From Atlanta and Other
Points.

We left Nashville at $50 a. m.
January ID, and arrived at At
lanta at 7:30 pm. On our way
we saw some fair farming coun
try, and a great part of it, not
very good. The blue lines of the
distant mountains, and the dark
green of the pines on the nearer
ridges, make a view that must
be seen to be appreciated. We
| were met by an old school friend
of Mr.. Wilson, and taken to his
home, located on E. Pine street,
with a beautiful view over the
city. The three of them talked
over old schCol days and doings,
while we listened and enjoyed.
We were taken to see many in
teresting places. Peach Ire e

statue of Henry w. Grady, and
several real old time mansions,
one of thea being the Octagon
house near the U. S. prison.
This we could not enter, on ac-
count of danger from repairs.
The prison is surrounded by &C.
ment wall, not so easily scaled
as the old brick ones. We went
TO see some of their show talent,
also. 1t seems that every one
goes.
Atlanta is an enterprising city,
with fine business buildings, plen-
ty of hustle and capital to back
it-with Yankee brains in the
lead, too. We left Saturday at
$3.50, on the Dixie Flier and ran
in to Jacksonville at 9 am. Sun

We went to Sunday school at
the Disciple church, and met sew
eral of our friends of three years

Park, which was just being made
when we were here before. The
most beautiful roses were in
bloom, also pansies and other
flowers.

the other night when DIR. Elmer B..

incident that happened in his home
state.

was right on the job.

the major. God bless my heart and

Pam was rather grave, though, as
they went through the splendid red
and gold corridors of the great hotel.
The dinner was to be very select aud
private up in the majors reception
room and she wondered what this DIS

He was all she had wanted him to
be. Even Pam could find no fault as
she sat next to him at the round table.
And oh, after years Of lonely striving
among strangers, how it made her
cheeks glow and her heart beat to
hear these two, the splendid old
major and Ralph, vie with each other
in their delightful courtesy and com

said, when the major had gone out

"A Good, Swell Name.s

William Collier in Atlanta, the player
one day was shaved by loquacious
darby who asked the comedian to sug-

shop. At that very moment the razor
slipped and the suds were succeeded
by alum.
Mr.. Collier made no complaint, but
when he escaped from the chair he
wrote. in compliance with the BARRIERS
request, couple of words on a piece
of paper. The barber was delighted
by the suggestion, which he declared
he would forthwith adopt.
