The New York Star says: “Money
has commenced to go to the South,
and in a few weeks the demands for
money, in that quarter, will probably
exceed the movement to the West.

conservatism which rules in iinanoial

The Georgia State Fair.
We do not wish that our readers
should forgst this great treat in store
for them. Hence our frequent refer
ence to it. There was never so much
Interest taken in any display of Geor
gia’s exhibition of her produce and
handicraft. When President North
en and Secretary Nishet return from
their Western tour the people of
Georgia will hear good words from
them. , . .. ,
In the meantime, we sky, the people
oould not do well without this fair.
There is at these Fairs something new
to be seen. Heretofore grain, and veg
etables and a small amount of machin
ery, and a few horses, hogs uud cattle
constituted the bulk of the exhibit.
Now, fruit has come to the front, and
grapes with their wine, and canned
peaches, pears, apples, &c., Ac., add
to the great and absorbing interest.
In this particular line we may sav,
that the fruit orop has made lands In
Georgia inoreaso in two or three years
#00 per oent. Of the three great prin
cipal branches of industry, Agricul
ture, Commerce nnd Manufactures,
the latter is not the least important.
Having the World’s ueoessary staple,
Cotton, whioli can be manufactured
on the ground wherait is grown, the
progress will he from the fields to the
mills and the shops, and population
will follow as naturally as the waters
of the mountains seek the sea.
And then the social feature of this
grand Exhibition must not bo ignor
ed. Whatever tends to make life
pleasant is a positive good. Young
people want something to look for
ward to, something that will stimu
late them to produce or to manufact
ure some one thing or the other that
will attract attontiou and draw prizes.
This great Fair furnishes this com
mon meeting ground. The atten
dance of from ten to thirty thousand
people daily, who are drawn from
their homes by the expectation of
meeting friends at the Fair and the
presentation of their works of art and
genius, will be a fine feature around
which will cluster the happiest of as
sociations and the happiest of hearts.
Remember the Great Fair, Octo
ber 88*1, and be there to see, to enjoy
and to be honored, if—if—your luck
is good.
Dr. H. H. Tucker Is Dead.
The Legislature.
The women havt- discarded one ug
ly. ungraceful and unnecessary part
of their dress, for which Mrs. Cleve
land is principally to he credited. Now
let them take another advanced step,
and wear loose clothing and short
gowns. Be not ashamed to show
your feet. If they are cased in num
ber four or five shoes it only goes to
show that your body is well built.
Tight clothes hurt the heart, the
lungs and other vital organs, which
impede the circulation of the blood,
cause organic disease and often sud
den death.
There is "little else talked about
Among merchants and farmers, and
written about in the newspapers, ex
cept cotton bugging. Farmers are
S3 anxious to get their cotton in mar
ket while the price is good that they
will use any sort of bagging they can
get. Many merchants think there will
not be bagging enough in the whole
country to cover the seven millions
of bales of the present crop. If the
farmers were out of debt und could
hold their cotton in the seed until
there was bagging to he had, it would
be well. But the question is, could
they do so, if the supply of bagging
is short of the demand?

The death of Dr. Tucker, at any
time, even in the years to come, would
have been a sorrow surrounded with
a sympathy as extensive as the coun
try, and as deeply pervading as the
death of any man in Georgia belong
ing to the ministry, but his death,
under the singularly sad and sudden
taking off, in the fnllm st of health,
nml at the apex of liis glory and re
nown, is poignant to a degree boyond
language to exress.
That a great und good man should
die, ut the allotted age of the Psalm
ist, is not singular, or specially to be
regretted; but that a great and good
man, full of years, and full of honors,
und full of usefulness should die the
death the Doctor did, is a sad, sad re
flection for the best ot men to take to
heart.
We gave last week the nccount of
the accident to Dr. Tucker, and it
left little to hope for his recovery.
He died from its effects, at his home
in Atlanta, at half past six o’clock
Monday, p. m. Dr. Tucker was born
in Warren county, Ga., in 1819. He
married, iu early life, Miss Stephens, a
teacher in the Southern Female Col
lege at La Grange, Ga. He was, dur
ing the war, a director of the Ga. Re
lief and Hospital Association, and
rendered good service. He was, for
some year*, a member of the Faculty
of Mercer University; and iu 1874 he
was made Chancellor of the State
University at Athens. Since lie left
the University, his services, outside
the pulpit, have been engaged in
the conduct of the Christian Index a
paper beloved by every momberof the
Baptist Church in Georgia.
Ills wife and two children survive
him; Henry Tucker, Jr., of the Atlanta
bar, ami Mrs. Dr. IIuuter Cooper of
Atlanta.
The funeral services took place iu
Atlanta, on Tuesday. Sep. 10th, his
life long friend, Dr Warren, of Ma
con, officiating, at the Doctor's spec
ial request. There wore, us pallbear
ers, ten of the best meu in the city,
ami the funeral escort was composed
of the following distinguished citi
zens: .Major Campbell Wallace, Mr
J. H. Porter, Col. N. J. Haumond.

There is a good deal of talk in the
papers just now about an exodus of
negroes from the South to the far
West. Let ’em go. Who cares?
They are worthless here, and will
starve, or get in the penitentiary
when they go amongst strangers.
Gooii negroes will stay here. They
are making money, because they
work. The fellows who hang around
barber shops, or a negro store, day in
and day out, ure the fallows we want
to see in the “Far West.” Let ’em
go.
