The heart of the Capital of Georgia
is at rest let us hope, after a period
of such lengthy and continuous ex
citement as never before stirred the
brain of a Georgia community. And
it all grew out of a little pique—an
almost childish whim. Having been
snubbed by the State Agricultural
Society in its refusal to give Atlanta
the State Fair alternate years, Henry
Grady and a few kindred spirits in
the ambitious city of great expecta
tions pooled their issues so to speak,
and resolved to get up a show on
their own book, that would keep the
fires brightly burning on the Capa-
toline hills. But the idea needed
great accessories to make success even
possible. Grady soou saw that big-
■ger things than a few horse races and
mineral exhibits were needed to give
a head to the ideal creature he was
hatching in his restless brain. So off
lie goes to see Grover Cleveland, and
by his captivating and seductive par
allels tlie citadel at Washington suc
cumbed, and tiie child of his brain
was born a full grown man. Great
Grady! Li** down and rest on thy
laurels.

Augusta Letter,
AUOUSTA, Ga., Oct. 21st, 1887.
Editor Union Rkcoiidkr:
Augusta has just returned from a
visit to Atlanta—or rather to the
President. < hi the city’s front door a
card has been posted for several days
past,
tion;
on Friday.” And sure enough Au
gusta is at home to-day. But she
seems to have fared badly, judging
from her appearance. She looks lean
and haggard, and sleepy, and hungry.
A good square meal and a full night's
rest will make her all right again by
to-morrow morning. I don't think
she is anxious to repeat the visit until
Atlanta grows large enough and rich
enough to accommodate her sister
witli a bed to sleep on and a meal or
two to eat, when she calls to see her.
The city lias been greatly refreshed
by a heavy rain since my last letter.
The dust lias been well settled, and
the houses have been well washed.
It is a pleasure now to ramble through
our streets and view tiie many ele
gant residences that have been erect
ed within the past year. Some of
these will vie in point of beauty and
convenience, with tiie residences of
other places claiming greater wealth
than Augusta. The falling leaves
have spread themselves along every
street and avenue, and covered the
entire city with a carpet of brown.
The Baptists of Augusta have been
holding their annual Associational
•ineeting at Hephzibah during the last
three days. All our churches were
well represented and handed in ex
cellent reports. Mr. H. H. Hickman,
President of the Graniteville Factory
was again re-elected Treasurer, which
office he has held for a number of
vears. The Missionary sermon of
Rev. J. W. Bishop was a perfect lit
tle gem, and was highly spoken of by
the Chronicle’s correspondent. Mr.
Bishop is a young preacher of ability
and fervent piety. He is at present
in charge of Calvary Baptist Church
of this city, and by his untiring ef
forts has added many names to its
membership. Dr. Lansing Burrows,

Such occurrences* are so common
at the North as hardly to excite com
ment in any of the leading papers of
that section, religious or secular. But
let a tragedy similar to the above
happen at the South, and the press
and pulpit from Mkowhegan to San
Diego seize upon it, ring the changes
on it, and point their pious fingers to
it as an outcome of Southern slave-
begotten civilization. But tiie day is
coming when a change will “come
o’er the spirit of their dream." When
New England's factories are no long

ten thousand furnaces are cold, and
their skilled machinists no longer

more be heard tiie lamentations of
New England politicians over the sins
of tiie South.
