The thieves raise the tops OF the boxes, take
out what they want, and then hail the tops
back 50 neatly that unless one IS on the Iook-
out he will not notice that the box has been
opened at all. The draymen generally receipt

Atlanta Constitution; The display OF Georgia
ores at the Cotton Expositloa is really astOnish-
ing in its fullneSs and variety. We believe that
the Exposition will prove Of very great benefit
to the state by making visitors from 0ther sec
tions acquainted with the rare rchsess of
North Georgia in minerals. The SPECIMENS
are very numerous and include almost every
mineral known to the geo!Ogist. Iron ores n
Drofuse variety and uncommon purity ano
quality are exhibited from various localities.
Beautiful marble, soapstOne, mica, cOrundum,
kaolin or porcelain clay, as well as gold and
copper bearing ores are exhibited. Coal OF
good quality is also TO be found among the
specimens Altogether. the display Of minerals
is quite interesting and attractive. and will. no
doubt convince capitalists that there is a rich
field for development and profit in their utili-
zatiOn Too long have they rested neglected
in their native beds. while poorer fields else
where have been remuneratlvely worked we
trlst that the exhibition of their variety and
value will be followed by the best results"
