tore and a part of the members

and Happiness.
Saturday morning we went to
the Exposition grounds and put in
tho day, taking a glance at tho
principal objects of interest in tho
several departments. We cannot
glYa Our readers much idea of this
great show it is creditable to At
lanta and is bigger show FOX At
lanta than the Worlds Fair was
tor Chicago. 1t is tho finest ever

and was proud with him of tho
creditable exhibit Of our little
State. Governor Evans deserves
praise md honor, for making the
South Carolina exhibit possible,
