Tribune-Dear Sir | notice 10
your paper statement that | had
introduced bill for the establish
ment of branch mint in Atlanta
This is a mistake. | did introduce
a bill to establish such G mint at
Marietta, in the 7th congressional
district. Believing that Marietta
was the very centre of the gold belt
of Georgia and on tho high way
from the West; and more eligibly
located for mint than either Atlan>
ia, Athens or Augusta; which had
been favorsbly mentioned in counec-
ton Herewith, l did not hesitate to
give my efforts and influence to Ma
rietta. It's doubtful if any place in
Georgia will be able to secure this
mint, but if Georgia should be the
favored State, Marietta should be the
favored place.
When this session terminates

of my fidelity to her commercial in

have mistaken Atlanta for Marietta.

FAITH.

This is a river ever flowing
On towards an unknown sea,
Past the isles offancied dreamland.
To the distant 'Is to be,
And sweeping shadows of the palm,
Bend low in meek and tuneful rhyme,
Kissing the waters passion tossed
Upon the River Time
And we with outstretched pleading hands,
Pass Others born upon the tide,
Pointing with fingers, Turing eyes,
To knocking visions at their side.
Where lilies wet with moistening dew,
Brought from the depths of passion S years,
Float near them linked in handy grace,
With Vices wreath of tears.
And others bow with reverend head,
To ask that patient Christ to save,
To touch the winds that tempest driven,
So blindly lead to Deaths own grave,
The CLEAN of Light across the stream
Is fairer then to look upon
Than Kedars tents of olden time,
Or curtains of the Solomon.
Oh Soul, within which there's yet light
Oh Heart, that has no mantling shade.
Choose but the faith of Him above,
AS Parent, Hclmsman, Guide and Aid,
And drifting onward in that faith
And striving with that hope then given
The shores of Life will yet be thine
Within the Port of Heaven.

EDS JoURNAL-We recently visited the
above institution and were somewhat sur
prised to see the improvements visible on
all sides We found Prof j. G. Lynes the
efficient President, busy at work, with a few
hands, putting things in shape on the
grounds in front. On these grounds, blue
grass and clover seed have recently been
sown, shrubbery planted, and otherwise
beautifed by many wide and beautiful
walks, through and around the lot, nicely
coated with tan bark. On entering the
building we found the first story neat and
clean and everything in perfect order Up
stairs we found a new music room where a
nice large stage is erected. Prof. Lynes in
forms us that another music room and in
fact the entire hall is soon to be completed.
Prof Lynes having conceived the idea,
which we think is a good one, of paperng
the overhead. We have seen the paper,
which has been manufactured for these pur-
poses it is thick, durable and beautiful,
We are glad TO know that a supply has al
ready been ordered for this building. This
Hall when completed will be the largest
and most beautiful in the city. The grounds
in rear of the building are also to be terraced
to the railroad and otherwise beautified.
After having gone through the building
and witnessed the system and good order, we
were not surprised when we saw the bright
and happy faces promenading in front.
