A New Sort of Romance.

In all the marvellous history Of the
marvellous West there is no such story
as the narrative Of the making Of the
town Of Sheffield in Alabama. In
January last, three months ago, a
company Of gentlemen, principally
Atlantians, headed by Walter S,
Gordon, bought $500 acres of land
on the banks OF the Tennessee rive,
near Tuscumbia, Alabama. They
paid about $50 an acres. Last week
they sold thirty acres of the land--a
oornfeld with not house in sight
for 8283,000. This identical land
had cost $500 ninety days before
Not II 600 had been spent on it, The
sale was public The deeds were
made to purchasers as rapidly as they
could be filled out, and the sale is
closed. The actual increase in real
estate was from $500 to $280,000 ii
ninety days. The place is the most
conveniently located in all North
Alabama for great iron works, aud
the heaviest purchasers are iron men,
1t is new day for us when we are
beginning to take such practical adj
vantage Of what nature has given as
