1 THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, QA, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1887. THE GREAT SOUTH. Its Resources, News, Indus tries, Culture, Scenery, and General Prog- ress. THE GARDEN OF THE WORLD. What is Thought of Alabama. Our'wealth in natural resource*, iron, coal, timber, marble, slate, granite, water-ways and water-powers, and in gold and copper is begin ning to be recognized by our own poople and appreciated by capitalists North and abroad. What is said below about Alabama, applies with almost equal force to adjoining and other Southern States. Truly exclaims the Phila delphia Times: "Tb< re is no State on the contiuent, not even California, where such vast wealth can be so easily and profitably de veloped as in Alabama. There will be unwise inflatore of speculative bubbles, but the wealth is there, it is easy of access; it has God-made highways to markets, and the next decade should double the population of Alabama and her fields should nearly feed her people.” Pronounced to be a Diamond. A lady living near Tallapoosa, Georgia, is reported to have picked up a peculiar looking stone, which it is said experienced lapidaries pronounce to he a diamond, and worth $40,- 000. There is said to be no little excitement around Tallapoosa. While diamonds nre known to have been found in Georgia, and flexible sand-stone, the matrix of the diamond, is found in many parts of Georgia—the Air-Line railway cuts a vein this side of Gainesville—we think the above shoald be received with many grains of allow ance.

Delicate Children, Nursing Mothers, Overworked Men, and for all diseases where the tissues are wasting a gray from the inability to digest ordinary food, or from over work of the brain or body, all such should take Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with llypophosphites. “I used the Emulsion on a lady who was delicate, and threatened with B: ouchitis. It put her in such good health and flesh, that I must say it is the best Emulsion I ever used.’’—L. P. Waddell, M. D., Hugh’s Mills, S. C. Lear Cousins: I aui seated under a large water oak, on the bank of the loveliest stream in Georgia, writing to you. I am not thinking of this letter alone, but am taking i n a jj surroundings. If I wander, excuse me. The crystal stream, the budding trees, the dear little violets peeping up all around me, tie chirping bird* over me, and lastly, the big wheel which has been turning round for lot these many years, are eHough to inspire al most anybody, but I never could be flowery or interesting. I have just returned home from a six weeks visit. It is needless to say I enjoyed it. I visited in a little town where dwells our Ruby Lynn; she is as jolly as can be. 1 shall never forget a ride of thirty miles that we enjoyed together on a freight train. 1 was never quite so badly jolted, 1 don’t think. I will not need any more exercise for a month—’twas equal to a trotting horse. My birthday lias just passed, and I did get some nice presents. I explained to the people that this would be niy last birthday, (I am not in bad health at all, but you know I have reached a certain age.”) Clare, you have won my heart by thus openly confessing your “peculiar style” of beauty. Now, if any of the other cousins are likewise blessed, let them say I. If we could only get a few more on our list, we could lead everyone around “by their noses,” and we would have Aunt Judy’ following after us to see what we were doing; at least they would not speak slightly of us. 1 have seen Bellura Wren's name mentioned quite often ill certain weekly letters, he is a good (?) boy with no mischief about him at all. Wa may expect another soul stirring, heart rending, loving letter from Grey Eyes real soon, for I hear he is enjoying another “Xmas” box, and he writes when he is feeling badly. I am in the midst of “real estate,” and all I can hear is “boom” and “option”—only wish I had a few thousand to iuv st. Any one wish ing properly, and will let me know, I will open a real estate office. I have two of the sweetest and most intelli gent wh'te mice—they are named after two of the L. B’s. so that accounts for and they won’t bite girls at all! Girls I am doing some pretty embroidery now, and I have decorated a little jug with pink and gilt powder tied with pink ribbons. Wouldn’t that be a nice present for some of the young men of the pres ent day and time filled with the “best quality’” Of course it wouldL’t be suitable for any we we know; no indeed) I think the Editor of the Suknt South is just cooping us up in too small a space—just one column—I know we ought to have as much room as the "Household” if we are not quite as big aid solemn. We are growing fast, in fact we are nearly all grown. It makes me right sorry for a poor little child to come among ns, they seem out of place. I think the Suknt South ought to have a chil dren’s department. “R’a.” piece in the last Suhht South was real good, especially the “Lost” part. Evening is drawing nigh, the shadows are falling around me. So I will bid Aunt Judy and all a loving adieu, Rki> Huii. Notich.—Exchanges and all letters pertaining to Chess should be addressed J. B.

Bernie Rheirns, when you speak of music and wishing to be a musician, 1 have a kindred feeling for you. Are you advanced very far, and have you any acquaintance with the great masters? Some may think it too girlish for a boy to play—that it is the exclusive privilege of the gentlersex; but as a pastime and recreation nothing could give him greater satisfaction. The finer sensibilities of his nature are aroused by his coming iu contact with this divine art.

Paris, Texas. Edwin a Dhu. Dear Aunt Judy: Or have I a right to call you aunt? I think so; as I am an admirer of the dear Sunny South, and have just finished reading the boys and girls letters in this weeks paper. And as I have long had a desire to be numbered among the many cousins, who write for the B. and G. column, I hasten to ask „our permission. Who am I? Not one of your southern girls, who talk of peach blooms and apple blossoms here in the mouth of March. You had better say a g rl from the snow-drifts, at least mother earth in this portion of the state is today wrapped in a sheet of snow, as if it was mid-winter. Last week had the ap pearance of spring but alas, beautiful spring is not with us yet. Best assured we northern people know how to appreciate it when it does come. Now, cousins don’t laugh; remember I am a new comer and am rather timid, espec ially when so many eyes are watching me. I am of the same opinion as Starling. I do not think the cousins should change their noin's; in that way we lose them butirely and do not sppreciate their letters half so much. Who is Disappointment anyway? I indeed sympa thize with him very much in his “bitter expe rience,’' but be of good cheer, you are not an old bachelor at 22; “so why weep tears of sor row, or why let hope lose its place?” Bashful Billy you are too cute for anything, and that cake receipt ohl it is “immense.” I am only too sorry I was not in time to help eat it. Oh horrors I must fly. I see Aunt Judy coming with a basket on her arm ready to take me in out of the cold, provided I don’t “stop short,” so dear cousins if a ly of you wish to correspond with me Aunt Judy will give you my address. Dawk Eyes. Lexing.on, Mo. The American “Git.” [English Girl in London Truth. J What a delightfully useful expression is the American “Git.” It comes almost as handy as the German “So,” which cau be used in such a variety of ways that it emulates those patent medicines which are advertised to cure everything from a broken leg to a chilblain. I sometimes long to be able to say “Git,” but I never yet dared. For instance, when a man pays a clumsy compliment, It would be deli cious to disconcert him with a scornful “Git!” or, when he talks some rubbish about some thing “thrilling him,” how glorious it would be to let him look in the mirror of a contempt uous little “Oh, git,” and see what an uttei goose he is I really think I must learn to say “Git.” It would be such an all-powerful little weapon. Illiteracy in Vermont. [From the Baltimore Sun.] Things are out of joint when the teacher is in a worse position than his pupil. Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, has proposed through his bill to educate the South, bit it appears that there are Southern States where a larger proportion of the children attend school than in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. Only 72 per cent, of the school population of Vermont attended school last year, as against 73 per cent in West Virginia and 79 per cent, in Texas. The daily average attendance in Vermont was from to 65 per cent., as against G9 per cent in South Carolina and 73 in Florida. If the usual reasoning In regard to illiteracy is worth anything, Ver mont is relapsing, and the down easters gen erally have a dark prospect btfore them.
