Editor Morning Nescs: 1t is seldom but
that a sporadic case of some prevailing dis
ease will manifest itself at some time and
place we are little expecting il, and thus it is
with the boom" fever which we hear and read
about continually. We find that the village Of
Eden, no doubt from its proximity to your
prosperous city, has contracted this affection,
and has a most severe attack of it. But a short
time since there were only two dwelling houses
and one store at this place AS the passer by
on the railroad looked out of the car window

to admire But TO-DAY how different it is Tenn

front of one Of the above mentioned houses, and
as you pass through the gate and up the walk
The delightful perfume of the many fragrant
flowers causes you almost for the moment to
imagine that you we're in the original garden of
Eden. The other dwelling house has been
thoroughly remodelled. and now reflects great
credit on the place, while the garden Vies with
the former in beauty and loneliness. We also
find three more substantial residences recently
erected just by the side of the railroad, and the
business of the place has increased so rapidly
that it has been found necessary to erect two
more stores. Within a quarter Of mile we also
see three comfortable dwelling houses and
beautiful grounds OF gentlemen formerly OF
your city, two of whom continue to do business
there recent visit to one of these houses
caused your correspondent almost to feel that
he was among the mountains of Upper Georgia,

is waited through it, and one feels himself TAX

Great attention is now being paid by the gen
tlemen living here toward raising vegetables
and fruit. The grounds are good and the eli
mate we'll adapted to this purpose. Indeed,
this place offers strong inducements to those
who would desire to have home in the coun-
try. 9 are sorry to say that we do not think
the railroad has done much, il anything, to-
ward furthering the interests Of this point.

the race. and are consequently trying to ''hold

they will do better in the future, and we feel
encouraged TO think so, as we learn from a
prominent official that by the of May there
will be an accommodation train running to and
from Savannah in order to enable parties to go
to their business in the morning and return in
the evening without the inconvenience which
the regular passenger train occasions This
will be a great accom- Dodation. and no
doubt will cause many families to take
advantage of the inducements Eden
offers to spending the summer here instead of
going farther away from home We think

residents at $50 month and should it be an

strongest recommendations, and as most of
the inhabitants are from your city, those

We must not omit to state that the Ogeechee
river is only two miles of, and those fond of
piscatorial pursuits can enjoy this spcrt to
their hearts content. Good hunting can also
be obtained near here-deer. turkeys, ducks,

We are glad to state that all around here you

Every one seems to have, and to mind, his own

no light business and we are furnished with
papers from all over the country. consequently
