One of The Observer scribes was
permitted to look in upon the city of
Atlanta, in enterprise and commercial
activity one of the leading cities of the
(South, and destined to still farther and
more rapid improvement and enlarge
ment. It was during the5 hottest days
they have had there, and in what, is
known as the dull season elsewhere
but it was neither especially hot nor at
all dull. By some configuration of the
surrounding countrv. Atlanta is rare
ly without cool breezes, particularly
during the night; by the activity and
everlasting stir ot its people, there is
or never appears to be anything like
dullness. A visitor will naturally in
quire what causes have been combined
to bring about such prosperity and such
rapid growth, for Atlanta was compara
tively a small place at the close of the
war.'IIe Hl fe old tlity in the first
place her citizens were liberal-minded
and far-sighted -enough to invite and
warmly receive capitalists and manu
facturers from the North, and to enter
themselves into all enterprises which
tend; to the "general improvement of
the place. Thus one after another en-s
terprise was started, and an,, intelligent
and wealthy population from the iNertti
began to gather within the gates of the
city, xq uus was soon, added sojne-
l!ed hot some more.
reopie yesterday were talking prin
cipally about Arctic seas, Polar bears,
mountain caves and things.
An unmailable letter addressed to
Alick Johnson, Charlotte, remains in
the Wilmington postoffice.
Yesterday was the hottest, according
to the sicnal station reports, ine mean
temperature was over S8.
Trips to Bellemont Spring have been

It is one spot around Charlotte to which
the Wat does not penetrate. ..
A festive chicken-embezzler visited
the coop of a citizen of "Stumptown,"
night before last, and relieved it of sev

There was no session of the mayor's
court yesterday morning, and no oc
currence yesterday which was caleulat-
ed to disturb a policeman's serenity.
It is stated by persons who know that
there is a young lady of the first society
in this city who can stand flat-footed
.and turn a somersault.
The name of the imposter who has
"been advertised by the people of Olin,

Mr. S. Landecker has moved his stock
of goods into the store occupied by Capt

The scholars of Calvary Sunday
ischool have a picnic to-day at the Seven

the train this morning at 7 o'clock and
return at 5 this afternoon.
The excursion to the head of the
Western Xorth Carolina Railroad, ad
vertised for the 15th inst. has been post
poned to the 22d because of another ex
cursion on that road to take place about
the time agreed upon for the Charlotte
excursion. '
The police have murdered only four
dogs thus far. They report that the
owners of collarless canines have learn
ed to keep them tied at night, when the
slaughtering must take place, and allow
them to run at large in the day time.
Last year a reward of 25 cepts- was
awarded for each dog captured or kill
ed, but this year the whole of the slay
Jug must be done by the policemen.
Accommodations for Excursionists
Mr. H. C. Eccles will kindly;open up
the dining room of the Metropolitan
Hotel to-day, to such persons as come
in on the stockholders' train bringing
their own lunches with them. Chairs
and tables will be provided and visitors
will thus be furnished a pleasant place
where they can enjoy their dinners and
take a rest and all without any charge
whatever. Doubtless many of the ex
cursionists will avail themselves of Mr.
Eccles's courtesy and appreciate it. st

ago an immense cotton factory was

the mayor of the city, and other dis

alone employs a very large number of
operatives. It was stated that several
thousand persons are supported from
the wages it pays out. One can hardly
turn in any direction without finding
some sort of manufactory; if it is not a

Much might be written concerning
this city which is throbbing with life
and energy at the other end of the Air
Line Railroad. This is only intended
is a cursory glance at its prominent
f eatures a mere mention of some of its
most notable characteristics. A visit to
Atlanta cannot but impress one with
new hope for the towns and the cities
of the whole Southern country. An
account of what the visitor can see in a
few hours may inspire the idea of a
second Atlanta in North Carolina. In
ocation, in climate, in the character
and cultivation of the soil of the sur
rounding country, in railroad facilities
in no particular did Atlanta possess
an advantage over Charlotte, except in
the energy and enterprise of her citizens.
This is humiliating, but it is true, and
no man will deny it.

Alleged Cure for Whooping- Cough.
We referred yesterday to the preva
lence of whooping cough among the
children in a certain section of the city.
Since then we notice the following in a
newspaper, claimed to be a remedy for
the malady :
"Take the child to the gas works,
when the process of making gas is go
ing on, and permit it to inhale the fumes
aslongasMs deemed .safe. It is said
tiiattije experjmenii lias pro vea a com
plete success in every case in which it
has been tried the child invariably re
turning home cured."
Whether the child would rather have
the whooping cough or be made to snuff
up gas "as long as is deemed safe," is a
question which must not be submitted
to ifs discretion. It would take the
chances with the whooping cough every
time.
