Since the fire of February 12th, which destroyed Masonic Temple,
want of room forced us to be content with carrying a very limited
stock compared with what we lire now prepared to offer. Improve
ments and extensions just completed, make our present premises—two
floors each 165 feet long by 25 feet wide—the handsomest, most
commodious, best lighted and best suited in every way for the dis
da v of goods, in Augusta; and we challenge the South Atlantic States
to match the stock for variety, completeness of assortment and curt
tulnessof selection. More time and attention are devoted to its pur
chase, than arc spent on any similar stock in the South, and the result
will be apparent to all who inspect it carefully. On the shelves, and
in resene, can be found at all times full lines of every class of Dry
Goods Notions, etc., from low priced SUBSTANTIAL GOODS TO
THE FINEST FABRICS end choicest designs produced in this coun
try or imported from abroad ; and without quoting figures in detail,

THEGATECITY.
ATLANTA ALL AGLOW—THE
LARGEST CROWD EVER AS
SEMBLED IN GEORGIA.
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE
RECEIVE A BRILLIANT RE
CEPTION.
In company with quite a number
of friends and acquaintances the
Sentinel hoarded Monday last the j
west bound day train, bound for the j
Southern Metropolis. As the train
approached we discovered to our dis
comfort the crowded condition, to
gether with the oft repeated “no
room,” increased our anxiety, and our
fears were not v/holly groundless.
With some engi earing the ladies in
: our party were comparatively coni
! fortably seated, but the gentlemen
j poor fellows, “one of whom I am
; which,” had to succumb to the inevit
j able and stand up the most of the
■ way, and our word for it, we were
> punished severely, imagine a 220
pounder, standing on bis feet from
11 o’clock a. mJ, until 9.30 p. m. Our
, party continued cheerful and in good
spirits until we reached Conyers,when
delays came, rendering the remainder
of the trip irksome and monotonous.
The Major took through passage on
the coal box in lear of the stove. He
says it is by long odds better than
! standing. Misses G , B, apd I’., stood

the fatigue well ai.d could not be in- 1
duced to say, I wish I had remained
at home. Mrs. 15., was rather free to
admit a lack of good judgement in
attempting the trip. We were bless
ed with rain which added very ma
terially to the comfort, so far as the
dust was concerned. Our train was
very heavily loaded and together with ,
the wet rails impeded our progress
greatly, especially at the “up grades.’’
Atlanta reached our party dispers
ed, going north, east, south and west
to their respective places of abode. —
Tlie Sentinel was somewhat unfor
tunate and by reason of the crowded
condition of the Markham (the best
Hotel in the S nith) had the exquisite
pleasure of spending the night in an
easy chair, sleeping were remarkably
and feeling greatly refreshed next
morning.
The “Gate C.ty” is literally alive
with people, in fact it is difficult to
sec the town for the people. This is
one time Atlanta is not equal to the
task, only in point of accommodation.
In every other respect the Exposition
is the grandest success of the age,
taking into consideration the short
space of time that intervened bet ween
the conception of the plan and the
grand opening on the 10th.
The Exposition has been very ex
tensively advertised and equally as
liberally patronized, showing conclu -
sively what virtue there is in printer’s
ink Henry Grady andtho Constitution
backed up by the press generally
brought together the largest crowd
that ever assembled in Georgia, and
we hope it will be conducive to the
future welfare of Atlanta, but fear it
will have a damaging effect in some
directions. Accommodations wore
not so ample as might have been
Plenty to eat could be had, but not it
i place of rest for the weary and foot
sore at night and numbers wandered
about in an aimless way, awaiting the
return of day. Atlanta has done well
but the combination rendered the
strain too great and she proved un :
equal to the emergency. We are in
formed the crowd reached 125,000 on
Wednesday, it being the great day of
the Exposition, including the review
of the Military by the Chief Execu
tive, the President and his bewitching
little wife, the sham battle, &c. The
street parade on Tuesday was a grand I
and gorgeous affair, which brought
forth cheers from the vast seathing
mass of humanity that rent the air
and made the welkin ring All man
ner of quaint speeches were made,
among the rest one made by a plain, |
honest, countryman, which had the
ring of loyalty in it. “Hurrah for
Jefferson Davis first, and Cleveland ,
next.” These words were uttered
within a few feel of the President, |
causing he and bis wife to smile j
pleasantly In one case we find true j
j love and veneration, in the other ad
| miration and respect.
i Our limited space forbids an ex
tended article on the Exposition and
! everything pertaining to it. So far
| as we are capable of judging, the ex
hibits are veey superior, showing up
in plain colors the resources of Geor-
1 gia and the exceeding taste of Geor- I
1 gians in arranging displays. We will
make especial mention of the Putnam
1 county exhibit as being wilho .t a
1 peer.
President eliould and doubtless
I does feel highly honored, and will
ever have a kindly feeling for Georgia
; and Georgians. The various reccp-
I (ions were brilliant.
The Georgia weekly press met on
Wednesday at 10 o’clock in the city
i Court room to arrange for the recep
tion which took place in the Kimball
parlors at C o’clock p. m. of the same
day. We could not remain over to
participate but at 2:45 turned our
face homeward with no regrets.
VOL VI NO 5
Tale til' Two Tramps.
Albany News and Advertiser: It is
rather un-ensonablo for tramps, but
then, like dudes, they break out in
sporadic instances to remind us that
the fool killer occasionally sleeps over
his work. Or, perhaps, they are sent
us in illustration of the Biblical .say
ing: “the poor ye have always with
yon.”
This is not a congenial clime for
tramps, and none have ever been
known to originate hero, but, like
germs <>t yellow fever or cholera, some
adverse wind blows them to our
shore. But it is anything else than a
hospitable reception with which they
are met. “Alas! for the rarity of
Christian charity,” the poor tramp has
none in these inhospitable parts, but
when ho asks for bread a policeman
gives him a billy, witU tho soothing
and moving injunction, “move on.”
Tho crisp cool ’.lights of October
turn the thoughts of professional
tramps Southward, and with tho in
stinct of birds that fly toward peren
nial spring as “the leaves begin to
turn,” they come down in troupes
and singly. 'They are the terror of
children and tho dread of innocent,
nervous women, and play the same
part in tho regulation of the nursery
as tho once universally dreaded “run
away-nigger.”
Two of these early birds lit in At
lanta a day or two sin e, and though
dressed belter than (ho best types of
them, began plying their trade, and
with a view of hoarding their ready
cash, sought lodging in empty box
cars, oi*4>n nature’s green carpet un
der tho spacious canopy of heaven’s
star lit dome.
Th'O lynx-eyed vigilance of our po
lice ferreted them out, and on Friday
night, after they had retired to pleas
ant dreams of hot coffee and well
bultireil biscuit, Officers Dunbivy and
Janies rudely rapped at tho door of
their lodging car with clubs that
sounded the knell of hopes of secrecy
which they fondly indulged. It was
a very rude awakening, and the twain
crawled from their temporary lodging
ami were made to shake the dust of
the city from their feet in short order.
