Our Sort of Farmer.
Mr John Bonner of Carroll coun*
ty is our sort of a farmer. We have
some few ,. of , the ,, same sort . in r. liar, is ■
county and we are glad to believe
iht'ir number is yearly increasing,
In theCarrollton Times of last week
Mr. Bo nr. n r says; —
We are about done work a id
done threshing. Wheat is hardly
a half crop and oats about trie same
on poor ground. The sample of
wheat laid upon yoitr taple was
sown the ‘2nd of March on low
black bottom and out tbe 6th ot
July, find no rust. Tbe sample
of forward rust proof oats was
sown the 1st of March on low wet
bottom ir.l cat the 18th of June
and no rust. If any of our farmers
want forward rust proof oatB to
sow, I can share 1,00b bushels.
I have cotton breast high, with.,
out gnaho, plenty cif roasting ears
in the corn field, without guano.—
I ain still selling corn, meat, lard
and flour. When the fall ol the
year comes I shall owe nothing for
guaho, nothing for meat or fiour,i
nor dry goods nor groceries.
I have plenty of good bogs to
make plenty of meat, 400 acres
iii a good pasture for my sheef) and
hogs and cattle and horses and
mules to range over. JMy experi¬
ence is, that w'itn plenty of corn
you have plenty of everything else,
fat bogs, horses, males, and chick¬
ens.
1 s'lift’l plant otie acre in corn he'd

Tuesday the 12 h of July, if not
proyidcniially hin lered. Have
planted as iato as the 17th of July,
liad roasting ears and beans fend
peas and cucumbers till fro«t.
J hope our far in era will the nrxi
year buy less guaTro, h-'ss corn and
tneai, plant less cotton and lend il
Letter, plant more corn and peas
nnd p‘flattie*?, sow more oats, and
mors whenl and row it sooner and

My uni!:o is coir, r.ibi meat n.d

What He ThtnJzs of Florida.
We find the following from George
Woods, in tho Hawkiobville Dispatch:
Of course wo did not see much of Flor¬
ida, but we made it oor bo-iness to talk
with everybody we met—white and black
—provided they were living in the State,
and at least two-thirds of tho immigrants
we met were disappointed nnd dissatisfied,
and would sell out ana loave on the first
opportunity. They had found Florida
greatly overrated. It wus not a conntry
abonding iii magnificent orange groves,
vegetable farms and flower gardens. To
raise an orange grovo requires years of
attentive labor and expense, and then, if
some rich N orthern tourist or capitalist
should come along and want an orange
grove, you might sell to him and get pay
for your time and labor. We eaw only
a few who had been shipping vegeta¬
bles to the North, and they had found it
an unprofitable business. Admitting that
we saw a small portion of Florida, but
that we talked with a large number of
Georgians and others who have eatt’ed in
Florida, we came to tho conclusion that
Florida has but few inducements to offe r
a pebi man to sell out and move to that
State with bis family. If he should move
there without having visited tbe country,
and learned something about its soil and
climate, bs will very likely soon become
dissatisfied and his family will pine for
their old home. After spending a year or
two he will move away from the State,
and perhaps return to his old home a ead
der but wiser man. Thn3 he will have
moved twice, and “two moves are tquaj
to one barn.” In other words, te move
to Florida and then move back, be might
as wall have been burned out- Wo wibh
to do justice to Florida. We have many
friends and patrons in the State and can
appreciate them, but candor compels ns
to aay that we think Florida is a poor
conntry for a poor man. The rich can
enjoy it as a luxury.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER,
HAMILTON, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 22 , 1881 .
I Strong Position of Cotton.
Smith, Edward, & Cods Liverpool cir
CUiBr contains the following:
! i The prospect’s of onr market have not
I altered „ , much during the last month, but
: the most striking feature is the gradual
i narrowing of the visible supply, till at
lest the portion available for Great Brit
ain has fallen 23,000 Jbalea below last
year. Our,spinners ere supposed to hold
about tbs same Btock, 'and consumption
is, perhaps 3000 bales per week grtaTr
than laa* year. This is an extraordinary
development following up a crop of
800,000 bales larger than the previous ode
and it leads, as might be supposed, to a
more sanguine state of feeling that seem ¬
ed likely some time ago. It now seems
that six and a half million bales is hardly
more than the world needed; indeed, it
has furnished this country with less than
is required to keep our market stable in
the summer and autumn, consequently
people louk with less apprehension than
they did upon the chances of a monster
crop the next Besson. It cannot be dis¬
guised that we shall go through the au¬
tumn with a small stock, nnd that we
shall be liable to speculative attempts to
force up price, at the'same time we don’t
think that there will be real scarcity, for
spinners will run themselves entirely oat
of stock so long as they have to pay a
premium of 3 8.1 oh autumn cotton oyer
the new crop; besides America will likely
ship us a large balance of the remainder
of Iho crop, and perhaps the continent
may send a little cotton here if prices ad -
vance, as it is liberally supplied this
year. The main feature that will operate
against any great advance is the excellent
promise of the growing crop iu America.
All our Recounts tire highly favorable,
and the general opinion is that it looks
as well as last year, except being a little
backward. The report of the bureau giv¬
ing the increase of acreage at only 1 per
oent., and the condition (i par cent, be¬
low last yeat, is not confirmed by pri¬
vate advices, and we note that t ha
Chronicle since then put the increased
acreage at 5 per cent , which compares
v/ith what we hear privately. We should
say that the enormous increase of fertili¬
zers will also add materially to the
growth, and'all the indications at present I
are iu favor of a very large yield. So long
as his prospect is in front of tho market,
we think it would bo difficult to force np
prices on the mere chance of an autumn
squeeze, but on the other hand it must be
remembered that the steady demand of I |
the trade for at least 65,000 bales 'per
week, pooling upon a reducing slock for
sal®. Between the two form s our market
seems to have reached a condition of t qai i
noise which it will not ba cksy to disliVrti
for a timo.

On the-same evening about 7 o’clock he
took the pistol and went, to tho foot of

firing ten shots.* He then returned to his
boarding place and wiped the pistol dry
and wrapped it in his coat, and waited his

Our Public Schools,
No matter what may ho thought of 'the

tition for a while mauilcatcd, has about
died out and it is now regarded as the bo t
system Georgia ever had, while it is not
yet perfect. The public schools in this
county have been gradually increasing,
until this year there are 62 in the county,
In oiuor that the people may see what

Picnic at Blue Springs .
Editor Joubnai.; —
Last Saturday the Kith inst., in compa¬
ny with n large orowd of young men and
ladies, I attended a pinnio at Blue Springs.
After a pleasant dri ve of one and a half
hours, wc arrived at the picnic grounds.
It being early iu tho morning, very few
bad arrived, hot soon they began to
come in and by 11 o’clock a large Bud
reapi ctabie crowd of old Harris’s fairst
daughters nnd young men had patliefed
in the shady grovo near the B.’ne Spring.
A ho,,3e had hf ' en 'P re P ar6<3 •“<* ao<)C a
lively tune rang out on the morning
air and near tho place were crowda with
merry dancers <g ; r !o tr gage in tbr-| fa¬
mous quadrilla. ’J’hia inti-reslringamnse
raent continued nnfil near 1 o’clock when
dancing was suspended and dinner an.
n^rnced. Tffi’ crowd then gathered
« ror,:i ' 1 « vor y elaborate dinner spread
nnder tire oaks. An abundance of every
thing good to eat was on the ground, and
all soon satisfied their hunger. The la
die* deserve much credit for their at.teu
tion to the crowd at the table. Dinner
over, various kinds of amusements were
re-orted to for pastime, croquette Ac.
old men carne together and talked
about the crop*, dry weather Ac. The
on ng men nod Indies strolled through
be prove cr took seats in the hnggies,
and discoursed tbe great subject—lova.
Al 2 o,clock dancing was resumed and
continued fill the sun was sinking in tho
we t, when the musio ceased; danoing was
suspended; fair maidens were stored away
in the various vedioles; a last adieu spo
spoken, the handkerchief waived and all
ra’nrn d home well satisfied with the days
pleasure
The crops, as far as Been, ere suffer

Picnic at Florence’s Saw Mill,
Ed. JouitNAi,: —
Last Saturday, 9th inst, was a day of
days with the people about Audersous
Gap, of all ages, sizes and sexes, Tho
sun rose that morning above the gigantic
hil’.a uploading his rays in a halo of golden
light, presenting a landscape, most beau
tifnl to the eariiest who arrived at the
designated spot. Tbo place was roman -
tio indeed, being in a deep ravine with a
lofty hill r.n sitter sido—accommodated
with a limpid streamlet which ebbing
tranquilly down its rugged track, was not
only gazed on with delight, but furniobod
its thronged borders with cool mountain
water. There w::i in atiendaricc about
two hundred people, and about equally
divided, one half being composed of Ear
ris, and tho oilier of Meri wi ther people.
Their lining go equally divided 1 gin* , 1
wus owing to tho place being inst an tbo
county line. This merry heat , v/ri -< •*- | ,
postd of farmers. Ho oaodKalo except
for matrimony to snb-ih ride the consol
Mated farmers and huddle .bom in groups
in some shade to talk politics. No
Demcgthnes or Cicero, like a cracked I
born was son a ding from a stump to get
their hands in somebodys pocket. There
was a spacious platform J erected iu a
beautiful shade, on which they danced
when they felt jjke it. Twelve o’clock
came on and dinner was announced, wine,
tho quest seemed to ho more coi solid at
ed, gathering around the lengthy tuble j
which groaned under the hospitalities of j
the good old farmers. Our music in tho
evening consisted of beautiful soDgs ac ¬
companied by the guitar. Though the
day was quite warm, erory effort to make
its pleavarrt one to the young folks, was
crown—-i with success.
