Dobbs, of Carters ville, has been invited to preach the commencement sermon for the Mid dle Georgia Military and Agricultu ral College at Milledgeville, and that also of Mercer University. Pastor Newman baptized five per sons into the fellowship of his church at Tallapoosa Sunday week. These were added to the membership with out any special meeting and shows that there is a good state of feeling in Bro. Newman’s church. The many friends of Professor W. L. Duggan are glad to know that he has improved in health, and will resume his duties at Mercer Univer sity in the fall. The Professor will return to the chair of Greek, which he so ably filled before his illness. Rev. G. R. Gunn is preaching very able sermons at Sandy Cross, and is making favorable impression upon the people of that community. Rev. A. L. Hillman has been on the sick list several days, but is now conva lescing. The meetings at the Baptist Church, LaGrange, are quite interest ing., Several have made a profession of faith and the congregations are large. Rev. S. G. Tumlin is preach ing with unction and earnestness and working with zeal. Judge John T. Pendleton, of At lanta, has been quite sick for several days. We hope our good brother will soon recover and be himself again. He is one of the men who is useful at all points, and is greatly missed in business, civil and religious circles. The meetings at the First Baptist Church, Macon, are being largely at tended and much enjoyed. Rev. Mr. Taylor, the pastor, is doing all in his power to make the meetings re sult in much good to his church, and he is being assisted by a large num ber of enthusiastic church workers Rev. E. W. Warren, of the Tatnall Square Church, Macon, is greatly pleased with the spirit manifested in his meetings. He spends sometime every afternoon at his study in the rear of Mercer for the benefit of those who wish to consult him on religious subjects. A special to the Atlanta Constitu tion of April 19th from ThomasvilleJ Ga., states that Rev. John F. Purser, of Troy, Ala., has been called to the pastorate of Thomasville Baptist Church, to succeed Rev. Mr. Wil liams who lately resigned. Should Dr. Purser accept, Georgia Baptists will extend to him a cordial welcome. The meeting at the Baptist church in Cuthbert, is full of interest. Rev. W. H. Smith, of Anniston, Ala., is preaching excellent sermons. The congregations are large. The Cuth bert Leader says Mr. Smith is a forci ble speaker and an eloquent and polished pulpit orator. Good results are expected. Appropriate memorial services in honor of the late Rev. John S. Dodd, have been arranged to occur at Bethsaida Church, April 30th. An interesting program has been prepared, and a very large crowd is expected to be present and partici pate in the impressive exercises. The Evening News of Augusta, thus speaks of Rev. Dr. Nelson, who is conducting services for Dr. Bur rows in the First Baptist Church of that city: “Dr. Nelson is one of the most forcible and pleasing speakers ever in Augusta, and he impresses all who hear him with his wonderful ower and intense piety.” In the death of Mr. J. L. Jones, Campbell County has lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. He was stricken at the dinner table, and expired before medical aid could reach him. He was near seventy years of age and had been an honor ed citizen of the comunity for about forty years. Rev. Reuben Rhodes conducted the funeral services at the Baptist Church, Fairburn. The Athens Banner of the 21st says : “Rev. James F. Edens is in the city, representing that standard Baptist journal, ‘The Christian In dex.’ The Index is one of the best of church papers, and no doubt Mr. Edens will meet with no inconsider able success in our city.” The pas tor of the First Baptist church Dr. Gwaltney commends Bro. Edens and the Index in the very warmest terms, to the Baptists of Athens. Thanks for such kindly notices. The Byron Baptist church elected Bro. D. G. Lee to the Deacon’s office on last Sabbath. Brother Lee is Principal of the Byron High School, and stands very high in the commu nity, both as teacher and Christian. His brethren are very anxious for him to accept the position, as they believe that he will make a very efli cient and useful Deacon. Wm. H. Norton, Fort Valley, Ga., April 22, 1892. The sessions of the Southern Bap tist Convention are to be held in Trinity Church of this city. The building is a large one, well located, and has been generously tendered by the members of that church. The courtesy -is very much appreciated, and when the opportunity presents itself will be fully reciprocated. The Sunday-school at Bairds, cele brated Easter with appropriate servi ces. The church was filled to its ut most seating capacity, and the entire program was witnessed with intense interest. Every song and every reci tation was eminently suited to the day and occasion, and led one in a devout and reverent manner to real ize that Christ has risen. The Bethany Correspondent thus speaks of one of our faithful pastors : Rev. Mr. Burruss, by his pure, conse crated life, earnest, effectionate ap peals from the pulpit, anxiety and desire to meet and know his flock, is winning friends and hearts, and per haps kindling latent Christian fire in the souls of many. He preaches morning and evening on the third Rev. J. G. Christian is doing good work in his pastorate at Royston Baptist Church. His church and congregation speak in kind and com plimentry terms of his ministry at that place. Rev. T. A. Thornton, at Milltown, and Rev. P. F. Crawford, at Rio, are also successfully minister ing to appreciative churches in their respective fields. The Board of Directors of the Hebron Baptist High School are ad vertising for sealed bids for the erec tion and completion of a high school building at Bowman, Elbert County, Ga. This means business, and our enterprising brethren of the Hebron are showing a spirit of zeal and liber ality worthy of emulation. Pastor J. H. Hall is having an in teresting meeting at Newnan. Rev. W. S. Rogers, of Barnesville, is as sisting in the service and is preaching fine sermons. The people are attend ing the meeting in large numbers, and much interest is being mani fested. Pastor T. J. Swanson is having a pleasant reception at Macedonia. Though he has only lately commenced his ministry at that place, his people are saying many good things concern ing his work there. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY APRIL 28. 1892. J. D. Harris, I. J. Stephens and E. W. Satterwhite have been elect ed to the deaconship by the Baptist church at Franklin. The series of meetings which are being held at'the East Macon Baptist church by Rev. E. J. Coates is much enjoyed by his congregation. Hopes are entertained of excellent results. The protracted meeting at the Baptist church in Dawson increases in interest. The pastor Rev. W. H- Patterson is assisted in the good work by Dr. W. C. Bledsoe, of LaFayette, Ala. Mr. W. R. Gorman, who died sud denly at the residence of Mr. M. L. Kirk, near Kennesaw Mountain, was 82 years old and was well known. His funeral took place at New Salem last Sunday week. Mrs. White, wife of Mr. Henry White, died near Noonday on the 15th inst. She had been a sufferer for a long time but bore it without complaint. She had been a member of Noonday church for twenty-five years. Col. H. A. Hall of Newnan has been invited to deliver the alumni address at the approaching com mencement of Mercer University June 7th and has accepted. On the Bth of June he will also deliver an addreks before the Gainesville Fe male College. Our heart has been deeply touch ed at the sad death of little Allen King, son of deacon King of Rock bridge church. This little bright boy was thrown from a wagon, and crushed by the wheel running over him at Lithonia a few days ago. His remains were buried at Stone Moun tain. May the grace of God com fort the sorrowing family and friends. The Spring Vale Correspondent of the Cuthbert Leader says: Rev. R. B. Taylor preached us two excellent sermons last Sabbath. In the one at night he boldly unmasked many of the “so-called” innocent pleasures in which church members engage. We extend to Bro. Taylor the right hand of fellowship on that sermon, and request that he continue to as sail them until such an evil shall cease. Our ministers seem to be afraid to attack such things, lest they should give offence and thereby de plete their congregations. Wo be lieve it is a minister’s imperative duty to “ hew to the line,” regardless of the chips. Dr. W. H. Roberts, who is visiting friends here in Atlanta, is constantly meeting many who sat under his ministry in days of yore. After preaching at the Sixth Church Sun day week, one of his hearers told the Doctor how he had enjoyed one of his sermons during the war in North Georgia. The mention of this brought vividly to memory those times that tried men’s souls, and the Doctor was comforted by the assur ance that his ministrations to the soilders as well as to the folks at home, had accomplished much good. There is much of cheer and satisfac tion in these re-unions, which brigh ten the pathway of life, and gild the down grade with joyous content ment, which better prepare for the evening of departure. We have been confering with some of our brethren, who are mem bers of country churches, in refer ence to the importance of having a meeting in the spring each year, of all the churches in the Stone Moun tain Association, and we find that such a gathering is very desirable.- Wc say the-Stone Mountain Associ ation because our membership is in that. The members of our churches are not thrown together as often as they should be. Prominent denom inational interests are not discussed as thoroughly as they might be. Our distinctive characteristics as a de nomination should be more clearly emphasized. Could we have a full representation from all of our church es at some central point in the asso ciation, say at least once a year, to emphasize and discuss those interests that are dear to us, great good would be gained, and besides, the social and religious .element would bo pro moted. The old songs, the good sermons, and the fervent prayers would do us all good. Let us talk up the proposed meeting by the time the association assembles in Septem ber and appoint one for next spring. Drummond’s Addresses. Wo have arranged with the publisher of Drummond’s Addresses to send a copy to any old subscriber who will send us one now sub scriber with $2. Or if preferable, we will send a copy of “My Point of View" a collection of selections from Prof. Drummond’s works, in which the .com piler has embraced the gist of all the good things from Drummond’s prolific mind. A SOUTHER!^ FARM. THE HOLTON STOCK FARM, PROPERTY CF R. E. PARK, MACON, GA. I doubt if there is any man in the whole South, wlio has made a ’suc cess of farming, who is more widely and favorably known as a cultured gentleman of many attainments than is Captain Robert E. Park, of Macon, Ga., the owner and the manager of the famous “Holton Stock Farm,” eight miles north of the city, on the Ocmulgee river. Captain Park is not only a successful farmer and bus iness man every way, but he stands high in the literary and politcal cir cles of the land. He is the Southern manager of one of the largest publish ing houses in America, and his recent published letters on the political is sues of the day mark him as a states man of exalted conceptions, and as a writer of rare and happy gifts in the literal expression of thought. Captain Park is a native Georgian, and is somewhere on the shady side of forty. He is a graduate of Ox ford; was for some time in the famous school at. Auburn, Ala-, and this is still regarded by the man as one of his alma maters. He went into the army when quite young, in a com pany raised in and around Tuskegee,’ Ala. In his command were a num ber of men now famous, among them being Judge Clopton, of the Supreme Court of the State named. Captain Park was wounded and taken prison er September 19th, 1864, and for eight months was in confinement in Fort Delaware and other prisons. During this whole period, until his release in June, 18G5, he kept regu larly a dairy of prison events, a work which has since been published in book form, it being one of the most valuable literary productions pertain ing to the war period. After his re lease from prison, Captain Park fin ished his education, and began teach ing in the liigh school at LaGrange, Ga. For four years he was success ful in this department of life. Captain Park has now one of the most interesting farms in all the South. In the amplitude of his wis dom and observation, he learned the lesson that there is more pleasure, more interest and more money to the farmer in putting the grain products of his. farm in tot five sto«sk at home, •nd on foot, than in attempting succeed simply in the sale of grain and grass in them selves. The surplus—and the net profit—of his farm is not altogether in what is known as “fancy stock,” but it is largely so. And herein lies another secret of this farmer’s success. He has learn ed that it is quit AaS easy to raise a horse or a cow to sell at 8150 or 8200 as it is to raise the animal of an inferior type, that sells for less money. THE SHETLAND PONY. For many years Captain Park has made a specialty of raising Shetland ponies. His brood mares and stal lions are imported by him direct from the Shetland islands north of Scotland, where this famous breed of horse flesh has been propagated in seclusion, and consequently in purity, sot hundreds of years, just as the Jersy cattle have been maintained in such high purity in the other island south of England. The Shetland pony is a variety of the horse long known for its quali ties of hardiness and docility, and for the ease with which it can be kept fat. It is the rarest thing on earth to see one with its bones visi ble through the hide. The fellow will live on a handful of food each day, and then he is not so particular as to how he gets it. He will pick up a grain of oats off tho ground about as well as a chicken can per form the same operation. But the chief value of the shetland pony lies in its extreme gentleness, and in its trustworthiness as a pet among chil dren. It is in great demand by rich people who desire it for use among the little folks of their household. Any child of discretion and ordinary strength can manage a Shetland pony, either in harness or under the saddle. Their forte is in harness. They are good trotters, getting over ground in a manner that would sur prise one not accustomed to their use; and then they are always attractive, both from the point of size and oth erwise. Then’ colors have a wide and varied range. The piebald or tho “calico” is always a favorite. Tho little animal is usually about forty two inches in height, although they run from thirty-six to fifty inches. They are usually free from unsound ness, and arc singularly exempt from diseases, and they live to the ex treme age of forty. Captain Park has tho very finest strain of this blood known, and he is inconstant receipt of inquiries touch ing supplies and prices. His cus tomers are found in nearly all tho Southern States. In liis published catalogue are given full information touching pedigrees, parts and prices, etc. It may interest the reader to know that prices range from 850 for a colt to 81,00 for the finest stallion; 8200 is an average price for a good, gentle marc. Captain Park has other interesting varieties of the diminutive animal on his place. He has not only the gen uine guinea pig, the size of a small' rabbit—this propagated not for its sausage product, but chiefly for pet ting purposes—but he has also the GUINEA BREED OF CATTLE. This variety is the smallest known of the ox family in domestication. The cows are from thirty-two to thirty-six inches in height; they are of great heaviness of head and quar ters, and their yield of milk is enor mous for their weight, it being more in proportion to size than the yield of the larger varieties of cattle. The an imals are hornless, or “polled,” and the predominant color is red. Captain Park keeps the best strains obtaina ble in America. The breed is not generally known in any country, but it has long been one of my favorites in the realm of small pet stock. It occupies the same position in the cat tle family that is held by the Shet land pony among horses, so far as gentleness, and abundant service in a small outlay of food are concerned. But the Guinea cow or the Guinea bull is never so comely and valuable as are tho picturesque fellows from Shetland, and they occupy a secon dary place on the great farm now under consideration. The great bulk of the pride and capital invested on this “Holton Stock Farm’’ is found in its big herd of Jerseys. It is a marvel to one not in the secret how the price of Jersey blood has eyer reached its enormous figures. Captain Park has on his place a strain of this noted va riety of cattle that produces a single calf that will sell for 12,500 at two months old! When I have said this much, the reader may think I have said enough in praise of such cattle; and yet if further facts are desired in substantiation of what I have said, or in other mutters relating to the Jer seys on this farm, I have no doubt Captain Park will take pleasure in answering inquiries. ’ Let me tell where some of the moneyjeomes in on this place from its cattle. MONEY IN THE JERSEY. There are kept here some thirty of the Jersey cows. With ordinary feed, they give ten pounds of butter weekly each in regular season. The cows bring calves usually at two years old. When the calf is five days old it is weaned, and henceforth it must live on skimmed milk fed to it artificially. It also has the run of ample Bermuda grass in tho summer and green rye and barly in the win ter months. As soon as the calf is two years old—if a heifer—it brings from 850 to 8150, according to its “points” or beauty. The single ser vice of the bull of this breed alone frequently brings as high as 8100. The surplus milk from the dairy on this place goes to the feed of Cap tain Park’s large herd of registered thorough bred pigs. BLOODED FIGS. Here is another specialty of this farm—its and fine pure-blooded hogs. Captain Park says that after thorough tests of various breeds of swine, he has reached the conclusion that the best hogs for general purposes are the Berkshires and Poland Chinas. The former stands highest with him, as it makes the firmest and sweetest hams and has the juiciest and best ribs and sausage. The Poland Chi nas are best for lard and the side meat product generally. The annual sales of the blooded pigs from this place amount to sev eral hundred dollars, the full product from ten sows and two boars all go ing into the market at some two months from their birth—all except a few of the least desirable of the shoats, there being of these some for ty to fifty slaughtered each season for the family meat, the weight of yearlings running from 135 to 300 pounds each; older ones going as high as 400 pounds. In addition to.the milk food receiv ed by the swine from the dairy on this place, the hogs in season are fed on clover and cut sorghum. They have also the range of the pea fields in the fall and acorns from the oak fores’s around. THE FARM. There is a very large acreage on this farm devoted to grass and the grains, but, as I have stated before, none of these products go into the market direct. The farm is cultivat ed chiefly that its grain and grass products may supply the live stock; this brings in the profit. Some choice acres are devoted to cotton, the annual sales of this staple run ning from twenty-five to thirty-five bales, 500 pounds each. The money received from the sale of this item goes into the purse that is kept for the actual farm expenses, so that the net profits of the farming are all really from the live stock and from the butter sold. Captain Park has been engaged in fanning since 1877. His present farm was bought in 1878 at a public auction—743 acres at 87 per acre. He subsequently added about 500 acres at prices ranging from 85 to 810 per acre. The place is named “Holton” from Captain Park’s father in-law, the late General William S. Holt, one of the successful planters and business men of Bibb county. Much of the land now in best stats of cultivation was once abandoned areas, parts of the old plantations of the wrecked owners of the recon struction era. The present owner has expended large sums in the work of restoration and improvement. 'Die hillsides have been terraced, and miles of gullies have been filled and brought under cultivation. For all this property, once consid- dered but of little value without slave labor, and costing only some SIO,OOO Captain Park has recently refused an offer of $40,000. This shows what a farming genius can do where there is a will. The ground now under cultiva tion shows 250 acres in Bermuda grass and eight acres in Red clover. Thirty acres of the Bermuda is meadow land, from which some five tons of hay are cut annually, on each acre, the grass receiving the cutter two or three times annually. There were the present year fif teen acres in sorghum, which is used for “soiling” the stock, or cut aud fed in a green state, a favorite method on this place. THE SILO. Captain Park is a firm believer in the silo. Ho has in his stock yard a huge one, constructed of brick and portland cement. It is fifty feet long, sixteen feet wide, and thirteen feet deep. It holds 100 tons of en silage. Twenty-five acres this year were cultivated in corn to fill this silo. Seventy five acres on the place were run in peas, these usually fol lowing the corn crop. Among the most profitable of all the farm products hero is barley. Captain Park thinks that he is one of the largest growers of barley in Geor gia, he having nearly twenty acres of this grain regularly each year. He says he can make it yield him fifty bushels of grain to the acre, while his rye crop rarely goes beyond twelve or fifteen bushels to acre. These cereals are sown early in the season, and hence the growing, blades are ready in the winter as the finest of pasturage for his pigs and calves, lie says that his hogs are so fond of the blades that they are rarely tempted to resort to their noses and go to rooting for their livelihood in his fields. The lesson to be learned from this man’s success I shall leave the reader to determine as ho or she may road them. I shall not here pose as philosopher to point the moral; I have not endeavored to give any adornment to the tale in the recital of mere facts. I must here make my acknowledgements to the generous owner for many courtesies extend ed me in a day spent in personally taking in and observing and study ing this most interesting farm. It is a monument to Captain Park’s gen ius and his heart in more ways than one. THE VILLAGE OF HOI.TOE. He has built a handsome and at tractive village at the railway sta tion that lies midway his plantation. Here are commodious cottages, school buildings, a brick store, club houses, summer houses, all by broad streets, bordered by long lines o£ it ees transplated there; Not the least of the noble work of this man is a beautiful memorial church in the village, an imposing building of brick and granite, erected at a cost of several thousand dollars—the of fering of his own heart to the mem ory of his dear dead wife, one of the loveliest of Georgia’s daughters. In this elegantly finished and commo dious chapel, all denomination are free to worship. Captain Park him self is a member of Various organiza tions, organizations devoted to benev olence, to charity, to literature, to education and public interest gener ally. He is also a member of the military staff of the governor of the State of Georgia—appearing with Governor Northen as a full fledged “Colonel.” But the genial gentle man eschews or ignores this title, preferring that which he won fairly on the bloody field of Virginia—sim ply that of confederate “Captain.” But among all the honors and pleasures of this man’s life, there is nothing that seemed to me to be dearer to him than the honor and •interest he feels in the life of the plain practical farmer.
