Tho following clipping from tho Chattanooga Timos bas been received by Mayor Thompson from Chas. W. Perry, a former Walhalla boy: Announcement is mado that Contrac tor W. J. Olivor will this v. ok commence | work on tho "'atmn Oap Southern rail way extonsU n Tho line will bo an ex tension of tlc .resent. K. and A. railroad to Memphis and will cross the Little Tennessee river at the site of the power ?dam to bo constructed by the Kooxvillo (Cower Company and will oonnoot with tho Murphy, N. C., branch of tho South ern at Bushnell, and will give Knoxville a direct Hue to Charleston and tho coast. Mr. Oliver is said to bo sbiftiug laborers "hat have boen employed on tbe Louis ville and Nash ville between Knoxville ^nd Wotmoro to the now work, while agents have boen searching the mountain districts of Tennessee and Kentucky for othor laborers, who will be sent to Bush nell, whoro work is to oommence. In Mr. Porry's lot ter to Mayor Thomp son he Bays: "This Bounds moro like business than anything I have soon yet. Bushnell is almost in a direct line from Knoxville to Walhalla, and if they are ftoing to build to Bushnell I can't see tiow thoy can avoid Walhalla. . * . I 'don't think they would build to Bush nell unless they meant to put it through to the coast, and the Rabun (lap route is I'll K. route, from what 1 can learn." We aro still hopeful, and if true that "all things como to those who wait," wo in for another railroad. A NEW HOTEL WANTED. That Walhalla noods a now and modern botol building it is noodloss to try to provo by argument. Coo has but to listen for a very short while to tho comments of the traveling mau or tho mountain tourist to realize that every day the town ?pf Walhalla is being underestimated, and not only that, hut actually injured, by reason of tho old building that has served its goneratiou ami for years has been out of dato. Not long since a gentleman came to Walhalla Inquiring aa to tho noods of the town, aud at ovory turn ho was told that Che greatest nooil is a modern botol build ing. This gentleman is in a position to ronder material assistance in securing improvements. Ile looks after the in vestment department of a largo corpora tion, seeking opportunities to start now enterprises that will attract men who ha?;? money to invest. "Why," ho soul to us, "hotels are tho easiest things I have ever tried to build, and 1 have built lots of thom. If your local men will raise half the capital I'll got tho balance, hut we want to know that tho people of a community aro; interested enough and confident onough to do something." Ho also reniai ked that from bis observations ?io know of no hotter point than hero at Walhalla for a modorn~hotol. Aside from tho commercial patronado, we have -every advantage in securing tourists, both winter and suromor. So long as we have nu antiquated hotel building wo may expect to bo rated about t.wenty-livo years behind tho timos. Peo ple will talk, and you can't stop thom. Give thom somethiug good to talk about and you will hear praise. Tho reverse is 'ruo when there is something lacking and seriously lacking-in the most publio i.. ?? of a town. The traveling salesmen 101188 tho hotel building at Walhalla, and he best tho citizens of the town can do i s to play shut-mouth when ibo question of a hotel with modern conveniences is nought up. Wc ow?) it to the tt-wn that she should have a now and modern hotel md every citizen should fool an interest tn?! lend a hand in noon ring it. Think of it-over (140,000 standing on . leposit in the banks ot tho t??wn, and we .ix? " 'OD poor" to hui hi a hotel that would roprosont the town as it is, not as ' was twenty years ag?). Think of it-a town where every ten tntable house is occupied and others vho want homos can't got thom. And .--t we have a hotel building about as antiquated as any building in the place, l.'. nik of it-property advancing in price ie iry day, the town growing and improv ag, tho population increasing, with enty Of work for ovoryhotly who will ?vork, and yet we Bland tn our own light, UKld Jet those who otherwise would go i a-, jund advertise our g??o?l points, rep? csent tho whole town as out of date bo ?use of an Antiquated hotel building. Wo can oxpoct nothing else B?> long as . binga stand as they are. Tho hist need . Walhalla is a modern building for tho .entertainment of lier guests. We owe it 0 the town and we own it to ourselves ito BOC that a modern lintel is built. Within a block of tito present Bite there are four pieces of proporty com "prising a town square, ans wo are told that at loast throo of tho ownors aro ?.cady to dispose of their proporty at a reasonable price for the purpose of se curing a modern hotel building thereon. This would give a full front of one sq'iare-an abundance even if the fourth property-owuer did uot care to sell, and we have no information that such is the ease. Certaiuly it ia time to movo forward in this matter, lt has been delayed too long already. Wu suggest that a meet iug of business men be held to formulate plans, look up the host and most valuable site and build a modern hotel. There is absolutely no question that such an en terprise can bo made to pay a reason.'ble dividend, aud at the same time pay handsomely in the way of bonoflta to the town. Wo suggest that Mayor Thompson aud one or two of tho Aldermen, who aro business men throwu in daily contact with our citizens, arrange for a business men's mooting-uot to try to build a ho tel, not to talk and flounder around, but toOOTOWOKK AND BUILD IT. It has been TALKED iu a desultory, unor ganized way long enough. HERE, THERE ANO YONDER. The Southern Cotton Association re duced the ootton acreage all right, and now the good Lord is putting on tho ] finishing touohes. V Just because President Roosevelt has taken Koo? in the Cabinet it does not fol low that thoro is a continuous session and that tho President stays iu the cabi net chamber all the time. V Tho Greer Observer, Vol. 1, No. 1, is tho latest addition to our exc'iange list. Tho Observer made its appearance July I Otb, and is startiug out woll, with a good j advertising patronage. Our boat wishes ! V "Know thysolf"-that is an old adage, tho wisdom of which is universally rec ognized, bot few have been able to carry it out in praof'ce. Tho few who have done so havo very humble opinions of themselves. V Thoro is ono redeeming feature about this weather-it hasn't rained bull frogs or chiggoes yot. However, if the Sun day school picnic crowd last week didn't bring them all back with thora, tho woods is still full of the latter. ! One of tho old patriarchs once took occasion to remark, "I said in my haste all mon aro liars." It would make in teresting reading if ho livod to-day and could tri vc us an opinion of tho present generation whon ho wasn't in such a douce of a hurry. v I Yes, wo mcaul just what we said last wook in regard to cows hoing tied on sido .street.-, where they can stand and graze on tho .sidewalks. They aro as out of placo thoro as tho proverbial pig in tho parlor, and ought to bo taken up and tho owners fined for ovory offense. %* Ooorgo Vanderbilt entertained ?100 delegates at tho Virginia-North Carolina Press Association last wook. Thc entire estate was thrown open to thom. Mr. Vanderbilt is wiso. Ho may havo been entertaining angels unawares. Please noto, ho wovor, that wo said MAY HAVE BEEN. V Thoro aro all sorts of excuses put up hy people to get out of working tho roads. Ono of tho most peculiar cases of this kind wo havo hoard of was that of a man who got a certificate from a physician that he was far-sighted. Wo fail to soo, however, why this would dis qualify a man for working tho roads, un less tho work would look so far away that ho would get tired hoforo ho could got to it. V The mysterious disappearance of $2,200 from tho pockets of Inspector C. L. Brown, of tho Stato Disponsary, has not yet hoon solved. The fact that ho Wont t() Charleston to cheek up a "short" dispenser, returned to Columbia "short'* the funds ho had collected, and that his bond had boon allowed to lapso, makes it appear that lhere is, to USO a pot phrase of Senator Tillman's, "something in very rotten in Denmark." It's mighty bard to dabble, in whiskey and koop clean. CHOLERA INFANTUM. Child not Expected to Live from One Hour lo Another, but Cured by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoa Remedy. Ruth, tho little daughter of E. N. Dowey, of Agnew vi Ile, Va., was seri ously ill of cholera infantum hist sum mnr. "Wo gavo her up and did not ox poet her to live from ono hour to ano ther," ho says. "1 happened to think of Chamberlain's Collo, (Miolora and Diar rhea Kcmody and got a bottle of it from tho store. In live hours I saw achango for tho bettor. Wo kept on giving it and before she had taken tho half of ono small bottle she was woll." This rem edy is for salo by J. W. Boll, Walhalla; W. J.
