Weather Report, Arc.—l). M. W,
Messrs Editors— Herewith I l and
you my weather report for December ’B2 (
and ’B3, and the average for the year 18-
82 and 1883 :
For December, 1883, Ilaiu fall, 5j ina.
Mean Temperature, GOi degs.
Maximum do 80 deg*
Minimum, do 2G deg*.
For ISB2.
Rainfall, 0i inches j
Mean Temperature, -10 degs. |
Maximum do 75 degs.
Minimum do 24 degs.
Tor the year 1883.
Rainfall, 48] inches.
Mean Temperature, 09 7-9 degs.
Maximum, do 100 degs.
Minimum, do 20 degs.
For 1882.
Rainfall, 57 3-10 it dies, j
Mean Temperature, 09 degs.
Maximum, 90 degs.
Minimum, 21 degs.
Os the rain for December, ’B3, three
inohes fell on the night of the 31st. 'This
brings the protracted aud serious drouth
of our section to a close. All animated
nature is, or ought to be, rejoiced. The
rain Authorities owo us about 15 inches of
rain for ’B2 and ’B3, which we can very
well afford to carry over now, and have
turned over the accounts to tho Bailiff to
be collected in installmoutx fur .June, Ju
ly and August, 1881.
As a protection againstdrouth next fall,
c specially for bogs, I would recommend the
planting largely of citron,commonly called
pic melon, in corn fields and pinder patch
es. They grow and produce well on poor
laid, w ithout interfering with other crops.
They are better keepers in tbo field and
housed than pumpkins, and are said to be
equally ns valuable as food tor cows and
hogs. Mr. IV. 11. Douglass informed me
that his hogs did well in the field this fall
for two months without a drop of water,
iheir only substitute being tlieso melons
left ill the field, after hauling out a win
ter supply for his milch cows and oxen.
This reminds me that 1 recoired a pack
age of citron seed on the Christinas tice
at Damascus. Thanks to the donor.
1 have had hut few responses to my gin
and cotton bales request. I will now re
new it, and ask parties outs'do of the
county to return mo the number of bales
ginned from Early. A verbal report left
at Blakely, Arlington or Damascus, or a
postal card, which will cost you only one
cent, w ill answer the purpose. Aud if |
your giu house lias been burned, icport
that also, aud the number of bales burned.
J will be greatly obliged for these statis
ties, which will be a source of information
for our own people, and other people too.
About two weeks ago hog killing was
the great hilarity of our section, and was 1
really a Christmas harbinger. But elon
gated faces arc now seen, which are afraid '
to tackle the ponderous piles packed away
Dr. D. uglass killed ten hogs weighing
2000 pounds; Zack Webb killed 5 weigh
ing 10S6 pounds; Saudcrs Waller killed
5 weighing 1100 pounds, and the writer 3
weighing GOO pouns. John B. Davis had
18 gallons of lard from seven hogs. The
above arc piney woods statistics, now let
us bear from Blakely aud the Oak Ridge.
Amid so much bones, and cracklings,
and saumge, I am too full for further ut
terance. More hereafter.
Respectfully, D. M. W.

w Tile Christmas Tree. *
With one accord, all who attondim the
Baptist Sabbath School Christmas Tree,
at the Chuach, last Thursday night, pro
nounce it the best thing of its kind ever
spen in Blakely. The ladies Lad worked
liard and faithfully on it and had succeed
ed in preparing an interesting programme. |
There were two trees; one on each side of i
the stage erected in front of the pulpit.
The church was handsomely decorated aud ,
ornamented with paintings and the whole*
1 scene was one of splendor and magnifi
cence. The exercises began about 7:30*
o’clock and were opened with some splen
ded music from a choir organized for the
the occasion. Then came some interes
ting exercises from the Sabbath School
; children, all of which were performed in
I a manner highly creditable to themselves
1 and to the noble lady who prepared them
for their duties. The young ladffs who
took part in tho exceed
ingly beautiful, glan
ces were cast as they stood
grouped on the tho
“white robed of the
The then
. and as name was called each
heart was by tho rcceip>t of
some token from loved ones. Each mem
ber • f the school received a present, and
none went away disappointed. The
young ladies were remembered by the
young men, who took this opportunity of
showing their appreciation of their favor
ites. The house was orowded with spec
tators, who were delighted with the en
tertainment. We hear tho name of Mrs.
Badger, who was the primo mover in this
affair, spoken of in the highest terms of
praise for the important part which she
took in the exercises. Indeed all the
ladies deserve a big puff for their noble,
persevering efforts which were so bounti
fully crowned tfith success.
NOTES.
Master EugcncTH htower and Littles;
Miss Currie Badger acted their parts ex
ceedingly wel aud received much praise.
The presents were numerous, aud many
of them exceedingly beautiful.
The ladies looked their loveliest, and
tho young men were put upon their mettle.
The children were happy, and will
look forwaid to the next annual jubilee
with much expectancy.
Dr. B. R. Dostor and Dr. Will Standi
fer called off tho presents in firm and
clear tones so that all could hear.
Quite a number of visitors from a dis
tance attended and enjoyed themselves
hugely.

Coi.qi.itt, G.v., Dec. 27, 1883.
Messrs. Editors —Last evening was
much enjoyed by those who look an inter
est in the Christmas tree at this place,
which was arranged in the church. The
committee to arrange the presents met
promptly at three, i\ M-, and was busily
employed till six. During the time sev
eral costly and many handsome presents
were hung upon the tree. At seven the
doors of the church were opened and soon
the spacious room was filled to overflow
ing. Col. C. C. Bush, then announced,
according to a previous selection by the
com in it tee, Mis» Dora Loving would play
u Christmas cauil. The piece was appro
priate, and most elegantly played, after
which each gift was promptly handed to
its owner by Mr. J. W. Loving, who per
sonated Old Santa Claus, and who returns
thanks to the largo crowd for their splen
did behavior. Mrs. P. C. Wilkin, Mrs.
V. B. Vaughn, Misses Lizzie Sheffield,
Katie Calhoun, Alice Phillips, and Miss
Lizzie Cowart are among those who re
ceived the most valuable presents. The
Plow-Boy, too, received several gifts, one
of which was a fine tooth comb, thanks,
nothing wrong.
Our town has Leon unusually quiet,not
; one drunk man has yet been seen ambulat
ing the streets.
Most planters in this section are prepar
ing to sow grain; they say the germinating
showers are in time.
