The Oat Club.—Mr. Henry Vinson’s
aero of oats, contesting for the prize, was
cut last Thursday and turned out 85 bush
els. If it had not been so badly blown
down it would have panned out over -t
hundred bushels.
Capt. Enni§ filed through town last
Thursday with his threshing machinery,
the eugThe'In fnll blast, the wheels husv,
and the men at their posts, while the gal
lant Captain sat amidships, with his arms
folded. The Captain is in earnest.
It was currently reported on our streets
hast Wednesday, that a negro man was up
town buying Collins axes to cut the oats
down on one of the prize acres Wi 1 he city,
the champion rentier being unable to do the
work. Coroner Scott told us about it—and
that’s all we know about It.
Prof. O. M. Cone and a class of cadets

Dr. Orr has selected Millodgeville as the
si to for the Middle Georgia Teachers In

two hundred teachers, white aruj colored,
are expected to 1"“ in attendance. ’J he
white teachers will hold their sessions at
the college and the colored teachers at Ed
dy academy.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
will give, on next Friday, June 2d, a dinner,

that it does not. They have an experi-
c not'd hand at its lieatl. Admittance for
dinner, 50c.-Children, 25c. Everybody
expected.
A man walked into tho post-office some
days ago and imagining lie smelt some
thing not exactly of tho aroma of attar of
roses, interviewed the postmaster about it
—in this way; “I say, Captain, you have
a bad smell like something dead—what is
it?” “I don’t know,” said the Captain sol
emnly', “unless It’s tho dead letters.” There
was an ominous silence, and tho man
with the siiarp smelling organ softly re
tired, forgetting entirely to look among the
“dead letters.”
“Old Banks” is dead—Ben. Adams’ old
hoi so— aged 20. Abetter or more faithful
animal never served his owner. Ho was
one of a pair Bon. used to drive when a
young man, a handsome turnout it was
too. Ben. buried him with ail tho horse
honors laid down in the books, and turned
out the following lines to his memory:
“Old Banks” is dead, that good old horse.
We ne’er shall see him more;
If horses have a heaven, he’s gone,
To tread that happy shore.
A “colored man and brother" dropped in
our office last Saturday, and, looking at
our typo-setLors with mouth and eyes
wide open. Innocently remarked, “Looks
like there ought to lie a heap of money in
dis kind of work.” We aski-d, “who are
you for for governor?” “Sail!” "Did you
ever hear of Alexander II. Stephens! 1 ” we
asked. “No. sail, not ’zackly, as I knows
of. l)o he liv down hear at tie pottry?”—
“Did you ever hear of a newspaper report
er?” “No, sah!” “Do you know we are
taking down every word you say?” “Sakes
o’live! No, sah. 1 inns’ go!” “We’ve got
down all you’ve said?” “Boss, I haint sed
miffin’.” “Hold on let us read It to vou,
and see if we have reported you correct

It is no use to try to hunt up local items

LARGE ALLIGATOR.
Last Saturday morning, Mr. Win. H.
Scott came Into town with a one horse
wagon containing a dead alligator, which
was driven on the scales at the warehouse
here and quite a crowd or people of all
ages, colors and conditions soon collected
to see the distinguished stranger.
It appeared that Mr. J. C. Whitaker, who
lives in tho lower part of this county, on
the east side of the Oconee, killed it by
shooting it in tho head with a Spencer rille
on Friday last, in a lake on his plantation,
which contains a number of the same kind
of reptilos. It was quite a curiosity to
most of our people, not one in ten of whom
probably had ever seen one before. It
proved to be to feet 8 inches in length and
weighed 3G4 pounds;and was undoubtedly
an exceedingly ugly and dangerous look
ing creature.
A friend, who was with tho party who
made a survey of the Okefenokeo swamp
many years ago, told us they killed an al
ligator in the central portion of the swamp
that measured between 12 and- 13 feet in
length. He also stated that a rattlesnake
was killed during the same expedition, 7
feet 4 inches long.
THOSE FINE OATS.
it few weeks ago every aero in oats, of
the club of gentlemen who made a pool,
and are contesting for the prize, looked
splendidly, and promised an immense
yield. But the oats have fallen down bad
ly, and cannot be thoroughly harvested.
The disaster is attributed by some to wind
and rain, but the trouble lay in the height
of tlte stalk, which could not stand up un
der a load of water and grain. It does not
take veiy rich land, or high manuring,
such as has been given by these gentlemen
to their respective acres, to make a large
profit oil oats. Moderately manured land
sown with a fine quality of seed, will, in
our opinion, yield the biggest profit. Stalks
4 feet high will do better than stalks 6 feet
high with correspondingly long heads and
large grain, because the former will not
be blown about by the winds and beat down
by’ the rains.
There is such a tiling as overdoing a
good tiling; and we believo our farming
friends who have made sucli praiseworthy
efforts to incite their neighbors to similar
works, will find out in the end that the
heaviest manuring, producing, as it does,
the tallest and heaviest stalk, is not so
wise as to manure less, and thereby save
time, labor and expense. These competing
planters will no doubt give in their expe
rience at the Farmers' Club meeting on the
2d Saturday’ in June, when we may all get
at the true secret of success in planting
oats. But, that tho main thing is to get a
good rust proof seed, all arc agreed. Then
I let the manuring go on as experience
teaches to be best.
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
A score or so of our intelligent and ener
getic farmers have demonstrated what can
be done by raising grain on the intensive
plan, and their experiments are highly’sat
isfactory. The friendly rivalry has broad
ened t he field, and another year will wit
ness wider and deeper interest in this
branch of farming. Now, we want to see
this same spirit directed to another most
important branch of agriculture \iz: stock
raising. In ttio matter of line cattle, breeds
| of horses, hogs and sheep, Baldwin county
is far behind some of her neighbors—for
j instance, Putnam, Washington, Hancock,
I and higher up, Morgan, are all far ahead
; of us itt the matter of superior cattle,
j horses and hogs. Cattle, especially, needs
I attention in Baldwin, and when a few men
j become interested in the importation of fine
! breeds, the spirit will be catching, and
spread amongst our people rapidly’, and
I cnee fairly’ established it wiltnot languish
j or die out. We hope the Farmers’ Club
| will agitate this subject, and awaken an in-
i tcrest in it. We may lie divided on the
: “fence” question, and stay’ so for year's to
j come, but when our people once get famil-
I iar with the sight of splendid cows, bulls,
horses, hogs and sheep, they will “catch
j on,” bo to speak, with avidity, and hold on
with a hull-dog tenacity. Lot the ball be
I opened in the Farmers’ Club this summer.

PIC NIC AT HARRISBURG.
The colored schools at this little subur-
| hail hamlet, had a pic nie on Saturday, to
■ which the writer was invited and which he
| attended in company with County School
I Commissioner Carrington. At 11 o’clock,
tho schools, headed by tho Harrisburg
Blues, a military company of the village,
with spirit-stirring music, marched up to
the grove, hard by, where a stage was
erected. The exercises were opened by
singing and prayer. Moses T. Austin, the
very worthy’ day school teacher, called out
the scholars, male and female, in order,
for recitation and speaking, by the smaller
children, and it pleases us to say’ that they
acquitted themselves very creditably.
These exercises were interspersed with
some very sweet singing, which contribu
ted to allay the monotony’ of speech-mak
ing. At the close of the exercises, Mr.
Carrington, Ibv invitation, addressed the
assembly briefly. He gave the colored
peoplo good advice, and showed them the
paths to follow if they would be good, in
telligent, and industrious men and women.
The writer, on invitation, made a few re
marks, congratulating the schools and the
neighborhood—tlie first for their proficien
cy, and the latter for its excellent reputa
tion for good order. Tho exercises closed
with the benediction. The Blues gave the
company a sample of their drilling, and
then all parties dispersed through the
grove, to discuss their baskets and con
tents. A special table was provided for
Mr. Carrington, Mr. Richards, our young
est boy and ourself, and upon it was placed
ns nice a cold collation, from barbecue to
custard and cake, as an epicure could
crave, for which, and other courtesies, we
return our grateful acknowledgments.
The day’ was pleasant, and the colored
people of Harrisburg have added anoth
er joyous celebration to their annual
re-union.
ANSWER TO “BUD JIM.”
There may be three women,
Whether they live in Greece or not—
In mansion, hovel, or in cot—
With two daughters each, no more,
Will number seven, rich or poor.
Thus, a daughter has two daughters,
May be of different ages,
And each in the play of life.
Act on different stages.
Each of these two daughters
Have each two daughters more,
Which, if numbered rightly,
Will make you even four.
The first three daughters are the women
As previously given,
Which added to the last four born
Will surely give the seven.
Wo saw a largo circular sjiot in a gen
tleman’s wheat Held, last week, where lie
had penned a manure pile for two or three
months. Tho spot was planted like the
rest of tho ground, at the same time. Tho
grain grew very rank upon it, and now it
is absolutely the poorest turnout in the
whole field, clearly demonstrating the fact
that heavy manuring is not essential to
tlie production of heavy small grain crops.
Of this we arc satisfied. Had all this gen
tleman’s field been as highly manured as
that spot, ho says he would not have made
his eocd.
If everything hero below happened ns
you could wish in every particular, even the
most minute, aud fulfilled the least as well
as tho greatest of your desires, you would
gain nothing but the awaking of a greater
desire not to lie gratified by anything
earthly’.
Trado was duller on Saturday than it
has been on any previous Saturday this
year. We expected it would be otherwise,
os a good deal ol money was paid out last
week to laborers in tho fields and at
city brickyards.

Died, May 21st, 1882, at the residence of
her son, Capt. Ciias. II. Andrews, in Leon .
e unty, Fla., Mies. Mary Ann Andrews,
in the 70lh year of her age.
How common are such announcements a*
the above! The daily and weekly issues
of the press teem with them. The casual
reader glances at them aud then turns
to the news of the day, or to politi
cal or business topics, as his inclination
may prompt; unmindful of the sorrow—
the heart-sickness—which almost invaria
bly accompanies every such event. But
every honorable and useful life makes its
impress for good upon those brought in
contact with it aud deserves commemora
tion, even though surviving friends can
find nothing more suitable for such a pur
pose than a brief obituary in a newspaper.
Mbs. Andrews was the daughter of the
Hon. Charles Eaton Haynes, of Hancock
county, once a member of Congress from
Georgia, and at a time when It was cus
tomary to send our best men to represent
us in our national capitr.i. She married
ami while still young, was left a widow,
with two sons to roar and educate. She
was a most devoted mother, and choosing
tlie occupation of a teacher, she gavo the
best years of her life, with an energy aud
fidelity rarely equalled, to the care of her
children and the faithful performance cu
the duties that devolved upon her in the
avocation she had chosen. For a number
of years slip lived in Athens, and subse
quently in Madison, and there are doubt
less many of her oid pupils and friends in
those communities and the adjacent coun
try, who will with sincere sorrow hear of
her decease.
There was nothing common-place iu tho
ebaruetei of Mrs. Andrews. She had
strong convictions and was frank, though
courteous, in the expression of her opin
ions. She had line conversational powers
and enjoyed social pleasures with great
zest, while contributing largely to their
enjoyment by others. In early life, her
social surroundings were marked by tho
free hospitality, lavish expenditure and
happv gaiety which were characteristic of
good'country society in the olden time,
and the better traits of her associates of
those days, clung to her through life.
For a number of years, she had been a
consistent member of the Methodist
church, but upon her removal to Florida,
several years since, she joined—with her
daughter-in-law and grandchildren—the
Presbvterian church, at Montlceilo, the
Rev. B. Baker, pastor, who officiated at
her funeral. After an active and useful
