a Trip Through North Georgia.

EDS. misunderstanding an invitation
to visit an old friend (formerly II citizen OF
Cobb, now living in Polk county,) we
gladly accepted, being quite willing to ex-
change the dull monotony Of village life for
few days of social chat and pleasant scenes.
Leaving Roswell we stopped for the night
at the farm of Mr.. n. who has " very fine
orchard of choice trees, occupying some
fortv-five or fifty acres which last year
Welded him very handsome profit.
At Alatoona and Stylesboro, weremhined
for short time, found the people there
pleasant and kind Passing through the
pretty little village of Rockmart, destined
perhaps in the future to become second
Sheffield, we soon arrived at our journey s
end, the residence of Mr.. G. H., our kind
host, where we were entertained dur
inc our stay with regular old Virginia hos
pitality. The next day we visited thepeau-
|-tiful village Of Cedartown And tfuugh
strangers we were soon made Ia feel at
home from the cordial manner in which we
were received. While there we visited the
extensive Iron Works of Mr., West, situated
some half mile from the town. The pro-
prietor showed us his many improvements,
among which his store occupies prOmi-
nent place. having every modern conven-
fence conceivable. We also visited his ele
CANT mansion, built at cost OF some TWEEN
ty-five or thirty thousand dollars. Mr. W.
has our thanks for his courteous attention to
us. This gentleman is daily turning out
large quantities of iron ore and hollow ware
of all kinds. Would we had more men of
like zeal and energy TO develop oue mineral
wealth. This little town GlH also boast of
the most beautiful spring imaginable, sltua-
ted in cool shady grove near the hotel,
We had the pleasure Of meetlng many
charming Dung ladies, who bewltched us
with their sprightly conversation and bright
eyes Alas what would earth be without
these minstering spirits 1t was also our
pleasure to visit the family of Mr.. X. who
received us with open hearted hospitality.
Mrs. RS whortebery pies will long be re-
membered would we could have this
charming little being in our region,
Nature has been most generous In her
gifts to this section, bestoWing upon II Il de-
lightful climate and charming scenery
Why should we pine for other climes,
when so much of the beautiful is within our
grasp. TheIcrops promise a splendid yield
with the exception of wheat which is some
ers say, it viii yield q very ,lSif average, aa
. larger quantity has heegplaAted this year
imam the preceding one. Long will this
Tip remain bright in our memory, the only
regret being that we could not linger longer
with our friends Strange does it appear Ia
us that the cry should bp west west when
so MUCH sleeps within our own soil, needing
but the TOUGH of energy and enterprise to
awake it into active life thus giving pros
nerity and happiness to our people.
