Honey Creek Agricultural Soci
ety.
August 12lh. 1876.
Ediior Register :
At the last meeting of Honey Creek
Agricultural Society (Aug 121 we had
quite an interesting time, a large attend
ance, and every one seemed to be alive
to duty—expressed themselves freely
upon any and all topics that were dis
cussed. The business (aside from the
quest mostly in reference to the
coming Fair ; which we trust the citi
zens of Rockdale are looking foi ward to
with considerable interest. We trust
that each and everybody, both male and
female, will use their utmost efforts to
have the Fair be a success, and by no
means become weary at our reminding
them occasionally of the coming event.
Everyone can’t get a premium on the
same article, but everyone can try ; and
by so doing the Fair will be interesting.
Competition is the life of trade; so let
everyone do all that they can to elevate
Rockdale upon the ladder of fame. Our
sister counties are aspiring. Let us be
aspirants as well as they! Let us lift
the mantle of gloom that has long dark
ened and hindered the progress of South
ern people and Southern independence !
Let us no longer look oa the dark side ol
the picture, but look for the dawn of a
brighter day, that we trust is soon to ap
pear ; a day when the nineteenth centu
ry can boast of herself, and prosperity
once more adorn her palaces !
I will give below a report 'from the
Gainesville Convention by L L Waldrop,
a delegate from our Society, which may
be read with some interest by the sub
scribers of your journal.
11. S. McNair, Sec.
STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
It was my good fortune to have the
pleasure of boarding the cars last Mon
day, August 7lh, tor Gainesville. We
left Conyers at 2 o’clock and 45 minutes
pm, arrived in Atlanta at 4 o’clock,
where ve were joined by quite a number
of delegates bound for the ame place.
Left Atlanta at 5 o’clock, arrived in
Gainesville at 7 o’clock and 32 minutes.
Arrangements being previously made,
each delegate (before arriving in Gaines
ville) was provided with a list of the
delegates, showing them to what house
or houses they were assigned, so that
they might have no trouble when they
arrived but to go to their respective
places at once. We were met in the
'train by the committee of arrangements,
who rendered us all the assistance aud
intormntion necessary. The Gainesville
Baud gave us a lively welcome, the same
of which we appreciated done the less.
The kind hospitalities shown us by the
Gainesvi'le citizens will ever give them
a warm we'come should they ever bo
thrown among us.
According to adjournment, the Con
vention assembled, A II Colquitt in the
chair. Convention was opened with
prayer by Rev Mr Cox. An address of
welcome was then delivered by the May
or, Mr Candler, responded to by Mr D
K Butler, of Morgan, which was veiy
able and eloquent. We then had an ad
dress by tho President,* A 11 Colquitt,
which was very appropriate. Conven
tion adjourned for dinnei.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The report of Prof Pendleton from
the experimental farm of .Athens, on
crops ot small grain, was read ; aud dis
cussions by quite a number of practical
tinners, all of which was very interest
ing and profitable. Dr J D 11 Brown,
of Augusta, then delivered an address on
bee culture, which was of interest to
men making that a business. Conven
tion adjourned till night.
THE NIGHT SESSION
Was a kind ot experience meeting on
the various crops, tiie use ol fertilizers,
and practioa) experience, which was very
interest'ng. Convention adjourned till
9 o’clock Wednesday.
WEDNESDAY MORNING’S SESSION.
Convention assembled, and the meet
ing was opened with prayer by Rev Dr
A Means of Oxford. First thing in or
der was an essay on “fruit culture, ’’ by
P J Berkinans ot Augusta, Ga. We
then heard an address trom the North
Georgia Agricultural College ot Dahlou
ega. Also an address upon the subject
of “terracing" or “bill side ditching,'* by
Capt John F Lewis ot Thomaston, and
a great mauy other things 100 tedious to
mention, all of which will be in print.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION
Was taken up in the election of officers.
Hon Thomas Hardeman of Macon, was
elected President. Tho others I will
not give, as their names will be on ttie
minutes ot the Convention.
As it may be of interest to some I
will “ivc rather and abridged account ol
the towns or stop] ing places on the road
from Atlanta to Gainesville: Dcraville
is the first place that greets our eyes—
with only two or three business bouses
an i a population of 150*or 200. The
uext place is Norcross, which is quite a
prosperous aud thriving town, and is
building up rapidly ; the location being
beautiful, and the surrounding country
fertile, it is bound to become a town of
magnitude. The next place is Duluth,
commanding some attention, but not so
much in reputation as Noroross. From
there w'i pass to Buford, which is a towu
of considerable note, being surrounded
by a lei tile country, is destined to be
come a considerab'e town. Suw.inee
comes next, which is situated in a very
broken and hilly country, but shows
some signs ot thrift and prosperity. We
pass from thence to Flowery Branch,
which is building up tolerably last, aud
if not crippled in youth, will become a
I lace of some notoriety. The next place
that meets our eyes is Gainesville—a
beau lit ul place of about 3,500 inhabi'-
antsj manifesting thrift and prosperity ;
while the citizens are kind and hospitable
to strangers.
The Convention adjourned to meet in
Milledgeville, the h jme of Georgia’s de
parted glory. L. L. W.
Courier please copy.

Conyers, August 15th, 1876.
Editor Rejister :
I will give you a short letter this t tme,
in which I will say something of crops
aud candidates, both of which I saw in
a very recent trip lo the country.
Last Thursday morning, before half
the drowsy lids in cur little City had
been unclosed, I was hailed by (I was
about to say, one of our most genial and
highly respected citizens), but as a good
many of them could answer to M. G. &
11. R. I will say John Zachry :
“Are you ready ?”
I am.
“Well, let’s be off.” And off we star
ted for Zachrys farm, which is situated
a mile below McKniglit’s Mills on South
river. For fear that you might infer
that we started out on the people’s lim,
for which I am somewhat celebrated, 1
wi'l just say that we started in a buggy
(which Z. had provided) with two mules
attached. One of them was in the right
place, the other was attached to the rear
of t*’e buggy with a rope. And he was
my particular charge, for whioh I paid
somewhat dearly before my trip was
over. A mule will work anywhere, hut
I think one will work harder tied on by
a rope to a buggy or other vehicle than
anywhere else. Most of them so situa
ted are apt to do one of two things—
pull their head off, or break the attach
ment. The mule under my charge done
neither, as I was holding one end of the
rope and didn’t let go in time to meet
the exigencies of a sudden stop on his
part, and a quick trot on the part of the
mule in front. As I bad mv hand j
through a sliy knot you can imagine the
squeeze it got. It don’t feel well yet.
If you ever have occasion to show our
town and surrounding country to anew
comer or stranger, who is looking out
for anew home, don’t fail to walk him
or drive him out on tho “Orange Farm”
road. There is none of the outlets or
inlets to Conyers that would impress a
stranger so favorably. Every house,
yard, patch and field on that road indi
cates thrift, and prosperity. Tho houses
(residences), large or sir all, {look
neat. Yards with their beautiful
well kejt shrubbery look inviting.
Patches and} fields in their* high
state of cultivation speak of industry
and frugality. And I never felt so proud
of our section, and never had such high
hopes ot our people as on the morning
of this drive. I felt that our progress
would be onward and upward j and that
a very near future would see us the most
prosperous section of all our sunny land.
I noticed particular fields that I saw, and
knew were old twenty years ago; at
’hat time they were not yielding to the
husbandman a half remuneration for his
labor. Today those same fields are
yielding a crop of corn and cotton that
was never dreamed of in their newness
and freshness.
By the time wo readied “Orange
Farm" our rear mule had slackened his
hold a little, and we were in excellent
humor and trim for enjoy ing everything
that was to be seen. Squire Posey was
tho first man we saw after leaving Con
yers. lie was picking up chips at his
wood pile and looked as it lie had just as
soon do without his breakfast ns to build
a fire. I expect lie was sick, for I don’t
think lie was “born tired.” llis house,
yard, garden and broad fields indicate a
stiring proprietor or proprietress, in fact
they indicate both. From .'quire Po
sey's to the River (via Smyrna) we saw
the finest crops of corn and cotton that
were ever seen on the same stretch of
road. As we passed Smyrna we regret
ted not being a day earlier. The day
before it had teemed with great life and
activity, and the hum of hundreds of
commingling voioes. Now it looked
dreary and desolate—forsaken. A fit
dwelling place for bats and owls.
Where they can hold there undisturbed
orgies, until frightened aw.iy by the po*
riodical Camp Meeting a twelve months
hence.
A sudden bend in the road, and down
a declivity, and we found ourselves upon
the margiu ot the river, at the foot of
•he- McKnight bridge, and face to fact
with a candidate for the Legislature that
we thought snugly in quarters at Com
yers. We were all surprised—Zachry
and myself, the candidate, and a South
river voter that tho candidate had been
treating' to watermelons. No more
“dead earnest work” than that. It re
minded me of ol 1 Davy Crockett’s elec
tioneering. During his candidacy he
was always on the wingj and in his day
whisky drinking was more general, but
not so debasing as at this day. He felt
satisfied that every man ho met would
take a drink, and lie was always nrepar-
ed to offer it; and about ninety nine out
of every hundred that took a pull at old
Davy’s bottle had to throw out a quid of
tobacco. Old Davy was a sharp old
coon, and such a thing didn’t pass his
notice. So after the drinking party had
wiped his mouth, he would hand him a
plug of tobacco, and say : “Here, my
friend, 1 never like to leave a neighbor
poorer than I found him—have a chaw.”
The Judge is not a cliewer, but we hope
he will take the hint. Watermelons are
so cheap that a man can hardly afford to
throw away a chaw for a ,melon. So
provide yourself with a plug. It was
here that Zach. tried to trade our rear
mule,but as in many other cases the boot
was on the wiong foot, aud wo limped
off satisfied that Conyers had never turn
ed out a mere wide aw; ke or enterpris.
ing candidate. From later accounts we
heard he done a good days work.
By nine o’clock we had reached the
“Zachry Farm” and received a hearty
welcome from Mr. Jiiq. D. Hay and lady.
From that time until noon we spent in
walking over the farm. Mr. Hay has
about 75 acres in cotton and as much in
corn. His cotton is on the liiglf lands
and his corn on the bottoms. A splem
did arrangement tor the season we have
had; and I believe I can safely say that
no finer crops ever grew in Rockdale
county. With no disaster he will make
5) bales of ootten and near a 1,000
bushels of corn. Who will say that that
isn’t a splendid four horse farm. With
no disaster ha will make more than he
can gather. Texas could do no better.
I don’t doubt there being other just as
fine forms in the county, but I haven’t
been about enough to have seen them.
I only hope that every farmer in the
county will make as good a showing.
Tiling ourselves completely down, we
returned to the house and partook of a
most excellent dinner, the handiwork of
Mrs. Hay. We don’t get such dinners
every day. buch a dinner as we got is
worth the praise of a page or two ; and
if I ever write a novel, I will hear that
dinner in mind, and set it bofore some of I
my‘fanciful lords and ladies as a “feast
of reason."
It was here that Miss Bcttie Hendrick
showed us some. beautiful citron pre
serves. I would say something of the
beautiful designs, but bb thoy will be on
exhibition at our County Fair I won’t
foreslall any praise but predict for them
a premium.
I would like to dwell at some length
on the beauties ot Capt. Zachry’s coun
try place: bis large and commodious
dwelling, excellent water, fine orchard,
vineyard, nnd beautiful grove, but I have
ndreatly made this lifter of such length
that 1 tear it will not be published.
On our return we had a glimpse ot B.
N. McKuight’s beautiful place, and
learned that the Duke of Sheffield had
jusi taken his departure, following close
in the tracks of our City candidate. Wo
hope they supped together in the Cut
Off and divided spoils.
