and, struck by the beauty of the scene,
plunged his stick into tho ground. de-
claring that on that spot house must
be built for him. The structure which
arose at his command is in the style
OF the simpler Swiss chalets. For the
most part II is composed of wood. and
a plainly carved balcony runs round
the upper OF its two floors In its d.
mensiors II is not more imposing than
an ordinary suburban villa, and all It's
appointments are of the simplest de-
scription. Hundreds OF antiers hang
on the walls both within and without,
and the other principal interior mural
decorations are framed prints and
photographs, most of which have some
connection with the chase
The furniture Is plain and substan'
tial. like that Of a yeoman farmer.
Even the room in which the emperor
sleeps during his annual autumnal WIS.,
its Ia hardly big enough to admit the
simple bedsteed, washstand, and dress
ing table, and the chief members OF
the suites he brings with him are. Of
course, no more sumptuously lodged
than their master. A corridor connects
the chalet with a larger wing, where
are the kitchen, the servants rooms
and the stabling.
When the suite is at all numerous
some OF its members sleep at two for
esters' houses, one OF which is close to
the chalet, while the other occupies a
magnificent site on the shores OF the
lovely Wherbellin lake, about mile
distant. There Is no Enclosure or gar
den worthy of the name to shut the
chalet of from the outside world, Only
a notice nailed to the posts warns the
wanderer that some of the paths In It's
vicinity are forbidden" But when the

Boosts Fitzgerald In
Pennsylvania

nard A. Fonl, of Fitzgerald, Geor-
gia, who is guest in the home of
his sister, Mrs. d. D. Sollenger-
Der, of East Washington street.
Mr.. Foil is the youngest son OF
the late Rev. John Foil, and al
though born IN Dublin, Ind, spent
his younger years in Chambers
burg having been pupil in the
King street school building and a
student in the old Chambersburg
Academy.
Mr.. Foil left Chambersbnrg Sc
years ago and for the past sixteen
years has been living in Fitzgerald
"a town known as the Wonderful
Metropolis of South Georgia. "
The city was established in 1894
in the heart of a pine forest and
now has population of 10000 in
habitants and has only begun to
stretch itself. 1t has nineteen miles
of sixty.footwide, well-graded
streets, running north and south,
and the same number extending
east and west. Sixty blocks of the
city have already been paved;
miles of tiled and cement side
walks laid. The streets are we'll
lighted, a sewage system installed,
and the water supply obtained
from an artisan we'll 800 feet deep
which is pure and abundant.
Among it's industries are two
large cotton oil mills, four ferti-
lizing plants in the city, two arti-
fetal stone plants; marble works,
and as cotton market it ranks
high, no less than 10000 bales of
cotton being handled each year.
The city is we'll churched, has ex-
ceIlent schools, numerous railways
vigorous banks, well equipped fire
department snd it's citizens are
honest, intelligent, progressive and
united in their efforts to have it
take first place among the cities of
the State.
The soil of the section in which
Mr.. Foil lives is we'll adapted for
the growing of the cereals and of
vegetables of all kinds. Two crops
of potatoes and of corn can be
grown in one season. Sweet pota-
toes. watermelons and tomatoes
flourish and peanuts yield abund-
ant crops as do certain varieties of
grapes-the Delaware and the
Scuppernong, the one last men
toned making exceptional growths
each year, one party having
stalk that has sent its branches in
all directions until they cover an
entire acre.
The forests, Mr.. Foil says, con-
sist principally of the long-leafed
pine, a species that attains a great
height and makes excellent lumber
for building purposes. Much of
the timber is being put into mar
ketabIe shape, the output of some
mills being from $50, 900 to 200,0 900
feet of lumber dav. Paper-shell-
ed pecans are grown in large quani-
ties and wholesale, readily, Mr..
Foil says at from IS to so cents
pound. The tree bears resem-
blance to the shellback trees in our
own county.
The climate in the locality in
which Mr.. Foil lives is mild,
healthful and pleasant and he re-
CARDS that section of Uncle Sans
domain as offering better induce
ments to poor people than any
other part of it. Land sells at
