Sunday, Oct. 13.—After a refreshing night’s rest lwas up by peep o’ day to explore the city before the hot sun rays drove you iu floors. I First visited the old fort Santa Marco, but now known as Fort Marion. This is the oldest fortification in the United States, being commenced in 15*13, but was not completed until 1750; although it has stood for more .than three cen turies sieges both to hostile hosts and the elements,it is to-day in as good pres ervation as when the last block of co quina was laid. Fort Marion is at the north end o' city, and commands th e harbor. It is garrisoned by one soldier, 'Eergonut George M. Brown, who takes pleasure in showing visitors through the fort. The Sergeant had not gotten up w'hen I knocked at bis cottage door, but soon joined me. Admission is free. The fort is a inasssive structure of coquina stone, with moat and outwm ks cover ing more than 22 acres. Tins moat in old times, was filled with water, and was crossed by two drawbridges. Over the only entrance to the tort i.- the (.'oat of Anus of Spain and an in scription in Spanish, now legibly pre served. You gain entrance through a heavy folding dooor, iron bound. All tlie doors in the fort are so constructed that if a fire should destroy the srfWl work an iron-barred grating would re main. There Is still kept on one of these doors an old Spanish wrought iron : ock, that is Very strong and mas sive. Within the fort is a court, sur rounding which are 19 rooms with light «n l nine dark chambers that are loatiisome and gloomy in the ex- treiriv. To the open rcom which were used for mess purposes J y the officers and soldiers, light is ad mitted through a narrow window high up near the arched ceiling. In one of these rooms, where Spanish officers held their courts, was imprisoned Coacoochoe ami Oocola, two of the most influential chiefs in the Seminole war of 1835. Coacoochoe, with another In dian named Talmus Hadjo, decided to escape, and from the sacks given them to sleep on made a rope. Steps were then eut in the hard wall with a knife, and by mounting on his companion s shoulder Coaeo* chec managed to reach the narrow opening, but found he could not. squeeze his body through it. The two Indians then played oft' sick, and refused to eatjfor three days,thus reduc- ingtheir flesh ^sufficiently to permit a passage of.tlieir bodies through the win dow, which was accomplished one dark night, and the prisoners safely escaped. Afterwards Coaeoochee surrendered and was sent to Arkansas. The gov ernment now has iron bars across the window, but the steps eut in the wall by tho intrepid savage are still shown to visitors. Hear this window a bearing fig tree la growing out of the hard wa! s some twenty feet from the ground. This room was afterwards used as a place of confinement for the refractory Modoc and Nez Perees Indians, and they have decorated the walls with charcoal sketches of savage life, and their representations of animals are ex" CC One t * can spend days wandering around the old fort and exploring its chambers ami dungeons. Some of them are aa dark as night, and the guide has to earry a lamp. Orffe of these rooms was accidentally discover ed In 1839 by the wall needing repair, The masonB founiTan interior chamber that had been cemented up, and a story gained circulation and credence that two skeletons were found therein chained to the wall. Sergeant Brown pointed out to me the iron pins where the alleged eliains were fastened, and gays Mr. Plant, of Macon, Ga., saw the bones. The guide book of St. Augus tine, however, asserts that this room was a magazine, which is a reasonable supposition. We were shown the “Pen- ance”chamber for the Spanish soldiers, with the niches in the walls for images and crosses. The knees of the multi tude that sought forgiveness for sms here have worn into the cemented floor, We inspected the room where the In quisition met, as also the ebaped, with receptacle for images and holy water. The ramparts to the fort wer reached by an incline plain, up which the large sie<ve guns were drawn. Uncle bam *as now built a broad set of cement steps and is also making other improy e- ments with an eye more to eorofoi than romance. This is a favor ite 1 ecoi for visitors, who at night have dances where armed warriors once treat i an the banners of England,Castile an ou own stars and stripes in turn proudlj . - ■ - - ere are a number of old and piles of shot. Before the war Fort Marion was equipped with many fine brass guns, some of them;32 feet long, that eame from Spain. But the Con federacy melted them up into field pieces. Iu the court is the largest and oldest well in America, it is about 30 feel deep, and the bottom clearly seen. The water is inexhaustible, seeping in from the harbor, and is both fresh anti sweet. This old fort has been besieged sever- 1 tinis never taken. Gov. Moore attached it in 1702, but was re pulsed. In 1740 Oglethorpe bombarded it for 40 days, ami the garrison and in habitants were driven to the verge of starvation before the British general became discouraged and withdrew. The,signs of the bombardment aie still seen in the walls, that are newly patch ed. I11 1065 the Bsiccanieers sacked and burned the town, but the fort was then iu an incomplete condition and the in habitants fled to the swamps until the ! enemy had sailed.* The fort is built of coquina, a forma- i tiou made of sea shells,large quarries of ] THE ATHENS FAIR ONLY ONE ISONSH BEFORE THE SHOW WILL OPEN.

It is mi interesting study to be alone upon three hoary old ramparts, with the changes of three centuries beneath your feet. In imagination you can people again oltrejis—tbe bulwark of Spain In tlie New World. Can see the proud Castilian warrior in his coat of mail, burnished with gold, and sur- nmiiiLnlby a band of adventurous sol diers as reckless and daring as himself, iciaember those years of misery, when Indian slave, Spanish convict and Eng lish prisoners labored beneath the lash of the driver and with burthen-mme toil and suffering unspeakable budded their very lives into these coquina bas tions. Keplace the heavy iron grat ings of easement and cell; send Lome the clanging bolt and bar; listen to the piteous pleading of husband for im prisoned wifeaud of wife for imprisoned busbaud, and bear the shutting of the door upon manacled wretches who will never emerge to look upon the sun. Light again the dim ihipel’s ever-burning lamp; re store again the images, tlie holy water and the altar cloth. Build anew the scattered defenses; flood the meat, raise the drawbridge,’ let fall the porte- cullis; mount tbe guard; fling bravely, out from ihe rampart tbe banner of Castile, and let the artillery belch an gry defiance of tiie hosts under tbe Bed Cross. Look out with the famish ing women and children over tbe bay and beyond the camps of tbe enemy in vain for tbe coming of a friendly fleet. .Recall again those later years, when soldiers of George the Third guarded Fort Saint Marks and patriots languish ing in its cells. And again see the* proud Oceola in bis dark cell and watch the heroic Coaeoochee slowly wasting hi** flesh to eft’eet an escape. This ancient old fortress is full of in terest to the antiquarian and marks them, and will continue to prepare for them until the show opens on Novem ber 12th. Y»'e look forward to the opening day- as the greatest day our city of Athens has seen for a long time, and when Mr. Gr.uly arises amid the cheers of thous amis of people and bids them welcome to the Fair, everything will move off easily and gracefully to the grandest success ever experienued of its kind in Athens. The directors of the Fair are untiring in their efforts to make the Fair wliat the occasion will warrant—one of unal loyed bliss and pleasure for all. They j are adding some new feature to the pro- J gram each day. They intend to con- i tiuue this u"-til the last hour,and will be ready with the grandest feast of fun <*\ cr enjoyed by the people of North e ist Georgia when tlie Fair opens The racers will be the finest on the American turf, and the baseball games will be as good as have ever been seen in Georgia. 'The college boys will give athletic performances that will be. of great in tcrest to everybody present, and thous ands ofgother amusements will bold the spectators spell bound during the whole four day’s show. The balloon ascension itself will worth more than tlie admission price into tbe Fair and will electrify the spectators with its wonderful daring ..fent* perforaugl by the aeronaut in his dizzy heights. The Alliance Day will be well "worth seeing. It will bring together the grandest mu«ter of Alliaueeraen ever assembled in Georgia, and will be in structive and interesting to all. The farmers will make it one of the greatest days of tlie Fair. In fact everybody is moving alon with a unity of aim in the metter giving the Fair, and every class of peo ple will join to make it the greatest show ever held on the grounds The premium lists are being scattered over the surrounding country and an agentjs working up the interests of tbe Fair to the satisfaction of all.

A whole medicine chest iu your pocket, with one box of Ayer’s I’ills. As they operate directly on tlie stomach and bo'.veU. they indirectly affect every other organ of the hotly. When the stomach is out of order, .he head is affected, digestion fails, the blood be comes impoverished, and you fall as easy victim to any prevalent disease. Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., puts tlie whole truth iu a nutshell,'when she says: ** I use no other medicine than Ayer's Pills. They are all that any one needs, aud just splendid to save money iu doctors’ bills.” Here is an instance of A Physician who lost Ids medicine cliest, but, having at hand a bottle of Ayer’s Pills, found himself fully equipped.—J. Arrison, M. D., of San Jos6, Cal., writes: “ Some three years ago, by the merest accident, I was forced, so to speak, to prescribe Ayer’s Cathartic Pills for several sic] men among a party of engi neers in the Siei.-a Nevada mountains, my medicine chest having been lost in crossing a mountain torrent. I was surprised and delighted at the action of the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was led 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 ln my practice, anil find them excellent. I urge their general use in families.” T. E. Hastings, M. D., of Baltimore, Md., writes: “ That Ayer’s Pills do con trol and ciwe the complaints for which they are designed,’ is as conclusively proven to me as anything possibly can be. They are the best cathartic and aperi- eut within the reach of the profession.” Ayer’s Pills, PREPARED BY Dr. -J. C. Ayer Sc Co., Lowell, Mass, Sold by all Druggists.
