President Cleveland to visit Atlanta at Piedmont fair
The Constitution reports President Cleveland will visit Atlanta during the Piedmont fair in October and attend a large reception. In St Augustine a fire destroyed the cathedral and many properties valued at about 250000 dollars. The old church’s loss is deeply mourned as America’s oldest. Tom Burney’s wife bore a daughter weighing ten pounds at eight o'clock Sunday night and Tom, now Augusta Chronicle correspondent, plans to visit soon to cover our local boom.

Infant Industries Prove South's Steel and Cotton Rise
The piece argues protective tariffs fail to shield Southern infant industries. Griffin’s two year old cotton mill exports to China, showing vigor beyond Northern and British competition. It cites a home grown boom in Americus, built on local capital and railroad gains, plus skepticism of immigration-driven growth. Rhode Island election results, a Rhode Island shift, and Senator Sherman’s tariff views are noted, ending with reflections on Webster’s dictionary and local commerce anecdotes.
