Prosperity Correspondent in Atlanta.
We would like to call the attention
OF the readers OF The Herald and News
TO the old legend or story Of lead
mine on Little Mountain. Thcrc Is
only one man living, rs fur us my
knowledge COOS, that ever saw any of
the lead. lie Is now over 60 years OF
age, and when quite a young boy, just
able to ride bohind his father and hold
on, he went with him and saw his fath-
or gather some OF it and run bullots to
shoot squirrels. Now, why is It that
this mine has been lost, and why can't
It be again located? for It certainly Is
there. or something that takes the
place Of lead. IL there Is anyone who
recalls any Of the facts or stories in
connection with this load mine send
them TO The Herald and News.
We heard IL short timc ago while
travelling I'm the up-country that IL ccr-
tain citizen and hnsincss man Of Now
berry was vending his way along ono
of the mountain roads above Grccnvillc
when beautiful striped quadrupcd
meandorcd out into tho road i'm front of
him aud thinking It's skin would be n
nice trophy of his trip undertook to
kill IT. just ask ED. why IL was ho
mado his companion PROMISE to never
tell on him. Guess who it was and
what animal he killed?
We saw tho familiar fuco of rho
Herald and News In Atlanta and
Grecnville, aud wus almost like meet
ing an old friend. Long may IT. wave
and It's subscription list ever grow.
We'll Chips, old man Kay has just
been over to the city of Atlanta, and
walked md trampcd over tho city with
Yubo, who, at one time, belonged to
The Herald and News staif. had tho
pleasure of meeting the Prosperity
colony, with only ono or two oxccp-
tions. Yubc and his better half arc
just ns jolly as ovor, and then l1Qbbic
has grown To be ns big IL man as his
pap, and runs linotype for tho Con-
stitution, and Nj lss Connie Is us lively
IA over. Then comes Dock I,olnnd,
who Is tho same old dock yot, aud will
be till he dies. His fund Of jokes on
himself Is only cqualcd by Caps, of our
town. We took dinner Sunday with
him and his good wifc, whom, am
glad to say, Ia improving. At church
Sunday morning wo shook tho hand Of
that friend Of every young man in
Prosperity, Col. A. II. Wheeler, who
IL "a jovial and good naturcd as over,
aud take this opportunity to rcmcm-
bcr him to ull his old friends, comrades
and acquaintanccs. Clarancc il grown
and nearly rs large rs his father. Mrs.
Norman, Miss Nina Whoclcr) Miss
Lula Mathews, Mrs. Mamie l}oincst,
Mrs. Mack Kiblcr, Mrs. Jack Summer,
Miss Alma Summer, and that sumo
froliclSsomc Jackie, were all seen. Wo
drove over the city with that prince Of
good fellows, Forrest, and who does
not know Forrest. He says his heart
is back In old South Carolina yet. We
wonder IN whose keeping? Also our
former assistant postmnstcr, T.. S,
Hartman. We did not get to SEQ Dr.
II. G. Kibler, Malcolm, "Billic" Kinard
nor his sister, Miss Corrie.
Yes, Chips, I actually mustered up
courage and rode up to tho top Of the
Equitable Building, eight stories high,
and took In the city from It's top, and
you just ought to have sccn this coun-
try ynhoo. After tho first trip It was
such good easy riding that just want
cd to ride and ride, and 1t was free ut
that, and you know when country
man like myself gets to II city he takes
in all the free things. Say, Chips, did
you ever eat II Winncworst or a hot
tomolly? They arc not free, and some
times get left. Yes, Chips, got into
court over there, city and county, in.
ferior and superior, upstairs and down
stairs, and just got mixed up generally.
There arc enough lawyers in Atlanta
to either hang or clear the entire pop
ulation of that State. no go into the
city court and watch a call, puts you
in mind Of a great big crowd at a po-
litical gathering, except one man, tho
Judge, could stop the wrangling. 1t
beats old South Carolina, all hollow.
Go over and take 1t IN; just can't tell
you, old boy, what | did see. did
wish for you as was tramping through
Hobo Hollow trying to find Mitchell
Street. Oh! Chips, you just ought to
go on White Hall Street and look at
the windows. must stop giving you
any pointers on Atlanta or the Office
cae will get this and you will miss all
this information and get lost when you
go to 'tErlanter" Verbem sat, old boy.
