksburg, Ya.- They attracted the at
tention of our fellow-townsmen, Judge
Bigby and Mr. Chas. C. Parrott, both
of whom are interested in stock-
and they succeeded in mak
ing several very desirable purchases—
really getting the pick of the flock.
Judge Bigby bought six heifers and
two bulls, and Mr. Parrott five heifers
and one bull. Those purchased by
Judge Bigby arrive last Saturday and
attracted much notice and admiration
as they were being driven through the
streets. Those bought by Mr. Parrott
were shipped to Bartow county, where
they are now quartered on his stock
farm near Cartersville. The Devons
are said to possess all the butter-mak
ing qualities of the Jerseys, and while
not so large as the Durham and Hols
tein breeds, are more hardy and make
finer beef.

• Recently a committee was appointed
by the Fanners’ Alliance of Coweta
county to investigate and ascertain
what concessions, if any, would be
made by ouarmerchants to the members
of that order in the-purchase of goods,
from time to time, as they might re
quire, and to* asffi for bids from the dif
ferent houses upon terms proposed by
the committee. It was understood
that several of our merchants were
competing for the Alliance trade, and
actuated by a spirit of enterprise, I
sent in my bid along , with others.

Mechanics’ Brass Band distinguish
ed themselves in Atlanta last week,
though the local papers gave them no
credit for the plaudits that tlieir ex
cellent playing evoked. The band had
a prominent position in front of the
Court-house as the Presidential proces
sion passed, and just as the cairiage
containing the President came in sight
they struck up “Dixie.” - The cheers
that greeted them as the swelling notes
of the sweet-toned instruments were
recognized above the din and. rush of
the hurrying, excited throng eclipsed
for the time the enthusiasm occasion
ed by the President’s presence, who
graciously lifted his hat in
knovrle dgment of the compliment.
In describing this episade the Atlanta
papers gave credit to the Capital City
Band.

manufacturers of LaGrange, and is t o-

Mr. I. P. Bradley has purchased the
Thomas place, at the southern extremi
ty of Jackson street, and wiR take pos- j ^^ ent it ^ found that the crowds
that annually thronged the trains were
so large as to be frequently unmanage
able and suggested the action referred
to above. Hereafter, therefore, only
actual stockholders and their immedi
ate families will be passed free, to
session m a few weeks. Mr. L. P.

cated by Mr. Bradley, which he ac

so that my bid, being found lower than
any other submitted, was accepted.
1 desire in this public manner, there
fore, to acknowledge my thanks for the
fair and friendly consideration with
which my bid' wiis received and enter
tained, and hereby pledge my lionest
efforts to fulfil to the letter the terms
of the agreement entered into with the
Alliance committee. It shall be my
pleasure at all times to show due con
sideration to the members of that or
der in future transactions that I may
have with than),, and I hold myself 111
readiness to comply with every condi
tion imposed by our joint agreement.
Recognizing the well-established Am
erican policv that “competition is the
life of trade,” - and realizing that the
people have the undoubted right to
demand a reduction from the high
prices heretofore charged on staple ne
cessities, I have yielded to the inevita
ble and rather than be crowded to the
wall have decide^ that the better plan
would be to meet them half way. I
am determined to*, sell my goods, and
to do so 1 shall be forced to sell
them cheap, from now on. I can better
afford to sell them at a close profit
than keep them on my shelves from
season to season. In pursuance of tins
policy, therefore, I was induced to bid
for the Alliance trade, and for the
same reason I have marked everything;
down to the lowest possible margusal
limit. This is no exaggeration. The
best evidence of the sincereity ot my
intentions is to call and see for your-
sgIvgs.
Again acknowedging thanks for the
kindness and consideration shown, me
in this friendly contest,
I am very respectfully,
J. B. Mount.
