and bowls holding mses
of every color; on the left
of the hall, the library was

Tn tho corners were triangular pieces upon
which rose to the height of the dado moss
banks studded with roses, andon thetopof the
dwarf cases and stands wore laid tho most ex
quisite floral decorations. In the parlors on
tho left, in front of tho largest mirror, were
Arranged ferns and other water plants that
gave the appearance of a brook with growing
plants on its bank. The arch above the alcove
was artistically hung with rose wreaths and
smilax. On a large easel stood a magnificent
floral shield with the national colors brought
out by the living flowers, a beautiful work of
art .greatly admired by those who saw it. On the
farther eml of the second parlor two large flags
were artistically arranged, and about the cor
ners were the mno triangular floral pieces that
made tho library o attractive. Tho parlor
mant is xvero concealed behind great masses
of plants ami flowers.
The table was laid in tho room opening out
from the library, the table was round and was
beautifully d-corated with flowers. In tho
center was an immense floral bank, composed
of tho most exquisite roses, and the various
fruit stands were standing upon banks of th e

blue were suspended from tho chandelier, and

edibles being served at small tables. The
most delichms punch and wino was Immled
about the tables. On tho whole,tho house was
as prettily decorated mid arranged as was pos
sible, and tho soft light falling upon tho flow
ers and plants, about which beautiful women
sit or walked, made tho scene as lovely as
one ever looked upon.
Mrs. Clovi land arrived about four o’clock,
and was ushered into tho main parlor where
she reccived during the afternoon. She wore
n soft blue .silk trimmed with white crepe, em
broidered with pale blue flowers. U’he dress
was cut s luare in tho neck, mid was a beauti

Mrs. Grady ’s until after six o’clock, and dur

Over four hundred invitations wore issued,
confined oxclusixely to ladies One half of its
number were for a rcciqUion from lour to

At six o’clock p. iu,, although the rain was

There was a little,.

Aft* r the torch bearers had been massed in
front of the stand ami tho space inclosed by
the ropes had been filled, Mr. XV. T. Turn
bull, prv iidcnt of the Young Men’s Democrat
ic league, stepped to the front and said:
Mu. PBEsioENr: As president of the Young Men’s
Democratic League, and in behalf of the a mbitd
thousands of young Georgians, who, in spite of rain

Burton Smith, who, in well selected words, will
voice the xvelcomo xxll h their stubborn presence
u;»on such a night ami their boundless enthublabm

Mr. Smith said:
Mr. I’rosi'ient: The elements are against us, lut
the untorrlfied democracy is still here as it wnl
always be here to meet ‘its leader, and upon this
occasion, when the south joins the west in rejoicing,
tiie Young M n’s Democratic league experiences
peculiar pita uro. because Its existence dab s from
ISM. and our first successful presidential vote was
then < ast. In the present administration we >ce re
sults which sustain the trust rej/osed in our chosen
I'H'ler, nnd assure anotner victory for
him and us in 1883. And we see
a <afn the in m f her wh< xn t -
Anglo Saxon rare have always honored—of her who
has been America’s guardian' angel--who, as queen,
enabled Columbus to discover America: who. as
mothcr.formed the mind and character of W a
t.m—who, us wit *, gave to the father of democtxu y
the imprfiness of his life. Our purpose in organizing
was to Increase democratic acquaintance among
young men, and to keep before us the great prim i
pb sos (b-moeracy. This het is especially neces
sary, Inca use there i rinciplC', being never ques*
tioned hero, might tnume he forgotten. Since then
our ranks have grown until we count among our
thousands of members men of all pursuits—men
who born here have always lived here, and men,
wlio, nati .es of other states, have left tiie bonus of
their an* ("-tors to cast in their lots with us. We be
lieve that we cun now speak for the y >ung men of
the south in addressing you, and hi the name of
the young democracy of the south we gri tvou.
The great centennial so recently celebrate I in
our s st( r city of the north brings before us for

ciagc by Mr. Frank Arnold and, with the
other members of the party, was driven to the
hotel to make final preparations for his depart
ure.
During her stay in the city, Mrs. Cleveland
was the recipient of many beautiful floral offer
ings, from admiring ladies and gentlemen.
Many of the flowers were costly, and were
arranged in the parlor artistically and attrac
tively, forming beautiful souvenirs of the trib
ute paid to the beauty and amiability of tjic
first lady of the land, by her Atlanta ad
mirers.
Before leaving the city last evening Mrs.
Cleveland requested that these now priceless
gifts should Ik* distributed among the different
oenevolent institutions of the city and for that
purpose gave them in charge of a committee of
the Young Men’s Democratic League.
It is by such thoughtful and timely acts of
kindness toward the poor and afflicted, that
Mrs. Cleveland is endearing her
name and presence wherever she
lias been, and many a sad heart has
been made glad by the thought that it has been
remembered by the first ladyof theland.
The rain and muddy condition of the grounds
upon which the grand sham battle had been
planned, made it impossible to carry out, in de
tail, a programme which would have proven
one of the most interesting features of the ex
position. But it is creditaide to the pluck and
energy of the distinguished military men who
were in charge of tire affair that they suc
ceeded so well in giving tho assembled
thousands a brief but spirited representation of
an actual engagement.
The evolutions of both cavalry and infantry
were spirited, and though made under great
difficulties, elicited applause from all who wit
nessed them.
Tho infantry companies were formed upon
the quarter stretch inclosure, and engaged in
miniature war, skirmishing, firing, charging
ami retreating in confusion, in a style that
showed “onsiderablo familiarity with the field
duties of a soldier, in oilier thautiincsof peace
and exhibition drills.
The cavalry companies were all well mount
ed and presented a fine appearance, and their
movements, in charging, were spirited and
true to life.
Tiie cannon that had been planted on the
hills on either side of Piedmont park added to
the realism of the scene in rapid and echoing
discharges, and, mingling with tho rattle of
the infantry rifles, did much to carry out the
purposes of tiie affair.
Everyone regrets that the weather was so
unfavorable yesterday, but none more so than
the gentlemen who had planned and other
wise would have carried out a sham battle of
magnificent proportions and inspiring results.
More Than One Hundred Votes for Cleveland.
At the public reception held at the executive
mansion, ono of those to pay his respects to
tho presiilent and Mrs. Cleveland was Mr.
William Browder, of East. Tennessee.
Mr. Browder is ninety-six years of ago, and
fought under Jackson in 1812. lie was a good
soldier and is a good citizen. He came 150
miles to see the president, and brought with
him his great-great grandson.
He and three younger generations of his
family are Cleveland democrats, and more
than ono hundred of his male descendants
voted for Cleveland in 1881. He says ho hopes
to live to re-elect President Cleveland in 1888.
Old Fort, N. C., October 21.—The stop at
Asbevelle, N. C., was scheduled for only fifteen
minutes, but it lasted an hour. Tho municipal
authorities and a host of citizens welcomed the
president and escorted him and his compan
ions to carriages and took them through the
town. Tho way for half a mile was up a steep
hill, and it struck tho guests as an oddity that
their conductors, in calling attention to the
natural beauty of tho situation, should refer to
tho locality as a valley. Therefore North Caro
lina was better understood when tho summit
was reached, from which on all sides could bo
seen from ten to fifty miles distant the serrated
tops of the Blue Ridge, Balsam Range, the
Smokies and Black mountains, hemming in a
fertile region, whose knolls oi five try eight
hundred feet wore dwarfed to pigmies m com
parison. The party’s most active esco.’t was a
score of ladies and gentlemen on horseback,
who led the way up and down the steep moun
tain roads in a gallop. A feature of tho recep
tion was the line formed by a thousand mount*
ed mountaineers and country people clad in
their everyday habits, but with bridles bedeck
ed with little flags and equipages, trimmed
with evergreens.
Beware of Scrofula
Scrofula is probably more general than any
ether disease. It is insidious in character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular
eruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged joints,
abscesses, sore eyes, etc. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
expels all trace of scrofula from tho blood,
leaving it pure, enriched, and healthy.
“ I was severely afflicted with scrofula, and
over a year had two running sores on my neck.
Took five bottles Hood's Sarsaparilla, and am
cured.” C. E. Lovejoy, Lowell, Mass.
C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me., had scrofulous
sores for seven years, spring and fall. Hood's
Sarsaparilla cured him.
Salt Rheum
Is one of the most disagreeable diseases caused
by Impure blood. It is readily cured by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier.
William Spies, Elyria, 0., suffered greatly
from erysipelas and salt rheum, caused by
handling tobacco. At limes his hands would
crack open and bleed. Ho tried various prep
arations without aid; finally took Hood’s Sar
saparilla, and now says: “ I am entirely well.”
"My son had salt rheum on his hands and
on the calves of his legs. Ho tood Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and is entirely cure d.” J. B.
Stanton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. *-
