Suwanee Springs, Fla, March l, 1900
Oh! Suwanee, Suwanee, lovely old place,
leave thee with so much regret;
My memory of thee'll never efface,
Thy pleasures I'll never forget.
Thy moss-covered trees, thy bold, bub-
bling spring,
With the beautiful river close by,
The pines as they moan, the birds as
they sing,
Have charms for the heart and the eye.
OF all places where our poor bodies can
rest,
You certainly discount them all,
For surely thou givest uS all that Is blest,
AS many who've been here recall.
SO. goodbye, Suwanee, and may thy
good power
Continue with sick and with lame,
And may these who come to thee bless
the good hour
When to thy good healing they came.

WANT ATKINsoN's LINE.
Hut Mayor Minis Is Disinclined TO
Approve the Franchise.


Atlanta, Feb 11.-More than 200 resi-
dents of the Fourth ward living near or
on Forrest avenue. of whom seventy-five
were ladies, appeared before Mayor Liv-
ingston Minis this morning to appeal to
him to approve the franchise granted II.
NJ Atkinson for a street car line on that
street. Council passed the franchise for
forty years Mayor Minis is opposed to
granting franchises for more than TWEEN
iy-one years. The company would not
accept a franchise for the shorter period
The people are anxious for the line, and
nearly all of those who entered the Coun-
ell chamber to-day were supporters OF
Mayor Minis. Whichever action the
Mayor takes he will anger some of his
strong supporters. Many think the Mayor
will veto the franchise and that Council
will pass it over his veto, as the vote on
the first passage was fifteen to three.

Going to Try for "a 15,OOO,OOO Bale
Crop This Year, Probably.

Atlanta, Feb. 1.-THE amount of fer
tilizer which is being sold to the farmers
in Georgia this year is. perhaps, larger
tina never before. The State Agricul-
tUral Department reports immense sales
in every county in Middle Georgia, and
IL looks as il more guano viii be used
this year than any previous year. The
railroads have their hands full in haul
ing and the guano factories all over the
country are being taxed to their utmost
capacity. According TO the officials of
the Agricultural Department, this means
that an unusually large cotton crop is to
be planted this year.
