POultlced the wrong Man.

Ats famous and fashionable watering
place, a gentleman one night was suddenly
seized with an excrutiating pain in the stom-
ach, which neither brandy, No. 6, nor any
other remedy could remove. His wife, after
trying number of tb ings in vain, and having
exhausted all her stock of remedies, left her
husbands bedside for the purpose of get
ting warm application. Guided on her
return by a light which she saw shining in
= chamber, and which she supposed was the
one she had just left, she softly entered
but was not little surprised to find her
patient apparently in a deep slumber. How
ever, thinking he might still be suffering
she gently raised the bed Clothes etc, etc
and laid the scalding police upon his stem
ach-but not the stomach Of her husband
which no sooner touched the body of the
person than he, greatly alarmed, and writh
ing under the torture of the burning appIi-
cation, shouted HalIoo! hallool what in
the name ofheaven and earth are you about
there? then, with one spring from the bed,
he made for the door, and rushing down
stairs. declared, in frenzy of excitement,
that some one had poured a shovel of red hot
Goals upon him. The woman overcome with
excitement and alarm gave frantic scream,
which brought her husband hurridly from
the next nextroom to her rescue. The hus-
band was so much excited, and also amused
with the singular mistake and the ridicu-
lous position of his better half, that he for
got all his pains; but early the next morning
his wife and trunks left. for parts unknown.
The poulticed gentleman still retains the
handkerchief, beautiful linen fabric, with
the ladys name on it, which he considers
of rare value

CHEROKEE COUNTY.

In this county the first point of inter-
est which presents itself, is the crossing
Littlcr River, which was found to be
the lowest level on the whole survey,
$40 feet above the sea. The great de-
preston of this valley and the elevated
country bordering it on the North side,
will be fruitful of expensive work, and
much examination will yet be necessary
to determine the true location of the line.
The survey crossed Little River near
Hawkins, and thence followed up a
small creek, in nearly North course to
its source, at Steer Head Ridge. Hav-
ing attained this ridge, which is wide
and straight, the line pursued it for
about five miles to a depression at
McCollum's; here it leaves the ridge,
and following branch about one mile,
comes to W;se's Mill Creek, which,
cmptying Into Etowah River about a
mile below Canton, affords a good APP
proach to that village, and assists in the
descent to the valley of Etowah. The
Railroad cannot well be located upon
the emincnce occupied by Canton, but
it will pass within quarter of mile of
the Court House, on good ground for de-
pot purposes. Etowah River will be
crossed on a low bridge four hundred
feet long, with trestle-work approach
on the North side.
The level of Etowah Ri, er; at this
crossing, is 849,38; at the State Road
bridge it is SOC, showing a fall in the
river of 1913, So feet in distance of
about thirty miles.
We crossed the River just below
Donaldson's Bridge, and should it prove
practicable, undoubtedly the shortest
route would be TO run due North from
here, and at right angles to the valley of
Etowah. BY this means saving of six
miles in distance could be realized but
with a view to passing through Jasper,
the county seat of Pickcns, the line was
carried up the river. After crossing
Hickory Log Creek, near its mouth, the
survey left the river bottom, to cut off
the sharp windings and avoid the abrupt
river hills between the mouth of Hick-
DRY Log and Sharp Mountain Greeks,
and approaches Etowah again near Mr..
Lays plantation. Here it crosses Sharp
Mountain Creek, and follows very ia
vorabIc valley up to Ball Ground. 1t
now reaches the dividing ridge between
Sharp Mountain and Long Swamp
Greeks, and comes the line of Cherokee
and Pickens about 81 miles North of the
Ball Ground

COBB COUNTY.

The Survey left the Western and At
lantic Railroad, about two miles West of
Marietta, near point known as "the
Pinnacle" so called from its being the
highest summit on said Road-ll56 feet
above tide-lcvel. From this point, in a
run of three quarters of mile, the sur
vey reached the ridge lying East of
MONDAY Creek. This ridge, with the
head waters of Soaps Creek, to the
Eastward, was followed to Mitchelrs,
about three miles from Marietta. Here
the head hoIiows of Little MONDAY
break off to the right, and to save dis
lance, it was determined to make cut
off, crossing Little MONDAY Creek
This can be done at moderate expense,
reaching the ridge again without heavy
grading.
The line between Cobb and Cherokee
counties was crossed in a distance o
9,8l miles, and the work Throughout
Cobb county, will be remarkably light
and easy.

The survey followed the ridge above
mentioned on favorable ground, until it
reached town of Jasper. In this yicini-
ty it will be necessary to drop off the
ridge, in order to effect practicable de-
scent to Talking Rock Creek. This
will be found an undertaking of much
difficulty and expense, requiring a gra-
dent of so feet per mile. Having cross
ed Talking Rock, the line passed through
a favorable gap into the beautiful valley
of Tolona Creek, about one mile above
its mouth. The line of Gilmer county
was crossed in this valley, about ten
miles from Jasper.

May %, 1870.
EDITORS NEWS: The allowed named
place is one of the regular eating sta
tons on the q. P. r. R., the company
having built fine hotel here for the ae-
commodation of the travel on the road.
The village has about 400 Inhabitants.
Distance from Omaha, no miles; from
Sacramento, 1904 miles. It's elevation
is 6, z50 feet, in which one will realize a
material difference compared with the
climate of Kansas at this season of the
year two wooden shirts give more sat-
isfaction than one. Night before last
we had ice one-half an inch thick.
The company have round house of
ten stalls, built of stone, also machine
shop built of the same material.
Amongst other things of interest is
the village dairyman, who Il am inform
ed) has one cow and two good springs.
1t is also of interest to know whether to
disgust other guests by trying to slip
tough1beef steak from ones mouth after
the jaws become tired of chewing, orto
swallow it. It is to ones interest to
know whether the next sup of coffee,
(Which is more strongly impregnated
with alkali than aroma) will stay down
after it is swallowed. 1t is to ones in
terest to know what effect it is going to
have en- the system if it should stick ;
whether it will act as cathartic or as 8
restringent.
The people along this part of the line
receive their groceries from Omaha, and
their vegetables from Salt Lake, which
sell in this country by weight instead of
measurement. Board here is worth one
dollar yer day.
The surrounding country is rough,
broken and unproductive of any thing
save sage brush and thisfies. Some
very sublime mountain scenery about
forty-flve miles distant, which is all the
time covered with snow. The PEOPLE
along this part of the r. r. line have
TO be constantly guarded to prevent Ia
dian depredations. There was some
stock driven from here the other day,
which am told resulted in death to
three of the desperadoes-
1t is wonderful to see the amount Of
travel over this road for the west Many
are returning. 1t is not advisable tor
men to go as far west as California that
expect support by manual labor If
they do, many of them Will return like

any town in the Neosho Valley. Mr..
Graham informs us that fire is scarcely
a doubt bat that the railroad from Pao-
la via Garnett will strike the Neosho
Valley at Leroy. The route has been
surveyed TO Leroy, and is pronounced
one of the most feasible in the State.
The people of Leroy and vicinity are
wide-awake to their interests, and will
leave no stone unturned to secure this
enterprise Among the things which
Leroy will soon boast of will be first
class newspaper. Lands are cheap, and
the town company offer every induce
ment TO newcomers.
1t is but few miles further down to
Neosho Falls, the point of our destina-
tioh. Neosho- Falls, like all other VAL
ley towns, is improving rapidly. 1t has
had long and hard struggle, but new
promises to be large town. Here is
where Col. Goss lives, the man who de-
voted his time and energies for years to
working up this railroad enterprise,
and the man who did more, perhaps,
than any otheron individual to place
it upon a footing. Here is also the res
licences of Hon. I. W. Dow, aud other
good Kansas men.
Among the new buildings nearly coma
pleted are two large hotels, one to be
kept by Mr.. Prutsman, formerly of EN-
poria. We stopped at the Falls House,
kept by Mr.. Innes. He and his excel
lent wife know how to keep hotel.
The rooms and beds are clean. The
table is we'll supplied with excellently
cooked food, and everything about the
house is comfortable. The fine water
power here is improved by large wa
ter and saw mill. A bridge is to be
built over the Neosho this season, which
viii greatly increase the trade of the
town. This town Is also. composed al
most entirely of new buildings. The
location is beautiful. 1t is In bend OF
the river, and is almost surrounded with
a heavy body of timber. The railroad
has become largely interested in this
place, and has movedits land Office here
from Junction City. A large round
house and turn table are also being con-
structed by the company, and this is to
be the end of division. All these
things, together with the natural advan-
tages of location, the immense water
privilege, and the start the town has al.
ready made, convince US that Neosho
Falls is destined to be large and flour.

not become crazed with the excitement
growth and prosperity brings, and lots

there-than any county seat town We

one from some point to the northeast O.
them.
The crops look better in Woodsor

have seen this season. The fall whea
is very promising.
i Having spent day here very pleas

and feeling convinced more strongl,
than ever that she has destiny secont

thorough discussion, even, than it re-
