THE GLORIOUS WEST AS SEEM BY THE GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION. It Beautiful Cities, Fertile Valleys, Snow Owned Mountains, and Wealth Producing Mines- * When the 30th annual meeting of the Georgia Frees Association was call, ed to order by the president, Mr.H. H. Cabanise, of the Atlanta Evening Journal, at 10 a. m, on September 27, the large number of members congre gated in room 104, Kimball bouse, Atlanta, little dreamed of the delight* fol trip which they were to start on that night, and, as the days passed and they were swiftly moving; across the continent viewing the moat wonderful scenery of the world, all sanctioned the one opinion—the Georgia Press Association was the one enviable among others. , . ; ' The meeting of the association in Atlanta was one of great pleasure, but for lack of space I will omit its pro* oeediog and endeavor to interest the readers of this article with a descrip tion of the eights seen by a "Georgia cracker.” The Pullman Palace Car Co. com-. pletely captured all in the beginning, by placing two handsome cars at our disposal, to be used throughout the trip. • But there are others quite as clever, and this fact you will soon learn; for the railroads and newspapers always try to outdo each other in courtesies. The Georgia delegation who were to visit the Trans-Miseissippi and Inter- * rational Exposition at Omaha, left Atlanta on a special train over the W. &A. railroad at 8:30, p. m , Sept. 27, arriving in Nashville for breakfast the next morning, and reaching St. Louis • in the afternoon, over the NashviHe, Chattanooga and St. Louis. Arriving at Omaha at 3p. m. next day over the Missouri Pacific, the par ty was met by ex-Gov. W. J. Northen, who had made arrangements for the entire party at the Millard Hotel. The exposition company complimented us with tickets into the grounds during our stay in the city. Georgia day was a great success. The long procession which was formed in the Georgia building and marched to the auditori um, saw the bright, glaring signs of “Welcome Georgia” op all sides. But you all have read of bow the ‘'Empire State” covered herself with glory on her day at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, and I shall not repeal the story, though it be worthy of it. The exposition was a grand success, and Omaha is to be congratulated by the entire civilized world upon her ac complishment at this time. Three days were spent most pleasantly in thin-city after which we took our departure over the Union Pacific for Denver, thence to Salt Lake City, Utah. The scenery along this road was grand, and it was with regret that the dark shadows of night closed down upon us. And when the dawn of a new day spread its rays of light across the plains of Nebraska and Southern Wyoming, many looked upon the beautiful scene with longing desires for the overcoat at borne—for everything as far ss the eye could see was covered with a heavy snow. But the picture was yet to be seen, for at 3:30 in the afternoon (Monday) we reached the Union depot at Salt Lake City, and saw the beautiful city in the fertile valley surrounded by the snow capped mountains, which are yielding millions of dollars annually from their mines—l for one was awe stricken. The day in that city was one ever Dlive in the memory of all, for we weto royally entertained while there. Early Tuesday morning we were driven over the city and country with guides to explain everything of inter est. At 11 o’clock we were tendered cn crgan vocital a; the great Mormon tabernacle which is ranked among the largest and finest structure of its kind in the world with an organ sec ond to none ever made. From 12 to 130 we were complimented with free baths at the great Hot Springs Sani tarium, alter whiuh we were given by the p:esa of the city a trip to Great Salt Lake, At half past four we re turned to the city where we had pre viously accepted an invitation to go through the mining and horticultural building. Here speeches were made by several prominent citizens of that city, which were ably responded to by our fellow statesman, Col. F. H. Rich ardson. But time was cot short here as we bed another very important engage ment to keep before leaving the city at 7:50—t0 dine at the Kouteford. Mr. G. 8. Holmes, of thia beautiful and popular hotel, received the entire party in a most gracious manner and entertained them royally. All depart* ed, after a most elaborate menu bad been served, with three cheers for the Knutetordand Salt Lake City. . From this gem of the west we trav eled over tire Denver and Rio Grand road, stopping at Glennwood Springe, the loveliest and now moat popular resort of the west, and at Colorado Springs where we took a tour to Pikes Peak and through the Garden of the Gode. A trip to the west is incom* plete without a tour through the Rockies over this road. The road meanders down the Ar* kansae river through varying scenery of broad scope and gradually being closed in upon, finds itself in the ponderous jam of the gaping Royal Gorge, the most wonderful piece nf scenery in this grand trans-continental route, but it is no more wonderful than the great achievement of the Denver & Rio Grand railroad, in building its line through this almost impassable gorge, where the rushing, roaring water of the Arkansas river battle for room with the precipitous granite cliffs—thousands of feet high. At places the railroad is suspended in mid air over a seething caldron of the rushing river, whose roar, coupled with the awful grandeur of the overt hanging cliffs, makes one of tbe most awe-inspiring scenes and incidents to be found anywhere on tbe globe. Thus we traveled until we reached Denver on Friday night where we spent Saturday—as all previous days —most pleasantly. But.our trip bad already beenApnger than at first ex* pec leu and although a dull moment had not been spent on the entire jour ney, many were ready to return to Georgia. We left Denver over the Missouri Pacific that night, arriving at Kansas City tbe next afternoon and from there straight back to Atlanta over the roads traveled on our journey west. The Georgia Press is a great organi zation and the trip was a glorious one and this "Georgia cracker” saw more in those three weeks than be will be able to tell of in three years. Whether I tell it all or not is a matter of doubt, but I live io hopes that my first will not be my last trip with this able body of pencil sbovers. J. C. Sawtell. Yellow Jaundice Cured.

A Street Car Incident- A man with an incipient jag board ed a Gilmor street car this morning, says the Baltimore News, and asked the conductor; “Does this car go to Highlandtown?’ The conductor did not bear the question, and the man asked, indig nantly : “I want to know, and know quick, if this car goes to Highlandtown?” Tbe conductor answered that it did not, and the route mapped out by cbe railroad officials for him, and which be would take, barring a collision, break down, or running off the track, was by tbe Gilmor street way. Tbs dased man asked, in an injured tone: “And don’t this car go to High landtown?” “No, sir,” replied the conductor, “Well,” said tbe man. “I’m glad it don’t.

The Rome Tribune sensibly says: * A great many of our best people, most enterprising and patriotic, are given to a practice that works great mischief to our local interests and is a hindrance to tbe progress of the city. That practice is refusing or neglecting to patronize our home industries, and going elsewhere to buy their goods. Thousands of dollars per year are spent elsewhere by our people which could be as profitably spent here •‘ln feet every dollar carried away works a positive injury to our own town, while it does not in the least benefit the purchaser, as the bagains be or she gets abroad are not one whit heller than could be bad at home. “This is all a fad, tbe idea of going abroad for things that can be bought at home.

An Editor Loose- This is tbe way the editor feels when he does his sentiment in blank verse: ‘I would flee Iron the city’s rule and law—from its fashion and forms cut loose—and go where tbe strawberry grows on its straw and the gooseberry grow- on its goose; where tbe catnip tree ie climbed by the cat as she clutches for her prey—tbe guileless and unsuspecting rat on the rattan bush at play ; I will watch with ease tbe saffron cow and tbe cowlet id their glee, as they leap in joy from bough to bough on tbe top of a cowslip tree; and list while tbe partridge drams hie drum and tbe woodchuck chucks his wood, and tbe dog devours tbe dog wood plum in tbe primitive solitude. "O let me drink from the mossgrown pump, that was hewn from the pump kin tree! Eat mush and milk from a rural stump, from folly and fashions free—new gathered mush from the mushroom vine, and milk from the milkweed sweet —with pineapple from tbe pine. And then to a whitewashed dairy I’ll turn, where the dairymaid hastening hies, her ruddy and golden red butter to churn from tbe milk of her butterflies; and I’ll rise at morn with the earliest bird, to tbe fragrant farmyard pass, and watch while the farmer turns bis herd of grasshoppers out to grass.—Pacific Union.
