Cherokee Springs, near Ringgold, Ga., on the Western & Atlantic rail road, are very popular this season. Write to R. W. Doak, Esq., at Ring gold, Ga., and he can tell you things which will be of interest to you if you wish to find a cool place with pure air and pleasant water. The Kennesaw Route is the shortest. From Kingston or Cartersville itj is a pleasant trip out to the great Salt petre Cave, which can justly be called the Mammoth Cave of Georgia. The underground passages and halls of kings” afford an abounding interest to visitors. mH Only via the Western and Atlantic railroad can you get to the healthiest county in Georgia, b not in America.

Chamberlin, Johnson & Co. On the first page of this paper we print a cut of, perhaps, the finest dry goods house in the South. It is the palace store of Chamberlin, Johnson & Co., corner of Whitehall and Hun ter streets, Atlanta, and is a marvel of massive architectural beauty; while inside is an aggregation of goods, par tially described on the first page, to be found in no other Southern store. A walk through Chamberlin, Johnson & Co.’s great establishment is equal to a visit to an exposition, and a source of intense delight to the ladies who ad mire exquisite fabrics fiom all coun tries, which can be seen in great profu sion in this establishment. The ladies and gentlemen of Atlanta are familiar with Chamberlin, Johnson & Co.’s store, and visitors to the city should not fail to call and inspect the rare goods there to be found. As another instance of how the “grinding monopolists” oppress their employes, we notice that the New York Central railroad company has given a lot on the corner of Madison avenue and Forty-fifth street, 40x80 feet, on which Cornelius Vanderbilt will, at his own expense, build a fine three-story and basement building and fit It up complete, with library and reading rooms; billiard and bowling rooms; a general meeting room and sleeping apartments, for the free use and ben efit of employes of the New York Cen tral and its affiliated lines. The use of natural gas in the manu factories of Pittsburgh has done away with the consumption of 189,850 bush els of coal a day. In 250 working days, which is considered a year by the manufacturers, the whole amount of coal displaced would run up to 47,450-, 000 bushels. Calculating 100 bushels to be an average day’s output for a coal miner, it would take 1,600 coal miners to dig this coal; but altogether the use of the natural gas has thrown about 5,000 men out of work in that region. It required the use of 633 railroad cars to transport the black dia monds. The big new cast-iron pipe works, at Chattanooga, will employ 600 men at the start, soon to be increased to 1,000 men. 9
