Apart from the fuel that the crowd isfteadllyswelling, there are special attrac tions for this week that will make It notable. To-day at 12 o'clock the treasurers of the New England mills will arrive for a three week???s stay at the exjKKiItlon. They will come in good style, ???and the result of their visit will be of more nctuul importance to Atlanta than any thing else perhaps that will occur during the exj*>- .-sitiou. A most attractive programme lias been ar ranged for their reception mid entertainment. The Georgia Kihlhlt. In spite of the failure of the legislature to ap|lto- priflte anything for the Georgia exhibit, Commls- --loner IIcHdvrson ,wlth the assistance of I)r. Cary ami other gentlemen interested in state and local fairs, has collected a wonderful exhibit of the n agricultural resources of Georgia. This exhibit 1 now la-ing arranged in the gallery at the centre ???of the main building and It is enough to make any ???Georgian proud of his state to see what is gathered there. Several car-loads of goods from Macon and . IraGrango are yet to arrive, and it will be Wedncs day morning before the Georgia agricultural ex bit,it is fairly in |w>slti??n. After that the empire state need ask nothing in comparison with any other state that has an exhibition here. The Goveraor* Were met at the Kimball house Thursday by the ???Committee appointed to wait on them. Governor Colquitt, Director-General Kimball and Mayor Kn ??Hsh were esi>ccl:dly attentive to the visiting gen ???tie men. before the party left the Kimball for the ground there was an elegant lunch served ill the breakfast room of the hotel, which was highly enjoyed. The jMirty were then taken in carriages to the grounds and shown over the vast variety of exhib its there displayed with evident interest in every feature of the great show. There were fonr visiting governors, accompanied l>y Governor Colquitt, who did the honors of the ???occasion superbly. The most elaborate appearance was made by Governor Iligelow, of Connecticut, who came with his full stair arraye in sitjierh uniform. The staff consisted of Adjti tant-Gcneml Harmon, tluartermastor-Genenil liar bison, Surgeon-General Gregory, Commissary-Gene ral Ford. Paymaster-General Ford, Aides IV. Rudd A. II. Killnm, M.

On the staff of Governor Hoyt there Is only Ger. ???oral i.ittn. Governor Jarvis and Governor Blackburn are here vilhout a regular staff. Colonel Hall Hunter, who is on the staff f Governor Blackburn, *w??s in the city day- fore yesterday and expected to be here to pnrtiei 'te its tin, festivities, but was called away on busi less. After the rounds of the various buildings and v rious pleasant incidents, the governors were take to Judges???hull, where they received several thou .sand callers, introduced by Governor Colquitt and Director-General Kimball. When the receptions were over, the distinguished visitors were conducted into the hall, where a great ???crowd eagerly awaited the speeches. There was from first to lust such attention and respect paid to the guests of the city us must have -called forth tlieir appreciation. The exercise???s in Judges??? hall were of very great -interest, and nil who were present have reason to ???congratulate themselves. The vast crowd passed in at the side res,ms in the judges hall, and each man was in turn, introduced, <o the visiting governors. This over, the governors, their escorts and a number of our distinguished ???citizens formed into line, marched into the hall and ascended the platform. Moser???s beautiful pic ture was unveiled. As the eyes of the great audience fell upon the handsome painting, a thrill of admiration filled every beholder, and a murmur of admiration was heard on every hand. The moment for the commencement of the exercises had arrived, and in a neat speech of a few words Director-General Kimball introduced Governor Col quitt, who arose and said: Ladies and Gentlemen: By the people of Georgia amt bv the cllktcns of Atlanta 1 am commissioned to greet and to welcome yon. 'lost gladly do 1 friendly rivalry. God grant you all success is the prayer of the people of Connecticut. Governor Hoyt, oi Pennsylvania, was in troduced and said: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: There are so manyuvenues which one might take even in expressing his simple thoughts and Sentiments of ???iigratulation that I hardly know which route to lopt. I want to assure your governor that I no longer need any assurances or tender of lip service, and that I sneak for all your guests when I say that eartily and cordially we accept this splendid hrw- tality which is offered us on all sides. Why, don???t know how tall an Ameri- tn citizen ought to be. I don???t know how much an American citizen ought to weigh, but when I reflect on my citizenship in this great country, I feel that no exposition is tall enough nor broad nough to hold us, and I have distinct authority to .under the well wishes and congratulations of four million and a quarter of the men of Pennsylvania to the men of Georgia! It is your business and mine, mid of your people and my people, to afford every facility in our power to add to the welfare of our common country, and to build up American civilization The speaker then went on to say that Pennsylvania might have gotten the stirt of Georgia, hut that she would have to wake up and look to her laurels or she would be lienteu. The sjiccch was well received, and was closed amid loud appLAise. Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, was intro duced. and made a splendid speech. He said: My heart is too full for utterance. I have seen the evidence* here to-day that for years I have been struggling to help bring about, that 1 have been hoping to see???tile material prosperity and ad vancement of the south. Atlanta, distinguished us she lias been in years that are passed and gone as a scene of struggling armies! however much that may have gained her a name 111 the history of oar coun try, these memories must, in the presence of the grand achievements oi the arts and sciences and )>eace, lie buried and forgotten forever. [Ap plause.] My friends, I so much rejoice that the soars that were made by the tramp of these armies have been honied. I rejoice tha. everything of bit terness, of strife is gone. It was iny good fortune to meet upon the historic ground of York- town the people of all tills country of ours. They were from New York and Maine and Rhode Island??? from the north, the east, the west and the south. We met uiHiu that sacred soil as the jieople of a common country, and as we met theie the spirit of our ancestors, tnc spirit of a hundred years ago came over us. and we shook bands witli the com mon flag II.ailing over us and determined that for ever hereafter we should vie with each other in our devotion to our country anil in developing the material things of the land. [Applause.] I mentioned a moment ago, my frieuds, thnl Atlanta was to he memorable in the history of this country for having inaugurated this great en terprise for exhibiting the nits and sciences, the commercial wealth, tne mineral wealth, tile ugri- on a farm untiL he was 17 years of age, when he commenced his apprenticeship as a machinist. By closc application, right living and industry, he gradually advanced until he became the principal owner and manager of the extensive boiler and ma chine works located at Grape Vine Point, near New Haven. He has been director in the Merchants??? na tional bank and several large institutions in that city for many years. In the spring of 1875 he was elected member of the legislature, and in 1S78 was elected mayor of the democratic city of New Haven by a majority of over 2.300, his election showing very clearly his splendid personal popularity. He was electeed governor in 1880. While his life has been one of brilliant business success, it has also been characterized by conscientious religious con victions, benevolent aims and purposes, and untar nished honor. His home surroundings are exceed ingly attractive. The Crowds Yesterday began to pour out to the grounds as soon as street cars anil trains began their trips. Thousands had gone before ten o???clock, and be tween that hour and noon it was almost impossible to get a seat anywhere to get to the grounds. At one time yesterday afternoon it was estimated that 15,000 were on the grounds, and it is though that over 20,000 people entered the gates during the day. And in spite of nil this enormous crowd tnere was not a single instance of disorder or even the slightest occasion of unpleasantness to mar the perfect pleasure of a great day in Atlanta???s his tory. It was truly a great day in every respect. The exposition is now really open, and henceforth its history will he one bright page of success. How They Welch.

Bkeumcfesm UeuxoXoXa Sprains, Fain in tlie Back and Side. There Is nothing more painful than these diseases: hnt the pain can be removed and the disease cured by use of PERRY DAVIS??? PAIN KILLER. This remedy is not a cheap Benzine or Petroleum product that must he kept away from fire or heat to avoid danger ot explosion, nor is it an untried experiment that may do lucre harm Than good. PAIN KILLER has been in constant nse for forty years, and the universal testimony from all parts of the world is. IT NEVER PAILS. It not onlv effects a permanent cure, hut it relieves pain almost instantaneously. Being a purely vegetable remedy, it is safe in the hands of the most inexperienced. The record of cures by the use or PAIN KILLER would fill volumes. The following extracts from letters received show what those who have tried it think: Edgar Cady, Owatoana, Minn., says: About a year since my wife became subject to severe Buffering from rheumatism. Our resort was to the Pant Killed, which speedily relieved her. Charles Powell writes from the Bailors' Home, London: I had been afflicted three years with neuralgia amiviolent spasms of the stomach. Tho doctors Hospital gave up my caso in despair. I tried your Pain Killer, and it gave me immediate relief. I have regained ray strength, and am now able to follow my usual occupation. G.H. Walworth.

This occasion nuu this presence, my friends, knows not the muskets, the bayonets, the swords nor the cannon, hut instead i see the implements of husbandry and the insignia of |*-??ce and prosperity. My friends, the prosperity of the north has luught us lessons that we, of the south, may do well to heed, and will do well to practice. It may be out of taste, and out of place to say anything that looks like a lecture, and yet at the risk of your censure I will say this???there is. as Governor Hoyt said, a glorious future, a grand anil glorious destiny for the jieople of the south. [Ap plause.] There is a great future for all the states of the south. We have here beneath our soil, untold millions of wealth. Our soil is susceptible of the highest cultivation, and pro ducts of our soil find a market in the marts of the world. We have the climate, the soil, the wealth, and everything of it lies idle here, and it hut waits the touch of???what? It but waits the labor of the young men of the south. Now we hope for immi gration. We invite it and capital. God knows the Iieople of North Carolina mid the people of Georgia welcome the capital that crowds the northern states. But while we do that the great problem must be worked out by our own people. Young men, the future of your country dejiends upon you. There is one thing that i love, and one thing that I turn my back upon. Wherever 1 see a young man in the south tlmt is not afraid or ashamed to work, I want to take him by the hand. (Applause.] And whenever I see one Hint is a loafer, and idle, I have no kind word for him hut good bye to him, I accept the kind hospitality and the good words of my brother governor. It was not necessary, except as a matter of fonn, that he should have tendered the hos pitality. We knew It as we shook hands, as we saw the kindly welcome, and we were well assured of that before we came. I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and accept your kind hospitality, and shall carry away with me the most pleasant recollections and highest hopes that this exhibition may workout grand and glorious results for the south prinei]>ully and for tlic common coun try together. The hall rang with applause when Governor Jnrvis ceased speaking. His speeeh was an excel lent one and made a deep impression Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, was the next speaker. He was introduced and sold: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen???I regret accept this commission. Onr jov would have been superlative if we could have had with us the gov ernors of all the thirty-eight states of this union. 1 Applause.] We have house-room and heart-room ???or them all. While we regret tlieir absence, we have counted it a good fortune that it is our privi lege to greet you who are here mid ???claim you as our guests. We open wide onr gates, we extend to you a warm grasp and wel come, and we know that you will find as you grasp the hands or these people a warm pulse- responding to everv pulsation of your own. In more senses than one it is not good tor man to he alone. Isola tion is not 11 good thing. The looking into each other's faces; the forming of acquaintances between the people of the different states is the surest and l,e s t means of binding together the people 01 those states in one great, glorious, grand sisterhood. Per mit me. teen, in behalf of the people ???of the state of Georgia, to assure von that whatever you may see mat shall interest you. or that shall have the evidence of skill, w bother these exhibitions shall come short or exceed your expectation*, there is one thing that you may hie assured o'???that you OAlinot count ton much upon the wanntnandcordiality of the greeting and welcome which we extend to you. [Applause.] There is one way by which we may brighten the golden chain that binds these states together, and that is by the rivalry of grant will. We need more association together. We are glad to he together. You have already assurances of our good win, our friendship, mid, indeed, of a feeling of brotherly regnrds I have no donbt that you have already seen in the crowds that intercepted your way through those buildings, the very surest ??? evidence that -Georgia is proud to-day to claim us her guests these governors of the sister state*, and I trust when this is over and these visiw have closed that you will tear with you to vour homes and to the people of vour states the intelligence that you have found us not only citizens of a warm and southern clime, but ???citizens w hose hearts are genial and warm, and who offer you 11 most cordial welcome. [Applause.] The address of Governor Colquitt was os it ap pears above???brief, pointed and was delivered in an earnest manner, whieh could not fail to impress every one who heard it with the conviction that Hie words oi welcome so fitly chosen, were sincere and heartfelt. At the close of Governor Colquitt???s address of welcome. Governor Bigelow, of Connecticut, was introduced by Director-General Kimball, and responded as fol lows to the address of welcome: Ladie*and Gentlemen: Born and reared in that little state on Long bland sound, nevertheless it has been rav privilege to visit the south, but to-day as I look ui*ui this wonderful exhibition I feel that a new- sun of greater prosperity has risen over this section of 'the common country. Now a- the people of Atlanta, and this section, have determined to push her advantages, there is no question but that a glorious future is before you. Used, as I am to the busy hjirn of industry, I can see that yon fully rival us. But in this rivalry we should never be jealous of each other. Let us build up our section* as we can, but let us do it with a feeling oi brotherly love, uumixed with any but a deeply to acknowledge that my state is not as prom inently represented here as she should he. We do not claim to have within our borders minerals us valuable as any exhibited by some of our- sister states, lint I will say to the president and to the gentlemen of this association that if they will just enlarge their fair next year and invite fine horses, fine cattle and pretty women (laughter) I shall bring down a representation that will vie with the beautiful women of Georgia or any other state. [Applause.] Mr. Chairman.I nm sincere when I say I am happ to be here on this occasion. 1 am delighted, after walking through these grounds, and seeing the'ex hibition. 1 congratulate you, and???venture the re mark, that there is no man in Georgia that has felt more interest in the success of the exposition than myself. 1 have watched it, anil we have been ready and I am ready to do anything in my power to ad vance its interests. I confess that I, southern man, and representing a southern state, feel warmly toward Georgia. It is to her that we owe the railroads that pass through the states. There was a time when she liud more rail roads than all the other southern states, and now she has inaugurated this exposition which will do more service to the people 01 this country than any- thing that could have been done, and it is a com pliment to the men who first conceived it and to nil connected with it, and it will be a memorial that should immortalize them. The speaker went on to speak of the great benefits that would accrue to the south by reiison of the ex position. He said that the people should come to gether more: that they were always right, and it was only the political tricksters who brought about trouble, and that the people guiding themselves would always come out right. He said that if the people of the different sections of the country could come together they would soon be established in fact ns in name???a nation of brothers. The speech was loudly applauded. In addition to speeches on the programme, addresses were made by ex-Governor William Bross, of Illi nois; Hon. E. D. Holton, of Milwaukee; Mr. P. E. Sunk-baker, of South Bend, Ind.; Mr. George 3 Bowen, of Chicago; Mr. N D. Sperry: Mr. Sullivan, of the Chicago Evening Journal; Mayor English, of Atlanta, and Mr. Kimball These addresses, whieh short and pitly, served to aid in the audience In enthusiastic Mr. Kimball???i address closed the Captain Uognrdu*. Captain Bogardus and his two sons added a great attraction to the entertainments on the grounds yesterday by their wonderful exhibition of skill with the rille and shot-gun. The boys are simply phenomenal in their skill. One is seventeen and the other only six years old. Tlie elder executes with the rille feats which the most famous rifle marksmen plume themselves upon. He strikes nicklcs, dimes and pencils thrown in the air; breaks balls thrown from hand or trap with almost unfail ing accuracy. Tho little fellow is even more re markable than his brother. He handles the* rifle like an old expert, and aims witli a mechanical pre cision at whatever is presented. He can break a glass hall in his father???s hand twenty feet off every time without danger. The captain with his shot gun displayed the skill whieh has made him famous, and it seemed impos sible for him to miss his aim. His rapidity and accuracy combined made the exhibition remark ably interesting. This afternoon he and his sons will give another exhibition with some chunges in the programme. The shooting will begin at three o'clock at the west end of the main building and will he free to all who enter the exposition grounds. Exposition Note*. ???Two hundred visiting girls are working with Hie various exhibits. ???Colonel diaries D. Oweus, of the S. F. and IV. railroad, is raising a flag pole that is so long that he had to dig a well so it would lit between the ground and tlie sky. Charlie says he is going to let it out gradually so the people can stand it. ???The Eagle and Plienix, of Columbus, Ga., have a magnificent display at the exposition. One motto over their display attracts attention. It refers to the fact tlmt the factory was built exclusively witli southern capital. ???One of the most beautiful exhibits in the main building is that of Mr. \V. E. Darracott of holiday cards. The exhibit is unfortunately placed on the south side aisle of the east wing attji docs not meet wiHi the attention it otherwise would. Mr. Darra cott is also state agent for the Crocker water filter, whieh is in practical running orderat his stand just behind the large and beautiful display of E. Jcnckes & Co. that it would add to their receipts is a secondary consideration with us. Before all things.it is im- portant that the exposition should serve the first purpose for whieh it was organized???that is to bring the farmer face to face with all that is new and better in agriculture and to show him, ashy months of travel and investigation lie could not he shown, what advance science and invention have made in his profession within the past fifty years. As a very humble citizen of the state, permit me to say that from the very first Lssue of your paper up to now, you have never written anything so vitally important to the people of Georgia as the above quoted paragraph. I ask von to publish it again, and I hope every editor in the state will give it a place in his columns, and to put every line i f it in italics.

Yesterday Director-General Kimball received a telegram from Senator Brown stating that the sen ate would probably accept the invitation to visit the exposition, and that a visit from the distin guished body might occur next week. Tlie senate has not determined the matter yet, but in view of the extent of the cotton exposition and its unique character, it is not at all unlikely Uiat we will be honored with a visit from these gentlemen. Such an occasion would eclipse the success of governors??? day and stamp the exposition, as it deserves to he, an enterprise worthy of the entire American peo ple. On the Grotiml*. Yesterday there were such preparations made as insure the complete success of the exposition here after. The crowd was nothing like as large ns it was the day before, but it was representative in its character of the entire country. Yesterday marked a good day on the grounds and was very pleasantly spent from first to last. The Connecticut party was one of the most interesting on the grounds and the following is a list of the party oa the staff of Gov ernor Bigelow: George M. Harmon, of New Haven, adjutant gen eral, with rank of brigadier general. Alexander Harbison, of Hartford, quartermaster general, with rank of brigadier general. James G. Gregory, of Norwalk, surgeon general, with rank of brigadier general. George H. Ford, of New Haven, commissary gen eral, with rank of brigadier general. Frederick E. Camp, of Middletown, paymaster general, with rank of brigadier general. William E. Barrows, of Hartford, aide-de-camp, with rank of colonel. William B. Rudd, of Lakeville, aide-de-camp, with rank of colonel. A. H. Killnm. of New Haven, aide-de-camp, with rank of colonel. Charles A. Russell, of Killingly, aide-de-camp, with rank of colonel. Simeon J. Fox, of New Haven, assistant adjutant general, with rank of lieutenant colonel. Ke-ap- pointed. Hery C. Morgan, of Colchester, assistant quarter master general, with rank of major. The Massachusetts delegation was one of the most pleasant on the grounds. In it were Messrs. Ab bott, Kennedy raid Gibson, three gcnUcmen from Taunton and Boston, worthy of represenHng any state. They were all among the most genial visitors to the exposition, and they will leave for home this afternoon. We trust that their memorials of the south will be os pleasing as are ours of them, for they and all the gentlemen of the north have won a warm place in the hearts of our people. Wc hope to have them back with us again, and they are going away with feel ings of the most genial friendship for our people. The Very Salvation of Georgto- Editoes Constitution: In your paper of the 2Sth instant, suggesting a series of cheap excursions to the cotton exposition at Atlanta, you use the fol lowing language: ???In the first place it would pay the roads hand somelv to haul large crowds at this price. In the second place it would give the people of Georgia living along the lines of road an opportunity to study the vast amount of improved machinery, methods, seeds, fertilizers, etc., that are on exhibit in Atlanta. This would result in a vastly improved system oi farming, in better crops, in richer farmers and in larger freights for the road. Indeed, the managers of the Central could, to-morrow, easily afford to bring every farmer who would agree to spend three days in Atlanta studying the exposi tion. to this city as the old saying is ???free gratis for nothing." Such a magnificent opportunity to lift Hie agriculture of the state from its present lame and inefficient methods has never been offered be fore on earth. It is 11 school in which even the most unobservant may learn useful truths and the most stubborn find inducement to change their ways. It will be noticed that we omit altogether the effect that such a movemenfwould have on the men who have projected this exposition. Really the fact Sav. City 5s new 87 @ 89 Macon City... 97 @ 9q Col.

THE WEEK???S REVIEW???FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18. New York???Again we note a comparatively quiet week In the cotton market, and nothing oi impor tance has occurred, \yhlle there have been some light fluctuations daring the weciOhe state of the market at the close to-day developed no material change, and quotations for the future months, as compared with a week ago, vary hut a few points. Tho tendency of the market at present is downward anfi a considerable loss of strength was developed toward the close. The spot market is quiet and steady; middling ll%c. Net receipts, while heavier than last week, show a decrease a? compared .with last year. Net receipts for the week ending to-day 232,114 hales, against 18i;771 bales last week and against 248,932bales for the corresponding week last year; exports for the week86,628 bales; same time last year 131413bales; stock 646,270 bales; same time last year 643,570 bales. The state of the local cotton market is materially unchanged, though business as compared with last week hns somewhat improved. The downward tendency to-day checked the demand to some ex tent, hut a fair amount of sales was reported at the clo*e with some grades a shade off. Speculators hare not been liberal in their deals, as the market was not active enough to work up an excitement. Receipts for the week show a moderate decrease as compared with last week, and the corresponding week last year. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29.
