Atlanta gates are wide open, aud
the great Cotton States Exposition
is on in great shape. The weather
has been fine and the conditions all
favorable for seeing the show. Mr..
Cleveland was there last week and
received a great ovation from the
Southern people. The press of the
country comments most favorably
