pocket. I lit in the
town with fifteen cents, and felt so mel
ancholy at seeing so many store dressed
folks, that I spent my money for a glass >
of beer and a cheap cigar to stimulate
my courage. But, dear reader, you’ll
never know the sad yearning that a
young heart is capable of, without put
ting yourself in my place. .Four
yeats in the gloom of patriotic seclusion, !
and this my first day out into the merry i
world —dead broke, and a combined cir- I
cus and menagarie tantalizing tny pover
ty. It was here that Linet the smile of
Fischer’s face, and found him healed
for the occasion. I luxuriated in the I
riot of momentary happiness. At this 1
time W. F. Fischer was doing journey
work in a small repair shop. Dalton, 1
his old home, at the close of war, in its
desolation, had no use for jewelers. A
year after he was running a shop of his i
own, and with Louis, as an addition to |
the business, both steady, reliable, and I
industrious, their business grew rapidly,
and to-day they have the finest display
of goods, in their line, of any house in
this section, not excepting Atlanta. It
is t’ne emporium of the jewelry, silver
ware and watch trade for a large section }
of country. Besides they have accumu
lated some of the best real estate in Chat
tanooga. With all this grand title of suc
cess before these boys—for their busi- i
ness increases each year—their losses |
by the Alabama & Chattanooga railroad
were some $15,000. As they deserve,
i the Fischer Bros., stand high, socially
i and commercially, in Chattanooga, for
; it is just such men that have given the I
; place its prominence. Both are natives |
| of Dalton, and representatives of what !
I all Dalton boys should approach.
: Though, with all their energy, I doubt i
if they displayed more than did some
. Dalton boys last Sunday. It is said, and i
I I take no consolation in repeating it, that
i the average Dalton boy believes fun with
i out red liquor to be an up hill business.
At any rate they carried a bottle out to
I the mineral springs with them, and were
1 cooling some of the fire out of it by sub
' merging it in Bob Cox’s spring, when
! the bottle struck a stone, shivering its
bottom and empting the contents into
the basin of the spring. Aller the first
pang of regret had lost itself in a mo
mentary stupor, they dammed the
branch, and tried to drink the spring
dry in order to save the spillings. Some
of them drank so much water as to ma
terially affect their health.
Up at little Cleveland, now, where
a fellow always has a doctor shop be
tween him and the drinks, the boys have
their fun in the water, and the village, I
hear, is now all in a quivering giggle of
gossip over an occurrence of female
freaking which has just been too, too ut
ter for its sensitive modesty. In the su
burbs of Cleveland is a pond, clear, deep
and beautiful, with moss covered banks,
where mermaids might delight to revel
; in frisky splashing, and shivering sweet-
I ness. This is the bon ton bathing surf,
I and the imagination of the average
I
Cleveland man is suficiently developed,
to give it the romance of a Long Branch
dive. A few evenings since—one of
those sweltering hot ones—several girls
1 and boys splashed its foaming billows
together. Now, don’t shock —they were
masked in cosy suits of flashing flannel.
Not even the nimble minnows that glide
midst the sands and pebbles could
aught but innocent pleasure brook; but
the old goggle-eyed whisperer of evil has
I got thetown all agog. I can’t appreciate
i their moral zeal. What was wrong
I about it? Did you ever hear evil report
lof the fair mymphs of the sea? It is
1 not in the carousing bath, that lips to
; lips ignite and sparkle in flames of
f passion; but in the—well, most any
' where else.

Sermon by Rev. W.C.McCall. He spoke

The people of Red clay, as we under- i 1
stand, hope and believed that Dalton I '
will be switched off on the side track
' and that the hitherto contemplated i
i “Gainesville and Dalton Short-Cut’’ will <
tap the East Tennessee and Georgia ■
railroad at the terminus of the Ooltewah
and Red Clay branch so as to make one
continuous line from Cincinnati through
byway of Gainesville to Augusta. The
! map indicates a deal of practicability, ;
’ and would give Murray county more ad
! vantages than the line concerning which '
! some action has already been taken.
However, the people here will urge no
objection to either route, but will aid
the one offering to be the most practica
ble and feasible, ami urge ami insist that j
other counties more financially favored |
than w’e, should act while inducing op- I
I portunities are offered. —Spring Place ;

The survey of this road is finished

I county, the temorary teminus, ami the

make up their estimates. The distance
from the starting point of the survey to
the present terminus is, in round num
bers, 33 miles. Should this road be
i built, and there is no reason to doubt it,
i one of the finest sections of country on
I the continent will pour her almest inex
| haustible and valuable resources into
I our city. These consist of hard timber,
I iron, manganese and various other ores.
I But if none of these riches were there,

I be not only a paying investment but the
i one needed factor in the development of
i the finest agricultural country taken
altogether in America. —Cartersville
