1 he streets and street cars are m . per

huge electric lights placed on the sumit
of iron towers over a hundred feet high.
Fine New York, Boston and foreign
steamers, as line and elegant as the tern

sister cities, if not ahead. We advanced
through (he perpetual pines and bay
bushes till we came to the little town of
Jessup. It is on a boom somewhat and
may make a city. The land sell.) around
there for 25 cents per acre, (sorry to say
they charge a fellow 25 cents to see a
piece of Georgia [line burn there). From
there we went forty miles through the
blazed pines where the rosin had been
taken from them and earned to the Uu
pentino still, till at 9 p. m. we tolled in
to the pleasant atmosphere and beautiful
city of Brunswick, where the steam boats i
come in throwing didance and the ears
brush the side walks of the hotels. I: is
a most beautiful city, consisting of live j
thousand inhabitants. Ils streets are |
never muddy, being f rined of oyster
shells. It has two artesian wells that
are ns fine as any in Georgia, and has
the third best harbor that borders the
Atlantic coast. The trees are always
green. Oranges, palms, magnolias, pal
mvUus are seen growing iu any abun¬
dance. There are more than a dozen

If farmers ‘had the Burt oat they would
never complain of having them winter
killed. Sown the 1st day of Marcli they
can be cut by the middle of June.
The stock law extends from near Aus
gusta to Athens, and the workings of the
same will soon be known. But, like pro¬
hibition coun ties, those that have tried
it never go back.
Where is the old man with his old
fashioned hickory axe handles to sell ?
lie ought not to Jet these gourd-handle
; helves crowd him to the wall, but like a
j mail come to the surface; we want to see
you.
The people everywhere need relief
frem their burdens, and one relief will
bo the reduction of taxes, and if prohibi¬
tion of the liquor trafie will assist in this
much-desired reformation, God speed the
day.
There is great danger of our farmer*
losing stock of the good old-fashion
peaches in their desire to get the earlier

higher priced than those iu market in
July.
In regard to the matter of guano, wo

year ban been one of wonderful weather,
ami the above is hardly worth noting.
What is the New Orleans exposition
to tho great mils* of our people? They
are not there, nor have they anything on
exhibition. The one thing needful pre¬
vent* a display of their persons ivmlchat
eles and the great fdiow, with ita leissonn
and instructions, i* virtually lost. Our
harps are indeed upon the willows hung.
ONE reason of the hard times is, in our
judgment, too great art outlay to the size
of income; too many sewing machines
ami steam engines for the amount of
work to do; too rnaay high-priced books
in the hands of the agents—fruit trees
ditto ; too many buggies bought without
the State, and too much display of flum
nerry generally.
