We have seen St. Peters’ church and

dreamed of them, but not until we had
seen them could any idea be formed of
their value.
The Vatican has 32 courts and 11,000
rooms, some of which the Pope himself
has never seen. Did we see them all ?
Of course not, but we saw what lovers
of art would give their little fingers to
see, Raphael’s finest. “The Transfigu

menicin’s “St. Jerome’s Last Commun
ion.” They are in a room to themselves,
and, are feasts of delight to all lovers of
the beautiful and grand.
This afternoon we visited the sculp
ture gallery of the Vatican, where we
saw the original Leocoon, Apollo, Be-
loidere, Venno and Icous and scores of
others not so celebrated, but equally
wonderful to us. Mark Twain was an
idiot not to grow enthusiastic over what
he saw abroad. Laugh at his country
men as he will, a man or woman is an
unfeeling brute who can go through
Italy and keep passive. Gush I detest,
but a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm
over whatever is great and beautiful in
Nature and in art is the evidence of a
nature that God has given only to man.
We never suppress enthusiasm. To
morrow we leave for Naples.

**
July 9th.—We are beautifully located
in Naples. One hotel is situated on the
top of quite a little mountain. On one
side of us is the body bay of Naples
made famous by poetry and song,
and on the other, off in the distance,can
be seen Mt. Vesuvius in almost con
stant eruption. When I look at this
mountain sending forth its volumes of
smoke and flames of fire, my heart be
gins to faint a little at the idea of as
cending to its top in the morning, and
looking over into its burning, seething
crater. These Neapolitan peasants are
a filthy, indecent sort of people. It
was bad enough in Rome, but in
Naples it is ten times worse. It is no
wonder that cholera and fever run riot
here, the only wonder is that Italy is
not one universal graveyard. Very
little clothing is worn by those peasants
the weather is so warm. Half grown
boys are commonly seen upon the
streets in a perfectly nude condition.
Extortion is practiced to the very limit
of the law. Italy is conceded to be the
home of brigands, and well does she
sustain her reputation, for some of the
charges made against helpless tourists
!< nothing short of highway robbery.
We paid eighty cents a glass for ice
water, and seventy-five cents for a
spoonful of soda. This was bad enough,
but when a bill of $10.80 was sent in to
us for a small quantity of stationery
used at the hotel, we felt like taking to
our heels and running.
the ascent. We had seen from t' e
window of our hotel the night
previous, large red streams
of fire issue from her summit and pour
down her sides like a flaming river;
we had been told that our shoes would
be ruined ana we perfectly exhausted
and certainly made sick; but in the
face of it all we four hard-lieaded wo
men determined to risk everything.
Our guide knew only one English
word, courage , and that word he had
occasion to use more than once on the
journey. We bade the party farewell
with kisses, and left them as they
thought to spend the hours between
eleven and four as best they could
awaiting our return, but, alas, alas for
them they were wearied of waiting and
waiting before we did get hack. We
made the six miles] to the foot *of the
mountains in about an hour and a half.
For a mile all around her base the lava
is so thick that it made it quite difficult
for our horses to pull through it. When
we dismounted there were men with
ropes around their waists and others
with chairs who besought us on all
sides. We tried to make them under
stand that we intended walking, but
this kept up an eternaljabber and seemed
not to understand a word or jesture of
ours. Finally becoming exasperated
BOOTH BROS. CLOSE A TRADE PO»
THREE ACRES.
Miiledge Avenue Will Soon be Built Up—
A Fine Building To be Erected
on the Lot.
tin
The journey from Naples to Pompeii
is but a short one. We left early one
morning for the purpose of visiting a
city that up to a century ago was em
bedded beneath a crust of lard. Only
a small portion of the place has been
unearthed, but there are thousands of
government hands now at work excav
ating the other portions. It is an inter
esting picture to stand by and watch
the men bring to light a piece of marble
statuary or perhaps a mail’s body per
fectly preserved. We secured photo
graphs of some who had been unearth
ed. . The most horrible expressions
were on their faces, One man was ly
ing on the ground, his teeth were stuck
into the earth, and his hands clinched
as if struggling against pain he knew
he must endure. His body had been
thoroughly preserved through the
years of imprisonment from light and
air, even to the ring upon his finger
There was unearthed the body of a wo
man, who was found lying on her back
with her baby clasped in her arms
There was a terrible look of agony on
her face that it is impossible for me to
describe. There were loaves of bread
a pot containing a piece of meat, and
eggs petrified but perfectly preserved
in shape and color. Several hours were
spent here, and interesting hours they
were. We took our dinner expecting
to go jver to Herculeneum in the after
noon, but Mrs. B. insisted on seeing
the object that had caused so much de
struct ion, and see it she would.
“When a woman wills she will,
Arid you may depend upon it.”
Yesterday the trade was closed be
tween Booth Bros, and Capt. J. W.
Brumby for the beautiful three acre lot
on Miiledge avenue.
Soon after the trade was closed and
the cheeks and deeds chn nged hands, a
Banner man saw Mr. Geo. Booth, of
the firm of Booth’ Bros., and inquired
of him what he would do with the lot,
and whether he expected to build on it
soon or not.
Mr. Booth said that the firm had con
fidence in Athens dirt, and bought it as
anjinvestment. We shall put up a
splendid dwelling house on
the lot, which will bring in a good per
cent, on the investment. We have
some money that is lying idle at present
and I think that the best thing we can
do is "to put it in good building lots.
There will soon be a demand for large
we started off, our guide leading the j as well as small houses, and it pay's to
M ay. The sun poured. I soon said to ! invest in them
No amount of persuasion or argu
ment could induce her to give up the
idea, although the proprietor at the ho
tel had told us that no woman ought
ever to make the ascent of Vesuvius;
that it was not only a most fatiguing
trip in the month of July, but abso
lutely perrilous. Warnings went in
one ear and came out the other. To
use Cuffle’s language “her mind was
sot” and there seemed no use for fur
ther aigumeut. But another question
arose for discussion: She couldn’t go
alone, some one must go with her, so
I—I—well I went and Te and N. W. We
four on horse-back with 'Vjnounted
guide started out with a Roman sun
pouring down on our heads to ride six
miles ,to Vesuvius, and there to make
myself oh B. you don’t knoM' u’hat you
have undertaken! Never before did I
conceive of such a journey; I had climb
ed the mountains of North Georgia in
the summer time, but pshaw, that was
nothing; no trees, no branch, not even
a leaf in sight- The sun still poured
md up we plunged. All at once we
heard a feeble Voice and turning around
saw N. W. looking as though'Iife itself
was leaving her. “I can’t move a step,”
she said “Oh for some M*ater! Don’t
wait for me, go on.” “Courage” re
peated our guide several times. We
sat down on the hot lava to rest, but
ivbat rest! Sitting still with the
broiling sun pouring down upon us
seemed worse than the climbing. We
pulled N. W. up; showed her that there
was nothing to do but to go on, and on
we plunged. At times my feet would
sink so far down into the soft lava that
posively nothing but the upper part of
my body would be visible. After an
hour and a half of this torture Mrs. B.
became thoroughly exhausted and fear
fully nauseated, and she, our main stay,
gave right up and declared that noth
ing could induce her to go farther. The
sun still poured and no shade not even
an umbrella. “Courage” kept repeat
ing our guide. Mrs. B. looked every
thing else but courageous. We all got
around her, however, bolstered her up
and on we started. Next K. gave out
and 1 thought oh me, my time M ill
come next!
When we had nearly reached the top,
as we thought n r e saw in the distance
a gentleman decending, ivc called him
and asked him bow near we n r ere to
our journey’s end. “You are half way
up madam, but for God’s sake do not
turn back. God help you to reach the
top if it takes you until day break,”
and with a “hurrah for the American
eagle” lie passed on. Two hours plow
ing and only half u-ay up. What fools
we are! Oli, for a drink of Mater! Just
then I heard the sound of thunder and
with a startled cry looked up and from
Vesuvius’lofty summit beheld a ball of
fire throM'n headlong into the air, then
falling rolled down the side of the
mountain. Such a magnificent sight
1 never saw before and I never shall see
again.The ball of/ burning lava
oppeared .to be about the size
of the sun just before sunset and must
have weighed fully a ton. Some men
who were a little nearer than we turned
back and ran toward us very much
frightened. The idea of fright never
entered my mind, for the sight was too
magnificent. On we ploughed and fi
nally the time came n lien we reached
the promised goal, and oh, the
sight we there beheld ! We assembled
ourselves around this great crater and
looked doM'n into it. The sulphurous
smoke was stifling, and the fed hot
flames scorching. The burning lava
washnrled upward into the air and be
coming solidified in the form of stones
would fall back again into tiie basin be-
low. How shall I describe it? It is
impossible. The little picture I enclose
will give j’ou some feeble idea of Vesu
vius as I saw it.
When I tell you that we Mere all fully
repaid for the labor, the fatigue, the
peril m c bad endured you may perhaps
imagine the sight. No, not even then.
The descent M as much easier, for we
ran most of the May.
I M-onlil not take tMO
hundred dollars for the sight ,nor would
I take it again for four hundred. We
reached our party (poor people) at eight
o’clock that night, missed the trip to
Herculeneum,and M orse than all missed
our train. Despite the uneasiness we
had given our friends, they received us
very SMeetly. We took the nine o’clock
train to Naples, arrived at ten, took
supper, which was the first morsel the
hard headed four had enjoyed since
breakfast. With the memory of the
terrible disaster to Pompeii and Hercu
leneum, isn’t it strange that these peo
ple will go and settle right at the base
of this mountain, not knowing when a
like calamity may overtake them ? And
now goodbye. I have recovered from
my fatigue and am quite M-ell.
The Booth Bros, have put their money
into several buildings in our city,which
are paying them haudsemely. This
firm deserves a great deal of credit for
their management in business matters
Only a few years ago they came from
their home in Jackson county and went
to work in Athens. They had pluek
and enegy but no money to commence
M’ith, but this did not deter them, and
by strict attention to business and fair
dealings and temperate habits they now
rank with the best business men in our
city.
We only w'isli Athens had more of
such men who are ready and M illing to
put their money out M’hen it will do the
most good.

THE SUN
FOB 1889,
And for the Democracy.
The Sim believes that the campaign for the
election of a Democratic Congress in 1890 and a
Democratic President in 1892 should begin on or
about the fourth ofpiarch. Tiie Sun will lie on
hand at the beginning and until the end of the
most important and interesting political conflict
since tiie war, doing its honest utmost, as ever,to
secure tiie triumph of the Democratic party, and
the liermanent supremacy of the principles held
bv Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden.
‘The great fact of the year Is the return to ab
solute power of tiie common enemy of all good.
Democrats—the political organization for whose
overthrow of The Sun fought at the front for
fifteen veai-s, tiie ineinoi-ahle years of Gram and
the Fraud Haves, and Garfield and Arthur.
It is tiie same old enemy that Democrats now
confiont, and he wilf be intieuched in the same
strong position. It has been carried once by
brave and hopeful lighting. Do you not believe
with The Sun that the thing can be done again ?
Wait and see?
The ho]>e of the Democracy is in the loyal ef-
foi ts of a united press, cherishing memories of
past differences in non-essentials, forgetting
evei vthing bat the lessons of experience, ana
tlxit victory Is a duty.
Probably vou know The Sun already as a
newspaper which gets all the news and prints it
in incomparably interesting shape; which
chronicles facts as they occur and tells the truth
about men andeventswithabsolute fearlessness,
milking the completcst and most entertaining
journal published anywhere on earth; and which
sells its opinions only to its subscribers and pur
chasers at two cents a copy—on Sundays lour
cents. If you do not know the Sun, send for it
and learn what a wonderful thing it is to be in
the sunshine.
