that Georgia and Mississippi are the

who has been travelling in those

has had time as we'll as opportunity

there are eighty-seven counties in
Georgia in which man cannot buy,
beg or steal drink of whisky, and

HUfAN FoorrH;HrS IN TENNESSEE
ROCKS A correspondent of the Nashville
Ancrscan tells Of some curious footprints
IN s'nir'ck ut pI,ci No mt twenty miles
west OF Nashville. "At this point Harpeth
River forms a horseshoe bend, making cir
cult OF six miles, aad doubling back on
itself to within 80 or 80 yards. In the heel
OF the shoe rises ridge, forming almost
"a perpendicular bluff on both sides. exteud
lns aSaui halfa mile south in the direction
ofthe toe Of the shoe. 1t rises to tho height
of about 400 feet, aud at the highest point
is not moro than eight feet wide on the top,
with perpendicular face on the cast side
for 100 feet or more-that is, plumb line
suspended from the edge of the prccpicc
at the top would. hang clear for 100 feet or
more before y would encounter any obstruc-
igb a. sde bed :of the river is
% yards wide, but the slope which
6flngs II Is that width at tho bottom is
mostly on the western side.
AT the highest point on the crest of this
ridg, is fiat surface rock, and ON that
rock are imprinted six and half tracks Of
human feet. These tracks are inlented
into the rock as much as a quarter
OF an inch, or in some places more. Th,
tracks are Of bare feet, toes all pointing in
the same dircction-toward the east. Most
OF the tracks are as perfect as if they had
beeh imprinted on moist sand or eurth.-
They are in three pairs. The first or larg-
est pair Is fArthest north. They are less
than the average size mans foot, and larg-
or than the average size woman's foot, one
4 little in adv' nee Of the other The next
pair is on the south side, but near to the
first In size and appearance they repre-
sent the tracks of child fifteen or eighteen
mo aths old. The track of the right foot of
this pair is turned in little at the toes, and
the toes ofthat foot are turned down, as VIC
often see chlldreHs.when first learning to. walk
endeavor to clutch the floor with their toes
as If to avoid falling or slipping. The
Typographical relation of these tracks to tho
large ones indicates that the chill mirht
have been holding to the finger or hand of
the larger person.
"South Of these little trac%s, bat near to
them, is the third pair, Indicating a child
some four to six years old. These last were
made by beautiful pair of fect, AMI are as
pretty tracks US child ever made in the
dust or soft earth. Alfof these tracks arc
within three OF four feet Of the edge of

described. But have said there was q
