This shows that the largest crop pro-
! duced in four years was 3,200SS5 bales
more than the smallest crop, and brought
only $12,212.O1S more money. The larg-
est crop brought $50 per bale, and the
smallest brought $3.50 per bale.
| Again, it will be observed that the crop
of 1S94-95 was S65,S71 bales more than
the crop of 1892, and brought $41, 1885,
! 1S2 less money. Thus it is shown that it
is not the largest crop that brings the
most money, to say nothing of the in
creased expense of producing and mar

The Atlanta Exposition.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 25, 1S95.-"How
 do you like the Exposition ?" l wonder
 how many times this question has been
 asked? And the answers, how various
 they have been. All sorts of people might
 be expected to think differently about e
 great fair as We have in Atlanta. But
 most people, be they from the North or South seem to be pleased. Many even going so far as to say thst it is better than
 the Worlds Fair. But my object is to tell the children what 1 think of the Ex- position. I've seen in Boston a finer and larger collection of paintings, drawings statuary, carvings and the like, than is to
 be found in the Fine Arts building here. I've seen larger collections of fossils and other historic curiosities in the museums
 of Cincinnati and New York, I've seen the best schools of the North and the South in actual operation, which, is Of
 course. 10 the teacher. more satisfactory than any school exhibit could be. But taken all in all, l never saw, so great q variety. nor half so large display of the wonders of nature. of science and art, as
 was presented to my view ill Piedmont Park. l knew would be pleased. There never Wss but one trouble to confront me. The time was too short. Three weeks would not have been too much and yet l
 had only three days to spare. You may be sure lost no time. studied carefully
 what did see. though did not see all.
 1 regret very much that l did not see the negro exhibit, and that the model school and display of my alma mater, the University of Nashville, was closed so
 that could not see that. l saw all the other educational exhibits, however, in
 cluding that of Arkansas, which was a
 very creditabie display, to say the least of it. And Crowley Ridge Institute was represented by bound volume of written work. Nor was I ashamed of this book
 And as for Arkansas Agricultural dis
 play. well all tue world is wondering at 1t. And | don't blame them. Such apples ; l never saw before Not only doSs the Exposition show the great and varied re- sources and the intellectual progress Of Arkansas, but il demonstrates that the South is destined to be the center Of wealth and power in this union of ours. Georgia is today the empire state of the South. but when l look at her soil, her
 products and her people. am led to ask, '.Wberein is Georgia superior to Arkan' sEs, except it might be in age and experi- ence 2"
 The most interesting exhibit of all is the government display.
 After au inspection of the various eI- hbits of the different departments one cannot help having an enlarged idea ot the magnGceuce and power of this great government of ours.
