was joy of flowers and perfume. Old
Athens is a 200-year old town n gulch; the
new town is on the higher grounds, new,
enterprising and fourishing. There are
great iron mines twelve miles away, to
which a railway is now constructed. Works
are being put up; the cotton growing and
spinning industry is reviving, and the din ol
industry is augmented by the clink of money
Perhaps, but rot certainly yet, Mr.. S. may
conclude to cast his fortunes there.
