AtIanta,s Exposition.

When Col. ]. B. Killebrew was
here last week, in the interest OF
the department of minerals and
woods" of the coming international
exposition at Atlanta, Ga, he Sc
cured the services Of Mr.. NJ. Y. In
gram, of the Leaf, to assist him in
getting up a collection of articles for
exhibit from this section of the
country. Mr.. Ingram is the right
man for this work, and we hope he
will receive the encouragement and
aid from our people that such an
enterprise deserves This is a grand
opportunity for the South to eX-
tensively advertise and make
known her advantages and resour-
ces, and from the deep interest
already being taken in the affair. 1t
promises not only to be an EXPOSE
ton of the products and resources
of one section of the country, but
truly an international exhibition or
Worlds Fair. How great, then,
must be the opportunity to show to
the people Of the world the upsur-
passed advantages and boundless
resources of our glorious South,
teeming, as she is, with brilliant
opportunities for the establishment
of vast manufacturing enterprises
and commercial schemes. In
shameless masses, the materials lie
everywhere about US; what we
need is the moving spirit Of indus
try and tact, which characterizes
our more thrifty Northern brethren,

Mr.. EDITOR 81 did, some time
back in July, respond to the Tobac-
co Leafs call for reports of pros
pect of growing crops, and did give
in a rather favorable account, based
in part on my own 1e acres, which,
eUela then, needed rain, but not a
plant had been topped. If the rain
had been accommodating the crop
would have yielded all the most
sanguine planter could desire; but
the aspect soon became serious, and
l promptly went to Mr., Ingram
and told him so plainly, and told
him if | said any more about tobac-
co it would contain the death krleiJ
of Burley (and Burley, you know,
is his hobby. AT this Mr.. Ingram
jumped up, shook the dust off his
shoes, and said, there and then to
me, that Rurley only had dust on
il, like him, and when it rained it
would be all right. Well, in defer
ence to him, 1 said nothing about
Burley, but did give him a report
stating the crop was in imminent
danger, but he left home for Ken
lucky, and the report did not come
out as l expected, and then | sent
in and told them not to insert it.
The whole matter is the differ
ence between "Now and Them"
and what is that difference? Why,
the weather conditions have been
such as the oldest of US have never
witnessed, and, 1 hope, never Will
again. The earth is parched dry,
very dry; all crops have suffered
much, very much, indeed, and all
the rain in the heavens above can
neUer replace the prospect we once
had; the damage is more than half !,
now how much more / dare not
say.
This was most unfortunate year
to experiment. AS the white to-
bacco naturally succumbed first,
much ground was given up to it,
and much fertilizer was used this
year, and that makes matters
worse now, as it invariably caused
tobacco to burn.

our sewerage system.


For long years GAINESVILLE has
stood in sore need oil a better drain
age than that which has been fur
nished by the system Of surface
sewerage, which has heretofore
been in vogue. and now that we
have water. orks and water
closets. and ofal pipes are being
built in our public buildings and
private houses, it has become abso-
lutely necessary for the health and
cleanliness of our city that we
should have an underground and
more perfect sewerage system.
The city authorities, who, we are
glad to say, are always active and
ever prompt to see the necessities Of
the hour, have not been slow in this
matter. They, in connection with
the county, are now having a large
and capacious sewer laid, begin
ming at the new courthouse, on
Commerce street, and running
thence down Commerce, emptyfng
into the river. This route is the
very best natural location for a good
sewer that could be desired, the
grade being so steep that it is esti-
mated good stream of water will
run through il at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour Such velocity can
be safely relied on to carry off every
thing which may enter: the pipes,
and keep them perfectly clear and
clean. nE
The contract for constructing
the sewer is in the hands of Mr..
Jno. Conroy, a well known and
thoroughly competent contractor,
who is now rapidly pushing the
work to completion. Commencing
below the low water mark, in the
channel of the river, so as to secure
perfect drift for the sewerage
matter, he is laying an eighteen
inch pipe from that point up to
First Cross street; from here to
Second Cross will be laid twelve
inch pipe, and from the intersec-
ton at this point, leading to the
courthouse, will be laid an eight
inch pipe. The Franklin street
sewer also leads to this sewer at
Commerce and First Cross, and all
other sewers from the upper portion
of the city may be conducted into
it. Thus is long-felt want sup
piled, and our citizens will rejoice
to know that an additional safe
guard is added to the health and
convenience of the city.
| Alderman John w. Faxon is
chairman of the Sewerage commit
tee, and, recognizing its great i'm
portance and benefit to the city, he
has urged the matter before The
County court and left nothing un
done to have its construction be
gun at the earliest possible moment
He now has the satisfaction of see
ing the realization of his labors and
the assurance that they will be ap
preciated by the citizens of the
city.

moN. JOIN N.DANILL.

The nomination, by the Virginia
state democratic convention, of
Hon. John w. Daniel, is conceded
to insure the success Of the true dem
ocracy in the coming election IN
that state.
Mr.. Daniel is native of Lynch
burg, and is thirty-nine years Of
age He is a lawyer Of fine ability
and wide reputation, being tie au-
thor of a splendid work on negotia-
BILE instruments which is accepted
as fine authority among the profess
sion. He served with credit in the
late war, and lost a leg at the battle
of Spottsylvania. He has been a
conspicuous, able and distinguished
member of the general assembly of
Virginia for many years, always
taking leading part in the affairs
of the state. lie nearly succeeded
Hon. Randolph Tucker for congress
and came within two votes of being
elected United States senator. He
is known as vigorous and uncom-
promising opponent Of the repudia-
ton schemes advocated by Malone,
and his reputation as public man
has been gained by his brave man
ly, and consistent advocacy of the
strict fulfillment by his state of her
contracts with her creditors. He is
the champion of public honesty in
Virginia as upheld and set forth in
the platform of the true democracy
of the state.
Personally he is extremely popu
lar throughout the state. He ha;
an unbIemished record and is
man of unchalenged personal gal
lantry and firmness. He is possess
ed of an opuIent brilliancy of mind
and is one of the finest orators in thu
land. His eloquent speech at thu
Cincinnati convention seconding thu
nomination of Gen. Hancock by
Hon. Daniel DOugherty, of Pensyl
vania. was one of the most impas
stoned and splendid bursts of orato
nv that ever fell from mortal lips
and the silvery ring of its patriots
sentiments is still fresh in the ear
of all who heard it. The true DE
mocracy of the Old Dominion aeteC
wisely in selecting Mr.. Daniel as 1t
standard bearer, and the nomina
tion will receive the hearty encore O
every true democrat throughout tn
broad land.
