Al llie coming term of the Su
perior Court while Ihe grand jury
is investigating the public build
ings and intcresls of Ihe county,
We would respectfully suggest lo
that honorable body I hat they ex
amine closely our county jail, and
see whether or not G liner ought
to have a better, more secure and
healthier building Ilian the I (tie
chicken-coop aiTair we now < 1 tun.
The present building is, in the
first place, entirely too small, not
properly or sufficiently ventilated,
and its strength incapacitated to
hold one desperate man, to say
nothing of a number of prisoners.
Its sanitary piovisions are a fatcp,
and some man will eventually
sue the county for damages lor
injury of health under such im
prisonment, if something is not
done# Every summer the unfort
unate inmates are compelled to
< bo removed to the court house by
the sheriff to urevent oltunes a
serious spell of sickness that very
liktly terminate in death, if left
to languish in such a sweat-box.
In hot weather it is almost suffo
cating and is calculated to breed
disease and sickness ol any kind.
We see no reason why the coun
ty should not now commence ac
tion about the matter. It will
have to be done sooner or later,
and probably sooner, and I lie
present grand jury can scarcely
fail to give this question a thor
ough investigation. Wo have had
no bridges buil', no court house
built, or other public buildings
erected lately that would entail
debt on the comity, and if I lie
county is in debt too deep lo
venture oil such a step we don’t
know why it is. I’ickena county
reported through its last grand
jrury, out of debt with >2,000 in
her treasury; and it seems tons
that a reasonable approximation
of so goed a showing ought lo
come from Gilmer county. The
growing necessities of the county
demand it, and we see no just
cause for deferring this matter
that sooner or later mttsi lie grap
pled with by that body. We say
give us anew jail worthy Gilmer
countv and commensurate with
her demands.
GILMER'S BONANZA.
It does not take the keen eye
of a speculator to foresee the re
sults of the tobacco business ol
this county in lho near future.
In another place notice is cal ed
to the experience of Mr. Debord
of this county last yer. It is re
markable and set les without
further fear or cavil the sure
benefits of the tobacco business,
if only given a trial. He planted
au acre of new ground, this being
the first crop, in tobacco which
produced 940 pounds. He sold
this at 8 cents per pound for $72
Now, take the 1,000 farmers in
this county, and lei each man
plant one acre in tobacco, which
will average 1,000 pounds per
acre if tilled at all. Each acre!
will average at least $75, for to
baeco ranges from 8 to 25 ce.itsi
per pound. This 1 000 acres ol:
tobacco in the county, averaging 1
$75 per acre, will brmgjhe farm
ers of this county tlie enormous
sum of $75,000. Take that much
money annually and distrituie it
amoug the small fat mers ot Gil
mer county, and not a debt will
remain unpaid at the ilise of
the year, and thousands w ill still
be in their own hands.
We urge upoh every farmer of
Gilmer to give this business a
test for once, and see from these I
evidences that there is big money
Hi this seemingly unprofitable
busiuees.

a source of great benefit to our
farmers, if they will only comply
with the eouslitution they have
adopted.
A LAND OF MILK AND HOMEY
The Atlanta Conit it tit ion Dilates
on the Wealth and Beautiea of
Nurth Georgia and Western
North Carolina-The Lard
of All in the Sooth.
A day or two ago Mr James
I‘. Jackson, of Augusta, was pa-s
--ing through Atlanta on hi* way
home from a trip through north
eastern Georgia. He had been
over the entire line of Ihe ,Mari
etlaand Null G' orgia railroad
trnm Marietta to Murphy, and had
taken a full and accurate survey
uf thai most interesting region.
Mr. Jackson was enthusiastic-
Everybody who has had anything
like his experience is enthusiastic.
Men go up into that beautiful
country and one back pitying
the ignorance of their fellowcrea-
lures who have not seen its splen
dors. There is but one report from
tourist,capitalist and ( Xpert, ami
that is lliai just lo the northeast
of Atlanta there lies a regoiu ol
untold wea'th and of wonderl'ul
variely of resources. Only a few
years ago that country was a wild.
It was accessible only by very
rough and ill kept roads. It lay
locked in the secure embrace ol
its mountains away Irom the
vision of the outside world, beau
liful, bountiful, rich and neg
lected.
'l’iie first effort to open its
charms, and treasures to proper
appreciation sas made in the
project ol Ihe Marietta and North
Georgia railroad. A lew clear
headed, tar sighted men, appre
ciating Ihe possibilities of tint
country, resolved to connect it by
an iron highway with the grea l
arteries of commerce and to
make easy Ihe approach to its
treasury of natural wealth. They
obtained a charter and began
tho construction of a narrow
gauge railroad from Marietta to
ward Ihe Blue It dge. There ate
gentlemen in Atlanta to-day
who very distinctly remember
how Colonel It. F Maddox, one ol
ihe pioneers in this movement,
enticed them lo an excursion on
this road when it had been com
pleted to a point about twenty
miles ninth of Marietta. It was an
observation train on which they
travelled. The flat cars were
delightful as they whizzed m
the mild spring air, so long as Hu
skies were clear. But the fickle
-kiop proved lal.te and before the
trip was over un April shower
began to pour on tlie excursion
ists. Colonel Maddox exhorted
the engineer to nis best efforts
and lie soon reached a village
whore the kind hearted inhabitants
loaned enough umbrellas to pro
tect their visitors from further
drenching. This incident hap
pened
ONLY A VICW YUAKS AGO.
Then the little railroad was mak
ing its was into the most sparsely
populated and the wildest region
of Ueogia. A wonderiul change
has been wrought since that little
parly of excursionists were bap
t'ited outlie open cars. The Ma
riei ta audjiorlh Georgia railroad
has penetrated (lie va leys and
crept over the crests which lie be
tween M irieila and Murphy, N. C.
and is making its way steadily
toward Knoxville. It has already
opened up a country which for
natural wealth and attractions is
unsurpassed on this continent, a
country the future of which it is
impossible adequately to esti
mate. It seems that nature has
lavished her wealth on this region,
lhe soil is singulatly rich and the
forests are splendid with a variety
ot timber. Nowhere are there
lairer landscapes, more enchant
ing scenery, more agreeable cli
mate. Bui these tilings do not
constitute the great claim of this
region to I lie attention ot the
world. Its mineral deposits make
it to those who know anything ol
their variety and extent the most
interesting portion of the south.
IN MARBLE,
perhaps 110.01 her region on earth
is so rich ly endowed. Enterprise
and capital have been hitherto
mainly directed in this section to
a development of its mines ol
marble. Four or five inexhausi
ible mines are now being worked
They are sending their supplies
all over the country and several
years of quam ing have not sen
sibly diminished their wealth.
Close beside them 1 e other mines
as rich and as inexhaustible which
are yet untouched. Beiween Ma
rietta and Murphy there is invest
ed at least
two million dollars
in marble mines amt machinery.
The American Marble company,
appreciating tlie magnitude il
this opportunity, has e*ub i.l.ed
at Marietta the largest aud tuos

• liousitiid different *lia|i- s by I hi*
company. O.ie q tarry company
alone is hound by conirscl In
lurnish not lea ll.au nine not
more than fifteen car loads nt
marble a day. Toe best maenin
cry that liaa vet been ilefiaed i
kept al work to cut this marble
into every shape which can serve
ihe uses or fancy of man. Two
oilier great culling esiablish
mems are kepi lunsiaoily en
gaged on Hie products of the
marble mines. Tliere is no end
to the Variety ol Ihe marble, it
is found in all c-< lors, from Ihe
juifl eked white to the solid
black, and a quality winch ai
| ready lec-oginzed and sought by
i architects and con raelors all
I over the country. Toe leading
architect of Boston is now in
northeast Georgia trying to ob
lain the marl 1 ■ for several great
j buildings lie is now erecting,
j Willi all their machinery and
[their rapid methods of operation,
[the in a 1 1* I e cutting establish
ment* are over three months be
hind I heir ordeis, and are com
pelled to refuse prolered con
tracts every day.
Marble is so common in north
east Georgia that it is put to un
heard of uses. Though it is gen
erally the synonym of palatial
splendor it is the familiar mate
rial of poverty there. It is no
uncommon thing to see a log
cabin with it chimney ol snowy
marble. Most of ihe culverts on
tin Marietta and North Georgia
railroad an; built ol maible, and
the piers of several bridges are
ol inu■ Me winch is worthy to be
woikisd into statuary. The beds
of many of the mountain streams
in that region are of while and
pink marble. The water flows
ov“r these smooth courses as
bright and clear as went the
streams to ihe polished lavato
ries of u R iinan emperor.
Bat the inexhaustible and vu—'
tied marble is only one of the
many treasures of this country,
it contains the finest
DEPOSITS OR MANGANESE
on litis continent. The value oi
these is being appreciated and
some of Hie richest of these man
ganese mines will soon be open
ed, Doting the past week $90,-
000 cash was paid for a maug it
ese tie posit near Murphy, and
there being no other near there
which could not be touched at
those figures.
In iron ores no region is richer.
Tlie grade ot the ore is unusually
line, Tnere are many deposits ol
iron there which are of as high
grade as the lumnus Cranberry
ores ol N irlh Carolina. In mag
netic iron no part of me country
can furnish such specimens.
Several pieces of ore winch had
been picked up on the surface
were found lo lie so strongly mag
uetized that they would suspend
a shingle nail. The iron ot the
region is illimitable, and the
best product ol nature in that
tine. One ol tlie most valuabn
ol the recent discoveries in tins
new E DTado is
MINERAL PAINT.
It is found in large quantities and
is of the very finest quality. A
shrewd northern capitalist is now
working one of ihese deposits. It
costs him $5 a ion to get Ins ores
tu the railroad, and even at that
rate lie is making big money on
them.
In timber this is lhe richest
section ol Georgia, if not of the
entire soul h. Oak, hickory, cherry
oestnut, maple, and poplar grow
in prolusion and to superb devel
mein. There is a curly poplar
which seems to be peculiar to this
region, and it is an exceptionally
beauiitu! wood. The cherry is
the finest to be bad anywhereanu
tlte chestnunt the very best o; its
species. Ail the woods used in
the general uiauinacture ol fur
niture around in Ihese great for

ties afforded by ilte heavily lim
