State Senator, S. E, Fields is dead. He was killed at his home yesterday morning about Sun-rise, by an 18 year old boy that he had raised from about2 or 3 years old. About 12 to IS buck-shot being discharged from a shot gun by the boy, took effect in solid bulk, directly through Mr. Field’s throat, killing him instantly; leaving our Senatorial district with¬ out a representative. His will be interred in the cemetery at. Spring place this evening. A considerable wind and rain storm passed through this section Monday; blowing down some and doing some damage to While the Spencer Brothers were preparing to remove their saw mill, near this place yesterday, the large smoke stack fell on Mr. Philip Buck^ and it was thought for some time he would not recover, but he at last re- vived, and it is to be hoped he will b0on be all right.

No. people seldom die here, not enough have died to start a respect a- ble grave yard ; the remains of the few who have gone were taken and buried at the old homes where they came from.” »• You must have a healthy conn- try here¬ “Yes, we have very little sickness; I have never known a ease of fever of any kind, and 1 have been here tliirteeen years.” The above conversation occurred between the writer and one of the merchants of the little town whose name heads this article. This town glories in two names; the Railroad company call it Long- view, whileUneleSam christens it Alto; on all railroad tickets is the former name,but the Post Office is Alto. This is unfortunate as goods shipped to Longview, some times go to a town of the same name in another part of the state. Alto is situated on that great through line railway the Richmond and Danville. 74 miles from Atlanta and 19 from Toccoa. It is partly in Banks county and partly in Haber¬ sham; the line, of the counties passes through the town leaving the Post Office and station in Banks. It is situated on the celebrated •'Piedmont Escarpment,” that ex¬ tends from the Appalachain chain of mountains through middle Georgia, gradually disappearing in the south, a dividing ridge,—the waters on one side, running vapidly away to the o- cean, on the other, to the gulf. The dwellers on this ridge are considera¬ bly elevated above the surrounding country on either side. From an eminence in this village a magnificent landscape lays spread out on all sides. r l o the east and south one sees a vast undulating plain of forest and cultivated farms, including a large portion of Banks County, gradually lost in the low and distant horrison. To the west and north is a long sweep of the Blue Ridge moun¬ tains, Yonah looming up in hold out¬ line a little more than half a score of FARM LANDS, TIk* land in this region possesses a high degree of fertility, well adapted to grasses grain and fruit. The prin¬ cipal crops are cotton, corn, wheat and vegetables. Along the creek and river bottoms the soil is exceedingly fertile, and with proper cultivation produces very large crops. A few miles away in Banks county there are farms valued as high as $100 an acre. Very little attention thus far has been paid to STOCK RAISING though this neighborhood is well a- dapted to this industry and it can be made very profitable. Below the ridge, the country is well watered; springs of pure cold water bubble up from the ground, creeks and rivulets are so numerous that almost every farm is supplied with abundance of the best water, and grasses for pas** tures and hay will grow in the great¬ est luxurience. The soil and climate of this ridge are especially adapted to FRUIT of almost all varieties, which grow 7 here in the greatest perfection, I mention the “climate of the ridge,” from the fact that peaches never fail on the hills, while in the lower lands and Tallies they frequently 7 do. This is donbtles owing to the climatic in¬ fluences that affect the lowlands whieh do not higher elevations. Not only peaches, but apples, pears, ber- lies, and all small fruits will bring most bountiful returns to those who to engage in this delightful and profitable occupation. This Js thc borne of the grape; vineyards will pay from $100 to S400 ail acre at three years old and upward, Prominent among the farmers here 1S W. C. Shore, one of theold citizens, and father of those three young men who are developing such tine business qualities,—H. T. Shore w'ho is a suc- cess fill farmer, and also lumberman owning a saw mill, and turning out a large amount of lumber and shingles, which he ships to various parts of the TOCCOA, e xA. SATURDAY, JUNE 1889 state; \* . A. Shore, merchant a»J R- J- Shore, a highly es'eemed citizen ot Cornelia, I he old gentle- man may well be proud of these three .sons. 1). S. Oliver, though a native of South Carolina, came to Clarksville with his parents when a little boy in 1 1. A part of his life has been spent in stores but at present he is farming near this city, lie is also agent for lands here and persons do- siring information,or to purchase will do well to consult him. G. W. Grant has a fine farm, which he is bringing to a high state of culti¬ vation improving it every year. He raises fine crops and illustrates what good fanning accomplishes. He has been a United States marshall 4 years, discharging the difficult duties of that office with such fidelity and good judgement as to win the confidence of the government officials, and the re¬ spect and esteem of all good citizens; T. J. Grant is the oldest citizen be ; ing 78 years old. He was born near here and has always lived within five miles of this place ; he lias traveled but little, never having been as far as Atlanta. By industry and careful management he has accumulated a fortune. He owns a large amount of land here, some of which he offers for sale at low lion. J, B. Grant is also a native of Habersham county where for many years he fill ed honorably and faith- liighly responsible positions. He was a brave soldier in the army, and in one of the battles in Virginia, he received a severe and painful wound. Since the war he was twice elected tax collector, twice tax receiver, and three times as representa¬ tive in the Legislature indicating the confidence reposed in him by his fel¬ low' citizens; and he discharged the responsible duties of the various offices he has held honestly and faithfully. Henry Cook and B. J. Cook also are prominent among the farmers here, and C.D. Bill wilier, who is cultiva¬ ting a vineyard, and has a tannery where he turns out excellent leather. R. M. Shore has a farm of about 200 acres well watered with springs and creeks, and like many other farms in this neighborhood will make an excellent stock farm. While the sur¬ face of this farm is rich and fertile, there is buried beneath the surface un¬ told wealth of IRON AND GOLD and posisbly other minerals, particu¬ larly manganese and graphite. Mr. Shore has made several excavations and found four parellel gold veins. An expert who examined the ore say’s; “this ore is not only 7 good but very fine and by digging deeper it will be found very rich.” These veins ex¬ tend a long distance, probably the same as those recently discovered ir. Hall county, and give evidence of be¬ ing very valuable. The outcroppings of iron indicate large beds of this important miner¬ al; the most valuable specimens are brown hematite which the above ex¬ pert estimates will assay 85 to 88 per cent. This vein is very large and is evidently the extension of the one at Demorest, eight miles away. The richness and extent of these valuable- beds of iron and gold should attract the attention of capitalists. THE BUSINESS of this town seems to have been started by Messrs, Rice and Mitchell of Atlanta erecting a sawmill here. Among the first to engage in busi¬ ness here was Z. F, GIBSON who came here in 1874, bought a lot and cut down the first tree that was cut in the place. On this lot he erec - ted a store and engaged in the mer¬ cantile business which he followed for some years; he previously having experience as clerk at Griffin, Atlan¬ ta, and Mt. Airy. At the present time he is railroad agent, Express agent and Post Master, and he handles fer- tilizers. He ,s . a most gemal -it pleasant , g enl ^ einan - CHARLES SWEET. This gentleman is a native of Flor¬ ida; he came hero in 1876 and was employed in the sawmill by Rice & Mitchell. About six years ago he engaged in mercantile business, car- rying general merchandise,embracing almost every thing needed in a fami¬ ly store. His entire business inclu¬ ding fertilizers amount to about %10,- 000 a year. His honest, square have secured iii-n the confi- deuce cf the people and he is a high- ly esteemed citizen, shoiie mentioned elsewhere,is the otlier mcr- chant of Alto, lie carries drv goods, groceries, and the numerous articles included in that indefiniteterm,gen- eral merchandise. lie is another of those rising young men who are fast taking rank among the most progress* i\-e and substantial citizens of our State. Close by the town there is a large bank of flinty gravel that makes ex¬ cellent ballast for road beds. The R. & D, railroad company use this for ballasting their roads, and employ 30 to 40 hands digging it out and load¬ ing on to cars. The pay roll is about $1,000 a month for six or eight months each year. Alto possesses a delightful and healthy climate; it is situated in the midst of attractive and beautiful scenery; it is located on a great trunk line railroad; it is surrounded by ex¬ cellent farming lands which can be had at low prices, making it a most desirable place for persons seeking investments anil desiring permanent homes; The attention of capitalists is invited to this place for a hotel.and cottages for summer tourists, also to the great‘mineral wealth that lies here awaiting development. iUjiuy i'cisons Arc broke;) down from overwork or household cures lirown’s Iron 15.itt.ers rebuilds the system, aids digestion, removes ex¬ cess of bile, and cures malaria.

Those who took part in this exhibition did extremely well,and the entertainment was high¬ ly appreciated and enjoyed by the au¬ dience. Prof. Fessenden an 1 his able assist¬ ant, Abss Ellen M.

Wednesday of last week was a day of very strong South-east wind, and a good rain Thursday, until wo had a very good season. Mr. Sam Brown, of Murray county, bought the growing crop of one of his tenants on his farm and dismissed him last week. It. is said the man had been practicing the sleight-of- hand business,which had created con¬ fusion in that neighborhood. W. M. Morgan, of Holly Creek, lost a fine mare and colt last week, caused by some disease in the head, which, it is said, killed in a very short time after they were taken; the mare dropped dead very soon, and the colt died in two hours after it was discovered it was sick.
