An Interesting Article on The Blue Grass Regions, Written by a Resident of this Place, Who is Now Visiting There. Written for the Newk-Gazettr : As it is usual for every one who travels even a short distance to let the world know of it through the home paper, I will be no ex ception to the rill*.*. r l his section, too, is so little known to our peo ple, that friends perhaps may be interested in hearing from it. Leaving Bartlesville April 28r<l. enroute for Owensboro, we reached Atlanta in time to spend several hours very pleasantly with friends. As night approached, a sudden thunder cloud came up and 1 began to lie very nervous at tin* thought of the large rivers and the high trestles to In* crossed in the darkness of a stormy night. But soon after taking a sleeper at 8:80, the clouds dispersed and the moon came out in till its splendor. I soon became so interested in the scenery that, all thought of danger and sleep was banished, and 1 gave myself up to enjoy every moment of the route. As we neared Marietta, Kenne saw mountains were in plain view, and all the historic associations connected with them were brought to mind. Hours passed rapidly, every passenger on board was asleep ex cept myself, and for fear of miss ing a single feature of the grand panorama, made so beautiful by moonlight, 1 did not close my eyes. I thought the moon lmd never shone with such brilliancy, like the “all seeing eye” looking in watchfulness over a slumbering world. The train climedupward, higher and higher over mountains, through tunnels, until Lookout mountains loomed up in all their grandeur far’above the tree tops, and at times seemingly above the moon even. The long chain of missionary Ridge stretching out to left for miles, and miles, awakened feeling of reverence, for we were now on ground made sacred to the memory of our noble soldiers whoso ably defended these heights against the hosts that covered the broad valley before them, like leaves of the forest in multitude. The moon casting weird shadows, transform ed every tree and shrub into mar ble, so that to the vivid imagina tiou the entire region was filled with monuments in memory of our immortal dead. Reaching Nashville at 0:40, we | had a few moments for breakfast j in the magnificent new depot build ing. We could not see much of the city as we would have liked, but were soon speeding rapidly over the lovely route now before us. Mountains and magnificent forest were still in sight, the woods filled with lovely llowcrs, with carpet of green everywhere. At short intervals pretty little towns were passed, and nice farms and white cottages in every direction spoke of thrift and success. As we neared Kentucky, the country was still more thickly settled, forming almost a con tinuous village between the numerous large towns passed. We had been climbing upward until we reached Ridge Top, Ky., then began to descend to the level country—We passed through a coal mining section where hundred were then out on a strike but many of them had come to town to see a circus. The scenery was so different from our country districts in “the old red hills of Georgia” that eyes and mind feasted on the view. I had noticed something all along the route that 1 never saw before on farms, that was the large num ber of long beds or plants covered over with white cloth, not only in fields but in woods. 1 could not imagine why hot beds were needed at that season, or what seed re quired such care. On inquiry, found t hat they were tilled with tobacco plants that are very deli cate, necessitating protection from cold until time for transplanting in May and June. We reached the city of Hender son at 1 o’clock, where we were to leave the L. A N. road. e stopped over two hours, had a ride on an electric car after taking dinner, and had my first glimpse of the beautiful Ohio river, that runs almost to the4>usiness section From Henderson to Owensboro on the St. Louis, Ohio and Louisville road is only twenty miles through the Ohio valley, a most beautiful section, almost as level as a floor, with wheat and rye fields inter | gpersed at every few hundred yards with nice white farm houses, and j fine Kentucky horses and Jersey : cows grazing the pastures. We BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1902. crossed Green river, said to be the deepest river in the world, though not very broad. We reached the end of our journey at 8:80 amt/elatives gave us a warm welcome at the hand some parsonage, where we were glad to rest. Owensboro is a very beautiful city of 2,000 inhabitants situated on the Ohio inNort-west corner of the state. The river at this point isnearlya mile wide, the business section extending almost to its banks. Largo Steamers pass from Cincin nati to Memphis and New Orleans, it is a grand sight to watch the largo white steamers of the three and five decks crowded often with excursionists from near by towns. The river flows very placidly on its course, and has never been known to overflow it banks at this place, but other towns are often flooded during the rainy season. Indiana, the “hoosier state” is in plain view across the waters and every Sunday excursion steamers are run to Rockport and Evans ville where baseball games dese crate the Sabbath day, a female bail team played. A few Sundays ago, here in Owensboro, but came from “across the river,” r/e are glad that this fashion is not toler ated in Georgia. This city has many very elegant residences, on lovely shaded streets that are perfectly level, paved with asphalt and granatoid, mak ing driving delightful behind these fast Kentucky horses. Within the past year the city has spent $250, 000 on street paving, and has just closed a large contract for finish ing. All of the side walks are in concrete, as well as yard walks, as white and smooth as huge blocks of marble, with most beautiful lawns and parks on the side. The tall Lombardy poplars shade many of the nicest streets, they grow to an immense size and branching out forma dense shade, that is very refreshing in this hot valley. For strange to say that the climate here is much warmer than in Georgia, and is much more variable, one day being excessive ly warm, and perhaps the next day or two will be real cold. The principal driving is done after early suppers, as it is the only pleasant time on very warm days. The thermometer registered 94 on Saturday, but a thunder storm at night made it very cool since. The city has very elegant pub lic buildings, particularly the public schools that are quite im posing. The churches also, twenty seven in number will compare favorably with those of the largest cities. There are twelve banks and a number of handsome stores. While in many things they dif fer from our state, I find the peo ple whom I have met, the same hospitable southerners that we have, who have extended a cordial welcome to the “stranger within their gates.” Their loyalty also to “the cause t4at we know was right,” is just as strong as with us, though they are so near the nothern states,’the river only sepa rating them. I have met only two or three Georgians, one of them a lovely woman from Atlanta, living here at whose home we enjoyed an ele gant Georgia dinner, another whom I unexpectedly met was one of our Barnesville boys, Luther Hush who is here in business. Something that looks strange to a Georgian is to see so many white laborers employed. Not only cooks,, drivers of all vehicles, porters and janitors, but all street laborers are white men, who dig and excavate as well as do all pav ing. Out at Seven Hills, one of Owensboro’s prettiest suburbs, they are arranging for a grand Chautauqua that will last three weeks. The hills are terraced and covered with blue grass, with winding driveways to the tops that are covered with lovely sum mer homes. The chautauqua grounds are in a beautiful shaded grove carpeted in grass, where an immense auditorium will be erect ed. The Superintendaut is having walks graded, rustic bridges built over the lake just finished, and several very tall white statues ten or twelve feet in height now ornament the grounds, the God dess of music standing near the lake. Several acres are enclosed, and hundreds of white laborers are at work, as steady as machines, in fact work with machines unlike anything I ever saw used iu grad ing and levelling, each with two horses and two or three men to Black Hair mmmsKnmeßamßmmmmmnamaam “I have used your Hair Vigor for five years and am greatly pleased with it.

Avery attractive program is ar ranged and as excursions by steam er and rail w r ill run from all adja cent towns, the managers expect ten or twelve thousand visitors each day. Gen Gordon will draw the Confederate soldiers, Hobson is also on the program, and Bishop Warren Candler will preach the opening sermon. The G. A.

The First Methodist church, also the Cumberland Pres byterian and Baptist churches will each have headquarters on the grounds for visitors with reception committees who will serve nice .efreshments for both body and SOlll. In this county, (Daviess,) “Tobacco is King,” instead of cotton as with us. All prosperity depends much on this crop. There are thirty three large tobacco factories, of four or five stories in height filled to the top with the leaf in the drying stage. I saw a few days ago the largest tabacco warehouse in the world. These factories employ three thousand people the year round. The county alone, plants 12000, acres in the weed and last year produced 15,000,000 pounds! It is shipped by the hnndred tons to Liverpool and London, and to different manufactories in this country, to be made into cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco etc. Another big enterprise is a cel lulose manufactory, where the pith from corn stalks is made into cellulose, for which the govern ment pays $400.00 per ton, and Europe sends large orders to the company that owns several other manufactories. The cellulose is a hard substance, used for the inner lining of war vessels, and is said to be impenetrable to balls, and impervious to water. Thousands of wagon loads of corn stalks are 'stocked up like small mountians, until ready for use. The manufacture of whiskey is also making Owensboro noted, as several of the largest distilleries in the world are near the city. Of course barrooms or saloons are iu abundant evidence, but “they say,” there is no more drunken ness than in many other places, probably because those who use it are so accustomed to it that it no longer staggers them. The most elegant and costly home in the county just on the edge of the city, was built a few years ago by Monarch, one of the largest distillers, at acostof SBO,- 000. He has had reverses however and it was sold a few days ago for $20,000. While I have enjoyed my visit to this beautiful country, and have found the “Old Kentucky Home” pleasant and hospitable, my heart turns to “my own, my native land,” which I prefer to all other sections, for a home for life, and resting place at. its close.

A REAL FRIEND. “I suffered from dyspepsia and in digestion for fifteen years,” says AV. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C. "After I had tried many doctors rnd medicines to no avail one of my friends persuad ed me to try Kodol. It gave immediate relief. I can eat almost anything I want now and my digestion is good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol.” Don’t try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further weakens the system. You need wholesome, strengthening food. Kodol enables yon to assimilate what you eat by digesting it without the stomach’s aid. Jxo H. Blackburn. L. Holmes. Bamesville r Ga. Milner, Ga. JULY SHERIFF SALES.

In a lecture on Stonewall Jack son recently delivered at Charlotte- N. C., by Dr. William J. .Tones, the lucturer said: “Mr. Davis told me not long before his death that he had intended to send Jack son to take charge of the army in the west; and with Robert Lee in command of the army in northern Northern Virginia, and Stonewall Jackson in charge of those western troops, w r hat might not have been done? It makes me think of a prayer I heard in New Orleans. A good Catholic father, who had been a chaplain in the army, was to pray. He Began by telling the Lord what good Confederates we had been, and then he pronounced a fine eulogy on Stonewall Jackson and concluded by saying, “Oh, Lord, we believe Thou doest what is right; we believe that Thou liasdec ided we ought not to succeed and that we must be defeated. But, oh, Lord, before Thou couldst defeat us Thou hadst first to re move Stonewall Jackson.’ I think for some wise purpose of His own the Lord took Jackson to Himself. I may be a sinner, yet I never could say that we did not succeed. I am a loyal citizen of this coun try, and I love the old flag, Old Glory, it is called, and if you would take from it the glory won by the southern men, you would have very little left!” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of C •fUtcTY, t&CCSuAt- There died in Massachusetts re cently James J. Kavanaugh, at the age of 112 years. According to accounts he had used tobacco for 100 years, and had taken liquor for a stimulant during the latter part of his life. These things, of course, had nothing to do with his longevity, and without them ‘he might have lived to be 150. But in all probability one thing that aided him in rouuding out his 112 w r as his refusal to be worried. “Always of an even tempera ment,” it is said, he never allowed anything to bother him.” Worry kills more people than work and probably as many as tobacco and liquor.
