No, not tliat, but I have refer¬ ence to a mammoth cave the mouth of which was cloesd, and I am now developing my find.” What do yon expect to turn up? asked the quill man. . “It is just this i You know Fate Quinton find I aro old ebonies and • i . when I made the discovery 1 im¬ mediately communicated tho whole facts to him, and ho became very much interested and thereupon told tfio it was what he had been search ing for sioco 1859 at which time he been informed by an old set¬ tler that valuable treasuro had been buried by tho Indians in a certain cave in the Jehkifls gulf, and the moflth o£ tho cave scaled up with rough stones.’’ “Now, you know why I am so i Interested lfi rojr ‘find’ nnd Fate atid I aro working so hard to inves¬ tigate thoroughly this cave.

He was accompanied on tho trip by Chancellor Bdggs and .Professor Whito, of Athens. .It was bad Hoi an official inspection. That been made by tho experiment station commission. The governor want'* ed to seo it meroly as a matter of interest, And to inform himself as to tho advantages of the farm for illustrating Georgia soil and Geor¬ gia products—** The Chancellor went to make a speech as well as to look over the farm again. He made a vory in¬ teresting address on education in Griffin Tuesday night; Governor introduced tVhen him in a short speech asked this, morning his opinion of tho experiment farm. Governor Gordqn said: » “I don’t think there is in Geor¬ gia a place that can compare with it in dll respects. If tho commis¬ sion hud had at its disposal all the money it wanted, it could not have ohosen a bettor site for the station, It is simply perfect. Thore is a great variety of soil, illustrKting all sections, from tho ihoutitains to the gulf, and it is undulating eobugh to exemplify all the levels and we are accustomed to tee in the State. The hills will require drainage, and afford opportunity for tho study of this most import¬ ant feature in Georgia farming. Then there !% a Just proportion of woods and cultivated land. 1 think that the farmers of the State should be shown by the conduct of this station that woodlands are valuable The uhderbrush should be cleared away, and clover and b’rbhfird and other grasses that will flourish in the shado should be sown firidbr the trees. The low land on tne farm in the grove behind tho House, will make a most e<c(3llent pasture, and a model dairy farm. ‘‘Of course the accessibility of Griffin is well known, In addition to the general accessibility of Grif fin it should be noted that the rail road, running directly in front of the farm, will admit of a station bo ing placed right at ihe door.” “How about money to buy t tr e Bates place ?” “Oh, there’s no trouble about that. The monoy is right and ready. The onty Question i*s to whom shall tho deed from Bates be made, whether to the Sta*o or to the com¬ mission. I shall gdt.-th'eattorney general’s opinion on this point. “As to eollego buildings, the Be¬ attie school house and grounds will vory probably bo ifiven or loaned to tho State for this purpose. “This wilLmake the experiment s<ation complete.”—Atlanta Jour¬ nal.

Why More to Georgia. Because the climate is perfect. Because the soil is fbrtile and prolific: B'ecauf’o land is abundant and c tr. Because a homo can be made with little labor. Because the yield is largo and pricos always remunerative. Because life is a luxury in a land where tho sun shines ovory day. Because therb aro chilnCes for a poor man which He can neVcr hope to find in colder ebuhtrios. Bcckjssb the country is advanc ing and property values increasing. Because tho vast and varied re sources of the country aro yet to bo developed. Beckiiso a man can make a liveli hood hero with loss labor than in any part of the United States. Because goed land is becoming more scarce, and if you don’t catch on now your last chance Will soon be gone. Bocauso tho workers roceivo fair compensation for their labor. Bocartse the wealth of its farming valleys and its grazing lands and its forests will yet build up a great and prosperous country. Because tHero is health and vig¬ or and strength in every breeze. Because tho settler nood not spend A lifetimo in felling trees and digging out stumps. Because vegetation is sd rapid that in two years tho homo is sur¬ rounded by a growth of trees and shrubs, which would requiio five years to develop in a colder coun¬ try.—Cartorsville Cburant Ameri¬ can* ^Nepotism.” The Cleveland Leader roforping to risod tho.criticisms on Presidont Har* J'■ .ppointmm •' j* of relatives ti o!«oe, declared i that u . *. ,t was . moor reettoeallit nepotism—that the word nepotism moant tho appoint¬ ment of several relatives.
