FORT PAYNE, ALA.

Among the many thousand readers of THE TRANELKR who are scattered all over this broad land east, west. north and south, there are, naturally, not a few who are looking for ga new location" To even these the state ment that of late years a wonderful tide of immigration to the south has set in, will be no new intelligence, for they know It already. What they are doubtless looking for now is information, facts concerning particular To- calties and the inducements they have to offer to the intending settler. The attention Of the reader, then, is asked to the following brief sketch of Fort Payne, Ala. one of the new towns of the new south, and place the present advantages and future prospects of which make it we'll worth considering
 Where IS Fort Payne?
 Fort Payne, the county seat of Dekalb county, and a birdseye view of which is pre- scented in thls issue of THE TRAVELLER, IS To. cated in the beautiful Wills valley on the lIne of the Alabama Great Sou thern railroad, distant nfty one miles from Chattanooga, and ninety miles from Birmingham By reference to map of Alabama, it will be seen that Fort Payne lies southwest from Chattanooga and northeast from Birmingham.

 word has been said about the healthful. ness of Fort Payne. In this connection, it should be stated that, so delightful is the eli. mate, SO pure the air and water. together with the most delightful mountain scenery. that, as health resort alone, the place has certainly wonderful attractions. In harmony with this idea, a SanitarIum has been erected here, an illustration of which Is also presented. It is situated on the eastern base of Lookout mountain. about l. 100 feet above sea level, and is surrounded by beautiful park. Here. too. are the celebrated MAnitou mineral springs. already famous for their health giving prop critics. The sanitarium is run As Q nrst class hotel. and . com mpetent phy siciAn.

used up. Alongside of these immense beds of red hematite there exists an inexhaustible supply of brown hemAtite or hard ore, which contains sufficient lime to make 1t self lux ing. The mixture of these two ores will pro. duce splendid quality of iron which can be manufactured into merchant iron or con. verted into steel.
 There is also an abundant supply of coal. The coal beds which lie on the company's property are quite sufficient to run all the manufacturing plants of the town for ages, and thousands of tons of coal can be spared to supply the neighboring towns. This coal will make coke superior to the celebrated Connellsville coke of western Pennsylvania. Without coke it is impossible to convert iron into pig metal Here are two things which alone should, and will. make Fort Payne one of the foremost manufacturing cities in the south. But 1t has other natural advantages Among them are the following: The deposts of Are clay are such that the Coal and Iron company has decided to erect 90 0o0 plant for the manufacture of Ire brick. Besides, the immense beds of clay for the manufacture of both pressed and common brick, will fur nish supplies for all the brick yards that may Dc located here for at least . century to come.

 The town is supplied with the purest water from "the big spring. an illustration of hich Is given and which is abundant for city of ten thousand inhabitants. There is also plenty of water for mills. smelters, etc. The valley in which Fort Payne is situated admits of easy and natural drainage, so that all the conditions conducive to a healthful climate are found here. This is all we'll enough, you say, but what else has Fort Payne to recon. mend 1t to our notice?
 It has immense mineral wealth.
