CHATTANOOGA, IN GEORGIA OR
TENNESSEE?
Mr. W. A. Wimbish, special attorney
for the W. & A. Railroad, raises the
question as to whether Chattanooga is
in Georgia or Tennessee.
In his statement, as ooutained in the
Atlanta Journal, he all odes to the sur
vey made jointly by the agents of Geor
gia and Tennessee in the year 1816 cit
ing to the stone marking the 85th paral
lel of latitude and engraved thereupon,
June 1st 1818, Var 6, 8-1 east and on
south side Geo. 85, north, J. Camak.
This is all correct so for as it goes, as
Dr. Janies Camak of this city was ap
pointed mathematician on that survey
by Governor Rabnn. But Dr. Camak
was subsequently and in 1828 appointed
commissioner to re-survey this line, and
throngh the courtesy of his grand-son,
Mr. James Cantak of this city. Commis
sioner Canwk's full report is before ns.
In this report every observation, meas
urement, variation, etc., is given in de
tail. From this most valuable report
we make the following extracts:
“In the spring of 1818 the states of
Georgia and Tennessee, by their com
missioners, ascertained and marked their
dividing line. I received, on that occa
sion, the appointment of mathematician
from Governor Rulmu. The 85th paral
lel of north latitude constitutes that
Ismndary, and there was nothing more
to do than to trace and mark that paral
lel on the surface of the earth. For the
purpose of ascertaining the point of com
mencement, astronomical observations
were made on the top of the Raccoon
mountain, near Nickajack. The result
of the observations made on that occa
sion differs from that of those contained
in this report.
The observatory in 1828 was, by care
ful management, ascertained to
be due north of the 35th parallel
of north latitude as ascertained
1814, 47-4 chains—30.87 seconds.
The latitude of the observatory, then,
by the observation of 1818 is 35 deg.
10.87 seconds.
The latitude of the observatory by
the observations of 1886 is, 86 deg. 6-18
seconds. Diffecrnce of the results 24.69
seconds which is equivalent to 37 90-100
clinins.]
The boundary between the States of
Georgia and Tennessee has been, by
actual measurement, ascertained to he
109 miles in length. Admitting that
the observations and results of 182(1 are
correct, aud of consequence, that this
boundary has been fixed 87 90-100 chains
too far South, the loss sustained by
Georgia will he equal to 51 51-80 square
miles, or 83,048 8-10 acres. This is to he
understood us relating to the boundary
between Georgia and Tennessee."
Dr. Camak in commenting upon the
surveys aud reports of 1818 and 1826,
after a most thorough review gives the
preference to the survey and report of
1826.
This report of Commissioner Cumak is
a most valuable document, both as re
gards the boundary lines between the
State of Georgia and the States of Ten
nessee, North Carolina, and Alabama,
as he was employed on all of t-hPm aud
his report on each are contained in this
document.
It is all written out in the Doctor’s
own hand writing and is wonderfully
well preserved.
If this report can l>e relied upon, and
there can lie no reasonable doubt as to
its accuracy, then it would seem that
Georgia may yet claim Chattauooga as
one of her progressive cities. This will
he an interesting matter for our legisla
ture to inquire into, aud it should he
done.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
This is a grand old city, and the peo
ple in all this Northeast Georgia coun
try have the kindest feelings and recol
lections of this city which was once
their chief market.
It is now being proposed to celebrate
its 100th anniversary which is on the
last day of January 1898. This is a
wise and proper movement, and we
greatly hope that Augusta' will have a
big time. Her history is foil of interest
not only to her immediate citizens, but
to many throughout Georgia, who in the
days gone by had many pleasant busi
ness and social relations with her. Let
the celebration he had, and let it he
inaugurated by the unanimous and
overwhelming election of Hon. Pat
Walsh as mayor, which uo doubt he will
obtain.
Our word for it Pat Walsh will make
an ideal mayor, and he will make this
and all other movements in the interest
of Augusta an unquestionable success.

Japanese Kubii.Ii.
The Rev. Masa/.ao Kugaien brought
me a preseutof a tin of native preserved
apricots put up at Nagano, bearing the
inscription, “This apricots is very
sweetest.” Another tin—I think it was
a sort of Japanese “Liebig”—was still
more remarkably inscribed: "All the
medicines of onr company used to seli
are not only manufactured of the pnre
and good material*, bnt also, unless the
article are inspected by the superin
tendent, they not sealed. It is true that
their qnality is best If there was sns-
pection about it, trust on official exami
nation. If even in the slightest neglect
the result is not good, our company
should be responsible for it Beware
the trademark, sealing wax and wrap
per of our company. ” In this connec
tion I may remark on the curious signs
in English (?) composed in cheerful in
dependence of outside help. I have seen
the equivalent of the English “man
gling done here” rendered “the ma
chine for smoothing the wrinkles in the
trousers” and “ Washman, ladies only,”
“Clothing of woman tailor, ladies fur
nished in upper story,” “Instracted by
the French horse leech,” (this adorned
the door of a veterinary snrgeon and re
ferred to the tuition under which the
gentleman was trained). — From
“Mountaineering in the Japanese
Alps,” by Rev Walter Weston.

CURED
Fop twenty years I have 1x**n afflicted with
incontinoence of urine, so much no, that I have
for thepaat ten years worn a urinal night and
day. The disagreeable associations, to say
not hias of the accompanying pains in the back,
difflcM aad painful micluration and general
weakness, rendered my life miserable. I have
been taking Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Pills but three
days, and yesterday. March 15.1887, is the first
time in ten years that the urinal has been cast
aside. I did not wear it the whole day; the
pain was gone, urination was natural, anal felt
so good that I feel your medicine to me was
worth its weight in gold. Giro. W. Ciiari.M'.

JACK THE RIPPER.
Is there a “Jack The Ripper” in onr
city? The outrageous assaults made
upon some of the ladies of onr city for
the past two nights, while not of a
violent character, yet are sufficient to
arouse and excite the highest indignation
and resentment ou the part of our
citizens.
Let this villain be captured, be he sane
or insane. No such characters hould be
allowed to go at large in onr community.
Let onr police force be more vigilant
than ever aud never rest until this
creature is safely lodged in the City jail,
and then' let him be dealt with as his
crime under the law, will justify. It Is
indeed an awful condition of affairs in
onr city, that onr female citizens who
may be a little delayed in returning to
their homes in the evening, cannot do
so without the danger'of being assaulted
by some such miserable outlaw and
scoundrel.
If the police force of our city is not
sufficient, let a vigilance committee be
formed and let the scoundrel be caught,
and without delay.
