toed, we had the plenum* of acobm-
(tallying Su excursion tendered the
City Council of Athene, by Col. Fore-
noro, to Telluleh Falls. Theft ret train
wan to ran to Tumerville on that day,
and the company wished the authori
ties of Athens to Inspect the work al
ready done, and then advise with
them us to the desirability of either
hurrying through the abort link yet
uuftiiislied, or whether it would not
l>e best to take time and do the work
thoroughly. Besides the members) of
our present Council we had with us
several of the old board and invited
guests—numbering in all eighteen
(tersons.
Our parly wits taken in charge of
by Superintendent Bernard, "who ac
companied us on the tour. This road
is living put in splendid •order, and
non runs us smooth ns glass. Con
ductor Lute Johnson was in charge
of the train, and being an old stager
lie knows Just bow to make Ills'pas
sengers feel easy and at home. We
made only a short stop at Lula, Wit
passed on, the North-Kistern having
a right of way mi the main line. Ha-
liu n (iu(> June lion hasn't grown any
since we were there last. We hear
Dial quite a city has been surveyed oft
lien*, the lots extending for two miles
back into the woods, hut they have
not as yet lieen auctioned off.
At Clarkesville a pretty little de-
(sit has been built. We learn, how
ever, that tlie town is not improving
as fast as some expected, fnuu tlie fact
that a great part of the land upon
which it has been built is In litigation
and hence people do not wish to im
prove until this matter has been settled
The lots near the de(iot are also effected
by tills lawsuit, except a very few,
which are held at from $100 to $200
each. From Clurkesville you enter
the new road, our’s being the tint
train that ever passed over 1L Even
tlie cross-ties had not been packed,
and everything looked new autl un
developed. This road, although it
runs through a mountainous country,
does not devintc over 12 percent, from
an air-line. Capt. Turner is one ofthe
best engineers on the continent, and
lie fairly surpassed himself in locating
this route. Col. Foreacre saya a bet
ter road was never located or. grafted
It (lasses through a fresh and vlrglr
country, abounding in the finest tim
her with only an occasional cabin lu
view. Our train was quite a curiosity
to tbe natives, who Hooked to the road
side In great numbers to “seethe cars
which were passing,with open months
and eyes. One rustic tried to measure
speed with the Iron horse, but
soon distanced. Crops are behind In
tlie mountains and on the road looked
very unpromising, but we are told
that they are better in the swamps.
From Clarkesville the railroad runs
on top a mountain spur, and gives a
comparatively level route for a greater
part of tlie distance, spanning an occa
sional tall ravine or dashing through
doep and yawning chasms.
Allendale is the first station between
Clarkesville and tbe falls, and has
been named in honor of the celebrated
farm near by. There is nothing now
to show that it is a town, although it
is destined to he one of tlie best trad-
ug points on tbe line, from Its splen
did location.
The road now terminates at Turner-
vllle, named in honor of Capt. J. ,C-
Turner, about three miles from Tallu
lah and near the summer home of Mr.
S. H. Cox, of Oglethorpe. Tumerville
now boasts a handsome new hotel of
thirty odd rooms, a store and several
buildings in course of construction.
In July the lots in these new towns
will be auctioned dll, half of them be
longing to the railroad. Due notice
ofthe sale will he given in this paper.
At Tumerville we found a number
of liacks.also several saddle horses and
mules for those who wanted'to exam-
i ne the new road-bed. We mounted a
gigantic species of the long-eared
tribe, that wo christened "Jumbo.'’
We had over three miles to travel,
sometimes using the road-bed and
at oi hoes the woods, "hen driven off*
by some unfinished ei .bankment. To
appreciate this gigantic task one must
inspect it carefully. A greater part
of the distance from Tumerville* to
the falls is blasted through solid rook,
some of it the hardest of flint. We
were shown one cut where twenty
kegs of powder were touched off at a
single blast aud the discharge almost
shook the foundation of old Yonah.
You travel from cut to
inent and from erabankt&ent
to trestle. These latter structures
were designed by Capt. Turner , and
are most sunstantlal and beautiful
architectural works. We passed one
that is ninety feet ta>l and contains
800,000 feet of timber. Mrs. Powers, a
Macon ludy, the accomplished wife of
one of tlie contractors, walked over
this trestle upon a beam before a cross
tie had been laid. She Is certainly ft
brave little lady. Accidents are quite
common on this road. While work
ingon this trestle one of the laborers
slipped and fell but before touchfng
the ground he managed to grasp a
hoisting rope and escaped a frightful
death at the sacrifice of all the flesh
on his hands. A negro fell from 1 a
fifty-foot trestle, striking feirly on his
head without serious injury.
A mo'mtain shower caught us a
couple of miles this side of the fells
and our party sought refuge in the
temporary house of one of the sec
tion bosses, whose little huts line
the track. Judge our surprise to And
one of the most refined and accom
plished ladles it has ever been our
good fortune to meet, who had follow
ed her husband Into'this IWHdehitoe
and was living in a w re tolled hut, the
rain dripping tbrough.the roof upon
the carpet and handsiyno furniture
that filled tlie solitary room'. But
yofl here find evidences of refinement
and culture that surround tlie true
lady whereever she may J hi’ oast.
These showers In the mountains come
up very unexpectedly, but soon pass
off; and ao we found tie one that had
driven us into our temporary retreat.
There are 240 hands now employed on
this extension, who receive $1.25 per
day. We do not think there is quite
a mile of grading to do before the road
is completed, but this is very rough
and expensive work, the character o!
which we wlU speak of further on.

GYMNASlUir.
At the request of the students, the
board would recommend the erection,
when practicable, of a well equipped
and commodious gymnasium for their
use. A structure of this kind would
greatly promote the health of the
young men and their muscular devel
opment. It would be especially bene
ficial in inclement weather when, de
prived of outdoor exercise. Physical
training and due attention to hygienic
rales should form an important place
in the curriculum of a college educa
tion.
THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
Accompanied by Professor White
and Dr. W. L. Mitchell, the board
made a critical examination of the
agricultural farm which is under the
direction of Professor W. M. Browne.
The premises and crops were in ad
mirable order, and the cbltlvation
deep and thorough. The form em
braces seventy, acres, forty of which
are under a high state of cultivation.
The crops include five acres of wheat,
10 acres of oats, 15 acres of cotton, 8
acres of corn and 2 acres qf sweet po
tatoes. The oats measured out 48
bushels per acre and the wheat about
12 bushels.
Numerous experiments for the so
lution of the mooted question whence
the source of the nitrogen for corn and
cotton is derived are gojng on, and
also experiments with the various
seeds of field crops, such as corn, cot
ton, wheat, oats, potatoes, etc. These
cover depth In sowing, distance be
tween the rows, and distance between
the plants in the drill.
Again, there are soil tests of all of
the most popular fertilizer?, knd home
made manures, ao arranged that each
is kept separate and distinct, with its
individual record. Tbeseiara contras-
ted with alternate spaces where the
natural soil has received no assistance.
It is impossible to overestimate the
practical value of these experiments
to the whole farming community.
The class in agriculture irequently
attend the professor to the farm and
witness the actual application of the
theories laid down in the lecture
room.
Before concluding this notice of the
"Experimental Farm,” the-board of
visitors would earnestly request, the
trustees to ask for an application from
tbe general assembly for the purpose
of providing the necessary implements
and machinery which are indispensa
ble to the complete and successful op.
eratlon of the farm. These embrace
1. A 4-horse steam engine.
* 2t A 45-saw gin.
8. A thresher and gin.
4» A reaper.
5. Platform scales.
The cost of all these articles would
aniount to but, a trivial sum, and a
model farm should certainly Include
every one of them. How else can the
modus operand! of agriculture and
the harvesting and preparation ofthe
several crops for market be properly
explained to the student? , The very
saving of grain, forage, etb., would
pay a handsome interest oh the In
vestment. The experimental form*
has been entirely Self-sustaining for
several years. - ■ •- •

Robbere ror ble Bold Crime.
A dispatch from Kansas City, Missou
ri, says: “ The woman who was ar
rested with the Brookfield bank robbers
is a comely blonde petite in form, and
as cool as any of her companions. She
claims to be the wife of Frank Mason,
one of the three Mason brothers, who
appears to be the leader of the band.
She says that she and her husband came
from Ellsworth, Vigo county, Indiana, a
little over a month ago. She clings to
Mason and insists upon being by his
side to share all of ii* perils. She lias
surrendered all of the money that re
mained unrecovered. Where the horses
were concealed the Sheriff’s posse
found $450 in silver. The rest
of the money, it is under
stood, was buried abont eight miles
froorn Brookfield. Frank Mason says
that his only incentive for committing
the robbery was to relieve his aged fath
er, who is living in California upon a
farm so heavily mortgaged that ho can
not save it. Mason says that every let
ter he has received from his father lias
been full of the story of misfortunes, and
told how he was being slowly dragged to
the grave. With the present care weigh
ing upon him, Mason says that lie was
convinced., that his father could not live
ten years. "I determined to relieve
him,” adds Mason, “no matter how des
perate a game I played for the purpose,
so long as I did not take life. I thought
that by robbing the bank I could secure
enough money to pay my father’s in
debtedness, and he would notsupects
but that I loaned it outof my earnings.”
The robbers are locked up at Linneus.”
