Great Conventions at Atlanta During Exposition
A survey of conventions to be hosted in Atlanta during the exposition notes the surge of associations and the expected spread of fraternal feeling. Major events include the National Irrigation Congress October 7–9 and the Farmers national congress October 10–16, with other gatherings from mining engineers to household economics. The piece also satirically mentions the Women's National Council and a controversial hypnotism scene, contrasting serious conferences with sensational social gossip.
