& We shall refuse to accept the applications
OF any but tirst-cIass attractions. There will
be Mexican village, including q street
scene in Mexico, with its cathedral, theatre

several months collecting material. There

Although Atlanta was the scene of one OF
! the most destructive and terrible battles oil
| the war, the people there have lost sight OF
the causes which led to the war, and there
! is no sectional feeling. We do not try TO
revive war memories. 4 curious example
! of this oblivion ofthe past is shown by the
! appointment as one of the Secretaries of the
! exposition of General J. R. Lewis. Union
veteran. General Lewis was with Sherman
! on his march to the sea, when Atlanta wa.
! destroyed. Fifteen years ago he moved to
! the city and he has been one of its promi-
! nent citizens ever since. He was Postmaster
under President Harrison and is thoroughly
! identified with ali the interests of the city,"
