TALLULAH FALLS AND RABUN GAP CUUNTRY
The Tallulah Falls and Rabun Gap
country which Is so easily reached
from every important point in the
South now offers more attractions to
the tourist than ever before and upon
it is centered a greater interest than
lias existed at any time in the past.
Hundreds of families from Georgia
and other Southern States have
made annual summer pilgrimages to
this land of cooling breezes, many have
built permanent homes, many others
are building, and plans are now well
under way for the establishment of a
number of communities by clubs
which have been formed for the espe
cial purpose of providing their mem
bers with summer homes in this sec
tion.
Where so much has been provided
by nature the hand of man has not
been idle and at Tallulah Falls a great
power development has been com
pleted by which the waters of the Tal
lulah river have been harnessed and
made to serve the convenience of those
who visit the resorts along its course.
The power development does not de
tract from the natural scenic beauty
but on the other hand adds greatly to
the natural attractions since two im
mense artificial lakes have been form
ed, one at Tallulah Falls and the oth
er at Mathis. These lakes will pro
vide the most attractive boating and
bathing and will practically complete
the round of sports open to the tourist.
Already arrangments are being made
for the building of a number of sum
mer homes on the shores of these lakes
and within a few years it is expected
that both of them will be practically
surrounded by a chain of summer cot
tages and hotels.
The whole region traversed by the
Tallulah Falls Railway offers the most
diversified attractions. The lover of
nature and out-doors will find more to
admire and wonder at along the 58
miles of this line than can be found on
journeys extending hundreds of miles
through other sections. The hotel ac
commodations are most satisfactory,
many of the hostelries being of excep
tionally high order. In addition to the
hotels there are large numbers of
boarding houses in which guests will
find entertainment to suit their tastes.
Visitors will find a great variety of
sport awaiting them. Horse-back rid
ing and tramping over the mountain
trails are especially attractive pas
times while for those who desire less
strenuous exercise there are plenty of
good teams and comfortable vehicles
to be used in journeys to points of in
terest which abound throughout the
section. The fisherman who enjoys
the exciting sport furnished by the
Rainbow Trout of the mountain
streams will find himself well repaid
for a visit while those who know how
to use the rod and reel effectively
enough to land the Muskellunge—the
big .h of the Little Tennessee River
w ill find royal entertainment.

Hon. G. R. Hutchens of Rome
will sneak in Jackson at 11
o’clock Saturday morning in the
interest of his candidacy for the
United States senate. His ad
dress will be in the court house
and a large body of voters will
doubtless turn out to hear him.
Mr. Hutchens is one of the
state’s most prominent public men
He is making a good race for the
United States senate and though
he is not creating as much talk as
some of the candidates he is cam
paigning after his own fashion
and is said to be meeting with
considerable encouragement. It
is certain that he has a large
number of supporters in Butts
county and the people generally
will be glad of an opportunity to
hear him discuss the issues of the
campaign.
Mr. Hardwick spoke here sev
eral days ago and Mr. Hutchens
will therefore be the second one
of the candidates for the short
term senatorship to make an ad
dress in Butts county.
CITY WILL HAVE
CAR SERVICE SOON
MOTOR CAR HAS ARRIVED

Next Few Days
Jackson will soon have street

things in shape for the operation
of the car line.
The gasoline motor car has ar
rived and will be operated the

the first of next week.
For the present the car wiU be
run between the depot and the

is said.
In the course of a few months
or as soon as possible the line is
to be extended to Indian Springs
and other points in this section,
according to the information giv

gineer and railroad builder of At

is incorparted under the name of
the Middle Georgia Interurban
