Trenton (altitude 735; popu¬
lation 370/ was made the seat of
Dade County in 1840 and at that
time it was cailed Salem. The
following year its name was
changed to Trenton.
About 5 miles West from Tren¬
ton, on a country road, are se¬
veral abandoned ccal mines and
it has been estimated by the
Geologi al Survey that the coal
fields of Dade contain deposits
sufficient to supply the needs of
Georgia for at least 200 years.
This coal is valuable for furn-
a.es and industrial needs but is
too line for satisfactory use in
grates. The deposits still supply
some of the Trenton citizens,
although mining was discontin¬
ued about 1908 because of in¬
accessibility to markets. During
Lh latter part of the nineteenth
cer'iry, when convicts were
leased to private individuals,
numbers of prisoners served
sentences in Dade County coal
mines und r wretched con¬
ditions.
South of Trenton the dark
ceda s and bare gray ; Jiffs are
a somber scene in winter but in
spring the road si t s are re¬
splendent with white dogwood
bio soms, golden centered white
Cherokee roses and pale pink
laurel and rhododendron; the
white and yellow tlrw.rs of
honeysuckle vine cover the clay
banks; ferns, anemones, trillums
and wild violets grow deeper in
the woods. In autum n the forest
is beautiful with the warm rich
colors of hickory, beach, sweet
gum, and oak contrasting with
the darker pine foliage. The
chestnut trees once grew luxur¬
iantly here have all been killed
by blight.
Rising Fawn (altitude 793;
population 246) was known as
Hanna in 1870 when the Wills
.
Valley Railroad, now th_' Ala¬
bama Great Southern, was run
through the village. Its name
was then changed to Staunton
and later to Rising Fawn.
Left from Rising Fawn on the
Newsom Highway, a narrow
graveled road are the ruins of
the Rising Fawn Furnace
Erected In 1874 it had a daily
capacity of 50 tons and was oper¬
ated until about 1910.
At this point the Newsom
Highway turns left and ascend¬
ing Lookout Mountain partly
encircles Johnson’s Crook, a
great wooded ampitheater
ed by a horseshce bend of
mountain and bounded on all
sides, except the south, by rugg¬
ed cliffs.
At the top of Lookout Moun¬
tain is a road junction with the
unpaved State Highway 157, a
new .scenic highway running
from Chattanooga, Tenn., over
the mountain to Gadsden, Ala
Left . f this road is Sitton’s Gulch
which is about 800 feet deep, a
half mile wide and four miles
long. In 1938 about 1400 acres
around the Gulch were .set aside
as a Wildlife Refuge and recre¬
ational area. This land was a
gift from citizens of Dade County
aided by Chattanooga friends
who were interested in the
region. The Gulch, little known
even in Georgia, is a majestic
sight because of its imposing
dimensions and its gray sand¬
stone walls that have been w rn
perpendicular by Bear Creek. In
June these walls are crowned
by pink blossoms of rhododen¬
dron. Deep within the gorge a
magnificlant water fall plunges
with a muffled roar in one sheer
drop to the bottom of the gorge
against the mass of grimly com¬
manding gray cliffs. This cata¬
ract, with its clouds of shimmer¬
ing spray, has a delicate and
almost unearthly beauty.

state line at a point 23 miles
northeast of Fort Payne. Ala.
