L , ay we visited the Pantheon, the '"pie of the old heathen gods, which '"la ns as it formerly was _except that it has been stripped of all it< ornamen tations to adorn the churehes. The pillars are there and the walls remain untouched. It is now a church, and is considered the holy of holies. The high est honor that can be accorded anyohe is to be buried there. Within we saw the tombs of Raphael and Victor Eman uel, and I wondered if they rested any more peacefully than those who were buried in less favored places, *** We have seen St. Peters’ church and are satisfied. All other churches sink into insignificance when compared with this. The picture in the Universitv chapel gives you no idea of it. Oh the wonders and delight of Rome! Yester day we spent the morning at the Vati can, m here we saw the magnificent fres coes of Michael Angelo’s “Last Judg ment.” We had read of them 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 ration” and “The Madanna,” and Do- 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.

When the stomach is out of order, .he head is affected, digestion fails, the blood be comes impoverished, and you fall an easy victim to any prevalent disease. Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., puts the whole truth in a nutshell, when she says: “ I use no other medicine than Ayer’s Pills. They are all that any one needs, and just splendid to save money in doctors’ bills.” Here is an instance of A Physician who lost his medicine chest, but, having at hand a bottle of Ayer’s Pills, found himself fully equipped.—J. Arrison, M.

I was surprised and delighted at the action of the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was leu to a further trial of them, as well as of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer in their favor.” John W. Brown, M. D., of Oceana, W. Va., writes: “ I prescribe Ayer’s Pills In my practice, and find them excellent. I urge their general use in families.” T. E. Hastings, M.

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?
