rFICE:—UP STAIRS NO. 38, MAIN STREET.
, Georgia. Thursday Evening, Not. 15, 1H77.
Tins Wiirni H|»» Ii»kh.
It iHHnid that mou livo within nouud of Niu^nra
FiiIIh, and yet huvo never Hein the stupendous
oataraofc. So the writer, 1ms been for years in
tlio vicinity of this natural wonder, aud never
visited it until it became necessary to spend a
few hours there in a reount trip through the
country.
The attractions of the placo are many. The
location is on a spur of the Fine Mountain, at
an elevation the exact figures of which wo can
not now remember; but it is higher above tho
level of the sea than Atlanta. Tho spot is like
a vacancy hewn out oi tho original forest, and
on t ie grounds are many noblo specimens ol
oak, hickory and chestnut, in all their primeval
grandeur. The atluosphero is bracing, and
never becomes sultry aud debilitating even in
midsummer. About the Hprings are good roads
suitable for pleasure drives, and a mile oiT is
the cold spring, one of the most beautiful in
the Stale. Every thing about tho place iuvites
to roposo aud recreation, and it is just tho place
to bo desired by tho invalid or the person who
seeks respite lrom the cures and anxieties o!
business.
Tho Warm Spring is one of tho natural curi
osities ol the world. It sends, from tin base ol
the mountain, 1,400 gallons of water each min
ute, at a temperature ol ninety degrees. Num
erous bath-houses are supplied by it, aud the
baths to bo laid there are not excelled anywhere
ball ou and oiaWl&e'or iicuil your ordora to on tho globe. II01V delicious they are cannot
miAMnEliLIN. BOYNTON k CO., bo understood by ouo who has not reveled in
them.
This water is good for other purposes than
halbiug. Ouo pint contains, by analysis: 1.11
cubic inches ol carbonic acid gas; 13.29 grains
of carbonate of iron; 4.01 grains oxide of cul-
rnup, and nu i.ung auuuuuun. w-muniD ium .»iw.i «,«. cium; 11.08 grains oxide oi magnesium; and a
lull at Uradfield k Slcdgo’s and goto trial botllo. Only j rtl g U ingredient ol hydro-sulphuric acid. llesideB
tins there is a chalybeate spring, aud the hotel
is supplied with delicious, sparkling free-stouc
water.
So much for the natural charms. But there
are others which aro of no small importance.
The hotel iR managed by Mr. John L. Mustian,
and his grandson, Mr. Davis. Everything per-
Iniuiug to the hotel aud tiro cabins, their furni
ture aud coutents, is bright, cosy, comfortable
and cleanly. No place away from home could
be more home-like. Tho cooking, of which we
had several opportunities to judge, was sunply
superb. This is under the immediate super
vision of Mrs. Mustian; uiul our traveling com
panion, who is n connoisseur in such matters,
informed us that tho kitchen was "the cleanest
she had ever seen.” This one iact, with all that
it comprehends, is by no menus a small attraction
to iuvaiids and persons of delicate appetite.
After the above, it would be superfluous to
say we were charmed with tho place. Snlu-
bioUH,iuvigomting climate, delicious baths, min
eral waters, unexceptionable accommodations
aud icod literally lit for the most lastidious,
should invito every summer to tho Warm
Springs oi Meriwether county, large numbers
of those who seek health, recreation aud pleas-
upiopositions were made for the final dis-

« Mr. Editor: At the next conference, I shall,
God willing, take my twenty-first appointment
as a travelling preacher. I have been ntationed
,mong the orange groves and in the mountains,
In large cities and small villages and have re
ceived much kindness every whore.
I am now closing up my second year in La-
Grange and have had great reason for gratitude
to my flock for favors. Last year they gave mo
a handsome suit of broodoloth, and on Wed
nesday iu the afternoon and at night they came,
each one bringing a contribution of some useful
article as a tribute of love. The gifts were ju
dicious and valuable, but their price cau bo es
timated; the loving kindness which prompted
them cannot be.
• lam going to conference, aud, as is the case
with all loyal Methodist preachers, I know not
■what shall befall me there. I may not return to
LaGrango, as the pastor of the Methodist
bhurch; but whether I return or not, I shall
always cherish the kindest foelings ol regard for
all the people of this oity, who have done so
xnuch^o make my stay pleasant.

personally each oue, to thank all through the

Advertising.
Does it pay ? If an advertiser can make good
his advertisement, it is sure to be a success with
its readers, for all have their common share of
human curiosity. When we tell you that we
sell good goods aud cheap, and do not misrep
resent them, that we aro polite and accommo
dating, that we court your patronage and are
thankful for it, that we will vote for you at the
next election, and remember you in our will,
we are not at all afraid of having it tested; all
we want, to gain customers, is to get more read
ers. Ah, there’s the rub. Advertising will pay,
if you can only get people to read it. But ad
vertisements are somewhat like stale viands; it
requires a good appetite, a great deal of urgiug,
or culinary art to make them palatable; so either
we must rely on readers with a good nppetite,
,Jet no opportunity escape of presenting our ex
cellent hash to their notice, or dress it up so as
to make it pass,at least till it is down, for a dish
o la rcdacleur. We believe iu advertising, aud
believo iu the Reporter, and we repeat, all we
desire is your attention, and the trick of holding
peoplo’s attention, we have observed, consists
ii^rat exciting,their curiosity, and thou being
in no hurry to satisfy it, and that is precisely
what wo aro endeavoring to do.
Hagedorn Bros.
A Curd.
To the People of Troup County: Not being in
the citizens’ meeting iu LaGrango ou the first
Tuesday in this mouth, at which time Mr. Cox
and myself were nc. minuted for election to rep
resent tho county in tho next Geueral Assembly,
I was unable to say in person what I now desire
to say through the Reporter, that I appreciate
very highly the honor conferred by this renewed
expression of confidence, aud for which I ;
return my thanks. As in tho lato session of
tho General Assembly, I did all in my power to
promote what I conceived to be the best intei-
081 of my county aud State, so will I in the
next, il you should see fit to return me to that
body. J. F. Awtrey.
LaGrauge, Nov. 12, 1877.
A Mistukvn Idea.
In a conversation with Dr. J. A. Chappie, the
other day, he informed us that there is a pre
valent idea that teeth should uot be operuted on
iu whiter; that it is supposed that in some man
ner, the operations are injurious to the teeth
This is a mistake. So far as the teeth are con
cerned, winter is as good us any other season of
the year; and so far us tho pocket is concerned,
the best lime; for then people can pay for
what they have done. The best time to have
work done is when you have the rnouey to pay
for it; aud iu this particular kind of work, de
lay is always dangerous, aud sometimes fatal.
Il is not wise to run ngaiust a great risk out ol
respect to a groundless notion.

to the readers of the Monthly,

Hudson. The hero is a young man who has boon always
“tie i to awowau’s apron strings,” but who, by thu death
of his mother, is left alone iu the world—to drift on tho
current of life—with a fortune, but without a purpose.
Another serial, “His Inheritance," by Miss Tration,
will begin on the completion of “That Iaiss o’ Lowrle’s,”
