AN OLD PIGEON Roosr.
The Land Surrounding It the Mos
Fertile in the Country.

The Land Surrounding It the Most
Fertile in the Country.
CARRoLLToN. GA, Jan. 2L-One Of the
most interesting spots ia HARRISON county
is the old pigeon roost, which is located
three miles east Of Buchanan. The roost
was located there in 1S54-'59, and extends
over $50 acres Of land. This plot of land
belongs to Burt Watson, an old citizen Of
HARRISON. who was living on the plat at the
time these birds made their roost there
These birds would come IN there at night in
countless nun. bers. The plat Of $50 acres in
which the ro0st was located was heavily
timbered, but after the roost was abandoned
not a whole tree was left standing
on the whole plat. The birds
had settled on the trees in
such numbers that they had broken all the
timber down, and to-day there is nothing
but young growth of timber on the land.
Mr.. Watson says that the noise was SO
great from the breaking timber, and the
flying OF the myriads of birds was 80 great
that people could not sleep at night Tor @
distance Of eight or ten miles around.
Hundreds of men came as far as 200
miles TO this roost to shoot these birds. and
would go away with wagon
loads Of them. Mr.. Watson says that the
shooting at nights resembled battle of the
late war
Many old men in HARRISON, Carroll and
adjoining counties remember tn 5 roost aud
have camped there for weeks enjoying the
sport Of shooting them.
Mr.. Watson owns all this roost, aud the
land contains considerable gold and on its
branches gold miners pan" out gold every
summer. Mr.. Watson says that shot can
be found in nearly every pan OF dirt that is
washed out. This shot lie the result Of the
shooting of these birds over forty years
ago. Mr.. Watson also says that the land on
which this roost was located will produce
double as much per acre as the adjoining
land. The roost was not discontinued by
the pigeons until the timber was all so
badly broken down that they couldn't find
roosting place. and hence they moved
their rendezvous.

Experience in a Forest.
CARRoLLToN. Ca, Jan. 2l.-Capt. J. M.

nearly all the cars jumped the TRACK, and

had pulled the spikes out OF the track for
seventy five yards, which caused the wreck.

effort held the robbers off and they had to
abandon going through them. The train
