GROWTH OF ATLANTA. As an evidence
Of the steady growth and prosperity of
Atlanta, we note the continued and heavy
demand for real estate. Col. G.. A. Adair
(who it is alleged landed here from Noah's
Ark and began to sell off lots,) an old an
experienced Real Estate Agent, in the last
thirty days sold property to the amount of
Sl3G 60, ,334. The city assessors report
that the asses cl value Of real estate shows
an increase of over 50 100000. Property
that was far out Of town twenty years ago and
considered high at $50 per acre, now com.
mands $1,000 per acre. \ little over one
year ago, l3 acres of land, lying between
Whitehall aud McDonough streets, on the
line Of the East Tennessee, Virginia e.
Georgia Rail road was sold for $500 then
for $1,000 aud again for $4,000. Three
acres were given to the Rrl-road, and the
ten acres divided up into 90 lots. 4 few
days ago - Of the lots were sold for S24,.
500, leaving - yet to be sold This sale
was made by Col Adair. Mcssrs Hendrix

THE one Price System -,

and to this we attribute our immense and
prosperous trade. Selling Oh this square
basis renders IL imperative that the price hc
the very lowest one that can he given. We
are pledged TO this. We always have done
it, and we always will do it. It's Yur cy,cl
and our pr0cnc". No nIhcr Piano AMI Or
gan House deals on THIS principle.
Our prices, in plain figures, are placed
on every instrument. y cmll can buy rs
low rs the sharPcst trader All other I!ou-
ses have High prices and give discounts"
The "Onc Price" system saves time in
trading and is the only satisfactory way to
buyer and seller; for, on the high price and
discount system, even though the customer
buys, he is not sure that he has bottom
prices.

The Canadians Beating Us on
Honey.

The honey exhibit at the Canaditon fair
now in progress in Torento, is claimed to be
at the least calculation, four times larger
and more imposing than any previous exhi-
btion made either in Europe or in America.
Indeed it has been computed that the show
made by only vcay few of our bee-keepers
far surpasses all the exhibits made by our
American cousins during the past three
years, if united. Some idea may be formed
of the extent of the honey and apary exhibit,
when it is stated that it is valued at nearly
$4,000. Mr.. Jones, of Beeton, Ont, has ut
least $40, 200 worth of honey in the apary
building. and Mr.. Hall of Woodstock, has
not far short of it, This industry is now
only in its infancy, not only in the Domin-
ion, but on the continent of America. 1t
is stated by our agriculturists says the To-
rento Mail, that the present season is the
best ever experienced on this continent for
the production of nectar in plants, and this
is mainly accounted for in consequence of
the superabundance of electricity. with
which the atmosphere has been charged.
Bee keepers have observed that no sooner
had the thunder and lightning and rain stop
ped than the bees flew to their work in
myriads, and that their production of honey
could hardly be removed sufficiently quickly
from the frames to admit of uninterrupted
labor on the part of the "busy bee.' Mr..
Jones has on exhibition at the fair abont
twenty five tons of honey. and this is only
a portion of his seasons crop. The yield
this year, he says. is at least two hundred
per cent peter than that of last season, for
the reasons above given. His exhibit is a
marvel of bee culture, and occupies more
than one-h half the space in the building On
raised and shelved platform. fifty feet in
height, stand beautifully labeled honey cans,
and Immediately to the east, stands an enor-
nous circular pyramid, covered with honey
cans. Suspended over each section is an
electric light, that the effect at night will
be simply enchanting Miniature flags, the
union jack and stars and stripes, decorate the
display, adding much to its attractiveness.
In addition to these thousands of cans, Mr..
Jones has eighty-five barrels of honey on
draft, so that he will be enabled to supply all
comers right from the fountain head. This
vast product comes from lIs six bee farms
in the neighborhood of Beeton. This enter
prising exhibitor has also vast quantity of
apiary supplies of improved patterns on ex
hibition, in the shape of smokers, new and
improved systems of taking comb honey,
hives of the most approved pattern, and a
large quantity of perforated metal.

DOMESTIC LIFE.-He cannot be an un-
happy man who has the love and smile OF
woman to accompany him in every depart
ment of life. The world may look dark
and cheerless without enemies may
gather in his path-but when he returns
to the fireside. and feels the tender love
of woman, he forgets his cares and troubles
and is comparatively happy man. He
is but half prepared for the journey OF
life who takes not with him the friend
who will forsake him in no emergency
who will divide his sorrows, increase his
joys. lift the veil from his heart and throw
sunshine amid the darkest scenes. No,
that man cannot be miserable who has
such companion, be he ever SO poor,
despised, and trodden upon by the world.
