MISS LeaIlefhedu ~ NASAS W OSOA-
gia, and Gives Her Experiences.
Mr.. EDIToR;-I hav bin thinking for
some time that would writ to the deer
old HERALD, but seeing so many sights,
and being with so many people has
caused me to deier that pleasure. How.
ever l shall now return TO my first love,
and give a short account of my sojourn
in Georgia.
Leaving Columbia on the evening
train, we Travelled all night, reaching
Atlanta in dew time. Next morning
we wus met by party of relatives who
insisted on us spending the day there
in order to show us the sights OF the
city, and sights they wus, twol
In tho first place, we went to the
Kimball House, where we had our
breakfast. / WISER feeling powerful
sick, and little out of sorts from rid
| ing on the kars so long, and when one
| of them frisky walters ups aud pulls my
chair back jest as l WISER bout to set
down at the table, got mad and simply
gave him peace of mind, for L can
give every body to distinctly under
| stand, even though l am from Han
| uer's Branch" / amt no fool. CTherc,
| now, | have sed it and l amt going to
| take il back)
| the park, where we spent the a. III. In
| looking at the an-i-mules, and IN the
| language of the noted "TrotwOod," will
| try and tell you what seed thar. In
| the first place, particularly noticed an
| imm 1nse elephant which reminded me
very much OF one side OF our Court
| house, it was so large. The monkey
/ was also there iii its native beauty
| seated on the back of q Kangaroo, who
seemed to be enjoying himself immense
| ly laughing at the humps on the
| Campers back. Bears, tigers, leopards
| and wild beasts from the centre OF
| Africa to the middle of Tennessee were
| all Gagged before my appreclatlVe eyes
| / could not convince myself but what L
1 Al, xNfr nd Nxyh \
| was build. Hearing the gentle COO OF
| the dove compelled me seek the olive
leaf, which discovered in a glass case
| in the museum where found other
| relics too numerous to mention.
| After viewing other beauties of which
| Atlanta should ue proud, we returned to
| the hotel, where, after partaklng OF a
| harty dinner, we prepared to again go
| forth, but was prevented Dy nlaJeStlc
| thunder storm which swept the city
| with such terrific force that L sot rlShI
down and boo hOOed like a two-yer-Old
| Laws a mercy, how did wish for key III
that trying hour, but, a lack day since
| swaping IEeV off for Mr.. Robert Akin
have never seed a peaceful moment
| and if it wasn't for the beauty and chlN,
altry in which am now sir-rounded,
| would certainly think / would event
| uaIIV he consigned TO the deSplSed lot Ol
| an ~oId maid" However, if such an un'
| expected disaster should ever dawn
| clearly on the mind of Caladony she
| will accept the invitation Wnlcn Was 81
| kindly extended from the liquid waters
| of Knob Creek, and l therefore hereby
warn ROmola that their notorious wat
ers will be tested to their utmost ca
pacity.
But back to what 1 was er telling
| AFTER the storm had cleared away we
| went to the depot, and boarding the
train we started for our destination
| which wus reached about 10 o'clock thai
| night. and can tell you 1 wus mon
| stOus glad, fur / alers had borrow
| and scared out of my wits the whole
time on riding on the kars Again,
| came very near being robbed, and If i
| had not bin Fur the great presence OF
| mind fur which am noted, woulden'
have had a red cent to-day; but to SHOW
| YOU what a narrow escape had, VIII
tell YOU about hit. AT Nashville W.
