VOL. XVI. 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- Niagra—the brawn and serried hights 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, sullen, roar 'over the awful successive steeps 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 Poole; taking the name from a byterian clergyman who was drowned here over 50 years ago. The next a plunge of 82 feet the falls the appropriate name, Tern pest a,- the w aters dashing against rocks throwing up mists and spray,forming mam ed rainbows w hen the sun shines. next plunge is II urrieane Falls, a scent of 9Lfeet, below which is er pool; then the waters pour over Oceana Falls to the depth of 46 feet anJ finally Bndal Vail whore the scent is 2S feet. ihc plunging ol* ihe waters, down AND PIEDMONT INDUSTR1AI *=4 JOURNAL. 1 TOCCOA, GA. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1889 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, : md is very popular with tourists and visitors. Amusements of many kinds are provided. W. D. Young, in comiec- tion with his hotel has a swimming pool 20 by 40 feet, and 5 feet deep. There are tennis courts, ten pin al- leyg| billiards, pool rooms, a library, livery sla bles, fine fishing and hnnt- ing grounds, parks, observatories, we |j worked paths, and sublime views from peaks , cliffa an(l ] 0 f t y moun¬ tains.

Mr. James Barrett who yvas men¬ tioned in the News two weeks ago as having lost his eye sight, died at his home near Liberty Hill church last Friday night. He yvas a substantial citizen and beloved by all who knew him. He was buried at Liberty Hill on Saturday by the Alliance. Frank Mulkeyand his bri Je have moved onto his farm where they will spend the honeymoon in making meadows, green pastures, fields of waving grain,planting vineyards, and as the years roll by they will grow happier beneath their own vines, fig- trees, apples, peaches and pears. There yvas a very large gathering to witness the burial of John Collins at Zebulon church last Saturday. The Alliance took charge of the re¬ mains and superintended the burial. Funeral services by Revs, Kytie and Edmonds. 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 new foot and leg almost as well as if was natural flesh auC bones. A few days ago he played bail with the boys As 3d baseman he astonished every¬ body by his activity and agility; bat¬ ting he made two runs. Not only his playmates, but all our citizens joice ,t seeing turn on -both feet” gain so well and so happy. He is a most excellent young gentleman, possesses an aimable, genial disposi¬ tion, and is a universal favorite. Mr. Sloan Bruce, the owner of the Cliff Hill farm, brought to this city tbe first bale of cotton this season, on Friday, Sept. 13. He sold it to W. «■ *« 10J; it weighed 520the. 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.

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. • Sick headach and a sensation of oppressiou and dullness in the head, are very commonly producod by in¬ digestion: morbid despondency, irri¬ tability and over sensitiveness of tbe nerves may, in a majority os cases, be traced to tbe same cause. Dr. J. H, J/oLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm aod Pillets wil1 t>olli,ivcl V cure ' - 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.” J.

In early ev \ the cooling shades began reaching out from the nodding peaks, and later on, they cross hands with the shadows of the lower knobs and lovingly spread their cooling curtains over the scenes below. But there is Jsomc- thing more variegated than this, more beautiful, more sublime; and that is, the polishing machinery to brighten up the minds of our maun*- tain boys. There lie hidden in the coverlet] of non devclopeoaent all over our country,the grandest powers perhaps the sur. ever shone upon. 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. Touiusx.
