Every Person Ought to Visit it Who Can There Is Much to be Seen That Will Interest and Instruct the Visitors Equal to the World's Fair in Some Respects. The editor of the Smithfield Herald, who recently made a visit to the At lanta Exposition, has the following to say of his visit: Having recently made a visit to the Atlanta Exposition, we .will give our readers a few observations in regard to this, the greatest of all Southern Expositions. A visit to the Exposition will con vince one that the exhibits are fully equal to the advertisements and in many respects superior. The Exposi tion is an almost complete reproduc tion of the World's Fair on a smaller scale. The Government exhibits and the exhibits in the forestry building are more varied and complete than they were at Chicago. The foreign exhibits are also especially fine. The Exposition grounds are situated just three miles from Union depot, northeast from city at Piedmont Park. There are about 400 acres in the en closure. Near the centre is a beauti ful crystal lake. On this lake boats are run for the pleasure and conve nience of those who wish to go from one part of the grounds to another. The buildings are all large and commodious and attractive some of them are beautiful. The Exposition not only represents Southern enterprise and development, but it is international as its name im plies. The accomodations at the Exposi tion are ample, convenient and cheap. 1 he Southern Railway runs trains from the city to the grounds and re- urns every seven minutes during the day at xo cents each way. The Con solidated street railway also runs cars to and from the city at the same price. But it is to c hoped that the South ern Railway will receive the patronage as a big piece of rascality has been perpetrated by the street railway in raising the price from 5c to 10c since the opening of the Exposition. This company charges but 5c to any other part of the city or suburbs, even though the distance be farther than to the Ex position. Verv fair board and lodging can be obtained in the city at from $1 to 1.50 per day by the week, or $1.50 to $2.00 per day by the single day. The managers of the Exposition have secured ample accomodations for the people at low rates. The public spir ited citizens of Atlanta are accomoda ting the visitors at low rates, and are doing all in their power to make it pleasant for those who attend and thus push forward the Exposition and build up the hustling city of Atlanta. There is more activity and push in this city than in any other Southern city. It is second in size of all Southern cities New Orleans being the largest. There are over no, 000 inhabitants by actual count. The population has more than doubled during the last ten years. The town is just sixty years old. Fifty years ago there was only one street (Whitehall, the leading bus- . . t X 1 - c mess street m tne cuy now; ana a iew country stores. ror rapid develop ment Atlanta leads all the cities of the South. As a place of residence it is very fine. The situation is high, dry and healthful, and the climate salu brious, Rfalaria is unknown there. The accomodations furnished by the Southern Railway are, we think, une- qualed by any other line. The route is quick, convenient and cheap. Pas sengers can leave Sel ma at 3 o'clock and arrive at Atlanta early next morn ing. We think all those who can should attend the Exposition. A Parrqfs Inference, I youth's" Uom pan Ion . J Among the neighborhood stories told and implicitly believed in the Massachusetts town of W. is one which we should be slow io asking any read er to credit, but which is interesting as an example of the local wit ip story maicing. ine wucoi umlou sun ders, an excellent citizen of the place, is said to have possessed a parrot ot exceptional intelligence and remark able consersational powers, On one occasion Mrs. Saunders was making cucumber pickles. She had the cucumbers 111 a dish on the kitchen table, and was stirring a kettle of hot vinegar and spices over the fire with a wooden spoon. While thus engaged she chanced to turn about, and saw the parrot making off with one of the cucdmberg. ' "Ha, you rascan t-ou ve ieen stealing pickles!" she exclaimed, and threw the wooden spoon, dripping with vinegar, at the bird, It struck him on the top of the head and though it inflicted no serious in jury its effect was to take the feathers entirely off the top of the bird's head, leaving him bald for a season. Sometime afterward a minister from another town came to preach at W. church, and took dinner at Deacon Saunders'. He was quite bald. As the'fenrily aricTthe iftister sat dowti at the table, the parrot, who had the freedom of the room, came up and perched on the tall back of his chair, and eyed the top of his head with a close and highly interesing scrutiny. And then the bird called out harshly: Ha, you rascal! You've been stealing pickles!" A RAINY DAY. Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitu tion.! Women like a rainy day suits 'em to a "t;" Men folks set aroun an' growl, mis'bul as kin be: It's women's time for rumagin' in chist an trunks an things, Ferreadin' old love letters and foolin' witli old rings. I sometimes watch Mail t when the gronn't been wet a spell. An' the rain is fallin' lonesome an' no body's feelin' well; liow she bustles round' as busy as a bumble-bee an' takes The pictur's down an' dusts 'em 'till a feller has the shakes. An' the old chist inside out'ard quilts an' patches on the floor; An' the letters what I wrote her, spellln through 'em all once more; An' she smiles while she's a-readln. an' sometimes you'll see a tear A-f Mlin on the paper that she's kept fer twenty year. An' then I've got to comfort her, an' so I make a show An' tell her It's the rainy day what hurts her feelin's so; An' Jest one word it starts her on the big gest kind o' cry. 'Till I aim os' wish ther'd never been no happy days gone by. That's how the weather does 'em these women! Never saw A fine, sunshiny day but they was lajin' down the law. But rainy days is women's time fer lookin' over things, Fer read in' old love letters an' foolin' with old rings. The Vance Monument. (Winston Sentinel. We are glad to see that an effort is being made to re.ive interest in the proposition to erect a broze statue of Vance in the capitol grounds. The pre-eminently high places which this lamented son of North Carolina holds in the esteem of the people of the State should insure a prompt and hearty response to the appeal for donations for this purpose. It would be discreditable to us if this movement should be permitted to drag, as is too olten the case with similar efforts throughout the country. We do not believe such a fate will befall it if a systematic and business plan is inaugurated for raising the necessary funds. If it be placed in the Category of everybody's business, in that event then nobody will be like ly to assume the prosecution of the noble and patriotic work in the differ ent cities and counties of the State. In every section, the matter should be placed under the supervision of a reli able and energetic committees, com posed of both ladies and gentlemen. In this way the labor of love could be brought to a successful conclusion without undue and tedious delay. Winston-Salem was the first com munity in the State to erect a public and permanent memorial of this be loved son and, doubtless, will also be represented in the proposed statue, but it will be necessary for some author ized person or persons to take the mat ter in charge. To this end we would suggest that the comma der, or the executive committtee, of Norfleet Camp, of Confederate Veterans, ap point committees throughout the county to receive subscriptions to the statue fund, with a central committee for Winston-Salem, to which the other corpmittees should report froin time to time. And if the work is vigor ously pushed we need not be. long about raising our quota of the fund, and with like system and energy throughout the State the work could be speedly completed. Vance always acted promptly in be half of his people and North Caroli linians should not be slow in using their opportunity to honor and perpetuate his memory, Slander. I Mystic Tie. Against slander there is no defense. It starts with a word with a shrug with a nod and very often with a smile. It is a pestilence walking in the darkness, spreading contagion far and wide, which the most wary trav eler can not avoid; it is the heart searching dagger of the assassin; it is the poisoned arrow whose wounds are incurable; it is the mortal sting of the deadly adder; murder its employment, innocence its prey, and ruin its sport. The man who at the rnidnight hoqr fires the dwelling of another does an injury; he burns the roof, pillar, rai. raent, the very shelter from the storm and tempest; but he does an injury that can be repaired. The storm may indeed beat and chilling blasts assail, but charity will receive the victim into her dwelling, will give him food to eat and raiment to put on; will timely as sist him, raising a roof over the ashes of the old, and will again sit at our fireside and taste the fruit of friend ship and of home. EJut the ap wq pirctdates false re ports concerning a brother's character, wh exposes every act of his life which may be presented to his disadvantage; who goes to this and that brother, tells them he is very tender of his brother's reputation, enjoins upon them the strictest secrecy, and then fills their ears with hearsays and rumors, and, what is worse, leaving them to dwell upon the hints and suggestions of his own busy imagination. The man who thus "filches from another his good name," does him an injustice wfcich neither Industry nor charity nor time itself cap repair'. This is the day of antl-thls.and antl-tbat, but what people need most nowadays Is the anti-billious medicine, Simmons Liver Regulator, the King of Liver Medicines, and Better than Pills: "1 hare used no other anti-billious remedy for six years and know from experienee that for ladies of a constipated habit nothing equals it." Laura V. Craig, Ellenburg, Fla. HOME RULE. THERE'S ONLY ONE SAFE KIND, THAT IS LOVE. Practical Thoughts For Husbands and Wives Partners in Common Inter est and Mutual Welfare Man Not Superior But Simply the Head of The Household. I Biblical Recorder. We have heard much about "Home Rule in Ireland," but, we must confess we are more concerned about home rule in America. The husband is the head of the family; and being pro claimed by both nature and revelation as leader, his authority should be rec ognized throughout the home.' Inas much as this is God's plan, it is, of course, the best plan. It is not asser ted that the husband is the wife's mas ter; only as the stronger, he is to pro tect the weaker, and in the common journey of life to guide his equal part ner. He is not to rule his home with arbitrary laws and nonsensical whims, but to consult the interests of his wife, submitting in his governance to the Bible. No superiority to the wife is im plied except that whicn arises f.om the position in which God has placed him the head of the household. He may be inferior in point of wealth, social position, culture, intellect; still, his headship is secured by divine right, and must be maintained, though assailed by fire and sword and broomsticks. Every institution must have some recognized head. Take the State as an illustration. It must have a gov ernor. There may be many men in the commonwealth possessing more statesmanship, more learning, more executive ability, yet these men must not undertake to perform the duties of governor, nor resist authority; for such a course would result in anarchy; and a poor governor is better than no gov ernor. Thus, the superiority is often due only to the position the husband holds under God. The wife must ren der cheerful and loving obedience to the house band, for he is the band holding the house together. If this tie be broken, every other tie of the familyMs endangered. If the husband is incompetent, over bearing, unreasonable, dictatorial, the wife's greatest embarrassment will be, not in obeying, but in having such a husband. Still, even in so sad a case the wife will find that, for the peace of the home, as well as for the social standing of the family, it is wisest to be governed by the Bible and respect the authority of her official half. Sometimes the husband assumes the attitude of boss. He tries to rule by mere force; but such a course produces, friction, and in various ways under mines the harmony oithe home. The wives of such men ftbjey because they fear, not because they love. They realize the fact that in the eyes of their husbands they have no rights, are in ferior members of the home, and mere appendages of their domineering lords. There is, however, another side to this question. Instead of bossing he is bossed: the hone rule is then rever sed, and tne husband enters that un conscious state for he seems never to be conscious of it which we may term hen-peckery. The wife's stronger na ture prevails, and she fills her hus band's place as well as her own. This unfortunate condition of things is against the success of the home; yet, if the man will not lead the woman must. Inst;nct teaches that the man should direct the affairs of his home. The home cannot be ruled by thun. def and ligh.tning and storm. The law of the home is love. When the wife is the man of the house, the hus band is the woman of the house. He cannot maintain his rightful leader ship by grumbling, peevishness, fault finding, or by any of the little mean nesses of which female men are capable. The wife's broader sympathies will prevail her noble character will assert itself; her larger nature will overshadow the pigmy she, as a queen, leads by her apron strings. If the husband is a cipher, the intelligent wife will be likely to regard him as naught; and if he is a zero she knows he can never be a hero. So it is not difficult to discern the general principles that determine home rule. Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welsh' ton Florida, says he cured a case of diar rhoea of long standing in six hours with one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with this remedy. In many instances only one cr two does are required to give per manent relief. It can always be depended upon. When reduced with water it is Sleasant to tidce. For sale by M Dorsey, rugglst.' ' Why? Atlanta Constitution. Why go West and blow up? Why stay North and snow up?

A Preacher Denies a Newspaper Wri. ter the Oberty to Speak His Free Sentiments. When Editor Robinson, of the Dur ham Sun, visited the Atlanta Exposi tion he got Mr. A. Hatchett to con duct the paper in his absence. As it was just on the eve of the visit of Sells Bros Shows to the Bull City, Editor Hatchett took occasion to publicly ex press his private opinion on the subject of circuses and the propriety of attend ing them. This particular article attracted the notice of Rev. L. L. John ston, pastor of a church in East Dur ham, and that gentleman made the newspaper article and its writef (whom he knew) the subject of a good portion of his remarks from the pulpit the fol lowing Sunday. And we have it that he was in no way complimentary in his allusions. Mr. Hatchett was pres ent and the result is that he has pub lished a card in reply to the preacher's srrictures, which he characterizes as in tolerable arrogance and narrow minded bigotry. The following is the article "As to Shows," that caused the little circus: In the majority of mankind there is au inborn love of the circus. The clown catches the small boy uuanimously.and a great many large boys. Then there are the monkeys, the elephants, the zebra, Darwius "missing link" and many other things country folks do not have an opportunity to see every day. There is much of uatural history learned by the object lessons of a men agerie, and the extent of inteligeuce shown by the trained horses of the cir cus so much that in these days the man or boy who has not attended a circus feels that his education has been sadly neglected. A few good people have an unaccount aple prejudice against a circus and won't see it imagining it is immoral. These have judged something they know nothing about. Some business men object to them because of the amouut of money they take out of the town. This too we think is a mistake. The circus is supposed to carry away more money than it spends, or it could not do business, but so far as the towns where it shows are concerned, the crowd the circus brings spends much more money iu them than the show carries away. The country people are the cash losers the towns the gainers. Cir cuses are a kind of recreation that pays most investors a good iuterestiu taking them out of themselves while they watch the seeming impossible feats of the acrobat, the trapeze performer or the bareback rider. In a first class circus we fail to find anything more immoral than visiting a zoological garden, a Y. M. C. A. gymnasium or a fashionable riding school. Durham Sun. Dana's Code of Principles. I Copy Hook. I Mr. Dam's code of principles, which have been extensively circu lated and much commented upon, are good enough to reprint: I. Get the news, get all the news, and nothing but the news. II. Copy nothing from another pub lication without proper credit. III. Never print au interview with out the knowledge and consent of the party interviewed. IV. Never print a paid adver tisement as news matter. Let every advertisement appear as an adver. ment; no sailing under false colors. V. Never attack the weak or thede senseless, either by argument, by invec tive, or by ridicule unless there is some absolute public necessity for so doing-. VI. Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth nor the only truth. VII. Support your party if you have one. But do not think all the good men are in it and all the bad ones outside of it, VIII. Above all, know, and believe that humanity is advancing; that there is progress in human life and human affairs; and that, as sure as Cod lives, the future will be better than the pres ent or the past. A lecture, delivered at Cornell University in January, 189, closes with these six mamxjms of value to a newspaper: I ftlever be in a hurry. 11. Hold fast to the Constitu tion. III.

Interesting Sketch of Its History and Associations Now on Exhibition at The Atlanta Exposition The Prop, erty of the City of Philadelphia By Purchase. r Judge Russell M. Tbayer. 1 . Independence Bell, or "The Liberty Bell," as it is commonly called from its Revolutionary association, and the unconscious prophecy placed upon it when it was made, is the property of the city of Philadelphia, which acquired its title to it by a sale made by the Commonwealth, in 1816, of the State House and all its grounds, buildings, and appurtenences, including the bell, furniture, and all other property be longing to the State House, the whole being purchased by the city for the sum of $70,000. The seat of government had previously been removed from Philadelphia to Harrisburg in 18 12. The bell had been made by Pass & Stow in 1753 r tne Provincial As sembly of Pennsylvania, by whose orders it was hanging there twenty-three years afterwards, above the Continental Congress sitting in the room below, and rang out a joyous peal when the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence was announced from the State House steps. I cannot help remarking here that, in view of the condition of the coun. try in 1753, the legend then cast upon the bell, taken from the Book of Levit icus, and having a direct reference to the Year of Jubilee in the Jewish Com monwealth, "Proclaim liberty through out all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof "seems now, looking back upon the surroundings of that day,' to have been not only a remarkable coinci dence, but also a silent and unvolun tary prophecy of coming events. For it must be remembered that in 1753 the colonies were all reposing confi dently in the lap of Great Britian. No whisper of disaffection or disloyalty to the mother country was anywhere heard. The only alarms of war which then arose were occasioned by the bloody incursions of the French and Indians upon our borders a strife in which the British soldier and the American loyalist stood side by side, incurring, the same perils and under going the same hardships. The liberty bell had been hanging two years in the State House steeple before Braddock's disastrous defeat in 1 75 5 and in the winter of 1756, fol lowing that event, Washington, then commanding the Virginia militia, as he rode down Chestnut Street on his memorable midwinter journey from Mount Vernon to Boston, to confer there with the commander in chief ot the British forces in the colonies upon the military affairs of Virginia, officers and his family servants, all well mounted and arrayed in handsome liveries just ordered from London, heard without doubt its peal of wel come as he passed the State House on his way to his quarters for he was even at that time, although it was twenty years before the War of Independence and he at the age of twenty-four the most popular hero in all the colonies, fresh from the distinction he had won in the disastrous campaign against Fort Duquesne. The bell, fortunately, is not made of fine china, but is a solid mass of over two thousand pounds of metal, and has endured for nearly one hundred and fifty years, although several times sent on such patriotic journeys, the only injury it ever experienced being when it was cracked while hanging in its accustomed place, in the steeple, and being tolled on July 8, J 835, as a maik of respect to the memory of John Marshall, of Virginia, the Chief Justice of the TJnited States, then lying dead in Philadelphia. If it was to become mute forever, it was not an un fit occasion for it to become so when the great Chief Justice the expoun der of the Constitution, the comrade of Washington, and the last of his intimate puplic friends lay dead n the shadow of the steeple where it was hanging. It can never be more mute than it is now, even if it should make an annual journey around among the old Thirteen, stirring up everywhere as it goes the memories and the pat riotic impulses which are inseparably connected with its history, aud which themselves can never grow mute. After Stonewall Jackson's death at Chancellorsville, a story became cur rent in the Confederate army which the soldiers loved to repeat over their bivouac fires that on account of his extreme piety, when their famous chieftain fell a detachment of angels left the heavenly gates to visit the bat tlefield and escort the hero s soul into Paradise. The Celestial squadron searched the close strewn plain but ithout effect. He whom thev sought could not be found and they returned mournfully to Heaven to report their want to success, B,ut on arriving, they found the spirit of the immortal war rior there already. Stonewall Jack son had made a Bank march and got to Heaven before theml If a man loves a woman for her looks he will love her for five years. Tf he loves her mind he will love her tnr ten vears. If he loves her ways he will love her forever." And every woman believes when she marries that her lovex loves hei ways. The easiest waTappear wise is to keep your mouth shut YOUNG! flEN'S CHANCES. Their Best Opportunities for Success ful Careers are to be Found in Our Smaller Cities. If the young men of the present day who are starting out in life would com bat the modern tendency to go to the great centres of population, and cast their lines in some of the smaller cities, it would be better for the country and it would be better tor them, writes Edward W. Bok in the Ladies' Home I Journal. I know of no young man whom I envy more to-day than he who having energy and ability; has the wisdom and the determination to re main in one of these smaller cities, or go to one of them and start upon a business career with any sort of pros pective success. The hsppiest kind of a life is before him. With a more limited field before him than in a vaster and to him more meaningless city, he can concentrate his efforts and cement his connections in a way that is im possible in a large city. With honest dealing as his watchword e;ery step he takes is noticed. Every advance counts so much for him. He is in di rect touch with the people who make up the life of his community; his acts are known of all men. He grows with the community, and in time becomes part of its best life, and the degree of his success depends upon his own ef forts and opportunities. Make Way For the Countryman. Major Moses P. Handy, in the Chi cago Times-Herald, contends that the countryman has the best chance to win the great prizes in politics. Take the States with the largest cities New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Ohio, California, Mary land and Missouri their senators all hail from the country. The major then takes up the presi dency and says: Did you ever notice how few presi dents of the United Stales were city bred and how few hailed frou. cities when elected? Come to think ot it, New York City has contributed only one president, Chester A. Arthur, and his presidency came about by an act of providence. Tilden, who was a city resident, was beaten by Hayes, who was a rural product. Besides, Tilden was not urban by birth. Ar thur, the solitary urban president, was country born, his birthplace being Fairfield, Vt. In fact, it may be said that no man born in a large city ever became presi dent of the United States. Jefferson, Monroe and Madison were country gentlemen before and after taking the presidency. The two Adamses, father and son, were natives of Braintree, Mass., and lived at Quincy. Andrew Jackson was an out and out country man. Martin Van Buren was born at Kinderbook, N. Y., and began a life of office-holding as surrogate of Co. lumbia county. Polk was a country man all his life. The elder Harrison was farmer born, and the younger, al though hailing from Indianapolis when elected, was born at North Bend, a small village in Ohio, and was country-bred. Taylor and Tyler were "born and raised," as they say down South, on Virginia plantations. Fill more was a countryman, born at Sum merhill, Cayuga county, N. Y., but lived in Buffalo when it began to put on city airs. Buchanan was born at Stony Batter, died at Wheatland and prided himself as being a farmer. Lin coln, Johnson and Grant all three were countrymen, the nearest to city born being Andrew Johnson, who was a native of Raleigh, N. C, when it had a population of a village. It is the same way in business. Al most every great capitalist, merchant and professional man in the United States is country-bred. The men born in cities who inherit fortunes and step into the shoes of their fathers find it difficult to hold their own against country boys like Jay Gould, Charles Broadway Rouss, Charles A. Dana, John H. Ininan and a host of others. And it is so in literature. Nearly every famous writer is the product of the country. The countryman has the best of it.
