A feature of the October number of
the Southern States Magazine that
will be of interest to Western people
is the publication of the first install
ment of an extended series of letters
from Southern farmers. Many of these
letters are from Northern and West
ern people who have moved to the
South, and they write about what they
are doing there, how they like the coun-
try, climate and people, and how they
are succeeding in farming and fruit
growing in their new homes. A copy
of the October issue can be had free

The Sunday School convention
which was held at Richland
Springs was well attended and all
enjoyed themselves very much it
seemed. The reports of the many
schools which were represented
were good indeed. All reported
that they were doing good mis-
sion work. The different questions
that were brought before the con-
vention were discussed with great
interest. The great corps of speak
ers which were present did their
best to exhaust the subjects, SO far
as their ability WENT. and the
ability was good, you know, when
such men as Revs. Wingo and
Boldridge spoke, and many more
too numerous to mention. In short,
everything was carried out for the
advancement of the Sunday school.
The next convention will be held
at Red Bank Church, where it is
hoped there will be great interest
manifested and much good done
for the cause.

TO THE WORLDS FAIR,
By Way of Atlanta, Chattanooga,
and Cincinnati-AC Charming
Description of the Trip to
the "White- City,"
PALMER HOUSE,

Chicago, ILL.,, July II, 1S93..
DEAR ADVERTISER: While Aunt
Eta is giving the readers of the
Chronicle a few points in reference
to our trip to the Worlds Fair, I
thought Tweuld 9 part sof
my spare time iinswriitlingsto yous.
After leaving home Tuesday
morning, July II, and Augusta at
12 M. the same day, we reached
Atlanta late in the afternoon and
stopped at the Kimball House.
ATLANTA.
The trip from Augusta to Atlanta
was uneventful. The most notable
attractions along the way were
Alexander Ssevens's home at
Crawfordville, a plain wooden
house, with marble statue of the
"old commoner" in the front yard;
then Stone Mountain, bleak and
bare, not green and picturesque
like the mountains in Virginia;
then Senators Gordon and Col
QUITS residences in the suburbs of
Atlanta at Edgewood; these were
wooden buildings Of modern struc-
ture, large and imposing, with
beautiful grounds. The Kimball
is the finest hotel in the city, eight
stories high and elegantly fitted
up in the latest modern style,
splendid rooms, fine fare, and
band Of music to regale the guests
OF the House.
Uncle B. took us on an electric
car ride down Peachtree street,
where are some OF the hnesC resi-
dences I ever saw. Many of them
are solid granite, some wooden
structures, ,.and most Of them real
palaces.
A good many of the prominent
people of Atlanta live on this
street, Grady's widow, Ben Hills
widow, Frank E. Block, Hemphill,
Porter, and others. Nearly all the
streets are paved with asphalt.
We spent the night at the Kim
ball and left early next morning
for Chattanooga. !;

Cincinnati is a place of great
wealth and progress. Our stay IN
this city was very pleasant indeed.
ON TO CHICAGO.
We left Cincinnati at 8 o'clock
Friday morning and travelled all
day. I was delighted with the
country. It's wheat fields are per
fectly beautiful. They cannot be

these rich lands of the West where
plenty seems to be "smi]ing DER
the land"
About II o'clock we reached
Indianapolis--the home of the
ex-President. We were anxious
to get a view of his house, but our.
train did not pass near it. I heard,
though, that it was only an ordi-
nary wooden building.
Situated in the: geographical
centre of the State of Indiana is
a monument to the U. s. soldiers.
1t is not yet completed and has
already cost a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
All along the road I noticed the
hedge fence, some Of which we
have startedsat home. They are
largely used in Indiana and are a
great success. They seem to serve
as well as wooden or iron fences |
cav some at least twenty feet high.
That is some encouragement for
our home hedgers.
Towards eveningswe approached
the great city of Chicago and soon
found ourselves in the Union
depot with fifteen OF twenty other
trains rattling and whistling
around US. :+&.-s +;
Dusty and tired we Immediately
sought a hotel, which after some
trouble we found. We-are at the
Palmer House, a fine hotel CEN
trally located.
Monday we will commence our
tour through the Fair, of which /
shall try to write in my nextletter.
I wish all Edgefeld could be here.

Differences of opinion, and con-

It is venerable maxim that "no

Parksville Items.

Mr.. EDITOR: The sun continues
to shed it's rays upon this section,
hence it has become very dry and
hot, yet notwithstanding the hot
and dry weather crops are hopeful,
especially when they are so we'll
cared for as those of Mr.. L. t.
Harmon, ]. L. Stone, and others
around the town Of Parksville.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, it would be de-
lightful and beneficial to those
who are interested in agricultural
pursuits to visit the farm of Mr..
T.. T. Harmon and catch on to his
manner of cultivating and terrac-
ing his farms, and if you would
like to enjoy nice dish of beans
he (Mr. Harmony can furnish
you along that line, for he uses his
terraces to raise beans instead of
hay.
The health of the community is
in general very good.
That very estimable lady, the
wife of Rev. B. o. Berry has been
critically ill, but under the skill
full treatment of DR.. D. Al. Bell
is convaloscent, and we hope to
know Of her speedy recovery to
usual health at an early day.
Mrs. T. R. Whatley and children
are off for the mountains to spend
the summer with relatives and
friends, and Mr.. Whatley in her
absence seems to be very dull and
in low spirits, yet we hope that
when the odor that arises from the
many dead srats" that were slain
in the depot few days ago, and
were left without form or ceremony
along the railroad just in front of
the Doctors drugstore, ceases to
rise, he will take on new life and
be cheerful again.
b Providence permitting, the Meth
odist pulpit of Parksville will be
filled on the 18th inst. by the Rev.
D. D. Dantzler and a great many
of us expect to enjoy his visit, also
to appreciate his eloquent sermon,
'as he is said to be one of South
Cardinals most talented ministers.

"Rattlesnake" Bob Gardner.
"Rattlesnake" Bob Gardner was
in town on Monday. "Rattlesnake"
has just returned from Charleston,
where he has been hunting tigers.
His, experience in that city was
unique, not to say startling. He
ran down and Gagged thirteen of
the animals in Que day. This,
however, was the biggest days
work he did. Bob gets his trim
mings from the color of his
breeches, the ones he wears when
hunting the tigers. The News and
Courier says that these breeches
are SO life-like that one could see
Bob half way across Edgefeld
county. Bob wears them, however,
simply and purely that he may
strike terror into the hearts of
eyil-doers. He says that, awhen
a blind tiger lays his eyes on them
breeches, he keraumucks."

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it..
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
[ competitive plan for a club house
on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company's competi-
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
Simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be Judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.

CHATTANOOGA.

The country along the way be-
came more hilly and more pictures
que; the fields looked green and
pretty, and the scenery vory inter-
esting.
AT Chattanooga we found our
selves among the mountains.
Chattanooga is a busy bustling
place and is said to have made
great progress since the war. 1t
has a good deal of tile Western
push and enterprise, but has not
ysf Seen embsl e q ana S beatitis
fed like Atlanta. ,;'1 . . a7
During our sholt stay the prin-
cipal attraction to us was Lookout
Mountain. 1t is six or seven miles
out. To reach this we took a car
on the inclined railroad, which
goes up the side of the mountain.
In some places it is nearly perpen-
dicular, butts perfectly safe, not
more danger than in going up an
elevator in a hotel. The cars are
pulled up by a cable worked by
machinery. From the top of Look
out the scenery is grand. Our
guide pointed out to us someof the
famous battlefelds-Missionary
Ridge, Battle of the Clouds, Chic
amauga, and others. We could
see over into several States. The
view in The valley below and
throughout the country around was
the finest I ever saw. We went to
the famous new Lockout Inn, q
magnificent hotel rerched on the
mountain top ( here we. spent sey-
eral delightful and pleasant hours.
:c1scfNNATr1.EE f;E
Returning to Chattanooga we
took sleeper over the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad for Cincinnati,
an all night trip. As.we won't over
this section during the night We
did not see the country, with its
celebrated scenery, until we ap-
preached near CINCINNATI in the
early morning. We arose in time
to see the sun rise on the Ohio
river, and that alone almost repaid
us for what we had missed seeing
during the night. AT first the river
was covered with a heavy fog,
which waE soon dispelled by the
rays Of the sunlight. AS we ap-
preached Cincinnati we crossed
thegfeat iron bridge that spans
the Ohio. The city at first looked
dirty and smoky from the numer-
GUS manufacturing establishments.
This impression vanished when
we entered the busy city with it's
teeming population hurrying to
and fro. We stopped at the Grand
Hotel, and judging from its char
acter it has the right name.
We took cable car to Mount
Auburn and visited the Geological
gardens, where we saw the elephant
and all his kin-bears, tigers,
giraffes, sea lions, etc.. besides a
varietYsssf. birds. The place is
beautiful and It is a splendid
afternoon resort for city people and
visitors.
The city proper is in valley
overlooked by high hills. The
hills are occupied by great num-
ber Of fine residences. They are
exceedingly magnificent. Many
'lof them are almost concealed by
