1t Promises TO SurpaSS anything
Ever Been Seen in That City.
AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 5.-Of course the
all-absorbing topic of conversation in Au-
gusta just now is the coming exposition,
which will engage the attention of the
public from Nov. 2 to Nov. %, inclusive
Surely, IL the adv autages of location, facil-
tiles for transportation and handling of
EXHIBITS, splendid displaying halls. unQues-
tionably the finest aud most commodious in
the south, and a management of exceptional
merit, com posed of gentlemen OF intelli-
gence. experience, influence and indomit-
able perseverance and energy, can make
a success OF an undertaking,
the Augusta exposition Of 1891
will pan out all that its most ardent friends
could wish for, and prove an event to date
from in the history of this quiet, solid,
| steady-going old city down here on tho
banks of the Savannah. And think there
is no shadow of doubt now about its being
a grand affair. eclipsing all others of like
| character in this section, and placing high
water mark in expositions tor other states
| to reach for.
The Hon. Patrick Walsh, president of the
| Chronicle Publishing Company, is also
| president of the Exposition Company, and
he has placed his Impress on this. as be does
on everything with which he Is connected.
His national reputation was a guarantee of
the thing from its inception, and no doubt
| tended to give dignity and eclat to what
would otherw wise have been a comparatively
ordinary undertaking.
JULES REVAL,
one of Augustus most solid and successful
citizens and well-kuown fnanciers, is the
secretary and treasurer, and every one feels
secure that the monetary matters of the
company are in competent hands that are
capable OF bridging any difficulties that may
arise or sounding any depths or shoals
| which are apt to be met with in every
business undertaking.
The assistant secretary and local manager,
| Thomas p Henry, is a whilom attache Of
the MORNING News, and one whose spicy
news service from Atlanta to your paper
gave him wide reputation as a racorteur
, and chroniCler Of passing events. His office
is bee hive Of industry, and the system and
order OF a we'll regulated counting room sur
round him. He aud corps Of typewriters
and stenogrophers are kept busy day and
night attending to the multifar:ous duties
of his dual Office.

DECATUR's BOOM.
Prospects for the Tobacco Industry IN
Southwest Georgia.

Prospects for the Tobacco Industry IN
Southwest Georgia.
FowLsTowN. GA, Sept ct is just be.
ginning to be known by the outside world
that there is a body of hill lands, with
beautiful streams all through it. lying
principally in Decatur county, Georgia.
and Gadsden county, Florida, extending a
short distance into Thomas county. Geor'
gia, and into the northern part of Leon
county, Florida, on which is grown the
finest grade of cigar tobacco equal to any
that can be grown on the island of Cuba.
This body of land is about fifty miles long
and from fifteen to twenty miles wide, with
very red clay subsoil, and will grow with
out fertilizers 800 pounds an acre OF this
fine tobacco, which is being sold this season
at 81 to IS cents a pound.
Whole crops are taken at the barns by
New York buyers, and paid for in cash.
One man can cultivate SIX acres, and, be-
sides, Imake more corn than will supply him.
Many parties who have only an OK to pillow
with are getting $500 and $500 for their
crop.
THE DEMAND FOR LAND.
The community is on great boom, and
everybody is trying to buy a piece of this
land. The landowners fesl that they have
sotnebninR petIer IHah Solu hilue' LII co
years ago, when cotton was the principal
crop, these lands could be bought for s. an
acre. To-day they are selling readily at
SIS to $50 an acre. Aud but little is being
offered for sale. Let this tobacco boom go
twelve months longer and no one will sell
his land.
The finest and hest favored tobacco is
raised on the land on Attapulgus creek
near the village of Attapulgus, Ga, and on
the Red hills, sixteen miles to Quincy. Fla.
The water is as pure as mountain water,
and the health of the country is equal TO
any in the United States. The people here
are going to abandon cotton next year
altogether. Many say the seed will be lost.
With proper fertilizing and cultivation
these lands will be made to grow 1000
pounds of this fine tobacco on an acre.
Many are making 700 and 800 pounds this
season.

He was in the shop tLirty-fye miautes

aud went to the place where
he had left his horse and carriage /:

ing that his team had been stolen, he
hustled around town and at length asosr-
tanned at tbs police station that an Off
Ger had pulled the team. because il
was standing on the street more than
one hour BE asked what 1t would cost
to get the horse out of the clutches of
the law He was told that the fine was
81. This he paid.
Vandyks went back to the barber shop
and three or four who were in the shop
when he first went In, began computing
the time. After several minutes deliber
alton, it was decided that Vandyke went
into the shop as the shop-boy went out
to get his dinner
It usually takes the boy two hours
to get his dinner on a busy day.
The man left one hour and twenty five
minutes before the boy got back and
therefore Vandyke's horse had not been
hitched more than thirty five minutes
when the farmer left the shop
This was enough for the irate Van
