TRICKS OF "sTEEpLE JACKS"
Formerly They Gould Waste Months
Before Flying Their Kites Over Tall
Chimneys.
From Cassell's Magazine.


Chimneys.
From Cassell's Magazine.
In years gone by, when church steeples
or small chimneys had to be climbed for
purposes Of examination and repair, the
services Of the "steeple iack' were called
in. A kite was flown by skilled hand
over the top of the structure TO be elm bed,
on which generally upwardly curved
iron hooks were left fixed in a convenient
position for catching the kite string.
With the string once over one Of these
hooks the kite was pulled down TO the
ground by second string attached to the
one which was used in managing and
controlling the fight, in this way leaving
the string looped over its aerial support.
The kite being then removed, a stout
cord was attached in its place, and
drawn over the top of the struc-
place of the string rising from the
ground, passing over the hook descend
ing 10 the ground at the other side. This
process was then repeated, stouter and
stouter cordage being used each time, and
finally a strong iron chain, until at length
a tackle was raised and fixed from which
the adventurous workman, or "steeple-
lack" could be pulled up 10 complete the
adjustments and attachments OF more re-

be observed that some skill was required
for the attainment of distinction Ia this
art Of kite flying. One great adyan tage
OF the process was the delay that con

friends were about coming south to inves-
tigate the inducements offered to settlers
and wished to be informed as TO desirable
localities. Mr.. Halle referred the
letter to Mr.. Geo. Mcdonald, of Cuthbert.
Randolph county and its county site,
Cuthbert, have been advertising the ad-
7antages of that section extensively.
Cuthbert is on the Southwestern division
of the Central railroad. This was
the reason that Mr. Halle re-
ferred the inquirer to Cuthbert

this week, saying that inquiries were be-
ing received daily from the north and

Cuth bert has sent out, and that several

The rum ors of the contemplated consol-

Georgia with the Atlanta, and FLORIDA
railroad have caused much comment
amsng railroad people. The consolida-
tion of these two roads sooner or later
mas been considered inevitable by many
railroad men, and while it has been
talked of often, they have not looked for
the final union to materialize for some
time. Neither of these roads has been
making any money as separate COM
pauy. Mr.. Garrett, general manager of
the Atlanta and Florida, is said to be in
possession of information concern ing the
efforts of certain parties TO get pull on
the Atlanta and Florida bonds. Nothing
is definitely known about the plans to
