Tallulah Falls.
Mr. Editor :—Whil« up here in
iiorth-onHt. Georgia enjoying
mountain , thought
*'** " (l wc
i would let friends home hear
I our at
| f IO ui us. Our little party left
con Saturday afternoon, July
at 1:80, but on account of do-
rangmnant of schedules did not
arrive at the Falls until 11 o'clock
that night.
There are two or three largo ho.
lels, cottages for rent and board-
ing houses gahre h | t ._
m<>rn boarding places than
I suppose the summer excur-
sionists are at the World’a Fair,
... W staving , at f the Lodge, .
e are
about a mile anil a half from the
falls. It is an imposing two-story
structure built on the old colonial
style, has broad piazzas extending
around and the characteristic big
old-fashioned columns. * ls
equipped v\ ith fire apparatus, tel-
egrapli and long distance tele¬
phone, and is lighted throughout
by electricity, file lobby is
ly * carpeted, 1 ai d ilia light nttv
low chairs are a comfort indeed
when one comes in from a lotig
jaunt. For tlioconveninnce of tliu
guests of the Lodge there
are two motor cars that will car¬
ry from ten to twelve people each
to and from the falls and over the
new part of l ho railway that fol¬
lows the winding Tallulah ri\e-
five miles abovo the falls to the
mouth of Tiger creek.
Among the curiosities and in¬
teresting things is the beautiful
and romantic looking ltomo of an
exile from F.ance. In | r-is, e lii g
around he liked up here and built
th s home. Soon after getting
here he was taken sick ami
through his illness was so devoted¬
ly nursed and waited upon l>v one
of these mountain girls vital he
fell in love with her and (hey were
married. The house in which this
man lives is one of the popular
attractions. After going through
a great many little fancy gat <->y
and vino covered doors and on
ringing a bell the door is opened
and you pay a quarter. After¬
wards you are privileged to enter
as often, as you choose. The d„or
opens into a musevm kept by this
Frenchman .(and by the way, lie
is a real count), and every curios¬
ity and interesting thing yoifcun
want to see is found in this muse¬
um. Among (hem is a piano oyer
t-vo lino 'red \oirs old, and al¬
though it is old-fashioned and
small it is yet a sweet toned in¬
strument. lit re is also a (rue rep¬
resentation "f the instrument ol
death used during the reign of
terror in France, and a very
large dish ever a thousand years
old that was used to hold the
boar’s head at ancient arms
of various kinds me I from the
time of the Crusades to the pres¬
ent, numerous Indian relics, and
other interesting things too mi
niereus to men I ion.
It is utterly impossible to de¬
scribe the magnificent scenery
around Tallulah Falls. Our young
people are up early every mornin
and off for the fresh mountain
ait, coming in with rosy cheeks
and smiles that tell more than
words what North Georgia is do¬
ing for them.

“Wo follows,” said a reporter sitting
| with a number of Ids companions about
a stov, ‘ Ht 'uWnl«nt, “have it In our
10 ,io ,uta ° r or lotN
J .. What d'you mean'/” asked one ot
! the party.
i “Oh. there arc millions of ways
Wlint 1 have In my mind Just now Is
suddenly thrusting some one into
prominence. When t was looking
after the social lions 1 made a deal
wlOi an Itiipoverlslusl swell to give mo
spicy lilts about them, lie Lind the cn-
lm , ll!Kl j hadn't 01l0 i, ( ,
told me tluit Lord Martingale, a fresh
importation trom London, had said
Wait a certain Mrs. Ulnyletter he had
seen in Central park bent anything for
beauty they hud in Knaiuml. ‘Here's
a go,’ 1 said to my Informer. ‘1 know
Mrs. Itlnaletter. I’ll just run that
Hem In the social tidbits next Sunday,
and she'll be tickled to death.’
“Sure enough, ihe next Sunday
morning I cooked up a beautiful an-
nouneemeut of the fact that we had a
prettier woman In New York than
they had la London and no less u
crlile than Lord Martingale had said
so. AJow clays later 1 met Uuy Ulug-
letter, and he told me his wife hud
suddenly stumbled on to the Item and
It had , , pleused , her liuuieusely. ,
“That’s all 1 thought about the mat-
ter. You know we fellows can't keep
eur minds on one subject very long.
One evening l dropped Into the Metro¬
politan U|>eru House to Jot down who
was there, when 1 heard two swells
talking beside me. One of them spoke
with a decidedly Unglish accent.
•’’('an you fell me who that woman
Is in the first box from the stage In the
second tier?' he was saying.
“ 'That's young Mrs. MiekoltOn, re¬
cently married. Why do you uskV’
“ ’Because she Is the most beautiful
woman I ever saw. We’ve nothing
like her in London.'
I ’’ ‘You don't mean It.’
] “Well, who 1 the skimmed around and found
i out follows were and learned
that one of them was Lord Martingale.
Now, you may suppose that I remem¬
bered what he’d said about my friend.
Mrs. llingletter, but I bad clean forgot¬
ten it. Back 1 went to tlie office and
wrote out that Lord Martingale had
remarked at the opera that young Mrs.
Mlekelton was the most beautiful wom¬
an in New York and there was nothing
like her in London.
“About u week after that I was stroll¬
ing along upper Broadway. I had Just
lighted n cigar and was feeling very
comfortable. Truth Is I bad $10 1n my
pocket, something that hadn’t occurred
before since 1 entered Journalism, and
I was wishing some one would come
along that I could ‘blow off.’ I felt a
touch on my arm and, turning, saw a
seedy Individual looking out of a pair
of the most melancholy eyes I ever
saw. I was about to give lilm a nickel
when 1 stood stock still with astonish¬
ment.
: ‘Ctiy Itlnjclottor, can tills be you?’
r ’Yes.’ lie said mournfully.
“ ‘Wind's the matter?'
“ T’re beer ruined.’
“ 'Come In here and toll me about It.’
“I led him Into a cafe. We sat down
at one of the tables, and I called for a
lunch and sometlitng with which to
wash it down. ‘Now,* I said, 'let’is
hear it.’
“ ‘Do you remember nearly a year
ago an item you put In your paper
stating that Lord Martingale had said
Chat my wife was the moat beautiful
woman in New YorkV
“Slowly the matter got hack into my
brain.
“ ‘Yes.’ I said. ‘I think I remember
something like that.’
Well, when yT> published that Item
I was fairly prosperous, r was doing
a good business and mnkbi* money.
But from the appearance of your state¬
ment I saw a change in Lucy. One
day she told me that now we were do¬
ing so well we ought to go out more,
and I soon learned that she meant we
were to begin a systematic climbing to
got Into the Four Hundred set. I did
wlmt I could to dissuade her, but It
was no use. The queen of society bee
had got Into her bonnet; Lord Martin
gale bad said that she was the most
lieautlfnl woman in New York and by
the spend 1 1 rg of some money she could
easily enter the elect set and with such
a recommendation ut once become u
lertder.
“ ‘The most fashionable dressmaker
was hired for her elollies, and the prin¬
cipal Jeweler of the city furnished the
gems. We gave two entertainments and
got: In five swells In all. They were
young men of fashion who live by their
W’ils and were glad to get “full” on my
champagne. Several women who
claimed to bo In the smart set wore at
our soirees, but we found out after¬
ward that they were Impostor i.
“‘Meanwhile the bills began to come
tn, and I found the work of sotting tny
wife up as a professional beauty was a
terviUle expense. You see, ( couldn’t
attend to my business and keep track
of the expenses at home. I left every¬
thing of that nature to Lucy, who was
so anxious to succeed la her undertak-
] U fr that she took no account of money
that steed between her and n position
iri keeping with that cursed lord’s opJm
Ion.
“ ‘Well, what's the use giving details?
One day l found my business and ev-
erylhiug dosed out. To cap the climax
Hie otlu r day I look up your paper and
read that Lord Mai'tlndale had said
that the most beautiful woman in New
York was a Mrs. Somebody Rise. t tt
The reporter paused and gave a few
vigorous puffs on his cigar. Then he
concluded:
“Boys, that’s the worst Job I've done
since I’ve been n reporter.”

Don’t you grow weary of the Extravagant, clothes talk in the

Isn’t it refreshing to read the “ad” of a clothing house that does
not proclaim that some manufacturer is “busted”?
Isn’t it refreshing to trade with a house that, does not proclaim!
we are the only “it” in town—the greatest it, etc?
Isn’t it refreshing that we do not advertise we are over stocked?
