He is now out of poli tics and is devoting his time to the cause of religion. Carterville, besides being the political hub of the Seventh, is also a progressive little city. Near it several important enterprises are in Quite a num- ber of buildings are now being erected there, which, when completed, will constitute the Georgia car works. these people be entertained during | This enterprise will be under hoadway this period?

He is in no great hurry to get there, as he las a week to put in_along the lino, Cotoosa Springs, in the county of that name, is t‘m only Fuiu! of interest. This resort is one of the most popular in the South, and is beautifully lo- cated among the hills only two miles from Cotoosa Station. Ample ar- rangements can be hasl for all who de- sire to visit this resort. There are hfty-two springs of different medical and remedial properties bubbling up inan avea of two acres, Many of them have been analyzed by Prof, W, J. Sand, the state chemist, and pro- nounced by him most healthful and invigorating. The Chicamauga river runs through Cotoosa county, and passes under thetrack of the Wostern & Atlanta railroad about one hun- dred yards from the station, fere, upon theso lands, now un- rgoing fine cultivation, the contend- ing armies of the late war fought one of the most warmly contested battles, Around about the station can still be seen relics of the strife at that point. Tunnel Hill is the next point of in- terest to the eyes of the traveler, T'his tunnel is quite a long one, run- ning under a spur of the Blue Ridge, It is the only tunnel in the state and one of the largest south of the Ohio river. Dalton comes in next for its shave of notoriety, It is\the county seat of Whitfield county, one of the richest and most productive in the state. The natural resources of the county are varied, and the soil so rich that fertilizers are not used. Dalton is thirty-four miles from Chattanooga and one hundred miles from Atlanta. ‘The city was founded in 1846, and was Kknown at that time by the name of Cross Plains. The name was after- wards changed to Dalton in honor of Triston Dalton, an eminent, merchant of Vermont. Several bold streams flow through Whitfield county, furn- ishing fine water power. The East Tennessee line to Knoxville taps the Western & Atlantic rail- road at this point. Tilton, Fort Mountain and Cohuttah Springs are also places of interest in this lo- cality, A tew miles further on a~d we come to Resaca, a small town cighty-four miles from Atlanta, situa- ted just below the confluence of the Connesauga and Coosa vatta rivers, which form the Oosanaula. The In- dian town of New Echota, the capital of the Cherokee Nation, was once lo- cated here, and it was on this place where the chiefs of the Nation signed thagm&mrn by which their country was deeded to the United States, In the mountainsg of the Blue Ridge, which lie to the north and ost of Resaca, immense quartics of marble aro bein, worked, while the fine fields Incntufi around the town are romodeled battle- lields, here and there being soen am- Fle proof that all of | the scars of war have not been wiped gut by the pro- gressive hand of civilization, * Any man who was a member of either Sherman’s or Johnson's army remem- bers the fight at Resaca, and doubtless they would recognize the places where they fought one of the Lottest buttles of the war, Arriving at Calhoun, you will find & section of the country that is not surpassed DLy any in the South for beauty and "genoral productiveness, Only a fow miles from the city is the stock farm of Col. Richard Peters, one of the bost, if 1o vory bost, inthe state or in the South., Col. Peters has about 2,000 acres and raises horwes, thoronghbred cattle, sheep and goats of ‘all varieties, and hogs of various breeds, His place is a model southern stock farm and is well worth u visit of several hours, Kingston is our next point of interest.

Other scenes of interest abound in this locality. One fact that is wor- thy of mention in connection with the above description of how a week can be spent quite nicely and in- structively along the line traversed by the Western & Atlantic railroad and the country adjacent, is this, that good and comfortable hotel accommo- dations can be procured at all the cit- ies mentioned above at reasonable rates. 'The Westorn & Atlantic rail- road is owned by the state of Georgia, and is valued at $10,000,000, Itisa portion of the line known as the Ken- nesaw route, and the name of the route is taken from the mountain of that name, at Marietta, which is one of the most imposing and picturesque in the ‘state, Gronara, that a Three Racers in One Car. Rochesjer (N, Y,) Democrat, Yesterday afternoon, just before the first Atlantic express was due at the Central depot, the shifting engine brought down the private car of Maud 8. A Demecrat and Chronicle re- porter met Capt. Stone as he alighted from the car, and conversed with him as follows: *‘Capt. Stone, how is Maud 8, feel- ing to-day?”’ ““Very well; she is doing nicely, as usual.” “You expect to go direct to Hart- ford, T see.” ‘*Yos; she will trot there tho week after next,” *‘Is the report that Mr. Vanderbilt would like to see her trot in much quicker time true?” 1, Yes, I think he would; he would be pleaked to see her trot in 2:08, and he is helping us all he can to get her down to that notch.” “Is the track at Hartford faster than the Rochester track?” “Yos, I think it is."” ‘‘How much faster?” ““Well it is # sccond faster, The Rochester track is worn out, compara- tively, while the Hartford track is new and "iol«liu g, They are going to plow up the track here this fall, and when they put on manure and build up the soil, it will make the track faster and botter.” “Then you naturally expect to trot her in Hartford in consideradly less time than she did here?” **Yes, under favorable circumstances she can beat 2:103, T think" ‘‘Has Maud 8:7any relatives on the track?” “Yes, aoveral. There is Nutwood, the Californis stallion. He is chest nut-colored, and has o record of 2:18} got at Stoctou, California in 1879, His dam was Miss Russell, the dam of Maud 8., and s sire was Belmont Then there is Noontide, thefgrey mare 2:203, got at Hart- sire of Maud 8., Harod, and her dam was Midnight. " One, you see, is & half brother and the other a half sister. But she has a full sister only a year old in Philudelphia, owned by lbp{n‘rt Steel. Her name is Rosella, and she locks very much like Maud 8., except that ehe is dark gray in color,” A view of the car was next taken. T'he front portion is divided into three | stalls arranged so that the horses ride | backward, ‘The one on the right of the car is ocoupied by Maud 8. The stall is narrow, o0 narrow that the mare cannot lie down, and the sidos | Tands us at | mare, St. Julien and Santa Claus—v given places in Maud's car for the trip St Julien oecupied the losely watched and as carefully after as the little chestnut Then in a side stall facing the other there was Santa Claus, He has not done well since his big trot here on the 4th of July, but he is expected to pick up enough to make a good showing at the great stallion races in New York and Boston that are to be trotted later in the season. The re- mainder of thecar contains the sulkies strapped to the ceiling above the horses, a number of blankets and trunks, hay, oats and wire screens to be put up when the flies try to bother the valuable quartette of trotters. Capt. Stone was asked if he ever insured the mare. He replied, ‘‘No; her owner is about as good a conipany as we could find, and besides it would cost as much to insure her as she makes for us in the long run.” Just as the reporter alighted from the car he met I\K,. Hickok, who had come to look after the comfort of his horses. “‘Are your horses gping direct to Hartford/" asked the news hunter. “‘Yes; I shall not stop them at Utica.” “‘Will 8t. Julien trot at Hartford?” “No, He has not recovered from his Detroit cold‘ and subsequent influ- enza, sufficiently to be started iR a hard race. I shall keep him at work and try to get him back to himself before f'utart him against time.” ‘‘How about Santa Claus, Will you start him in the stallion race in New York?” “That I cannot tell yet. It will depend on how he behaves himself. He could not trot any last kriday, but he was weak then, owing to the hot weather of the last fortnight. The heat affects a stallion more than it does a gelding or a mare, and in his case, it took the desire to trot ou of him, That is the reason I drew him from the race last Friday. He could have made those last heats in better time than they were trotted, but I would not run the risk of driving him hard on such a hot day.” In spite of the fact that theso valu- able horses are so carefully attended they do not live very high. Maud S, gets twelve quarts of oats a day, and as much hay as she likes to eat. Water is kept in her stall all the time except, of course, when she is warm from exercise. Her driver has gone home to Cincinnati for a short visit, but he will be on hand at Hartford in time to give her plenty of exercise before she trots there, The idea of having the horse ride backward strikes many people as curious. It is done 80 that they will not catch cold, and for the same reason that an expe- rienced traveller or railroad man always turns his toes away from the locomotive and rides backward when he sleeps upon the cars. | looked Jim Wilson’s Campaign. Sloux City Journal, A feature of the Wilson senatorial campaign is to claim republican candi- dates for the legislature for Wilson as fast as they are nominated. manifestation of cheek, under which it is proposed to convince everybody that it is entirely useless to oppose the desires of the Wilson people, is liable to subject the Fairfield case to some disadvantages. Many of the claims will not keep until next Janu- ary. This is illustrated in a private letter from a republican nominee for he state senate to the editor of the Des Moines Register. He writes: Isee 1 am put down in the Wilson count as being a pronounced Wilson man for the United States senate. This is news to me. Nobody has authority for saying so. 1 am not for Wilson, and have no preference, and shall not have till the legislature meets, and when 1 shall be able to know all are candidates. 1T hada proference now, something might 80 chango things that the same gentle- man might obviously be not the best man next winter. I know of no reasons why I should be making a choice now from those who are candi- dates at present, : Later on better men than any of those now in the field may be candidates, and I should not want an early pledge to operate against my being able to vote for one of them. Who knows what may happen in the four or five months to intervene! For instance, if the presi- dent should die, and the cabinet be reorganized, I should feel very much like voting for Gov. Kirkwood for tho senate, and T also believe that the sentiment of the state, in such an oveut, would be overwhelmingly in his favor. 1 hope to see a majority of the republican members of the next legislature unpledged on the senator- ship and ready to vote as the best in- tevests of the state, and tho future developments of time, may then indicate. ““There is a great deal of good sense in the gentleman's opinion,” as it looks to the Register, and this opinion as it strikes The Journal, will meet with ready indorsement among Towa republicans generally. Tt will be al- together wise for candidates to first protect thémselves, J The Sorghum Industry, Onawa Gazotte.

Homo After Ninotoen Years, | Plainfield (N, Y ) Cor, N. Y. Sus, | Mr. Zebbins Compton and his wife, of this City, at noon to-day were| astonished by the entrance into the | house of a person whom they quickly | recognized as Sylvanus, their son, who was last heard of by them nine- teen years ago, and whom they had believed to be dead. Slyvanus, be- fore the war, was a druggist’s clerk in this city. At the breaking out of the war he joined the navy, being about 21 years of age. He became attached to the surgical staff, and in June, 1862, his arents learned, through aletter from Kim, that he was on board a ship taking some sick soldiers to New Orleans. This was the last heard of him directly; but they fonud that he had landed safely in New Orleans and had been seen in that city. No further trace of him could be found, and after a few years had passed it was concluded that he was dead, and his family gave up hope of secing him again, The returned son tells a remarkable story of his wanderings, He says that while in New Orleans, after arriving there on the ship from which he wrote his last letter home, he fell in with a pleasant sort of man, who in- vited him to join in drinking a bottle of wine. After this he remembered nothing until he was aroused from the stupor caused by the drugged wine, and found himself on board a slaver at sea. He escaped from the ship at one port, and told his story to the Ameri- can consul, but found that that official had already been warned to arrest him as a deserter and send him back. The consul advised him to take the ship again and escape at some port where there was no official to arrest him. He next left the ship at an African port, and. made his way to Cape Colony. Here he settled down for a time, married and had one child. He is supposed to have sent no word home on accouut of fear of being ar- restedas a deserter and taken back to America for trial. From Cape Town he drifted to India and other parts of Asia, and finally to Australia. From Australia he finally returned to New York, and came from there directly to Plainfield in search of his parents. His father and mother were com- pletely overcome by his sudden and unexpected return. The mother fainted with joy. Compton has a number of relatives residing here, and all those who knew him before he disappeared recognized him -now. When he went away he left two brothers and two sister, but one sister hus since died. The two brothers and remaining sister are living in different parts of the country. Those who knew Compton twenty years ago speak @ him as a young man ot excel- lent reputation, quiet andy much {liked. He says he wrote three letters JCOBS ] 5 RUEUMATISM, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, Backache, Soreness of the Chast, Gout, Quinsy, Sore Throat, Swel/- ings and Sprains, Burns and =, Scalds, General Bodily Pains, Yooth, Ear and Headache, Frosted Foot and Ears, and all other Pains and Aches. ;I:uh pain can bave cheap and positive srool ite claims, ' Directions in Eleven Languages (i $OLDBY ALL DRUGGISTS ANDDEALERR IN MEDIOINE, A.VOGELER & CO,, Baltimor e i Proof Positive We have the most positivé and « ing proof that THOMAY" Eikcriie ¢ most effectual specific for bodily cases of rheumatisus and neuraly | instaut relief. ain, In it gives dlw Don't Take Any Chauoces on Lifel When Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure will rcgulate and keep you healthy at all times.
