Atlanta, Sept. 9.—A question
has been sprung here which may
result in Chattanooga, which has
loag been known as one of the
leading cities of Tennessee, be
coming a Georgia town. Doubt
has beeu thrown upon the ac
curacy of the survey of the bound
ary line between this State and
Tennessee, aud if the theory of
eminent legal authorities here is
confirmed it may be found that
Chattanooga is on Georgia’s soil.
This view is shared by Col. W.
A. Wimbish, special commissioner
of the State for the Western and
Atlantic railroad, who, has looked
into the question in his official
capacity aud to-day ei

A Pleasant Occasion.
The hot supper aud ice cH
festival at the residence of
R. P. Byrd last uight was a
nouuced success. Perhaps
people were present, and there
was ready sale for supper, ice
cream aud lemonade. Several of
our towu people went out, among
them beiug the writer of these
lines.
The time passed delightfully
away. Everybody present thor
oughly enjoyed the occasion, and
much to the satisfaction of thbae
immediately concerned a neat
sum of money was realized for the
Timmonsville circuit parsonage.
An Immense Gun.
Numbers of our people have
visited the A. C. L. freight yard
to-day to see the massive gun car
riage. It came from Erie, Pa.,
and is being taken to Fort Moul
trie. Notbiug bat the carriage is
here, and to transport it four gon
dola cars are necessary. There are
on board several immense pieces
of casting, and it takes one gon
dola to carry the base alone.
It was taken to Charleston on
an afternoon freight.
