Tallulah Kails. —No feature of the
annual convention of the Georgia
Weekly Press Association, which took
place last week, was more enjoyable
than the trip from Commerce to Tal
lulah Falls and Clayton, which was
made in special through cars provid
ed by the Southern railway and the
Tallulah Falls ruilway. The editors
thus had an opportunity to view the
beautiful country along the line of the
Tallulah Kails railway, which Is be-
Indian Head and Gorge of the Tallulah River.
coming more popular every year as a
summer playground for the people of
•Georgia and neighboring states, they
■enjoyed the' hospitality of the Georgia
Railway and Power company, which
tendered them a barbecue at Tallulah,
and of the people of Clayton, who en
tertained them in their homes and fed
them on the many delightful products
of the mountain country, and saw for
themselves that, far from being rob
bed of its scenic beauty by reason of
the great power development, this de
lightful country is now more attractive
than ever, and, in addition to all its
natural charms, is now enjoying many
comforts and an industrial prosperity,
Impossible under old conditions.
After the barbecue at Tallulah, the
editors were shown the power plant at
the foot of the gorge of the Tallulah
river, and then visited the dam at the
head of the gorge; and most of them,
for the tlrst time, saw the lake which
has here been created. Then all board
ed the special cars for Clayton, where
they were taken in hand by the hospi
table citiaens and shown every courte
sy. Very few of the editors had previ
ously been north of Tallulah Falls, and
they were all greatly impressed with
the natural attractions of the country
and the evident fertility of its soil.
From the days of the earliest settle
ments in Georgia, tourists journey to
admire the wonderful falls at Tallulah,
and seekers after health and happi
ness made their summer homes in
this delightful region. When the Tal
lulah Falls railway was built from Cor
nelia to Tallulah Falls, travel was
made easy and a popular resort was
developed and, with every passing
year has increased in favor. W ith the
extension of the line from Tallulah
Falls through the famous Rabun Gap
to Franklin, N. C.. a great stretch of
healthful and beautiful country was
made easy of access to all who seek
a cool place in which to spend the
summer months.
W : hile Tallulah Falls was the first
resort in this territory, there are now
many others rivaling it for popular !
favor, and, in fact, the entire line from
Cornelia to Franklin is dotted with re
sort hotels and summer cottages, which
are making this section famous as a
land for delightful summer vacations.
Among the popular resorts are: Cor
nelia, Demurest, Clarkesvllle, Turner
ville, Tallulah Lodge, Tallulah Falls,
Mathis, Tiger, Clayton, Mountain City,
Habun Gap, Dillard and Franklin.
Highlands, N. C., is easily reached from
Dillard and Habun Gap is to be the
railway station for the Rabun colony,
a summer home club, which has been
organized by a number of prominent
Georgians.
Tallulah Falls has an altitude of
1,569 feet, with its numerous hotels
and boarding houses within sound of
the roar of the waters pounding away
at the gray granite walls of the great
gorge, and within easy walking dis
tance from many points of vantage
from which can be seen the falls and
the marvelous chasm which through
thousands of years of ceaseless effort
they have cut through the mountain
heights, Is naturally the best known
of the resorts, hut the entire stretch
of territory along the line of the Tal
lulah Falls railway from Cornelia to
Franklin lias become a summer play
ground and health resort.
One of the great advantages of this
section as a summer vacation land for
Georgia people is its accessibility.
Cornelia, the junction point of the Tal
lulah Falls railway with the Southern
railway, is only 7S miles from Atlanta,
where good connections are made with
all through trains of the Southern and
other lines, affording facilities for a
speedy and comfortable trip from ev
ery town in Georgia.
.The Tallulah Falls railway offers
the best of service. In the past two
years, there have been great improve
ments, heavy expenditures having been
made for betterment to roadways and
for new equipment. The new steel
bridge over the Tallulah river is one
of the handsomest and most substan
tial structures of its kind to be found
anywhere. It Is four hundred and
eight feet long, the steel girders rest
ing on concrete piers over one hun
dred feet high, which are anchored to
the granite bedrock of the mountain
chasm. The bridge takes the place of
a wooden structure, which has been
abandoned, and many wooden trestles
have also been replaced by permanent
earth fills.
Station at Clayton.
At Cornelia, the junction of the Tal
lulah Falls railway and the Southern
railway, a handsome new station,
which wiki be used jointly by the two
roads, is just being completed, and will
add greatly l>p the comfort of travelers
making the trip to the mountains.
GO WHERE YOU PLEASE
EAT WHAT YOU PLEASE
That is what you can do if you
take Dodson’s Liver Tone. Many
people know the danger of calo
mel, yet they take it because they
know of nothing better. Other
people are not afraid of calomel,
because they do not understand
what a dangerous drug it is. Be
cause it has never hurt them,
they believe it never will.
No one needs to take danger
ous calomel (which is just anoth
er form of mercury.)
Slaton Drug Cos. sells Dodson’s
Liver Tone for fifty cents a bot
tle and guarantee that it takes
the place of calomel.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleas
ant tasting vegetable remedy
that livens up the liver without
causing any restriction of habit
or diet. It has none of the many
bad after-effects of calomel and
is safe for children as well as
grown-ups.
You don’t run a single risk
when you try Dodson’s Liver
Tone, because if you aren’t en
tirely satisfied all you need to do
is go right back to where you
bought it and have your money
cheerfully refunded to you with
a smile. Isn’t that fair? adv

LIGHTNING STRUCK
METHODIST CHURCH
During the severe rain and
electrical storm Monday morning
the steeple of the Methodist
church was struck and badly
damaged by lightning. This is
the second or third time that
lightning has struck the Metho
dist church, and the peculiar co
incidence is the subject of re
mark by all who are familiar with
the circumstance.
One of the heaviest rains of the
season fell Monday and the elec
trical display was one of the most
severe ever seen here. The rain
was much needed by growing
crops and did a world of good,
the value to the farmers of the
county being almost inestimable.
