Correspondence OF the Gazette.
BoNHAM, July 5.-When our people
become worried with the monotony of
city life, and experience the unpleasant
feelings caused by constant, incessant
heat, let them HE to the loveliest and
coolest spot in Fannin county. 1t can
be reached in very short time, being
only "A little distance from the city.
We have reference to the romantic
scenery along the south side of the
great Railroad pond. We have often
listened to glowing descriptions of the
place, but never until last Friday, the
Fourth, I'D we realize the extent OF
its beauties and pleasantness. The
mercury in the thermometer may he
playing ut the blood-heat mark in the
shade elsewhere, but when you enter
this shady spot you feel a change more
sudden and refreshing than upon en-
tering the coolest cave. Near by is
one of the finest mineral springs in
the state, and the water surpasses any
of the same kind for flavor and invig-
Grating effects that we ever tasted.
No fashionable resort can boast
of purer water than can be dipped
from this bubbling spring. Taking it
all In all more pleasant place to
spend day can be found nowhere.
To show the readers of THIS GA.
zEITE that there are some attractions
the following society gentlemen were
Bennett Cox, Charley Stone. Frank
Fulkerson, Dick Peeler and The GA
ZETTE man. Notwithstanding some
of the party met with accidents, such
as falling in the pond, having the
starch taken out of their billed shirts, ~
ETC., il was admitted by all that they
never spent day more pleasantly In
their lives. We had intended to write
the programme in full and in detail,
but We cast the vote and the majority
opposed it. Why they object we can't
imagine, for they behaved unusually
well, at least better than we ever
knew them TO. But as We promised
to condense we will have to do so, and
will leave it for the readers TO imagine
that good deal more could be said
about the trip in fuller report.
Some of the happiest moments
of the day were spent glid-
ing over the deep waters in
IL understanding canoe. The return
of the first trip up the pond eastwar,:

balance of his days. Hegot tired hunt.

had travelled one-fourth of mile In
the direction he WAS told he would
find IL, and returned TO the canoe with
an artificial SIN lie playing on his II ps,
and remarking as follows: "Dick
Peeler, you dog-gone rascal, the next
time you take n fool notion tojump out

about your intentions few moments

Dick said nothing in reply, but
laughed Till he discovered that all the
clothes 'he had to his namep were also
wet, very wet, yes, wet all over. He
