FRANK 0. TICKNOR, THE POET.
Georgia as a state has a great deal
to be proud of. She is rich in all the
elements that make a people great.
Prom
•The lyric rapture i-i her leaping rills
To the ciown imperial on her purple hills,”
there is no land so fair. Her mineral
wealth is practically exhuustless, and
in agriculture, in commerce and in j
all material things, she is fully
abreast with the age and compares
favorably with auy country. She
has produced statvsmeD auu orators
and scientists aud soldiers whose
lame have enriched the nation. She
is remarkable too tor some things
that in this materialistic age and in
the economy of nations are reckoned
of but little value, hut which she
will some day learn to prize as more
precious 1 ban all her oth. r posses
sions. She has been the biith place
and home of some of the irumt poets
that this country has ever produced.
The gifted and lamented Lauier,
whose position has been recognized
by all, and who has taken his place
beside “the grand old masters,” first
drew the breath ot inspiration a-
mong the old red hills of Georgia.
Here too. bved and died the poet
priest Father Ryan and YPaul H.
Hayne. whose songs have sung them
selves into the hearts of the people
and enriched the literature of the
common country. We still have
Frank L. Stanton, whose songs have
glorified Georgia and gladdened so
uianj hearts.
It is not generally known that
here in the county of Baldwin, al
ready rich in the heritage of so many
S reoiouB memories, was born Dr. F.
. Ticknor. one of the truest and
sweetest lyric poets of this or any
other country. To the common wond
he is generally known as the author
of “Little Giffeu of Tennessee”,
which has been pronounced by Eng
lish critics one of the finest lyrics in
the language. It is indeed a fine
poem and is in itself sufficient to
make his n<vine immortal. But who
among the old soldiers do not reineiu-
oer those other martial songs that
from time to time appeared during
the war and would stir and thrill the
heart as with a trumpet’s call: “I he
Virginians of the Valley,” “The
Battle of Manassas,” “The Sword of
Raphael Semmes ( ’ ’Our Great Cap
tain,” “Grueie of Alabama,”
“Hold to the giant R ver
Ye with a giant claim ”
and then “The Cannon song.’, Do
you recall it?
“Alia! n song for the trumpet’s tongue,
For the bugle to sing before us.
When our glean,ing g ins, like clarions,
Shall thunder in battle chorus,
Where the rifles ring, where tne bullets
sing,
Where the biack bombs whistle o’er us
Witli rolling wheel ami rattling peal
We’ll thunder in battle chorus,
With cannon's flash and cannon's crash,
With the cannon's roar and rattle,
Get freedom’s sons with the.r sliouting
guns
Go down to their country’s battle!
Their brassy throats shall learn the notes
That make old tyrants quiver.
Till the war is won or each Tyrrell gun
Grows cold with our hearts forever.
Where the laurel waves o’er our brothers’
graves,
Who have gone to their rest before us,
Here’s a requiuin shall sound for them
And thunder Lit battle chorus!
By the light that lies In our Southern skies.
By the spirits tint watch above u* ;
By tho gentle hands in our summer lands.
By the gout la hearts that love us,
Our fathers’ faith lei us keep til death,
Their fame in its cloudless splendor,
As men who stand for tln-ir mother land.
And die—.hut never surrender I
What old soldier doth uot reoail
this true picture of the opening of a
battle:
“A wreath above the pine tops,
The booming of a gun,
A ripple on the corn fields
And the battle is begun."

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND’S SPEECH.
The President was greeted with
wild enthusiasm. He spoke as fol-
and consequent!' to our individual
happiness, as citizens, ot a careful
discrimination, in our support 6f
riolicies and in our advocacy of po
litical do.-.ti inos b-twesn Close
which promise the promotion of the
public welfare and those which seem,
to serve selfish or sectional interests.
If wo are to enjoy the blessings
our government was framed to fairly
arid justiy bestow, we shall secure
them in due time, bv cultivating <a
spirit of broad American brother*
hood and insisting upon such con
duct as will, within the spirit 61
the golden rule, promote the general
welfare.
The president’s speeoh though
short, took sometime for its delivery
so great was the enthusiasm.

It was the sense of the National

and for icy co-laborers iu the execu

have accoiupauied me, I thank you
for your kind greeting. We are here
to congratulate you and your asso

your exposition you have set ou foot

gathered chiefly lilustratiuejof south

But we are also here to claim a
share in file pride of your achieve*
merit. No portion of our country
men wherever found can exclusively
appropr'a’e the glory arising from
tlie. esu TjuudiDgs. They are proofs
o( Aiut-ricao genius aud industry
which are the joint possessions of
nil our people aud they represent
triumphs of American skill -and in
genuity in which all our c tizens,
from the highest to the humblest,
have a propriety right.
While ii.y fellow citizens of Geor
gia and iter neigh'borng stares may
felicitate themselves to the fullest ex
tent upon such evidences as are here
found of the growth and prosperity
of interests and enterprises In which
they are especially concerned, I can
not be deprived of the enjoyment
afforded by tlie reflection tnat the
>- ork they have done emphasizes, iu I
the sighi of the world, the immense
resources and fndomitaple thrift of
the people ot the United States.
It seems tome the bought may be
suggested us not. inappropriate to

sition inaugurated on American soil

The sn cess which has at 1 ended this
exposition of products aud manufac
tures is uot iilfoge’her du- to the
quality of the soil or the character ot

states, but it rests largely upon the
fact that these states are members
of a heneiiciently governed nation,
who l e natural resources aud adyan*

of free institutions, and whose peo
ple iiave been stimulated and en*
couraged try the blessiugs of per

vouchsafed to us try our government

of a heiiriv and united cooperation
in its support and protection. We
should lovingly watch and guard it.
