In Chattanooga we had some trouble
in finding the place where our
Fort Negley stood as the ground
is all covered with fine residences, and
for half mile farther out towards
Missionary Ridge it is all built up; so,
for the benefit of any comrade who may
hereafter be seeking the spot will say
that on the front lawn of No. 20 Nit
chell avenue can be found tablet rep

Negley. The spring down in the ravine

Fine concrete roads lead out Of
Chattanooga in every direction, the one

The top of Lookout Mountain is

There is an eletric road that wind
around for miles on both sides of the

an incline straight up the side of the

On a recent trip to Georgia going by
way of Petersburg, Raleigh and South
ern Pines and returning by way of At"
lanta. Chattanooga and Fredericks =
burg stopping several days at each
place coming back, many interesting
things were seen.
At Americus, Georgia, little far
ther south than Savannah, where TWEEN
ty years ago there was nothing but a
sign board beside the railroad, there is
how thriving and busy town Of ten
thousond people and the best built,
cleanest and prettiest town that have
ever seen; broad, smoothly paved and
clean streets, el1ctric lig hts and water
works, fine and substantial business
blocks and residences that will stand
comparison with those in restricted
neighborhoods in the north.
The town is very prosperous being
central in the cotton, peach and apecan
district.
It has splendid country roads leading
in every direction. We drove1 about
fifty miles in a machine on different
roads without seeing single bad place
and what was more remarkable those
who drive machines in that country and
they are plentiful, are not blowing
their horns all the time ordering people
to get out of the way. In fifty mile
ride in town and country the gentleman
who drove us never touched his horn
single time; if any one was in the road
; he slowed down instead of killing them.
We saw hundreds of acres of peach trees
| in full bloom on the sixth OF
April and some thousands OF
acres of paper shell pecan trees under
cultivation.
On the premises of Mr.. 81. W. Smith
wick we saw over sixty acres of thrift
ty pecan trees, and then there were
peaches, pears, apples, English wal
nuts, figs. oranges, grape fruit, lemons
and olives and for neighborhood fielc
crops, wheat, corn, cotton, alfalfa,
oats, potatoes and tobacco, ali grown
without irrigation.
We saw very few razor back hogs
anywhere in the south, but in their
place plenty of sleek Berkshires fatten
| ing in alfalfa pastures, and every hors'
and mule that we saw was in goot
order.
So much has been written abou
Atlanta that will not use your space
| it is simply wonderful city.
At Chattanooga We stopped at tn

Crutchfeld House that knew in wa

deed the most important of them all.
Many times during the years when he
had been struggling for a foothold as a
writer Of short stories, he had submit
ted his tales, including the best of
them, to the editor Of this publication.
Always had they come back with the
conventional printed slip. When he
reached the topmost rung of the ladder
he refrained from submitting anything
to that particular publication He rip
