The valley to the North is di vided by two msip ridges running parallel to aud southwardly with the Alabama Great Southern Rail road. The ridge on the East of the railroad ceases within two mile* of Trentou, and the country ia comparatively level and un broken from the railroad to Look • out creek, which at this point ie only one-half mile distant from the railroad. All other pointß on the railroad to the North of Tren tou being from one to two miles distant, with high intervening judges only broken by narrow pla ces where small creeks running eastward have broken through to Lookout creek the principal stream of the valley. The belt of country, one and one half miles in extent, lying imme diately to the North of Trenton, fnrnishes natural sites for furnaoes and all manufacturing enterprises, being easily accessible to the rail road on a fine stream of water, and owing to the level nature of the land, requiring little or no grad ing for spur tracks from the Alar bama Great Southern railroad to the creek frontage. In no other portion of this val ley, and it may be said in the en tire South, has nature contributed so many advantages for iron mak ing as at this little town of Tren ton ; and it is easy to understand why this place was selected for a town site by far-seeing and shrewd capitalists. With nearly three miles of creek frontage and the great inducement of cheap coal, iron and other raw materials, the question is easily answered why this Trenton village is attracting so much attention and capital. The quiet of this corner of the grand old State of Geogia is for ever broken. COAL. The main reliance for coal is in the Sand mountain, where numer ous veins of a good coking quality exist. The only break in Lookout mpqntain exists here. It is known as Sitton’s Gulf. Gulf creek has cut a channel, or narrow canyon, which runs nearly due north, cat ting the mountain at an acute angle, forming a natural passage for a railroad to Round mountain, three miles distant. This moun tain is full of an excellent article of coking and grate coal. A rail road could be built from Trenton along this creek to Round moun tain, and as coal measures cropoue on each 6ide of the gulch, the means of opening coal mines would be afforded on both sides the entire length of the ereek The mouth of the gulch is but a *hort distance from the court houes.

At Birmingh in they have better natural openings for railroads, so that it has a b tter distributing point. With a railroad to the river that sdvantagc would be overcome. *‘But as a site tor a city Trenton is vastly superior. Bir mingham lacks drainage* Trenton has it. Trenton has abund ance ot w ater for furnaces aud all kinds of nmimfncturii g e - tablishments. It has the advantage in the matter of pure an<l wholesome water, and there is no rea>on why Trentou may not become as prosperous as Birmingham, when it has *s many outlets to market.” TO ADA EBTISERS.
