FIRST GEORGIA ClkfCNO.
A Romantic Story Connected with tho
First FIND lii that state.

There is an Interesting story con-
nected with the $500 brilliant that
flashes on the finger OF an Atlanta lady.
The stone is the first diamond ever
discovered in Georgia. and its history
is worth relating. In 1888 Joseph Hal
bersham and William {. Daniel, ply
siclans OF Savannah, spent Il summer IN
North Georgia. and were fond of look
ing into the resources OF the State.
The important events of that summer
are thus told by Judge William W.
Habersham, 4 son of the doctor, who
was a member of the party:
.'In the month of July they arrived
at Gainesville, which was then n coun-
try town with no accommodations
Dr. Banks, who lived twelve miles
from there, met the Savannah visitors
and took them TO his home at the
Glade Mine which WAS then being
sluiced for gold.
"On their arrival DR.. Habersham
and Dr.. Daniel accompanied DIR. Banks
to the miGe. As they stood there an
Irishman who was working on the
slIice stepped up TO Dr.. Banks with a
pretty stone in his hand and asked
what it was DR.. Banks handed the
stone to my father and asked him in
turn.
ait is diamond in the rough said
DR.. Habersham. Dr.. Daniel had said
he was going TO Europe that fall. and
DR.. Banks requested him to take the
stone with him and ascertain whether
it was genuine diamond. and if so to
have it cut and set in lady'S ring,
which he should present to his infant
daughter when she should be married.
The next day the same Irishman
gave DR.. Banks another stone, saying
he had found it in the sluice. DR..
Banks passed it to DR.. Daniel, saying.
i will present this to YOU for the
trouble you will have in attending to
the cutting and setting of the other
stone.
DIR. Daniel went to England and
submitted the stone to one of the best
lapidaries of that country, who pro-
nouaced it a diamond worth about
$500. 1t was cut and set in a ring, as
Dr.. Banks had requested, and DR..
Daniel had the other stone set in Z pin.
which | have often seen sparkling on
the rutfled front of his shirt. The
sight of it led me to make remark
which drew out the whole story.
Now comes the romantic incident
connected with this ring. In 1879
was associated with G. W. Siles, in the
conduct of the Gainesville Eagle of
which | was the mining editor. One
day Colonel Redwine, the proprietor
of the paper, came into the office and
said: Judge, lady sent you this
ring to examine and determine its
value. What do you think its worth?"
''It is a diamond said I, worth
about $500"
"'You must be Judge of diamonds
he replied
"Where did you get this ring?" l
asked, He told me DIR. Banks had
gives it to his daughter on her we'd
ding day. This then was the stone
my father had seen taken out of
the sluice at the Glade Mine nearly
fifty years before-the first ever found
in Georgia-and his daughter had re-
ceived it as a wedding present accord
ing to his promise. ."-JcacelerS' Week

Ia the DEVILS Den

The cave near Joseph Dees in
Hamilton County. known as the Devils s
Den, has ever been a mystery. No one
now living has ever explored its depths.
and many curious tales are told III con-
nection with it, says the Florida Times
Union. The editor of the Jasper Ne1CS
has gone to it at least half a dozen
times with the express purpose of ex-
ploring it, but, upon reaching its open
ing, deep down in the dark rayine,
oyershadowed by tall pines and spread
ing oaks, feeling the cold, chilly cur
rent Of air that is peculiar TO the place,
listening to the dripping waters echo
ing in the cavernous depths, viewing
the overhanging rocks. which seem
ready to give way and fall, and the
impenetrable darkness of the cavern
all combined. have never failed to pro-
duce feeling of awe that would soon
ripen into fear and cause him to get
away from the place faster than he
went to it.
1t is related that in the early history
of the country old Uncle Billy Bassett
happened to pass that way at Il late
hour of the night. 1t was brilliantly
lighted up, and the sounds Of music
and of reyelrv were heard therein. He
knowing nothing of the cave, jOyfully
supposed he was approaching some
house where he could obtain rest for
the night. Going down into the
ravine, he followed its course, till, up
on turning an angle of rock, he came
full Upon the mouth of the cavern, an
opening some twelve feet high and
twenty wide He took look ut the
scene within, and incontinenIly fled
from the spot with the speed of a
frightened deer He said that Oh "A
high ledge of rock four or five uncouth
looking characters were clustered,
making music on instruments that ne
was unaccustomed with, while on the
floor any number of naked yellow
devils about seven feet high were
dancing with might and main. Ever
since that time it has been called the
Devils Den.
Another story is that during the war
it was occupied as refuge and hiding
place for deserters. One of them one
day concluded that, to pass away the
time, which was hanging so heavily
upon his hands. he would explore the
cave and see what it contained. Up to
this time its occupants had never gone
over thirty or forty yards into it. SO,
procuring Il good torch. and accom-
panied by companion. he set out or
rather in, on voyage of discovery. AT
a distance OF seventy or eighty yards
they came across hundreds of skeletons
of human beings which so terrified
them that they quit the cave entirely
preferring life in the army to an
abode with the dead in that lonely
cavern.
