COUNT your blessings.

WE all have many^things to be thankful for.

REPUBLICAN'S all have great cause to be thankful this year^and Democrats, too, for better timesjare coming.

DEMOCRATS are not thankful for Grover and clover. Grover's policy gets the G. B. whenever the people get a chance at it.

THERE is sunshine today both out doors and in doors where relatives and friends are gathered together to rejoice over the good things of life.

THE sewer contractors are not putting the streets of the city in as good a condition as they should. The dirt in being put back should be thoroughly wet and well tamped. Let the city engineer see that the citizens are protected and our streets not ruined.

The bride is a sister of Mrs. Porter Wiggias4 with whom she has made her home, just east of the city, for seven years. Both are members of the Christian church and Mrs. Eastes is quite active and successful in the work of the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor. The newly married couple are very comfortably and cosily situated in their new home, and have the best wishes of their numerous friends for a happy and prosperous life.

Says His Brother-in-Law is Insane.

Albert White, of Greenfield, filed an affidavit in the court of M. H. Daniels, Justice of the Peace, charging his brother-in-law, William P. Brendow, who has been living at the Castle Hotel, in this city, as insane, and showing the necessity for an investigation as to his insanity by a commission of lunacy. Commissioners will investigate his case this morning. Brendow has been confined at St. Vincent's Hospital for several days. It is alleged he is so violent that the attention of two men is constantly required to prevent him from doing himself violence. Mr. White thinks his brother-in-law's condition is the result of the excessive use of intoxicants.—Indianapolis Journal.

M. Ribot, the late premier, protested that M. Bert-helot's statements iu regard to the modifications to be made in the treaty were not clear, and he asked the government to submit the documents in the case to the chamber of deputies.

Other speakers also explained that the statements made by M. Berthelot were not clear. After discussion a socialist motion to impeach the late ministers for their alleged mismanagement of the French expeditionary force to Antananarivo, was rejected by a vote of 470 tc 48, and M. Colet's motion, approving ol the declaration of the government, was adopted, 426 to 54.

PRIDE OF THE SdTJTH:

NOTES OF THE GREAT EXPOSITION AT ATLANTA.

High Water Mark of Attendance The Black Man Bears Off Honors—The Instructive Government Exhibit—Persistent Type of Rural Life.

[Special Correspondence.]

ATLANTA, Nov. —Roaring times in the Gato City these days. Every one of the 27 hotels is jammed full, and people are sticking oat at the windows. Every bed in every boarding house is full as it will hold, and the late comer has to take a cot in the valley. We have had all sorts and grades of officials from president to town marshal, a whole bevy of governors adorned the stage at once, generals and foreign dignitaries swarmed, and, as to common follows like colonuls, captains and members of congress, they have been so plentiful that we no longer pause in the street to look at them. The ii?bst pleasant change has been in the state buildings. For the first month tliey were dreary places to visit, but now they really represent the states in their crowds of visitors. The exposition is a great success, and there are those who say that this little city has "ovorcrapped" herself, as the Georgians say of a man who plants more than he can cultivate. There are no complaints of any one suffering for shelter, however, though the streets have often been uncomfortably crowdcd, especially when the military wero on the march and brilliant militia officers were dashing around in all the pomp and circumstance of glorious peaco.

Honors For the Negro.

The sixth week of the exposition doubtless brought the attendance to high water mark. At least no one expects it to bo exceeded. Every day was ratable. The week is to be an epoch in southern history, and once more the black man bore off the honors. It is an interesting and most important fact that, as the honors of opening day wero accorded to Professor Booker Washington, so decidedly the best spoeeli, all things considered, of the official week was made by Professor J. E. W. Bowen of Gammon Theological institute. Although the Negro building had long been finished and filled, its formal opening was deferred till the squad of governors arrived, and besides the remarkably able speech by Professor Bowen a poem of high order by Professor D. Webster Davis was beautifully rendered by Miss Adrienno Herndon, a quadroon recitationist.

I consider the government exhibit by

far the most instructive exhibit on the grounds, and tho arrangements for seeing the fishes are much better than at Chicago, though of course there are not a third as many.

The State Buildings.

The state buildings, of which there are seven, have, as aforesaid, become places of great interost. Illinois was tho last to get hers finished, and it is simply an elegant clubhouse and place of reunion. Easy chairs abound in every room and on the long shaded porches, a fine piano graces the ladies' parlor and elsewhero aro tho latest papers of tho state and portraits of its eminent men. It is pre-eminently a place of rest and in tho quietest part of the grounds, tho extreme northwest corner. Near by is the quaint building woll filled with relics of the dead southern confederacy—fragments of scores of flags, photographs of soldiers taken during tho war— and very interesting they are, too specimens of books and journals printed on wall paper or something worse, curious fragments from battlefields, finger rings made of bono, household conveniences devised by tho ingonious during the blockade and every conceivable sort of edged weapon from the clumsy bowie knife hammered out on tho anvil to tolerably pretentious homemade swords. Across tho driveway south is Alabama's building, with its interesting mineral annex built of huge blocks of coal from her thickest seam. Here ono enters adrift as in a natural coal mine, follows the track to where the electric drill is at work, stumbles in the darkness and butts his head against the strong roof just as naturally as in a mine. And it is almost a pleasure to add that the average male visitor swears as naturally as I ever heard it done in the real thing. In the main building all of Alabama's products are well represented, but it is no clubhouse or lounging place.

With tho so called Florida building near by the state as such had nothing to do. Depressed as she is by recent losses and perhaps a trifle despondent, Florida made no appropriation, but Mr. Henry B. Plant, president of the company known by his name which operates railways and their adjuncts in four states, determined that Florida should be as well represented as any other state, and it looks as if he had succeeded. Externally the structure is a square pyramid, tho four slopes finished with the various phosphates of Florida and South Carolina, and tho effect is both unique and instructive. Tho intorior is a perfect gem. It is Florida in miniature, and one can but wonder how so complete a representation of the stato can bo so attractively arranged in so small a space. Educationally one of tho best exhibits is a model of a great phosphate deposit and the system of working it. Another is a raised map of the peninsula, showing every elevation and basin. These and all the plainer exhibits occupy the center, while all around are flowers, fruits, ferns, palms, grasses and pictures as a great border, all arranged in a style that shows the work of an artist. New York's building is a splendid olubhouse of graystone and is to be a gift to the Piedmont Driving club after the lair is over. The California and Georgia buildings are praotioally part of the main

structures, and that of Pennsylvania is clubhouse, art hall and music room all in one.

A Poor Art Exhibit.

I have said that the Government building is, all things considered, the best, and now that it can do no harm I feel free to say that the Art hall is by great odds the poorest. It isn't fair, I know, to contrast anything here with its counterpart at Chicago, but one really can't help it, and in this case the contrast is ludicrous. In all the building there are not so many fine paintings as one could see in any one of 20 rooms there, and some of the alleged great works are so "smeary" that I can't get rid of a suspicion that they were sent here as a joke. I am no artist, I admit, but surely a common man may be allowed to know beauty from homeliness, and of all the displays at Chicago I enjoyed that of the Art hall most and longest. I admit that I find a deal more fun in the streets of Atlanta than on the Midway, as there are more striking characters there, and my only enjoyment in the Art hall is in listening to the sayings of visitors. There is but one painting in the lot in which the nude is noticeablo, entitled "After the Bath," and the lads and lasses of rural Georgia certainly have had warning of it before entering, for each young couple walks by it with head thrown back and eyes directed straight ahead with an air of not seeing anything which is laughable.

Rural Scenes.

This reminds me of a fact philosophers should study, a puzzling fact to me—that the main feature of rural life in the south is its persistence of type. Right along the main railway lines and in cannon shot of the great modern city the "cracker" is what he was 40 years ago. After a few hours in the exposition it is like an amusing afterpiece to me to come down into the streets, where the ruralists are peddling "truck." There one may see the same old "spike team," a mule in the lead of two oxen, or single mule or ox team, and hear the same old speech. Alabama is "allowed," as southerners say, to have the poorest and most ignorant set of backwoods people, and the ruralist of north Georgia is in natural sense quite a man, but in both states they remain unchanged, and so it is with the "tackies" of Florida and the "sandhiliers" of both Garoiinas. In fact, thoso inclined to change always leave, and perhaps that is the reason the residuary mass is so conservative. Many thousands of them have seen this show and enjoyed it, but it is evident in their faces that they do not envy the possessors of such fine things, and, as to tho queer folks on the Midway, the rural Goorgian looks on them with undisguised contempt.

HERBERT WARD.

The Modest Young Explorer Is Still Actively Working. Special Correspondence.

London, Oct. 28.—Friends in America of Herbert Ward, the young African explorer and lieutenant of Stanley, will be interested to know that lie is at work, this time writing and drawing for a London weekly. It was prophesied that after Ward married tho daughter of a millionaire and went to live at (5 Carleton House terrace, the former mansion of a great nobleman, and now to tho town house of Mrs. John W. Mackay, he would neither explore nor write nor lecture. As a matter of fact he meant to do at least two of thoso things, and he was dissuaded from a lecturing tour of tho world only by the efforts of his wife and her family. Ho has since done a good deal of writing, and his new employment indicates that he means not to be an idler, the hardest possible life for a man of his truly restless energy.

Ward is about 30, and his life from boyhood has been an adventurous romance. An incorrigible passion for wandering sent him to sea before tho mast when he was yet far from his majority. His father was an Englishman of wealth and consideration, with friends the world over, and when young Ward turned up in an Australian port some acquaintances of tho family recognized his ship as that upon which tho youngster had gone out. They did not guess, however, that ho had gone under an assumed name. Ward tells with glee how as he sat aloft one day begrimed and sunburned, tarring rope and exchanging jests with a fellow seaman, a richly appointed carriage with coachman and footman clattered down to the wharf, and the young delinquent heard from his safe perch a distinguished looking gentleman insisting that Herbert Ward was aboard that particular ship. The puzzled old gentleman drove away unsatisfied, but Ward eventually called upon him in the habiliments of civilization.

When Ward came out of Africa after something like a quarrel with Stanley, he had been steadily since boyhood serving before tho mast, following the head hunters of Borneo and tramping through tho wilderness of the Kongo country. All this rough life, howover, had not robbed tho young man of a cortain graciousnoss, and immediately afterward on his way to the United States aboard ship ho mado tho acquaintance that lod to his marriage to the daughter of tho great Argentine millionaire, Sanford. Ward's old friends found him amid tho splendors of Carleton Houso terrace the same siinplo, unaffected young man ho had been as able seaman, explorer and writer, and no one that really knows him will bo surprised to learn that be has takon up again his pen and pencil.
