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. - TIIEFARMERS MEET. The farmers club met accord ing lo adjournment on the first Tuesday in May. There was a much larger attendance than was halatthe first meeting. Con siderable lime was taken up in adopting the constitution alter which a number of our most sub stantial farmers joined. The dub meets quarterly, but lot convenience the uext meeting was placed on the first Tuesday m September, Cos!. Pickens will then deliver a leslure on tobacco culture and Keys N. L. Osborn, John F. Petht and oilier* will deliver lectures on other import ant questions. Thisisamove in lhe right direction and will prove 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 •-ninplet*- dialln tuning •io* iitlitiiFiit In lh* world. It lias halt a million dollars liifnieil in i plan*. A tram load of m*rt*l eom-s down every dav from Hi*- quarries In be iiatofotined iiiio ■ • 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 ests w Inch are awaiting conver sion into cip >al ai tile hands o sk.li and i dusiry.
