A Big Crowd on the GrOunds.-EIO-
quenee and Good Cheer--Ltght-
ming Tailoring.

ATLANTA, October 27.-It is a lovely day,
shady and cool. The public schools have
holiday. Ten thousand men, women and
children are on the Exposition grounds.
The special train arrived at noon. Gov
ernors Colquitt. Bigelow, Of Connecticut,
Blackburn, of Kentucky, Jarvis, of North
Carolina, and HoYt, of Pennsylvania, head.
ed the procession, followed by other dis
tinguished visitors. Governor Bigelow was
the only Governor attended by his staff in
full uniform, and attracted marked atten-
tion. Ex-Governors Bross, of Illinois, and
Bullock, Of Georgia, completed the list.
Governors Hagood, of South Carolina, and
Bloxham, of Florida, failed to arrive.
The procession, headed by the Fifth Ar
tillery band marched to the entrance of the
main building, and thence passed through
all the buildings except that of Florida,
which is still unfinished, to the Judges
hall, where brief reception was held by
the Governors.
At two O'Clock Governor Colquitt and
Mayor English delivered addresses of well
come, which were responded to by the Wis
iting Governors and other distinguished
visitors. It was a stirring meeting.
At four o'clock a splendid banquet was
given the visitors at Browns Exposition
Hotel which was greatly enjoyed and fol-
lowed by lively after dinner speeches.
This has been the real opening day and
proud one for Georgia. Atlanta has done
her best, and tonight the Governors and
visitors will be entertained by Governor
Colquitt and other prominent citizens.
The announcement of the weight of the
Governors, who were weighed In the main
building, created great applause. They
stand as follows: Colquitt, 176; Bigelow,
1861; Jarvis, 2O3; Blackburn, 2231S; Hoyt,
24S.
The speeches were patriotic and in praise
of the Exposition and wonderful resources
and glorious future of the South.
1t is cloudy tonight, with indications Of
rain.
One of the features OF the day was the
making of two suits of clothes, one for
Gov. Colquitt and one for Gov. Bigelow,
from seed cotton picked at O'Clock. The
suits were worn at the reception this even
ing. The Governors leave for their homes
tomorrow.

Letter from Marion County, Florida

ANTHONY PLACE, MARION COUNTY, FLA, Octo-
Der 25.-Editor Morning NelCS: AS we see
good old Marion but seldom represented in
your columns, if acceptable, we will make our
bow, and proceed to describe some Of the won
in the northern part of the county.
For the past three years the progress here
has been steadily upward, and it is no
mushroom growth, but is becoming daily
augmented by those who have come to stay.
Perhaps it would be well to state the exact
location that we occupy, and then, to the
reader, our position geographically will be
more clearly defined. We are on the PEN
ange Lake or Citra, five miles ives. of Sill
yer Spring, and eight miles north OF OcAla
The land is high, rolling. mixed pine, with
reputation for healthfulness, extending
throughout the whole region from Ocala to
Orange Spr1ng-extendlng from the east to the
west side of the county. Our local repu-
tatiOn will, in the natural course Of advance
msnt in facilities of travel being extended
through here become known to those seeking
good permanent homes. Our advantages
are equal to those of any section, and surpass
others.
While three years age one saw mill and
grist mill, which ran about half the time were
ali the means by which We could be supplied
with lumber and meal, now there are three
good mills three grist mills, two ginning estab-
ishments, shingle machine, and a planer
We have three stores in the radius of one and
onefourth miles, and numerous small stores
dotted about over the country during the fall
and winter.
Besides being healthy, this region of country
has soil which is capable of supporting the
man who wants to have an income while start
ing his grove, or rather while waiting for it to
come into bearing. Ours Is good vegetable,
fruiting raising and farming land, and as to
the great all=absorbing topic, orange growing,
We challenge any faster growth, Amer looking
trees and better fruit to be produced on any
humnOck in Florida. "Seeing is believing"
and we invite all who want good satisfactory
home far enough away from lakes and ponds
to be free from mosquitoes, yet close enough
to go fishing when one desires to indulge in
that sport, to come and see our locality and
spend few days in our midst. Any intelli-
gent industrious, moral man who wishes to
settle among us, will find a welcome not
only from the citizens OF our new
ly started village, but from all the
planters Of the surrounding country We can
boast OF good school, good Sabbath school,
strong church Ia new edihce being In con-
templation), and strong temperance element
pervading the community, with an earnest
"blue ribbon" society to back it up
A good many planted vegetables in this vi
cinity last spring, and although so late as to
make but little or nothing, they intend irving
it again. The melon growing was q pronounced
success here this year
take the liberty of referring any one
desiring to know more about this section to
Col Anthony, who has done much for this sec
tion, and who is always willing and ready to
give any information possible. V.

CONFEDERATE BONDS.
The Great Demand for Them I'm
Richmond.

RICHMOND, October 27.-The remarkable
demand for Confederate bonds continues.
The best demand seems to be here in the
capital of the late Confederate Government.
1t is not, however, probable that the scheme
for their purchase originated In Richmond.
Nevertheless, the demand here possesses
wonderful vitality. Brokers are advertising
for them, and it is hard to estimate the
number sold. The leading banking house
of Thomas Branch 81 Co have already pur-
chased S. O0O, 900 coupon bonds at from So
to S. per thousand. They and others in
their line are hoping soon for orders for
registered bonds and Treasury notes.
