cam awaiting to convey us
“*ie Piedmont. Hotel, the home of Gen
longstreet, to vvliicli place we had
been invited by Mrs. Lougstreet to
partake in a reception, of which the
Con dilution speaks as follows:
“When Mrs. Lougstreet asked tho
Geoi gia press association to meet l.s-f
under her own roof, the Lougstreet j of
the past twenty years passed in pano¬
ramic review. But it was oiily mo¬
mentary. and then the gallant figure
which had led so many a hard-won
fight loomed up. It was the Loug¬
street of 1SG4, the Lougstreet whose
name 's already recorded in history,
and tiie Longstreet whose name will
live in song and stoiy w iile memory
of the confederacy lasts. At the men¬
tion of his name by the life of a wom¬
an, that woman his wife, that wife a
type of the womanhood of the south
which bad excelled the record of its
sex in devotion to home and people, a
mighty cheer went up, and private and
commander were as one again. Long
stri el was once more in the saddle,
while pressing close around him were
men as ready to do his bidding as ever
gathered to his side in the army of
Northern Virginia.
Thus tiie scene presented in the
beautiful parlors of Mis Longstreet in
the Piedmont hotel became historic
and one well worthy of painter’s brush.
The honors of the occasion were dis¬
pensed |»y Mrs. Longstreet, surround¬
ed by .Miss Lula Longstreet, Mrs. Ken¬
dall, Mrs. Ross, Miss Edmonson, .Yiss
Barnett, Miss Handers, Miss Ayeock
and many other ladies. Capt. II. W.
Newman, of Canton, who happened to
be there on business,was drafted by the
association to make the introductions,
which lie did in a happy manner. Ad¬
vancing toward the dist inguished lady,
Capt. Newman said:
Mrs. Longstreet: In behalf of the
Georgia Weekly Press association, we
come to thank you for this cordial
beptlon, :ir!| i to pay honor to the wife
of one who so gloriously illustrated
southern valor and defended the virtue
of our mothers and daughters. Moth

]a.s, the Scottish chief, went to regain
t!ie toinb of our blessed Savior from
the ha ds of the infidels, lie carried
tim in art of Bruce in a golden caskei,
and when in tho midst of battle and
being hotly pressed he threw the cas¬
ket in the ranks of the enemy and said:
Go, brHe heart, I will follow Lliee or
die. Your gallant husband was the
heart of Bruce to the army of northern
Virginia, and when he gave the com¬
ma d they would follow him to vieLv
iv or lo death. We hope that yods,
lives may lie long spared as a benedie

our, thanks for their untiring efforts lo

Gainesville succeeded admirably in
capturing the hearts of all of us, and
the mode they had of doing this cap¬
turing was treating us kindly and fed
us extraordinarily well. Long may
the people of tins lovely city live and
prosper.
Through the kindness of Mr. J. M.
. rown, (ten. Gass. Agt., of the Wes¬
tern & Atlantic it. R. we were tender¬
ed a nice excu siou to Chattanooga,
Tean., on the night of the otli, Friday
the (5th was spent in this growing city.
We visited tiie princifial parts of the
city over the Union fi, IL, a dummy
railroad that is stretched all over the
pliice, Mr. J allies, one of the directors
went with us and extended us all the
coLi tesies possible.
We met President Campbell, of the
Lookout ML. Incline JR. R. and the
Hoard of Trade of the city, who took
charge of us in tho afternoon and car- j
riedus all over the great lookout
Mountain and showed us all the sights.
Wg went up this mountain a part of j
the way on a broad gouge railroad and
then took the incline road. II: is an
exciting thing to get upon a car that
pes up and down a railroad track ole
vate.d about 40 degrees. Mr. G. N,
Woodworth is the manager of this
wonderful road and did all he could to
make us enj ly our trip over the steep.
We fou ,d on the top one, of the iriosL
[deasant hotels we ever saw.
After leaving the Hotel we too*, a

for their kindnesses to ih while tlietc.
We could write page after page upon
i he subject of tiiis trip nut for the
want of space we are compelled to
close our comments ami Ilia reader can
imagine that wu were well taken
of on this trip. Some of the I’n-.i s
-oys have writti-ii four columns* de¬

Lee Shackelford fell in love with a
Gainesville young lady and has been
singing “The Lily of the Mountains;
the Fairest of Ten Thousand to My

.AIf. Herrington, of Swainsboro, has
been in a trance every since lie retuin
ed from Chattanooga. Ho can love

“boy” we ever saw.
The scenery about Chat tanoogo is as
pretty as can bo found.
Mr. Paul Alkerson, tho young man
from Madison, Ga., who married Miss
Lula Hurst, is living in Chattanooga
and is well pleased with his home and
business.
Gainesville’s advantages are very
superior and the place is destined to
be one of the b st cities inllie South.

For eighteen years I had Eczema.
During the last live years the physi¬

was so week and ieduced that 1 had to
go to bed, where I Uiv helpless for six
months. At this time my feet, legs,
neck and body were much swollen.
My whole body resembled a dead iisli,
the scales dry, dead llesii falling from
me in thick (lakes. My itching at
night during these six months was a
terrible toitr.ro. Last Christmas a
year ago, I went blind, and my sight
did not return for some time. This
sad plight continued l ight along, ex¬
