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.

Ga. 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. From Miller Count}-. 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.
