| Ca ptain Sebring, one of the best
conductors and most perfect gen
tlemen on the road, and started
on our summer vacation trip to
| the mountains Of North Georgia
| We had breakfast IN Atlanta, and
at 5. p m. reached Murphy, n.
g., where we spent the night,
sleeping as only tired travellers
can. At .:3O next morning we
began our eighteen mile drive
among the hills in a comfortable
surrey, drawn by two strong
horses.
The scenery along the way is
observation-disclosures beyond de-
Scription. On one side of the mar
row road is the Hiwassee river,
rushing over the rocks, making
rapids and waterfalls innumera-
bic. The clear, limpid water,
sparkling in the sunshine, looks
like broad band of silver. On
the other side looms up the noun
tam wall, "rugged and gray
hundreds of feet high, covered
with forest trees of magnificent
growth. Ever and anon, among
the green foliage there juts out
cliff overhanglng the road, the
rock SO studded with flakes of
mica that it looks like a great
jewel on the bosom of the forest
In the eighteen miles of dis
lance we crossed forty-four noun
tain streams-verltable types of
the TennySon brooks that
Wind about and in and out
With many a silver water break
Above the golden gravel.
We reached our destination at
1880 p. m. IN good trim for the
bountcous dinner awaiting US.
Young Harris is altogether
remarka bic mountain village. It
is situated in the heart Of the
HlWaSSee mountains, six miles
from the North Carolina line and
$500 feet above sea level. There
is located here a fiuc school, es-
tabliohed through the generosity
Of Judge Young j. Harris of
Athens, Ga. The school is under
the control of the Methodist con-
ference, and employs a corps of
twelve teachers. Last year there
was an attendance Of more than
300 pupils. The buildings are
substantial and BILE, and
solid work is done by the efficient
faculty. Tue esta blistmcnt Of
this school was an incstimable
blessing to North Georgia, af-
fOrding as it does such advan-
tages for the mountain boys and
girls, as in former years only the
most ambitious gained by ardu-
Gus labor and great sacrifice.
The surrounding scenery IS sub
lime. A shOr. walk IN any direc-
ton will bring you to some point
where the glory of nature is I'M
yelled to your eye in wide sweep
ing plain, misty blue mountain
top, dreamy valley, precipitous
Cliff or da,hing waterfall.
Bald Peak, one Of the highest
Of the mountains, IS $40 feet
hig h, and Double Knobs a tritle
less. The ascent to the summit
of these can be made IN strong
Wagonettes or on donkeys.
From the top Of one Of these
peaks the scenic effect of amber,
gold and sapphire clouds, emerald
valleys and the mystic grays Of
the clouds of vapor rising from
the mountain sides, would cause
even a Ruskln to lay down his
pen in despair.
The water is pure and cold, the
verlta bic elixir of life. A half
mile out, gushing from the side
of the mountain, is a spring,
strongly impregnated with iron
and other minerals.
The summer c|imatels perfect.

So many persons called at the Coney Island

the beehive game that was exposed in yester

take cognizance of its existence. He asked
those that said that they had been swindled
out of sums ranging from So to 500 II they
would be willing to appear in court against the

surprised to have them all answer in the
Affirmative. Consequently he sent out an order
last night +" IN" prnpr"tors of all games Of
chance on the island that they must stop husl-

the Klondike. with the further advantage OF

Charley Lane then came to Seattle, purchased
