THE MILLS AT PETER CAVE.
Interesting Trip Made by Two
Local Young Men to That
Famous Lumber Camp.
Sunday n.orning the writer received
an invitation irora nir. r. v. hutotoh
to accompany him to t'oter Cave where
the two saw mills of Messrs Milbrandt
and Karris, respectively, are located. 1

The day wan just such a beautiful Uncle Bub has tremendous arguments
fall day as you read ahont. The sky with bis particular friend and crony,
clr-ar, the air cool, the troes ablasu Austin Coppingor and their wordy coin
with red and gold and the forest aisles bats are celebrated from Petor Cave to
strewn with fnlloii leaves. Our borsos Soquacbee and thence no. one knows,
trotted briskly nlon? snuffing the keen Those two mills of Farris and Mil

Is said that lumber teams have myster-j a regular wagon train is kept busy

Is Austin Coppinger says so, and look- shipment. It is now under consider
ing at them, it would seem passing 'ion to move the Farris mill two miles
strango if something did not get lost In ,
thum occasionally. Howeverf wh will
let that pass, or rather pass tbe mud
holes as best we can.
At Austin Coppinger's wo saw a large
sign "Do not talk to rae on politics, A.
Coppingor" and at Jesse Coppinger's
Switch noted that be bad made great
Improvement to his resideneo making a
comfortable home.
Passing on up the cove tbe way be-
came more tortuous ana tne siaes oi
the mountains closer, and finally tbe
road took tho bed of tbe river and pret
ty nearly stayed there.
After several miles of travelling over
rocks and boulders, through fords,
through mudholes, up bill, down bill,
etc., we began to feel like the Fairy
in Shakespeare's comedy of "A Mid
summer Night's Dream" who sings:
"Over bill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough briar,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere."
As we journeyed we saw a corn field
that looked like Bill Nye's 40-acre farm
of cliff and, accosting a passer-by, asked
hlra how they cultivated it. "Well," be
said "When tbev ret ready to plant it
they get a maul and some iron wedtre
and drill the boles. If they use fertil
iser they tamp it Into tbe bottom of the
hole with a tamping bar and everything
is lovely."
"Indeed" we said and passed on.
Arena, tho only postofflce in the Cove,
is prettily situated facing tho western
sua, and the whole city as one looks up
tbe principal street and only thorough
fare, would make a caDital subject for
the artist's pencil.
Above Arena, the scene grows wilder.
and the spruoe pines, wblcb cluster a
long the side ot tbe road, which is near
ly always the bed of the creek, present
a cold, gloomy and forbidding appear
ance. It is a splendid place in wbicb
to play tbat noble game of oards entitl
ed "solitaire."
Arriving at the saw mills tbe eye waa
gladdened, the beart cheered, and tbe
appetite enhanced, tbe first by tbe sight
of the yellow lumber piles glittering
In the sunlight, tbe second by tbe
thought of human companionship and
kind feeling among the sturdy woods
men and the third by the deBire to
gratify tbe inner man.
We were met by Ingersoll Jones, tbe
polite bookkeeper for Farris & Co., who
received us hospitably and soon we
were engaged In tbe beauties of dissect
ing canned salmon, sardines and crack
ers, the regulation diet of all who ar
rive after dinner boar, which is strictly
from 12:00 to 1:00 p. m. at the Peter
Cave Restaurant.
We Inspected the Farris Mill first and
concluding tbat verything was la good
order there went over to the Milbrandt
Mill and made a critical examination ot
It This mill stands there Just as if it
had taken winirs from its aits ip near
tbe county bridge and flown over tbe
mountains and landed In tbe cove. The
shingles have been replaced by boards,
put on with that reckless disregard for
appearances which characterises a lum
ber camp; but even tbey, tba shingles
of ooHrse might have been knocked off
la taking tbat tremendous flight
Everything was just the same even to
the location of the grindstone and
the Bin room. The water pipe, bow-
ever was hors de combat, no water com
ing through it, and la reply to a ques
tion some one said that he guessed a
saw log had run over It and broke tbe
eoaaection.
Among tbe familiar faces we saw were
those of Dan Furgusoa and Toll Bur
nett, those distinguished fox hunters
and coon catchers. Fox fainting is a
great pastime and after algbt many an
exciting race baa been run la tbat cove,
bealtbv for tbe dogs and unhealthy for
the fox.
Tbe small-pox scare has not reached
here yet One old lady who Is terribly
afraid of it, when told by a certain per
soa tbat be had been to Soetb Pittsburg
hollered out "Good God, and you've
been right where the small-pox is" and
bolted up the mountain side as fast as
she could fo. And this is the nearest
o a cane of small-pox in that vicinity.
With plenty of fine water, pure air,
bright ssnshine, joke and jist, free
life in the woods and plain but whole
some food, these manipulators of the
canthook and axe have nothing to foar
and Dan Furguson says If Mr. Small-pox

his dogs after him and make htm bunt

Some people are moving to the moun

climb a bill same as it can walk In the
valley, so stay at home and keep the
door shut
I want to say a few words about the
smallpox. I bad tbe smallpox in New
Orleans five years ago, and while I was
lying at the point of death I could soe
others some struggling and gasping for
breath and some dying. I as well as
the others were tied bands and feet to
our beds, and all I wanted was to
scratch, and if I could have got to my
self no doubt I would have put myself
to death with my finger nails as some
others did. I did not need any guard
to keep me in doors, and I did n't jump
up and run to the table and eat a pone
of corn bread and a pound of meat I
waa seasick on tbe waters onoe and tht
was awful, but nothing to compare with
mallpox. All I ate was rioe, a little
soup and a small slice of moonshine and
I didn't want anything. Tbe yellow
fever used tobeonoof the most con
tagious diseases in America and tba
small-pox today is harder to control
than tbe yellow jack and I venture to
say tbat if that was the small-pox that
they bad here in the summer
when the small-pox does set ia it will
kill everydody, I never heard of small'
pox before in August Now the people
in Mississippi have what they call tbe
Cuban itch and tbe varlolid and when
anyone baa the variolid he thinks it is
