ATLANTA'SEARLY DAYS
ITS WONDERFUL GROWTH AND DE-
TELOPMENT.
Anecdotes and "Reminiscences Gathered
from the Old Settlers-An interesting
Letter from MI. l.. T.. Knight.

TERMINUS.
Time has nowhere wrought such miracle
of enterprise as in the growth and develop
ment of the city of Atlanta.
Sixty years ago the area now covered by the
city was a thick forest occupied by the In
dians Ten years later IL became settle
ment of eight or ten families. Then, rapidly
advancing, 1T counted in 1861 pc .)ulation Of
10000 inhabitants. Four years afterwards it
was fred by the torch of General Sherman,
reduced to ashes and deserted. Today-just
twenty-seven years since the latter event-it
numbers population of over q hundred thou
sand people, contains an area Of nearly thirty
square miles and ranks in mercantile impor-
lance among the foremost cities of the south.
Such is the record Of Atlanta, ex-
pressed in a single paragraph. There
IS perhaps, no city Of twice its
population in America that can exhibit, within
the same period of time, an equal number of
interesting and singular events. The history
of Atlanta, in its principal topics, is familiar
to nearly every schoolboy in Georgia. but
there are facts of individual experience and
items of personal recollection that do not be-

this end, and no preparation can be made

and no person-is employed in the preparation
Of the materials used, or the manufacture Of
the powder, who is not an expert in his par

AS a consequence, the Royal Baking
Powder is Of the highest grade Of excellence,
