An Addition to the Water Power of
Marble Falls.

Marble Falls
BURNET, May 31.-A deed has just been
placed on record by which L. H. Hollo-
way and T. E. Hammond convey to the
Marble Falls Tanning and Manufacturing
company the grounds, buildings and ma
chiuery comprising the Holloway tannery.
G. The new town has taken on city proper
tions in the addition of lager beer power
to the water power. Hence, with still
boats on the lake and schooners on the
shore, the place is bound to become a
popular summer resort. No doubt various
objections to the new business will be
brought forward, as that is a local option
precinct, but all will admit that beer is
not as bad as the 'orange mint" formerly
sold in the same precinct. The latter
| would make the man who drank it
mean enough to throw rocks at his
grandfather or push blind sheep into the
creek.
School elections, to elect trustees, will
be held in the various precincts in this
county, next Saturday, June 2.
Rev. d. II. Dickie, of the Methodist
church, is attending conference at Liberty

A TRIP TO MURPHY.

On the 18th of August last, the writer
through the kindness of the Superintend-
ent of the Marietta 4 North Georgia Rail-
road, went to Murphy, N. C. We will
name the stations on the lail road Wood
stock, Lebanon, Holly Springs Canton
Mabel, Ball Ground, Nelson, Tates, Jas
per, Talking Rock, Ellijay, White Path
Blue Ridge, Mineral Bluff, State Line and
Culberson. The corn crop from Canton
up the Etowah river to Mable station is
fine and lovely to look upon. Near Ma
bel the railroad leaves the Etowah river.
Ball Ground is very pretty place. This
town is mostly to the left of the railroad.
Nelson is fine, healthy location-a very
large marble yard there, managed by a
Boston company. Tates, also a lovely
location, branch railroad to the great in
exhaustible Long Swamp marble beds:
thence to Jasper, a fine town located upon
high plat OF beautiful land thence to
Talking Rock creek where you see hum
dreds of acres of fine bottom land in corn.
The railroad runs up Talking Rock creek
Corn and syrup cane, as our old friend p.
remarked world without end; thence we
hove in sight of the lovely fine body of lev
ell bottom land. At the junction of the
rivers, Ellijay and Cartecay the towns of
Ellijay is west of the railroad, and from
what we could see is improving rapidly, a
large hotel near the depot. White Path
springs nothing but a small depot, the
spring being half a mile east of the railroad
Blue Ridge thriving town of many nice
buildings, high and level land. Thence to
Mineral Bluff, in Fannin county, the best
built up town of its age on the line; a
large hotel, store buildings, livery stable
and good brick depot Thence to State
Line, a very pretty town. The last sta
ton of note on the railroad is Culberson
in Cherokee county, N. c., thence to Muir
ply, n. c., located in the forks of the
Hiwassee and Valley Rivers on high
elevated hill of rich red land The town
was located in an old Cherokee Indian
field in l84l. The Notla, Toccoa, Hiwas-
see and Valley Rivers are pure, clear wa
ters The well and spring water cold and
sweet, need no ice for cooling the water.
1t seems to us if the citizens OF Murphy
or some men of means would build fine,
/ large hotel of at least one hundred nice,
comfortable rooms, the low country people
would certainly fill the rooms up every
summer. A. nj. NoRTHCUTT.

As was going to Elbetton I had

AS vas going to Elbefton I had a
curious experience. was sitting quietly
in the Kimball House and ruminating
upon the scores of men who were all the
time coming and going. I thought I
was alone and unknown and had retired
from under the glare of the gas light,
when suddenly gentleman approached
me and said in a very pleasant voice:
Chow do you do, major; am glad to
see you" He was tall, black eyed
gentleman of about thirty years, and ]
remembered travelling with him last
year, overland in buggy out West. I
said: "Well, what are you doing here"
and he replied: IT am lunatic, and I
am on my way to the asylum at Mil.
ledgeville. There is my guard right there
he said 1 might speak to you."
I never was more astonished in my
lfe, for I knew him to be man of no
ordinary culture. Indeed he was
minister of the gospel, and l greatly
enjoyed his company in my travels-so /
said, "My friend, I can hardly notice
this. Are you really crazy?" ST am"
said he, "and am entirely conscious Of
it. Do you know Doctor Powell?" II
do" said 7. "Will he treat me kindly?"
"He certainly WILL" said I. His black
eyes frightened as he said, "Well, ]
want you to write him letter and tell
him that I am gentleman and want
kind treatment. I have been handcufed
and knocked about like was dog, and
it makes me worse" I saw some fresh
scars on his forehead, and asked him
how they came, and he said, "They fret
me, and I fight, and they fight back,
and get the worst Of it. When my fits
come upon mel will 6r' anybody
friend or foe." "You wouldn't fight
me ?" said 1. "No, not unless you cross
me, and then T am helpless" ~ will
not do that" said I. ~ hope not; I
know you will not. I love you and
respect you, but if you were to differ with
me in an argument would get mad and
strike you" "I will not differ with you,"
said I. Il am truly sorry for you and I
hope DR.. Powell can give you such treat.
ment as will restore you." He looked
very sad and said: eff my malady was
not inherited I should have some hope,
but my wife and my children will be
near me thank God"
His time had come to 60 and / was
glad and I was grieved. What mys.
terry is the human mind. This man was
crazy and he knew it. He.knew the
lights and the shadows. He knew when
he was sane and when lunacy was com.
ing. He knew that I was his friend and
he loved me, but he forewarned me not
to fret him. Some philosophers say that
every man is crazy in some respects and
that we are all cranks about something,
and Shakespeare says there is but line
between reason and lunacy, but do not
believe it. Most men are well.balanced
and believe that Providence made us
to understand everything that is neces.
sary for our comfort and happiness.
When we fail of that it is our fault or
the fault of our ancestors
