THE GREAT EXPOSITION.
The Greatest Event Perhaps in South
crn History. Immense Crowds and
Every one Astonished.

The Great Virginia Exposition at Rich
mOnd is to continue week or so longer.
We wish we could impress upon our read
ers the duty they owe to themselves and to
their country to visit this wonderful eXhi
bition. The entire space of this paper
would not be too much in which to tell of
its features and magnitude.
From October 29th is the time which the
Management has reserved to make the very
climax OF attractions. Besides the EXPOSE
ton in itself, where moving machinery, ia
bricS, art, relics, products and science COM
bine to present the most unique, splendid
exhibition conceivable. Now commences
the great Show, THE last Days Of Pom
pei." This is now to be the attraction in
the arena, in place of Buffalo Bits"
Wild West. The mammoth scenery covers
over ten thousand square yards, represent
ing that ancient and beautiful city, of over
800 people in costume take part in the per-
Torrance, a grand lake of actual water
stands in front OF the city, where boats ply
hitler and thither in the brilliant electric
light. The great city is destroyed and the
pyrotechnic display will be simple reve-
latOn to Southern people.
This week also begins the engagem ent of
Conterno's magnificent band. Few of those
who heard Cappa in the great Music Hall,
will fail to hear COnCerna, when they know
Of the latterS great reputation.
We notice too that this is pet stock and
poultry week, but we have not space to
enumerate anything like a fair part of
what is to be seen. We merely want now
to say to all the people-DOn't miss going
to the Exposition and go at once. We feel
that We are doing our readers favor in
thus calling attention to this wonderful re-
suit of labor and brains in our midst, and
that the man Or woman who goes will not
only be greatly benefited, but will also
take pride in Virginia's accomplishment
and the development of the South of which
he never dreamed before.
We say go to the Virgini Exposition and
at once.
Nov 18th is North Carolina day. Gov.
Scales and Staff have been invited.
Remember you have only short while
left in which to see the great Exposition.
Don t put off YOUR visit

Special Correspondence of the Gold Leaf.

Special Correspondence of the Gold Leaf
1t has been my very great pleasure to be
with and enjoy the wonderful revival
meeting at Silver Springs. TIE sermons
preached during the meeting by Brethren
Hester, Whitaker and Cole, were OF the
best, and through the instrumeDtality of
the great Spirit of the Lord we were blessed
in the conviction and conversion of fifteen
or twenty dear souls. 1t was one of these
good cid union meetings, and while the
congregation was made up of members
from all the evangelical churches extent,
there was the most perfect union in mind
and work, and [ can truly say the Lord
was With IS to bless and did bless.
The good effects Of this revival meeting
was seen and felt by the members of the
churches, in that they were strengthened
spiritually, and the deep impression made
on those who were not saved it is to be
hoped will result in the complete salvation
Of their souls. wish to tender thanks to
many kind friends around Silver Springs
for their splendid hospitality shown US the
