Of nil llii? jivat I'xliiliitioiis that liavc Urn lii'll in tlii country, that which opened S-pt. lSth at Atlanta taliy no mean tin least iniMitant. Tlio Cotton States and International Kx position carries sometliin of its sinilieaiKv in its title. For the first time the Cotton States assert not only their own iniortanep in the industrial and commercial lile of the eountrv and of the world, but their lively interest in modern ad- vaneement, and invite all nations to eoine and sec what they aiv doing fur themelves and to bring the liest examples uf their own achievements tr mutual instruction and ad van tage. in its general features this exhibition probably will not ditler greatly from others that have pre- eeeded it ; in its special features it will 1k di.otinctivcly Ameriean and will particularly set forth that mar velous development of the New Sjutli than whieh nothing in our recent history has Ik-cm more re markable. The S--.t',.r;n S'-itos -were so mpletely prostrated by the civil war and the misrule and roblx-ry of the reconstruction jitTiod, that it wasniiite iiniMissiblo for them to take any eonspieiioiis part in the Centennial exhibition, or even to do themselves full justice later at Chieago; but they were eager learn ers on lxitli occasions, and how well thev iirotit'( bv what thev learned i will now Ik- shown at Atlanta. In all history there is scarcely such an example, not merely of rapid re covery, but the building up of new industries, new methods of business, new institutions of every kind, ami this at a time when the social and tolitieal problems to Ik' met have I ie -ii of the iuot perplexing char acter. Thus the New Stiith has much to -how that must interest us all. She ha alo much to learn, and thi- exhibition, with its compre hensive representations of the art and inventions of the world, will open welcome opKrtunitics to the Southern people and give them help ami encouragement in their new lite. The formal opening was made when the 1 'resilent, though far away in Massachusetts, touched the electrie button and set the machinery in motion an example of the M-icntilie achievements of this elec tric age and a sviuImiI of the nation al charactt r of the exhibition. The Southern jteoplc have made every thing ready and opened wide their iopitahle doors ; it rests mainly ith the jsiiplc of the North to im prove this opportunity to unite more eluxly the relation- uf the once separated sections and make the Cotton Suites and International IvM.-itioll redound to the pro-per- ii v ami glory of tlie whole I'nited State-. Hoots, Shoes and Clothing in rr-at Variety ut Muurcr's, New Berlin. There used to bo ft clergyman in the old town of Newbury, Mass., somewhere back in the last oentury, who was famous for his big words. ( )n one occasion lie was invited to preach nt I forward College. In those clays they used to have two sermons a day. The students lis tened to liiui in the morning, took in all the hard words and quotation, and put their heads togi-ther. In the atbrtioon they apjiearcd in the chapel, each with the largest die' tiotiary he could command, and when the preacher used the first word out of the common course there was such n rustling of leaves that the reverend gentleman looked up in alarm. 1 le was bright as well as erudite, however, and wcing the oint translate) 1 his words as he went along. PORT TREVERTON. Port items in print have been scarce articles of lute. Roally from their raro occurrence one might in fer the town coasod to exist or that the reporter had turned uphia toes. Yet hucL influences would be incor rect, for some still howl, and the scribe is more animate than ever. He will endeavor for a period, to represent Port, fairly, in the newsy columns of the Post. . . . Among the pastimes at this season is fishing. The river is low and game fish are few. Hence many a merry angler sits broiling in the sun, gazing with an abject look at his string of mon otony, and exclaiming, "It's all quiet alonirthe line." However, if fish aro Hcarco tho reporter can help you to a mess of eels anytime.... Nu merous improvements are under way ut present. High Constable L. F.Charles is rebuilding his house i Bognr and Iiingaraan are having their warehouses and Btcamboats repaired and painted ; a new church and parsonage of the Gothic style is under course- of construction...

A Plain Statement. The editor of the Lowistown Ga zette presents an important subject in tho following plain and forcible manner : There are few farmors who would enjoy having their crops distributed among fourteen or fifteen persons in amounts averaging from one to two dollars each, and bo compelled to wait a year or more for payment, aud run the risk of never roecivhig some. With wheat at seventy-five cents a bushel, is there a farmer in Mifflin county who would bo willing to dis tribute from twelve or fifteen hund red bushels in such manner, without security, even if thore were prospects of receiving one dollar or oae dollar and a half a bushel and run the risk of the accounts being paid at the op tion of their customers? We think not, but that is the condition requir ed of country newspapers, and yet some people believe themselves im posed upon if they are asked to deal with tho newspapers as they are re quired to transact other legitimate business.
