The battle of the ballot has been lost aud won in Floyd coun ty. and after one of the most heat ed campaigns and the biggest pri mary the county has ever known, General Evans wins it with less than 200 votes, All day long the fight raged, and from the first it was evident that the well organized Evans Club was going to carry the Rome box, but Mr. Atkinsons friends were tireless and fought on, hope ing to reduce the Evans majority in the city, so that a good country j vote would overcome it.

BRIDGE; Writes Another, this time the City of Texarkana GRAPHICALLY TOUCHED UP. Memphis and the Country Surround ing is Pictured and the Picturesque Scenery around Chattanooga, A Most Delightful Trip. Dear Hustler: In my last letter I promised to tell you some more facts about places and things before my re turn to Georgia. I stayed in Texarkana 4 days— the same number of days I stayed iu Dallas, and of comae had a good opportunity of seeing the city and its surroundings. Texarkana claims a population of 12,000 oi 15,000. One peculiarity of the city is the fact that the depot (which is in the South end of the city) is built ou the line of Texas and Arkansas; it is a fine brick struct ure. with larger sitting rooms than any depot I have seen since I left home. It is called the “Jay Gould Depot,’* aud is said to be the best one iu the State. From the depot there es running directly North, a street car line for one mile and a quarter, (horse car) the center of which is on the line between the States. Less than one half mile from the depot is the post office bunding, constructed so that the' ■the center is ou Ihe line between! the States. The building is made ,■ o! pressed brick, and is used for ‘ Post Office and United States ourt. The people here apeak of the divisions of the ««ty as the East and West Sides. The mam business of the town is th«t of Lumber trade. The Sulphur «ve r on the South, snakes most a half Circle around Che town, and it and the Red river on the East, with their uumqmkdqs boyous. furarish a great deal-of coast timber, out by 14020 largettaw mills ; this togeth er with the fact that Che city is a B. B. center, makes the lumber busineeß vwy profitable to the (own. Very little owtton is market ed here, corn, oatee and thegrassen are raised iu large quantities m the ciMiutry around, the city. The church facilities here are jjot as good as they are in Rome. There are no wed pavetl streets in the city; indeed these are very lew towns m Texas except the larger cities, that pay any attention to their streets and aide walks. This strictly true of the towns in the sandy country . I understand here they have a good Public School byeteui. About one mile aud a han from the city, ou the Northwest, they have splendid Fair grounds and race tracks; adjoining these ground is a splendid .park, in the center of which is a large spring of crystal water, the only one 1 saw on the West side of the Mis sissippi. At this spring with a tew Georgians of the city, we speu t a most a delightful day during our stay, in the enjoyment of a typi cal Texas picnic. The only thing to mar the happiness of the occa sion. was a superabundance of Texas ticks, the biggest I ever saw; in my axperience with them my memory was refreshed with one of iry child-hood’s riddles; “Round a? a riddle, brown as a fiddle, aud a big white spot in the middle.” I was told by a number of my friends who live in the black waxey lauds that the red bugs or “chiggers” are almost uu b-arable at times and are decided ly the greatest objection to that part of the couuiry. The black gnats are twice as large in Texas as they are in Georgia - I did not see any of the famous ‘‘mule eared rabbits,” turrancelers or alegators; but as I sat on a seat iu the Fair GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE.] . grounds of Texarkana I counted 4 chameleons at one sight and step, ped upon aud killed several scor pions and lizzards as I walked around in the park. So I came ti the conclusion that there are at many reptiles in some parts of Texas as there are about New Or leans and many other “snakey places” in South. I t cticed one thing in Texas, which reminded me of the old ad tdge “cut your garment according to the cloth.’’ In the pariara coun try they make the rooms of their houses very small, and in the tini bered country very large. Lumbe* in Dallas is twice as much per thousand as it is in Texarkana, Ou leaving Texarkana towards Memphis, we enter a most magnif iceut farming country which con- ! tinues through the Red River sec tion. Then we have about on« hundred miles ot poor pine woodr country which lasts until you cross the Washitaw river. The on ly hill for 150 miles between Tex arkana and Arkadelphia is on th* West bank of the Washitaw river, the cite of the town. This town has some splendid modern build ings; from this place to Litth Rock is a very desirable country. Little Rock’B a city oi 40,000 inhabitants, the Arkansas river at Little Rock, is wider than the Red River where you cross ii ou the Pacific. From litth. Kock Knob is a fine farm ing country ; but from Bald Kuob . to Memphis, a distance of 91 miles , is the most undesirable country 1 aver saw, it seems that nothing but mud turtles and aligatorscan .' live in ct. Memphis is a grand city, I . think <t is doing more business t just now. than any city iu tbJ c South. The most magnificien* . chii< I have seen on my whole crip, is the great steel R. R. brid/ge across the Mississippi River ai. t Memphis, Before I saw it. I felt thai I had rather cross the old. wa,y <Mt a boat; but just as Soon as I saw it, all my fearfl w>-re diesi pa , pated, aud I was as comfort.' ble crossing on it as if running on a ! solid roadbed. It is without doubt the grandest piece of machimsm , I»ffver saw, I was reminded o'what one cf my over xealous boyhood companions once said it -i donate. When diecuseing the works of na ture and the art ot man, iu one of his flights of eloquence he said: “Mr. President, ladies and gentle men, I tell you the works of od are very great, but the works or t&xn are a thousand femes great - er,'’ [t is a very fine country all the way from Meniphj* to Chattanoo- 1 gn~ and no one has passed from Stevenson to Chattanooga will ev er forget the beautiful scenes of nature along the whole line. I am now in Chattanooga, the wonder-1 fui, picturesque and progressive city of Tennessee —will start for home this morning. I started from home with the hopes of having a most delightful trip. I have had tu tne fullest of my expectations. Not a single accident has occurred in the 2,000 miles travel, and no disappointment to mar the plea - are of the delightful tr p W. M. B idges.
