LET THE Law BE ENFORCED.
II the reports in the papers be true the
foolish and wicked practice Of poiating pistols
and guns at people in ftEfl still continues and
with the usual fatal results. As the General
Assembly passed the following excellent law
on the subject at its last session which the

of the same, That from and after the passage
OF this act, any person who shall Intentionally
point or aim q gun or pistol, whether loaded or
unloaded, at another, not in sham battle by
the military, and not in self defense or in de-
fense of habitation, property or person, or
other instances standing upon like footing OF
reason and justice, shall be guilty Of mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall
be punished as prescribed IN section I, ,5lO or
the Revised Code of Georgia OF 1873" Con-
fiicting laws are repealed by the second sec

COME TO THE EXPOSITION.
In reply to a number of persons who have
written me in regard to the Exposition-f it
was s0Orth seeing,-and If they would be S1OiH-
died if they came. desire to say, and to say
it frankly and upon honor, that it will be the
grandeSt exhibition ever seen in the South or
West and worth all it need cost any sensible
person to come here and see it. Ithas but one
fault-it is too big and too grand to be made
financial success. For this reason, if for no
other, the people Of Georgia, within whose
borders it is held, should give it q liberal sap
port Visitors can come here now without
fear Of extortion and find good accommoda-
tions at reasonable prices. Ten cents will
carry visitor out to the Exposition gates and
fifty cents take him inside, where everything
on exhibition will be free to him. Director
General Kimban and his associates have Ia
hnr hor rd nd orOff q mo Az
hibition, and they richly deserve the most lib
eral patronage South Georgia and Florida can
give the enterprise which will be in complete
order, think, within the next ten days.
