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. Rob Random. Rev. W. C. McCall, preached the com mencement sermon of the Middle Geor- I gia college, Sunday before last. The ! Jonesboro News speaks thus of the ef fort. Sunday morning the Baptist church was tilled to its utmost capacity by an intelligent and appreciative audi ence, to listen to the Commencement Sermon by Rev. W.C.McCall. He spoke fifty-live minutes in his highly enter | tabling and instructive style. Oftheser l_inon we hear but one opinion viz: that the best Commencement sermon delivered here.

Resolutions were also . adopted adhering to thesenatonial rota- j tion system calling a convention on first Tuesday in August for the purpose of presenting a candidate to the counties of Gordon and Whitfield, and inviting such action as they may deem proper.

' < 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 ; Times. The I ion Valley Railroad. The survey of this road is finished as far as Carter’s Quarter in Gordon I county, the temorary teminus, ami the | part}* of surveyors have returned to 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.

Thomasville Enterprise: A few sweet ■ potatoes have been brought to market, n'hey were chiefly “Georgia Reds,” an early but not very popular variety. Valdosta Times: George Adams, col ored, of Echols county, grew a collard thirteen feet high. This is good for George and high for the collard. Mr. W. H. Middlebrooks, of Jasper county, had threshed up to last Satur day night 9,100 bushels of wheat and oats of this year's crop. The Douglasville Recorder says: “If seasons continue for two or three weeks longer there will be more corn made in Johnson county this year than ever be fore. Mr. Babe Strickland, of Bibb county, died from a tick bite. In pulling the tick off his flesh the head was left* In tlamation ensued, and death in 4 days.

Valdosta Times: Our streets were graced yesterday by a gentleman of our town riding through them on an ox’s back, which was quite a show* to all. But the ox took a notion after a while to get rid of his rider and off Lee went into the ditch. Marietta Journal: A call term of Cobb Superior Court will convene next Monday morning, 10th inst. An election for fence or no fence will be August 9th. Mr. S. A. Anderson, proprietor of the Marietta paper mill, has leased the Willeo cotton factory, and is going to see how it pans out. The purchasers of the Atlanta Cotton Mill Messrs.

This will involve an additional expenditure of $150,000. Elberton New South : Mr. J. L.
