Georgia's Picturesque Ruin.

A more romantic spot than the ruins
of Cooper's iron works can not be
found in Georgia. Great rocks rise up
in rugged grandeur. bearing on their
sides clam berng vines and ripening
berries. Old houses are crumbling in
TO ruin and trees are growing up
through decaying floors. An ancient
mill stands on the rivers bank and the
water goes bounding over the old rock
dam. 1t is place where civilization and
the busy hum of machinery and of hui
man voice has given place again to ma
ture. Far up the mountain side is q
little plateau, where once lived, in n
rude rock house, an early pioneer. 1t
is with much difficulty that the place
is reached, but when once there the
scene that meets the eye is grand and
picturesque. TO sit there and watch
an autumn sunset is better than to be
in the vine clad hills of Italy. Looking
out from under the muscadine vine
that has climbed up and arched the
doorway of the scene down the river
was too grand for poor, weak pen
like mine. The old ''king of the day.
was almost touching the treetops in
the western horizon. A halo of gold
ell glory Hooded the world. The white
clouds that lay off towards the south
seemed to be catching on fire. The
river, under the touch of the sun,
seemed TO be rising to meet the violet
tinted sky. The hills were gloriously
radiant under the bewitching touch of
that grand light. The old Blue Ridge
mountains lowered up far back in the
east. and their stern faces seemed al
most to smile as the sunlight kissed
their brows. From the south there
came the softest touch OF evening air,
bearing on its bosom the last sweet
essence of summer. From far below
there rose the low musical murmur of
the river rs it splashed over rocks and
dimpled in the zephyr-like breath OF
the air. Above us the sad pines gently
swayed in the breeze and gave out a
sweet, soft song that spoke of peace
and rest. Ii was good TO be there. The
sacred stiffness OF the place was cle-
waiting. purifying. cnnoblingl- Carriers

HOW ABOUT THE FOURTH

allow about the Fourth OF July?" said q
gentleman yesterday, who not many years
ago saw the prairie grass growing in the
streets of Wichita.
"How about it you say." replied a re-
porter, to whom the question was directed.
"Yes, amt we going TO have any Fourth
here this year? If You are, it is about time
you we're beginning to ssy something about
it 1 should think, and no one doubts but
we can have one of those times you read
about here on the glorious old Fourth, if
we take a notion. That is the way we do
things here you know. Who is it that is
against celebration for that Gay!
No one. No. not even one Of those six
fellows that voted against the bonds. This
is saying good deal in favor of the fourth
when we say it will be more popular than
the bonds, but it is true all the same. There
is not a business in the city tina. il would
not help. Then aside from all that it is fit
and proper that we should have something
on that day appropriate for the occasion"

best TO try 10 have q celebration and if the
question was decided in the affirmative

STILL tn Y COME.

Yesterday was one of the big DAYS for Ar
rivals in this city. Every train that came in
was crowded with passengers who got of
and looked out for the first time upon the
booming city. All the hotels in the city
were taxed 20 their utmost and were even
compelled late in the evening TO send people
away. -Four snd five pages of the registers
were consumed at each hotel and an inspec-
ton of these disclosed the fact that in one
day people come here from almost every
state in the Union.
One thing noticeable in yesterday visitors
was the large number Of real estate agents
who came In from the neighbor:ng towns.
There is scarcely town Of any importance
within fifty miles Of here but had two or
three representatives of that business turn
up in the city yesterday.
I'VE have need of them," said q gsntie-
man last evening who was speaking of this
peculiar phenomena "Wha: few we have
in the business are over-worked, and it is
quite probable if not possible tha, some of
ours will kill themselves from over-work If
help don't put in an appearance soon. Thee
lots around here are getting too numerous
and buyers too plenty and assistance must
come. There are more buyers than can
possibly be accommodated with the present
supply OF real estate men and the inevitable
laws Of supply and demand make it certain
that those who are anxious to be taken
around ia agents carriages will soon be &C
