TALLULAH FALLS.
Rabun's Is'jvely City.
UNSURPASSED ATTRACTIONS.
The hotels, dwellings and business
houses of Tallulah are scattered a-
long an irregular sloping plateau, on
the brink of a yawningehasm through
which the river flows, leaping wildly
down over rocks and precipices form¬
ing a score or more of rapids,cascades
and great waterfalls. In all directions
are crags.'pinnacles, perpendicular
cliffs, steep hill sides and lofty moun¬
tains, combining a varied scenery of
picturesque beauty commingled with
wild and sublime grandeur. As a
tourist’s resort, this town presents
many attractions. Prominent a*>.
lnonu these isi’s
Li MATH.
The Whit e mountains of New Hamp-
shire, and the Catskills of New York
have an agreable climate a few weeks
in the hot summer months; but even
then the tempature often suddenly
descends, and the enjoyments of the
pleasure seekers are interrupted by
chilling winds or biting frost-*;
while at Tallulah there is a uniformly
equable teinpatuie, delightfully cool,
or if at times inclined to be hot, the
happy sojourners are fanned by cool¬
ing breezes passing through .the val¬
leys winding among these high hills.
The elevation of the railroad station
at Tallulah Falls above tide water is
162G feet; the average summer
pernture is cbout 71 deg. the winter
about 44 deg the mean annual for
the year about tit deg., a temperature
the best for comfort and the most
conducive to health. Added to this
happy temperature is the purity
of the atmosphere, entirely free from
malarial influences, no swamps,
marshes, the streams, creeks and
rivers running rapidly from the
mountaiu sides make a perfect sur-
face drainage. The climate, the tern-
pernturo, the salubrious atmosphere,
the pure water of these hills all com
l,i 7^ i kcThccon ‘ litions for ,u>akh
liere Unsurpassed anywhere else
all the world besides.
In this dry and invigorating cli
mate, it is claimed that consumption,
malaria, hay fever, asthma, and
tarrh are unknown.
I he Beauty and Grandeur of the
scenery here is another promine
attraction for tourists. An enthusi-
astic writei says:
“A Mountain s ream, rising ki.uh
up on the southern slope of the Blue
Ridge in northern ^Georgia, tumbles
noisily down the mountain side, and
gathering Brooks forec ami from a thousand trib-
utarv rills, flows calmly
on, a broad and noble river, between
trreen banks, past fertile valley wilderness, farms,
through miles of wooded
until, at last, sweeping out from the
shadow of the everlasting hills, it en-

of which towering in majestic grand-
eur far up among the clouds, stand
like grim, gaunt sentinels, silent and
no longer the peaceful river, but
Tallulah “The Terrible”—a moving
mountain of maddened water, irre-
sistible in force sublime in its wild
grandeur, ingry awful in its thunder as it
hurls its tide through the rock-
walled gorge against the unyielding
down, sides, over down mighty with hidden thundering boulders,

veiling their profundity in clouds of
snowy mist; on, still 'on, dashing,
leaping breaking into countless cas—
cades in its ceaseless struggle through
the depths of the fearful chasm, until,
£
feet below the rugged heights.
The river in its onward course first
pours its rushing waters over Indian
Arrow Rapids, then plunges down
the deep gorge in five successive
leaps, making a descent of 650 firt
the distance of half a mile . The
cataract is called L’Eau d’Or, a fall
46 feet; the waters then move
some distance forming

byterian clergyman who was drowned
here over 50 years ago. The next

fact after cataract, bounding and
foaming and dashing with an impet¬
uous velocity, and roaring with the
voice of thunder, impressed the na¬
tive Indians with awe,and they gave
to the river the name Tallulah, the
Terrible,
From the tops of the mountains in
the vicinity the view is grand beyond
desciption. This is especially so from
Hock mountain, from whose lofty
summit to the east and south, the eye
takes in a vast undulating plain of
forests and cultivated farms, extend¬
ing away till lost in the dim and dis¬
tant horizon. On the other side are
soen the high j>eaks of the Blue
Hidgc range sweeping far round to
the North east.
From Tallulah the tonrists can have
many drives over picturesque hills,
through winding vallies to points of
interest and attraction. Among
these is Toccoa city, and the beauti-
ful Toccoa Falls; Mt. Airy; Clarks-
ville; lovely Nachoochee; Clayton,
Rabun Gap, the valley of the l en-
nessee,and the new town ofDemorest;
almost every turn in the road, and
every opening vista from hill top pre
senting some news cenesof surpassing
loveliness and beauty,
hotkls.
There are here three first class ho¬
tels, which afford ample accommoda¬
tions for 800 visitors, and another
elegant brick structure of 300 rooms
is contemplated.
The Grand View was the first one
erected here, by W. D. Young 17
years ago. He is still the proprietor,
and under his management this hotel
is immensely popular.
The Cliff House, J. C- S. Timber-
lake, manager, is located in a natural
park of 40 acres possessing many at¬
tractions; with its beautiful cottages
it will accommodate 300 guests.
The Robinson /7ouso, T. A. Robin-
SO n , proprietor, is also pleasantly lo-
cated, the accommodations first class,

visitors.
Amusements of many kinds are
provided. W. D. Young, in comiec-

Howell C. Blalock, of Rabun Co.
visited town a few days ago. He is
one of the first class farmers on the
Tallulah river, where the soil produ -
ces the most nutricious grasses, the
most luscious apples and grapes, and
where cattle and horses can be made
to reach their highest perfection rival¬
ing those of the famous Kentucky
blue grass country.
Mr. G. Stonecyphsr w ~ traveling
a few days ago in Fran 'in co, in
company with the Rev. Geo. Carroll.
They passed t a field of corn containing
about 3 acres, which Mr. S. consider¬
ed an unusually large and splendid
crop. Mr. C. said he had half an acre
that contained as much corn as the
whole three acres. He also said:—
“I can stand on one foot in my field
and touch 52 ears of corn.” Who can
beat Mr. Carroll? His farm is about
o miles from Carnesvilie.
Mr. J. A. Creasy walks with his

His farm embraces 1200 acres beau
tifully situated in the Tugalo Valley.
He has this year 140 in cotton, 100 in
corn, besides other grain and root
crops. He has 7 tenants,all colored,
who are faithful and industrious, and
he gets along with them pleasantly
and peaceably. As a general rule, if
the colored people are treated kindly
and properly there will be no troub¬
le. Mr. Bruce is a remarkably suc¬
cessful farmer and planter.
A certain young lady in this county
who adheres to the scriptural injunc¬
tion that says we must live by the
sweat of the brow, decided to be a
farmer, and selec;ed the pinder as the
most prolific crop. The crop was
planted and everything moved along
nicely until the grass entered the field
The enterprising farmeress armed
with a hoe, made a niil on the grass,
and in order to completely destroy it,
first pulled up the goober vines and
laid them aside until she dug up the
grass; then reset them and retired
from the field well satisfied with her
success as a farmer. But {imagine her
surprise a few days later when she
went out to view her work and found
her goober vines all dead. She has
given up farming and says she would
not give a cent whether farmers use
cotton or jute bagging.
This week daily religious services
have been held in the Presbyterian
church; prayermeetings in the after-
noon Rev, and preachir.g at night ;the Pas-
tor, L. A. Simpson, assisted by
the Rev. N. Keff. Smith, recently- of
Atlanta, who has preached every
night. The meeting began Saturday
evening, the 14th. The Rev. Mr.
Smith entertained a large ‘congrega¬
tion with sacred songs and hymns for
over an hour. His singing is very
fine; his voice is well cultivated and
has wonderful compass, extending
from and deep bass up to the highest ten¬
or soprano tones. He sings with
varied expression,strong feelings, and
often deep pathos; his rendering of
many familiar songs,is new and orig¬
inal. Ho excels as a sole singer of sa¬
cred hymns,and as a leader of congre¬
gational singing he has few equals.He
gospel is an eloquent preacher and proclaims
truths with great earnestness.
During the week congregations have
been large; there have been so n ‘
conversions and doubtless great good
has been accomplished.

ment Cutting school is] open only

VI CTO R yTTuT TOCCOA.
The last ball game between the
Lavonia and Toccoa clubs was play-
ed on the grounds in this city, result¬
ing in a triumphant victory for Toc¬
coa; the figures standing 22 to *2.
The score was as follows:
TOCCOA CLUB.
Ramsay, rf, 3 rounds, 4 outs; Glen,
c. 5 rounds, 1 out; McGee, 2nd b. 1
round, 4 outs; Jones, 1st b. 2 rounds,
2 outs; McAllister,1 f.2 rounds 2 outs;
Kilgo, c f. 1 round 5 outs; Mosely,
p. 4 rounds 3 outs; Head, 3d b. 2
rounds 4 outs; Wilhelm s s. 2 rounds
3 outs.
The following composed the Lavo¬
nia club: Cleveland, Young, Sawatt,
Ballentine, Allison, Barker, Reeder,
Poole and Wright. The only 2 rounds
they made were by Ballentine and
Reeder.
Srill they were a splenJid lot of
young men, and only need more
practice t.o be able to cope with the
superior playing of the Toccoa nine.
The latter entertained the Lavonia
club right royally with a bountiful
dinner at the hotels. The game was
honorably played on both sides; the
utmost good humor prevailed, and
amidst the wilcLcheers the two nines
parted the best of friends; of course
Toccoa is proud of her boys.

To the Tax Payers of Haber¬
sham County: I wish to state a few
facts-concerning the county finance.
It is said that I have wasted^ the co.
funds, and that I paid to J. W.West
muuey on county orders that were 4
years old, all of which is false and
without foundation. My records and
the Ordinary’s will show what 1 say
is true. The record will show the
sessment . >as , too small to . raise .
amount necessary to keep the county
out of debt. By request of W. D.
Hill, I was piesent when the calcu¬
lation was made last year for the as¬
sessment, and he knew he was mak¬
ing it too low. I will here give fig¬
ures so any man that can count may
know the assessment was too small.
The taxable property of the count)’
last year was *1,287,041). £ 10th of 1
per cent, was assessed for jury pay,
which would raise *048.50, not
enough to pay the jury of last March
term of court. Count and see. The
whole assessment was 3V-10 of 1 per
cent, which would raise *4,504.04
ake the insolvency, receiv ©v’s and
collector’s commission out of *4,504,
and you will see it will not hold out
to run the business of the county,
since our courts are so long, &c. I
do not know who started the report
tliht I wasted tlm money, but one
thing I do know, he did not know
what he he was talking about, or if
he did know, be lied. li Now con¬
found you, peck out if you can.”

The good people arc being aroused
to the work of building'them a lasting
monument to education. Cabins are
being put-up, saw-mills brought to
expedite the work, and houses all
round in the vicinity, being fixed for
renting out. The citizens are open¬
ing their doors for boarders, and ex¬
pending time and money for the pro¬
motion of the general good. The
price of board and tuition is a mere
song, and everything is being done
to make glad ttie visitor, and profita¬
ble the visit. The undertaking and
the work now being done, is enough
to inspire the best energies of the
grand old county of Habersham, and
to solicit the sympathies and co-op¬
eration of all North Georgians. The
hospitality and civility of the com¬

Who knows but a giant intellect is
rusting to‘notliing to nothing be¬
cause of your want of industry in
this line?What spirits of philanthropy
you are smothering out;what dcvincs
you arc crippling up; what moralists
and philosphers arc shade l to death,
by the castles of ignorance; what as-
tr mers and tcacheis are tor ever hid
in the night of non opportunities;
what farmci’3 and mechanics are lo-t
in the debris of negligence. High
Schools are like beacon ligh **, 9hips
of state and commerce a e not safe
without them,ships of morals and re¬
ligion will run on the breakers with¬
out them. Bat for them the social
and civil liberties ol a people will
wander off into the whirlpools of
tyrany ; but for knowledge and i s
- pporterf the civilized world would
drift off into barbarism. Hence there
are but few things of more moment
than our schools : then let us so ihiuk
and govern ourselves accordingly.
