wind.
All people have their troubles.
The rich have the gout and the
poor have the seven year itch and
sometimes a >ew lice,

Stone mountain, near Atlanta,
Mhich looks to be about as high as
the Pink mountain, has a large
carving of General Lee. I he
federal government now owns (he
most of Yonah mountain and some
of these times they will in all prob¬
ability carve the faces of Nucoo
chee and Sautee, the Indians who
have made the mount nationall)
known. Then all the passing
generations will point with to the
stony faces that adorn the land¬
scape. The story of their escape
and fatal leap- from Lover’s Leap
has been told and retold in stor\
and song Some used to think
they would in the course of time
tear down the mount to build roads
but now it will be jealously guard¬
ed through the couise of time.
