THE GREAT SOOTH. Its Resources, News, Indus tries, Culture, Scenery, and General Prog ress. THE GARDEN OP THE WORLD; More Wavelets of Prosperity. During the month of January the real estate transfers in Ciattanooga amounted to more than 92,000,000; and it is stated that there will be established a horse Bhoe factory, a stove factory, an edge-tool factory and a cotton and woollen mill. It is further stated that in March or April work will be begun on build ings which will cost more than one million dollars. And the citizens of that enterprising and prosperous city have been made happy in an other and—if possible—more important matter. For more than a year a company has been tun neling into the side of lookout Mountain in search of water. It is announced that an un derground creek has been struck at an eleva tion six hunlred feet above the city. The stream is large, and through a hose water can be thrown two hundred feet high in the lower pans of the city. Chattanooga should be con gratulated on her brilliant prospects indus trially, and particularly on her fortunate wa ter “iind.” And the information from Selma, Ala., is no less cncouragii g. The excitement there al most amounts to a craze. The Selma Land Improvement and Furnace Company has been organized, local and foreign capitalists have invested heavily in i*., and furnaces, rolling mills and kindred manufacturing enterprises are to be erected. The city is crowded with strangers, heavy transactions in real estate oc cur daily, and it is proposed to build the Selma ,v Cahaba railway at an early date. And, to further increase the facilities for moving the immense output of raw material and manufac tured products, barges are being negotiated for to navigate the rivers. In view of his exciting surroundings, the sender of the dispatch is somewhat excusable for this conclusion : “All in all, the rush and scramble to buy real estate here is something truly wonderful, yet easily explained on account of Selma’s fa vored location as the coming great iron pro ducing, manufacturing, commercial, agricul tural and railroad centre of Alabama, the most wonderful State in the Union.” Reduced Railway Rates. What the South needs and must have, and what every Southern publication should per sistently and continuously demand, is reduced rates of railway fare for travel and reduced rates of freight. We have already had some thing to say on this very important subject, but we feel that we must keep on saying some thing and urge our contc mporaries throughout the South to do the same. The natural re sources < f the South are unsurpassed, if not uneipialed. Until within a few years they were_ not only a sealed book to the world, but she herself did not know or appreciate them. l!ut now she begins to realize the immense value of her heritage and to comprehend her possi ble industrial importance and political power. And the North is beginning to comprehend the same truths. Hut these great resources cannot be develop ed, nor their benefits be enj yed without facil ities of rapid railway movement, and rates of travel and transportation as low as other sec tions are favored with. To get them the South ern press should cry aloud and spare not Their own interest, and duty to the people who support them demand this of them. Ultimate ly their just demand must and will be heeded, niiu as the Nortlfls now beginning to invest in our mines and other properties, we may look at an early day for our complaints and demands to be endorsed and pressed by the ablest of the Northern journals. To show both the justice of our demand for the removal of the unjust discriminations against us, and the correctness of our position in regard to aid in the effort from the North, we quote the follow ing extract from a letter to the Jacksonville, Fla., Times-l'nion, which speaks for itself. “When cheap rates to the South prevail,” we may expect travel to be drawn to this section, not only from Missouri, but from all parts of the North. The letter is dated at Centerview, Mo., January 29ih. The writer says: “I take the liberty to express my cordial aj>- proval of the able and energetic manner in which you are laboring to secure lower rates on Southern railioads. It is emphatically true that we can get a round-trip ticket to Califor nia for the same price that we pay for a like ticket to Florida. When cheap rates to the South prevail, the travel from this State may be drawn in that direction, but now it goes to California. W. II. Engel.” And Now the “Land of Flowers” En joys a Boom. A late number of the Augusta, (Ga.,) Eve ning News, speaking of the travel via. that city to Florida, says : "The I’ullman l’alace Sleeping car company, in connection with running two sleepers on all South bound passenger trains, are now forced to use extra coaches, as the travel is so large and the public demand the cars. Last night three sleepers came down from Richmond, and nearly every berth was occupied.” The same paper quotes from a letter from a subscriber—an old Georgian—as follows: “Sanford is rapidly improving, and with its many advantages, bids fair to be the ‘Gate City’ of South Florida.” A few days ago the G. A. K. boys at ( Irlando held a re-union and “bean-bake,” lo which all ex-C'onfederates were invited. A number of ladier were present and assisted in serving the refreshments. After the feast ex-Union and ex-Confeder- ates made brief speeches, all of which breathed a spirit of earnest brotherly lore; and the spirit of politicians who persist in trying to keep up the animosities for selfish ends, of a war that was ended by the soldiers twenty years ago, was condemned in unsparing terms and elicited hearty applause. At the close one ex-Con- federate moved a rising vote of thanks to the G. A. If. boys for their entertainment, and while yet on their feet another ex-Confederate proposed three cheers for the Stars and Stripes, which were enthusiastically given. At the recent St. Johns’ River C inference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held at Jacksonville, it was determined to found a Conference school in the state. After canvassing the inducements and advantages offered by diflerent localities, the provisional board of trustees decided to locate it at < (range City, and a special committee was appointed to obtain a charter and take other necessary preliminary steps. Within two years the Baptists have estab lished a college at DeLand, the Congregation alism a similar institution at Winter l’ark, and the Presbyterians another at Winter Raven; besides which there is a State Agricultural College at Lake City, and older schools at Gainesville and other points—which have been enlarged and improved. Besides all this Florida expects to receive from the government 9-100,000 in payment of au Indian war claim, which, with other mon ies in sight will make her yet more financially strong, and enable her to increase her appro priations for educational purposes. THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA„ SaTURDJ Y MORNING, FEBRUARY 12,1887. TEXAS. GEORGIA. The last grand jury assessed the proper ty of Hall county- over 983,000 above what it was given in 1 for. The tax on this tmount would have paid the Sate over 9200 and the county about 9100. The larg est raise was in the Gainesville district, 910,550, and the next GEORGIA.' largest was the Glade 912,525, while the smailt st was Bark Camp, only one man being raised, and be only 940. There is said to be one gentleman in Athens who owns 9400,000 worth of stock in the Georgia railroad. Gainesville is agitating the question of a cot ton factory. Prohibition goes into effect in Hawkinsville on the 17th of this month. The chair factory at Marietta la turning out from fifty to sixty dozen chairs per day. It gives employment to from 50 to 100 hands and puts out from 9500 to 91000 per week in the town. John H. Newton, of Athens, bought a tract of land of 50 feet front by 150 feet, at Ross Landing, when the Indiana were in the coun try. Since then Chattanooga has built up around it, and he has been offered 910,000 re cently for it. The contest in the election in Oconee county came up before be Superior court and has been decided for prohibition. The wets will appeal to the Supreme court. The purchasers of the Etowah mining prop erty, consisting of 17,000 acres, situated in Bartow, Cherokee, Whitfield and Dade coun ties, have applied for a charter under the title “Etowah Iron and Manganese Company.” They have decided to exjicnd between 9500,- 000 and 9000,000 in developing the property, in working the mines and establish Jig iron and managanese furnaces. The alleged discovery of amhracice coal near Atlanta shows that the wonderful Gate City cannot be left in the way of booms. That Augusta is not on a fabulous or ficti tious boom is certain, but if tiie signs of the times don’t fail, Augusta is on a sure, steady, upward uiovd. Quitman, February 5.—The mysterious dis appearance of one W. E. Scott, well known throughout our county, is just now puzzling the minds of the people of Brooks. A new land company lias been organized at Rome. Three hundred acres of land just across the river have been bought and an iron bridge connecting it with the city will be built a. once. The leading business men of the city are interested. Governor (Jordon will visit Savannah Feb ruary 22, and the local military companies and the members of his staff, have already signified their intention to accompany his ex cellency in uniform. The match factory at Gainesville is now working full time and turning out matches by tlie million. TEXAS. Gainesville, Texas. — The Lone Star State may well b e proud of her daughter Gainesville. Seven years ago she was a simple little village of a few hun dred inhabitants, and now- she right fully claims between seven and eight thou sand. Two new railroads have recently been built, one the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, and aiother the extension of the Missouri l’a- cilic. Each train seems loaded down with vis itors and speculators and the hotels find it al most impossible to accommodate all. The Santa Fe shops have been procured by our citizens, which will be built at once. Those interested in real estate ought surely to make a vast prolit. The Roberts, Roman & Co., lioweth Bros., and L. B. Smith Co., real estate agents, find it no easy matter to procure houses for those who desire to rent- immense coal mines north of us, in the In dian Territory, are now being developed under the management of one of our most prominent bankers, Mr. C. R. Smith, and when we get coal in abundance you will hear of Gaines ville as one of the first manufacturing towns in Texas. * -sofAes. lymB/pseJe .mxJ °. ,r-qx)£-xs! p-tit-rd* by our c tizens; also a “city park. Among our improvements may be mentioned gas, water-works, street cars, two large and commodious public school buildings, several very handsome churches and many beautiful residences. What has become of the beautiful and ac complished Miss Bird, who represented your paper? A little information on this subject would greatly please some of our young men, among them— Texas Jack. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citi zens of Kosse, Franklin and Headsville, was held recently at lleadsvilie, a small town east of Kosse, to listen to a proposition of l*rof. Dolling, who represents a syndicate of North ern capitalists, in regard to opening up the vast coal mines in and around Heads l’rairie. After a week of stubborn balloting at Aus tin, with Reagan, Maxey and Ireland in the field, the deadlock was broken on the 2d inst.. and Hon. John II. Reagan elected United States senator for a term of six years. A bill appropriating 950,000 for the site and Federal court builing for this Federal court district, has passed the senate, set ing apart Jefferson, Texas, as the place for the building to be put. Austin, Feb. 2.—Governor Ross to-day signed the bill establishing the county of Brewster. The drouth committee appointed to-day by the governor will leave Thursday for the drouth district, and upon their report and recommendation the 8100,000 appropriated by the legislature will be distributed. The Moore insurance bill which lias passed the house, and against which so many peti tions have been received, will hardly pass the senate. TENNESSEE. It is greatly to the credit of Chattanoo ga that she voted so overwhelmingly to .subscribe 8100,000 Ito the Chattanooga, Home & Carrollton railroad. No city can afford to refur e aid to a railroad passing through rich and undeveloped TENNESSEE. country. Tennessee now has a governor with the pluck of “old Hickory," and machine politicians cannot dictate to him. The bill authorizing the construction of a bridge over the Mississippi river at Memphis was reported favorably to the Senate on the 1st. The appointment of Capt- Frank M. Smith to the position of superintendent of public schools promises to mark an era in Tennessee politics. . Both political parties in Tennessee are pledged to abolishing the penitentiary lease system. It will devolve upon the dominant party to provide something which pleases the popular element better. MISSISSIPPI. The bill to estab lish a court at Miss issippi City, has passed the lower house of Congress. It provides that thej counties of Marion, Green, l’erry, Jack son, Harrison and Hancock shall con stitute the southern division of the south ern district and that court shall be held at Mississippi City, in February and August of each year. The post, office at Columbus, Miss., was en- tered|by burglars a few nights ago and robbed of 9500 in money and several registered letters. The inter-state convention of fruit growers and dairymen, meets in Jackson, on February ltlth. Representative men of every State will be there, and the people of Jackson are mak ing grand preparations for their entertainment. Gov. Lowry still holds the keys to the peni tentiary. The plan to abolish the Starkville school meets with a little opposition. ALABAMA.. Alabama is a great State and is worthy to be well advertised. The great excitement boom, or whatever it may be called in thei mineral region of tbe| State, must result in great gain to the whole State. The great influx of mon ey to that region will ultimately benefit the entire State. ALABAJ7A.' Selma is going to work vigorously to take advantage of the popular enthusiasm over Al abama mineral wealth. The succrssful pros ecution of the schemes she has just laid before the people of Mobile will be of untold benefit to herself and to this city. A coal and iron road, less than forty miles long, over an easy grade, will connect the mineral region near Centreville, with river navigation near Selma. The Montgo nery Dispatch says that “there is a popular demand in favor of making the office of solicitor a salaried one. The people desire it and no lobby influence should be even tolerated when this bill comes up forpassage.” The Montgomery True Blues and the Greys are drilling hard for the Washington drill of May 20th. The good citizens of Bibb county are giving active support to the proposed Cahaba Valley railroad which is to connect Mobile by the shortest railway with the great Cahaba miner al region. General Wheeler, of the Eighth Alabama District, tells his constituents who are entitled to pensions under the Mexican pension bill to send on their papers to him and he’ll file their applications without any cost. A good deal of cackling has been done over the bill passed by the House to make gambling a felony. The bill does not interfere with gam - bling. It only makes it a felony to keep a gambling table. All who want to play and bet at cards can do so, without being interferred with by this bill. If our legislators want to break up gambling, why not pass a bill that will do it?—Montgomery Capital. FLORIDA. T h e Springfield Company, w li i c li owns the Fine street railroad at Jackson ville, is now serious ly considering the proposition of doing away with horse, or rather mule power a n d substituting electricity for propel ling tlieir cars. This, it is said, can be done as c.ieaply as the present system is maintained, while the cars can be run much faster; in fact, they can be run at a velocity of from one to thirty miles per hour. The Florida Railway and Navigation Com pany have had the three high trestles just west of Mount Pleasant filled in with dirt and drained by terra cotta pipes 3 feet in circum ference. Gen. Chaniberiain, President of the Horns sassa Company, lias been elected Vice Presi dent of the Florida West Coast Improvement Company, which is constructing the S. S., (>. & G. R. R. Tampa, Fia., February 5.—The strike of the cigar makers at Ybor City is dwindling, quite a 'umber of the men having returned to work in Ybor & Co’s, factory. Arbor Day was observed by our public schools, and by the citizens generally. The Orange Belt Railroad Company has en tered into an agreement to extend its railroad to Tarpon Springs, and thence to Point Pin ellas, at the mouth of Tampa Bay. Grading has already been begun at the northern end, and a force of workmen will be put at Tarpon Springs within ten days. A corps of survey ors, under Captain J. B. Walton, have been engaged for the past week running out the lines from Tarpon Springs, establishing grades, etc. Tobacco growing now bids fair to assume, without much delay, a place again among the leading industries of the State. boys & dim' DEPARTMENT. FLORIDA. ARKANSAS. Arkansas. In answer to many inquiries sent to re mote sections of our State, we have re ceived responses. AO agree that the pros pect for an abundant y ield of fruit is mag nificent. The win ter temperature has not reached zero, and owing to the dry fall,' the wood wsa fully matured and in fine condition lo meet the cold weather. There will soon be no scarcity of Railroads in this State, where everything is moving up ward. Pine Bluff correspondent of the Gazette suggests Col. S. W. Fordyce, for U. S. Sena tor. Senator Hammons is on the committee to settle back taxes with the Iron Mountain rail road. The Game law of Arkansas is a wise measure, for the benefit of the many and to the detri ment of only the few and the act creatiLg it should not be repealed. Benton, the extreme northwestern county of Arkansas, adjoining the State of Missouri on the North and the Indian Territory on the West, is one of the most populous, as it is one of the most prosperous counties of the State. Three cheers for the man who has introduc ed a bill to compensate school directors and road overseers. Whether the bill ever be comes a law or not, the man ought to be en couraged for possessing the right kind of principle. Come one, come til, ye cousins of “suld lang syne” and leta have a merry re-nnion day. * Lift up! Lift up the gladsome song, To swell the current of joy along, Joy! joy to all to-day! Seize the sweet ere it passes away, But are we all here? All who hold each other dear?” “Yes, each chair is filled, we are all here. It la not often thus around Our old familiar hearth we are found; Bless then the meeting and the spot; For once be every care forgot. Let gentle peace assert her power, And kind affection rule the hour; We are all here—aUherc.,f ; We are not all here! Some are away—the dead-onea dear, Who thronged with ns (bi$ happy hearth And gave the hour to guiltless mirth. Fate with a stern relentless hand Looked in sad thinned our little band; Some like a night-flash passed away, And some sank lingering day by day; The quiet grave-yard—some lie there— Ah, cruel death has Lit share: We are not all here. We are all here! Even they, the dead, though dead so dear, Fond memory to her duty true Brings back their faded forms to view. How life-like through the mist of years Each well remembered face appears!

Adieu, adieu until we all meet again. Lov ingly, Cousin Buutkam. Dear Aunt "nil Cousins: I have been stand ing out here for so long listening to the chit chat of the hoys and girls within, and can no longer refrain from entering and joining in yoiir pleasant conversation. 1 have been in your presence once before, but was “jammed” in a corner among Ob! so many boys and I was so, so dreadfully scar ed I never dared come near you. But that was when I was ijuitb a “kid.” During the holidays “lots” of boys came up here from Macon from one of the Institutions and girls “who’d have thunk it,” I got “ferri- hhj smitten” on one o’ tlie .“brass buttons” and you just “bet your boots ‘bof uv us’ ” had a dandy time. “My heart is gone And I’m forlorn,” For he lias returned to school. “Bonnie Sweet Bessie” let me hear a few words of love and sympathy from your sweet lips to soothe this aching , “Ring off.” Roys you just ought to have teen me in the kitchen the other.day. Mother was sick and our servant had left us and it fell upon me to lie “chief cook and bottle washer.” 1 tell you I would just make a “boss” w . but I’ll leave that for you to say. I wanted to cook a turkey. 1 got one and it was so large I could hardly get it in 'lie oven. After awhile I went to turn him over and a whole lot of “juice” splashed out and burnt my hand and I holler ed and Oh! my, I just had a “drefful” time, Istalena” you shall have “See saw” if you will send me your address. 1 am a great lover of music; play both on the piano and guitar. Doubiless some of the cousins skate, do you not! I do, and I just have lots of fun. Our crowd of girls and boys are going down to the pond to-night. Cow Boy come up and I’ll learn you liow to skate. Oh, dear, there is Aunt Judy coming a~id I hear some one say “chestnuts,” so bye-bye for this time. With “heaps” of love I remain. Mika dc. » Our OmlrMoiter*.'—Link Burnham Wood- stock, Ohio, C W.

There are probably but few newspaper re porters in this city that have not interviewed Henry Ward Beecher. The Plymouth pastor enjoys great popularity among the reporters, for he is accessable, genial,'and, as a rule, talk ative. He is always ready to engage in a harmless bit of chaff with the newspaper men, but be will not brook insolence. The last mentioned fact was recently impressed upon the alleged mi ad of a swaggering youngster who said that he represented a Brooklyn pa per. A rumor that Mr. Beecher was dead got started in some unaccountable manner and spread like wildlire. Reporters by the score hurried to Mr. Beecher’s house and were there conlionted by the famous preacher bale and hearty. After awhile along came a young man who said to Mr. Beecher, with an impudent grin, that he had been sent by the city editor of the Brooklyn to “find out whetht r Beecher was alive or dead.” “Well,” said the Plymouth pastor, “I sup pose you know who I am?” “Oh, yes,” answered the fellow pertly, “but I would like to have it directly from you that you are not dead.” “Ah,” murmured the stalwart pastor, as he laid a heavy hand on the funny young man’s coat collar. The next instant the young man was held up in the air and shaken as a dog would shake a sawdust doll. Mr. Beecher set him down on the sidewalk not any too gently and quietly remarked: “Now, you can go to your city editor and tell him that you have received actual proof that I am alive.”—New York Times.

Dear Cousins: Again, this glad new yeaf, I ”wuum come to uiu me u’.emoers ol our oIn: many happy retui ns. The old year is gone with all its joys and sorrows, but well, “Weep not for the past; tis a dream that has fled, It’s sunshine has vanished, ito garlands are dead.” But we will look forward, and hope for brighter skies and happier days, than ever the old year brought. We know that it will de pend very much upon ourselves, whether our paths shall lead along the sunny slopes where fountains murmur and flowers bloom, or through dark valley* where the wintry blasts howl around us, and all is withered by their frosty breath. Rut I did not commence to deliver a sermon or a lecture, so for fear I might be tempted to do so I wiill forbear. Thank you all, who have spoken kindly of me. I am sure I appreciate all your pleasant words, and can most sincerely return the com- pl ment. Rural Widow, here is my hand of welcome. I ain delighted to sec you with us. Yes f know you. My mother speaks of you often as one of her dearest friends. Grey Eyes, come often, jour presence rs- minds me of the day of “Old Lang Syne." Welcome, Jack Sticks. I know you, but wont give you away. Bonnie Sweet Bessie, if Aunt Judy turns Tourist over to you, 1 hope you can manage him better than you do that Monk-ey. Monk, will you never forget how to give the girls “taffy?” But “such is life.” Zephyr, where art thou? With best wishes and kindest regards to Aunt Judy, and all the numerous family of comiins, I am Ruby Ltsx. Dear Aunt Judy: Grey eyes has introduced me rather vaguely in his letter to the L. B., printed in the S. S. of Jan. 8. Now of course roommates know nothing of each other’s love affairs (?). Probably Grey Eyes, whose girl has just gone back on him (not for me, how ever), wishes you and the cousins to know that he was again fancy free, so he charges me —his roommate—with having stolen his best girl. I think he rather congratulates himself on the present state of affais for—I’ll get even with him now—I believe he is in love with one of your nieces; guess who. It will suffice to say that he is fond of small things in general, Klein particularly. As to the other charges, I'll see him personally. Well, well, here I have been writing as if I had already introduced myself and humbly asked permission to enter. May I, Aunt Judy, join your nice little band? I give as my txcuse for cotasking sooner for permission to enter, that I have been a reader of the S. S. for some time past and feel as if I knew all the cousins and you, too; so when I opened the door. I did not think to tell you who I was and ask you please to introduce me to the cousins, but just ran right up and began a friendly chat with you. I am surprised that you did not remind me of my thoughtlessness; but I suspect that Grey Eyes has spoken to you cuncerning me; has he not? Af er my departure won’t you please tell Bonnie Sweet Bessie I was almost tempted to answer in a tangible form her letter to Grey Eyes concerning a certain Xmas present (for he read it to me), but thought she might con sider me “cheeky.” Now you and the cousins may think I have a combative name; I have. But I assure you I have no such disposition. Will you introduce me as Bellcm When? Aunt JudyI am a little school boy nearly nine years old; am fond ol reading and writ ing, and am learning some pieces on the piano. I want some nice, bright little niece of yours to write to me. I will do my best to interest her, and I won’t send her a letter all blotted up either like I would to a boy. • I think girls are worthy of just as neat, nice letters as I can write, but these leap-frog boys don’t deserve any better letters from me than I do from them. I want a sure enough letter in an envelope through the mail, Aunt Judy, for my own self. Pine Wood. Bless your little time! You shill have “a sure enough letter.” Now, little girls, here is a chance for some of you to get a nice corres pondent. White. W J Feme. 1. PIOK4 2 8 to K B 3 3. B '«B4 4 P toQ 8 4 5.
