LOUISVILLE. AUGUST 10. [,

LOUISVILLE, August 10, 1883
Ii was with strange feeling of bewierment
that We entered for the first time the magnificent
structure of the great Southern Exposition As
the eye wandered over the almost ilmilable
space the mind was impressed with the magni-
tude of the undertaking Truly the Southern
Exposition ranks among the greatest OF the
worlds fairs. London and Paris Philadelphia
and Atlanta have had their iimc have engaged
the attention of the world, and now Louisville
so magnifcently fitted for the undertaking by her
position as key to the South and Southwest, takes
within her portals the Sunny South and with
the cry onward and forward, proves to the world
that progression is the watchwOrd of the whole
nation.
1t was n solemn scene when the nations Chief
magistrate touched the silken cord which set the
mighty machinery into motion Was it not en-
blematcal! Did he not at the same time touch
the heart strings of the South and arouse feelings
OF pride and fraternity? Yes, and when the
grand old air of Dixie" fell upon the ear
every heart in the mighty concourse gathered to-
gether, responded 10 the feeling that it was good
to live and die in Dixie Land" There was
enough warmth and gladness, brightness and
beauty to charm and inspire the impulsive South
ern heart and at least arouse glow in the colder
heart OF the North
AS we slowly traversed the long aisle sur
rounded by the atmosphere of gladness, we
could not refrain from happy little laugh for
did not all this beauty, all this magnificence
speak OF the returning prosperity of the South, of
the greatness of ante 6elIum days?
When we contemplate the natural resources
OF the South we are filled with wonder. From
Alabama's display we are almost led to believe
that al the internal resources of this great country
lie within her boundaries. Exquisite are her ma

The Great Exposition.

We print elsewhere letter from DR..
Lucas, Assistant Commissioner at the
Loui sville Exposition. 1t is stirring ap-
peal to Floridians to exert themselves to
the utmost that the State may be properly
represented among her ssters-that this
extraordinary opportunity of exhibiting
her resources may be fully improved. We
are satisfied that the space allotted to
Florida will eventually be we'll occupied,
but it is desirable that it should be occu-
pied as soon as possible Thousands
daily visit the Exposition, and, so long
as Florida is not properly represented by
her products, thousands daily leave the
Exposition with incorrect impressions as
to Florida Fourteen of the hundred
days have already passed, and those who
intend work in this cause should be at
work Each day lessons the reward of
effort, and therefore the motive will be-
come less and less potent until, We fear,
many who delay will conclude that 1T is
too late anyhow" and finally do nothing
If each waits for others to act nothing
will be done, and there is reason to ap-
prehend that this will he the case in
some communities.

Middle Florida Fruit and VeEe-

The annual meeting of the Middle Flor
ida Fruit and Vegetable Growers Asso-
citation will take place in this city next
Tuesday, 2lst inst. 1t is hoped that there
will be large attendance, and that full
reports from all counties will be fur
nished by the gentlemen representing
them, showing the experiences and re-
suits of the seasons work. Such intor-
nation will be of much interest and value,
and cannot but be of benefit to growers
in coming seasons, for it will be ascer-
tanned how and why some succeeded and
Others failed, SO that error may be avoided
and proper methods pursued.

: The kimball House. Atlanta. was I

The klmball House, Atlanta, was to-
tally destroyed by fire Sunday morning.
1t originated in basement store on Wall
street near the kitchen department, in the
rear Of the building, and gained such
Roadway before the firemen got to work
that it could not be checked. The house
was full Of guests, but all escaped unin-
lured and saved most of their effects.
The kimball House was the largest in
the South outside of New Orleans, it is
said, was built in 1871 at a cost Of $780,
600, and contained over three hundred
rooms. The losses of over twenty Occu-
pants of stores and offices in the basement
were heavy, bringing up the estimated ag
gregate loss to about 81 900, 900, on which
there was insurance to the amount of
100000.
One independent organ couldn't stand
the pressure, and promptly event back
on the brethren, repadiating the indie
pendent Republican doings at sulphurous
Suwannee. But it's "tarred with the
same stick and can't so readily clean
itself. 1t trumpeted the Independent
movement" and deserving it under fire
shows not its purity but it's lack of nerve
1t can only atone the past by consistent,
honest service in aid of the organized
Democracy for the future 1t would seem,
moreover, that there is no further use for
its music in its late capacity, if general
and special orders to Independent Repub-
licans are to be issued from Key West
henceforth.
Major K. A. Burke, manager Of the
Times Democrat, was appointed and con-
firmed on the eth as Director General of
the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition, which will open in
New Orleans December, 1884. Major
Burke had twice declined the appoint
ment, although rendered salary of $780,
900, but finally deferred to the wishes of
the public. Upon his suggestion, the sal
airy was reduced to SIC, 900 for the year,
and in accepting the appointment he sub
sition, and donated the stock to the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College of Lou
isiana.
"A man named Birdsal printed let
ter in the Hartford Courant in which he
charged that the San assisted in defeat
ing General Hancock in 1880 by deriding
and abusing him in it's editorial columns.
The Sun opens its files and offers reward
of 900 to any one who will find line in
the Suns editorials which contains any
thing which contributed to Gen. Hancocks
defeat Here is a chance for Birdsall to
make nice little sum of money and at the
same time prove that he is not given to
making unfounded statements.
One Of our citizens who is great on
fodder plants informs us that he sent to
Alabama for seeds of the Johnson grass,
and to California for seeds Of the Ever
green millet, and now that they are grow
ing he finds the two to be identically the
same in every respect. Nothing like
giving new names to create new interest.

General Tom Ewing once remarked
that when a pioneer built mud plas-
tered cabin he went inside and shut the
door, and thus saw all the chinks. The
Democrats will have to get into the
Treasury and close its doors ere the peo-
pie will learn Of the many that exists for

Our Tallahassee correspondent says
that quite number Of the counties of
Florida will make exhibits at the LOUIS
vile Exposition. 1t is noticeable fact
that at all great expositions of the coun-
try Florida has ranked among the lead
ing States in the display of her products.
Her people are shrewd. They know there
is no better way to advertise State than
by such expositions as this one at Louis
vile. Florida, without the natural adj
vantages possessed by some other South
ern States, has, perhaps, enjoyed greater
degree of prosperity than any of them.
She has made the best of what she has,
and the result is that she is rapidly in
creasing in wealth and population. Her
sand fields are becoming gardens, and
her forests are giving place to orange
groves. Florida has set an example
which it would be well for some of her
neighboring States to follow

OF the death of Mrs Elizabeth p Wilson, wife
of Mr. David ii. Wilson. For long time she
had been i'll, and, though all hope for her recov-
cry bad passed, upon the announcement that she
was no more, it was felt that our community
had sustained great loss. No one ever spoke
OF her but in praise, and her whole life has been
one of christian kindness and sympathy She
has always been among the foremost of our
many uoble-heartcd ladies in assisting at the
social entertainments that were given for chart

suffering that did not receive relief from her
