We thiuk it right and proper
that we should occasionally drop
a line or two of encouragement
through the colimun of the Her
ald to our worthy correspondents
who have so often and kindly con
tributed to its columns, and to
assure them their kindness is
much appreciated, and we desire
those who have contributed in
the past and who desire to do
so in the future, to feel that there
is nothiug which we appcciate
more highly than a well-written

Mr. Editor : It has been »omp time
since we appeared in your valna-
able columns. Perhaps it is well,
tor much that is written amounts
to but little; but through your
courtesy and kindness you have
entered my name upon your list
of contributors. Now should you
deem it proper to cast this article
into the scrap-basket, it will give
no offense whatever.
On Sunday the 16th of June,we
left the pleasant little village of
Howurd, for the purpose of spend
ing a short vacation among our
relatives and triends of Macon and
Houston couuties, and like almost,
ail other pedagogues, cur antici
pations of pleasuse were very great,
Thus tar our trip has been one of
much felicity. We have enjoyed
communication to the Herald
No ono deed boubt but that it will Lr the luxuries that the farmer
receive our careful attention; it | gardens and orchards of this cli-j| JU ^ n
ifl what we want and what the mtt t e Cttn afford. We
a great many fine crops. All the
people need, is a good local pa-
paper, Our readers, we trust,will
remember that the editor alone
cannot obtain all the news which
thran8pire throughout the county,
hut let our friends continue to send
us local items, or correspondence
of any good cause aud we guar
antee their labor* well rewarded,
We want the people to (eel that
this ie their paper, atid.ralley to
its support,
ITEMS FROM TA1 HOT
Farm Notes.—Fain is much
needed to mature the present crop
of earn.
—If the seasons arc propitious
from now on, a fine yield of both
cotton aud corn may he hoped for.
—Mr. J. Q. Adams, of Bal-
dwinville, has a tobacco plant
supporting leaves twenty two inch
es wide and thirty-seven iu length.
We suggest tobacco worm immi
gration.
Educational,—Every district in
the county has one or more schools
in it.
— Presiding Elder Wyun,made,
at l’rattshurg last week, the most
convincing speech in favor of edu
cation, to which we have ever
listened.
Theatre.—The “Mount Zion
Amuteura” will give a perform
ance soon, for the hdnefit of the
church at that place.
Organ.—Mount Zion Sabbath
school wants an organ.- That’s
right, “keep up appearances.
Picnic.—It was anuounced that
one of these things would “turn
up” at Prattshurg, last Friday,
and before the sun had risen—
while yet in the golden east, the
morning star, like some fair pearl
over-laid with amber was ti inkling
his so ft lamp,the people were hur-
rying themselves to get to this
place of pleasure. At ten o’clock,
a large crowd had collected from
every direction. Music was fur
nished by the Carsonville String
Band. Much can be said in praise
of the music, The melodious
farmers with whom we have con
versed, express themselves as be
ing perfectly satisfied with their
crops. They say it has been a
very favorable spring to stait field
crops and unsurpassed for small
grain and gardens. Every man
who had a wheat field is happy
over the tact that he can have cake
without buying Western flour.
Those who had oat fields, don’t
care a tig now for the Western
shelled, aud often badly spoiled
corn. The gardeners generally
and universally laugh with their
luxurient crops of all the vegeta
bles of the (diuiate.
The agricultural people of Ma
con county havo met and decided
that they have plenty of every
thing such as pretty women, fine
babies, good looking men and
meek lambs,frolicsome goats,hogs,
horses, cattle, fowls aod farm pro
ducts, aud all other commodities
necessary to constitute a fair. We
learn that they will have the fair
in Marshal ville, some time in July.
It will doubtless be a success.
On last Sabbath evening we at
tended a singing at Garden Val
ley, Ga. The evening was devot
ed to music, fun,love-making and
such other innocent- amusements
as usually form a part of such oc
casions. Old Cupid played his
part will, and we think that the
happy hours of that evening will
be long remembered by many of
the young people. W. A. D.

new discovery or invention.
Mr. Editer, 1 am pleuscd to inform
you and your readers of some new
improvements going ifp at Judge
People's mill, by Mr. W. T. liespess,
of Bernesville. Jlfr. R.,is now build
ing a substantial gin-house and screw
attached to the Judge’s mill. The
screw, huwevc, will be a new inven
tion ; the whole outfit will be made
strains responsive toevery thought entirely ot wood, The Judge says
ah when the wind iu a pensive
mood, waken« an Aeolian harp,
found refuge iu every cultivated
ear. But the most importauV pai t
of the occasion was that splendid
dinner, ' About twelve-aud-a-hall
o’clock, the word dinner fell, up
on our ears, like echoes of an old
refrain, that, heard in childhood,
haunts our ripen years. We will
feel under .lasting obligations to
the young lady who kindly offered
us a plate of chicken-pyc,and pro
posed to hold it while we went on
an errand; and we never will for
get how we lelt when we looked
back and saw three gentlemen (?)
experimenting, to see which could
eat the most of it..

when this machinery is put in opera
tion, it will no doubt gin and pack
twenty bale of cotton per diem, and
further says they anticipate to have
it completed by the middle ol July,
in order to be ready for ginning, as
Mr. Allen and Mr Mullen’s crop will
be open sufficient to have four or live
bales out by that time, for our lricud
the Judge, is betting heavy on their
crop. The Judge is an industrious
and very intelligent old gontleman.
he intends to gin for the public and
grind for the public and discharge all
the duties pertaining to said gin and
mill Himself. We think it
hard for a man of his age to take
charge of so much business at once.
The Judge is not only a good gimu-r
and miller hut a splondid hand to
raise fine hogs, chickens, ducks etc.
Ilo has a sow ol which gave birthto !

Mr. Editor, iii.■ , ouiig people and(
It Is only by keeping the bttt arfb-kt of thofr
kind, even if they do not pay tho largest
immediate profit, that a permanent business
is built up. Keep the best sonp, the best
starch, the best spices, the best baking powder,
and 60 on through the whole list. Wo have
known a grocer to lose a customer whose
trade was worth a hundred and fifty dollars
a year clear profit to him, just because be
would not supply a baking powder that WM
demanded by the best trade.

It Is a first-class article, will do all w#
claim for It, and never foils
to work WELL.
It is a credit to any merchant's utock, and Ifl
one of the few good things he can confidently
recommend to every customer. It will sell
itself after ono trial, for lta great merits an
».q m appreciated. And not only so, but one
lady using it will tell others of tho wonderftil
properties of Sea Foam, and where it can be
purchased, aud so tho Udo of trade will
gradually but surely set toward the enterpris
ing grocer who keeps it in stock. Actually,
tho ladies of Georgia where Sea Foam has
beeh Introduced, are noted for making better
bread, biscuit, com cakes, and other cookery
than can be found anywhere else, and they
tfive Sea Foam the errdit, and won’t Use any
other baking preparation. And it it not to bo
Vtondtred at, rdhtr, for SEA FoaM
NEVER FAILS

Moro than half the complaints of bad flour
arise from the use of common baking powders,
which hot Infrequently make the best of flonr
