An Interesting Correspondence on the
Bubject-
Hoboken, N. J. July 18,1876.
To the Immigration Society, Bainbridge
Georgia:
I take the liberty of writing you thia
letter, hoping you will give me the fol
lowing information—namely, myself and
family are thinking of emigrating
South, with the expectation of making a
home for ourselves in the future. - What
would be my prospects and inducements
in your locality, as to wages paid garden
ers and farmers ? I have two boys, one
17, the other 15, also two girls, one 11,the
other 7, with my mother, my wife being
dead. I have had some 5 years experience
in raising vegetables and farm crops in
the vicinity of New York. I have good
written references as to honesty, sobriety,
industry, &c. Would owners of farms
in your locality furnish respectable fami
lies with farm or farms to work on shares,
the owners also furnishing the renter a
horse or team, with some tools, &c.,. that
would be required to work the land-? - I
have been offered the above terms””!?' I
would emigrate to Texas, but I do not
want to move so far from the Atlantic
seaboard.
If you can give me information to tbe
above, or any other that you may think
would be of benefit to a family emigrat
ing to your State, I shall be very thankful
to you for such information; also price of
land, soil, health, schools, churches, mar
kets, &c. Hoping to receive a reply, and
that you will pardon me for troubling
you for the same, I remain very respect
fully your obedient servant,
Fkedwick H. Smith.
Hoboken,Hudson Co., New Jersey.
Office Immigration Society.
Bainbridge, Ga., July 24, 1876.
Mr Fred wick II. Smith,
Hoboken, N. J.
Dear Sir:—We are pleased to receive
your letter of inquiry, and to reply to it
at once—believing, as we do, that this
section of the South presents unusual ad
vantages to emigrants from a Northern
'atitude.
In order that the replies to your inqui
ries may meet the eyes of othe’s, looking
for Southern homes, we have taken the
liberty of publishing your letter and tin-
answer in our home paper, a copy of
which we send you.
Replying directly to your first inter
rogatory we will state, that there is no
gardening done in the immediate vicinity
for market purposes, but facilities are
good for shipment, both by river and rail,
and this will in time become a business of
much profit.
Our people here have always grown
“field crops,” and are slow to take hold
of new sources of money; and your ex
perience would be of vain*, if directed to
the- wmwth of vegetables.
afiMinily the size of yours,or one larger,
could easily secure a home on a farm,
either as tenants or renters, with horses
and implements furnished if desired, this
being the usual mode in which our lands
are cultivated. You could with the aid
of your sons run a one or two horse farm,
cultivating fifty or sixty acres of land,
which if planted in corn and cotton,
would yield a gross ineotne of from eight
hundred to one thousand dollars, with
ordinary seasons, and in some instances
much more may be realized with a diver
sified crop with good management.
Farming lands are quite cheap, ranging
from two to four dollars per acre for fair
average lands, the best not selling for more
than five to eight dollars per acre, in
quantities to suit purchasers,—upon good
terms.
We have a variety of se lls, tne light
gray, level pinelands predominating. This
is easily cleared and susceptible of high
cultivation and irapnvement. We have,
also, large acres of rolling clay lands, well
watered by springs and creeks of purest
water.
Stock of all kinds do well with little
care, and are quite profitable, particularly
sheep and cattle, for which there is a
ready and acccsable market.
Almost any section presents fair ad
vantages for schools and churches, and
the State guarantees three months tuition
free, by competent teacher?.
The society is as good as is found in
agricultural sections generally.
The county is divided North and South
by a navigable river, on which boats run
daily, and the Rail Road due west from
Savannah, Georgia, terminates at Bain
bridge, the county site, thus giving the
greatest facilities of transportation to
emigrants from any direction.
The healthfulness of the county is as
good as is found in the South. During
;he months of July, August and Septem
ber, in some sections, there is some prev
alence of chills, not so severe though as
is often witnessed on the Hudson and
Delaware.
In politics, the county is Democratic
araoug the whites, and there is no ostra
cism on account of political creed, and a
Northern man is as safe in this section as
he would be at Hoboken or New York.
An authorized agent of a colony look
ing for homes in our country, would be
welcomed by our people generally, and
the T mtnigration Society would take
pleasure in showing him the country free
of aU expense. We may add that lands
may be bought in quantities to suit
large or smal colonies, and conclude by
saying—in proof of the desirableness of
this country—that five hundred dollars in
cash will secure a comfortable home in
the most desirable communities.
Very respectfully

Some Bainbridge Girls go on a Fo
ray Against tbe Finny Tribe.
Five Bainbridge young ladies, whose
innate modesty we shall not outrage by
mentldbing names, went on a fishing frol
ic last Tuesday afternoon. They had two
poles among the crowd, and each was rig
ged ou*. in i light calico dress. They
went down to the river near the old
Barge Yard. As soon as they got to the
river they looked for * good place to sit
down, but finding the water too deep
moved down stream a little where it was
shallow, and where they could seg the lit
tle fish swimming around. - ‘Oh„ I see
one!” “Where?” “There!” “Oh, my,
so he is ; lets catch him.” “Who’s got
them baits ?” “Oh get off my pole.” “Sa
rah please put this hook on for me,” were
some of the expressions used, and in s
tone calculated to frighten Bill Crawford’s
horse at his front gate—provided the said
horse bad been there.
Then one of the ladies, a little braver
than the rest, volunteered to put a worm
on a hook. By an alraos' superhuman
effort a “bait” was strung oat he hook,
and then the “throw in” cofite with a
splash like the launching of a wash tub.
While this hook was being made reauy,
the balance of the modern female Wal
tons were crowding around in breathless
anxiety awaiting the result. Then a sma 1
roach came along and nibbled the bait.
They all saw it at once, and “jerk” sung
out in a united chorus. The one holding
the pole did as she was directed, and with
such a “jerk” that the little fish would
have landed in the neighborhood of the
old College, only he didn't take hold good.
Finally, however, one did swallow the
bait, and the young lady pxclaimed “some
thing’s got my hook !” Four voices re.
peated the order to “jerk,” as they rush
ed to the rescue. The girl with the “bite”
gave a spasmodic pull, and tlic lutle fish
was landed about forty feet up the hill.
Then they all held up their skirts and
gathered about that minnow, one all the
time holding the line as if she had a mis
chief-bent sir william goat fastened to it.
They talked it over: “How’ll we get
him off ?” “Ain’t he pretty.” “Poor
little thing ; lets put it back.” “Good
gracious ! I’m afraid of it.” They took a
pair of scissors and cut off the line about
a foot from the fish’s muoth.
They tried for another “bite,” but the
sun came down ami burnt their backs and
necks, and, after having unanimously
agreed that they all had headache, threw
pway their poles and lines, went up the
hill under the shade of a friendly tree
where they sat down to lunch. They then
disposed of enough light-bread, cold beef
steak and hard boiled eggs to give a wood
horse the night mare, after which they
compared notes about their beaux until
nearly sun down, when they slowly pro
ceeded home and expressed themselves
as having had a good time, but the river
was too full and the fish wouldn’t bite.

My Dear Russell:
With one of the most charming coun
ties in the South, I know the good people
of dear old Decatur are suffering many
afflictions. You need more population
with a plenty of cash. I believe X will
send 50,000 good settlers to Florida and
South West Georgia this winter. At my
Florida Land Office 229 Broadway N. Y.
city, throngs of people are daily telling
me of their plans to “go South” in the
Fall. And while I sell them large tracts
of Florida lands, I never forget the great
advantages that can r>e presented by good
old mother, grand old Georgia. Through
the Democrat, tell your people, for me,
to get ready for the “flood” of people
going South. The Florida New Yorker is
doing a great work in this respect. Your
old friend

Bainbridge.
A writer in the Tallahassee Floridian,
who has been on a trip through our little
city, and who we think is Judge H. C.
Rippey, thus speaks of Bainbridge :
“The Flint is a beautiful river up to
Bainbridge, and steamers can navigate it
at all seasons of the year. There are ex
cellent lands along its banks, but in many
places they overflow in very wet seasons.
There are some fine locations on the river
that can be had cheap, that magnificent
farms could be made on.
Bainbridge, fifty miles by river above
Chattahoochee, is a delightful located
place, on a high bluff, and is surrounded
by a fine farming country. There are
some nice public and private buildings,
and the people are noted for their hospi
tality and kindness.
“We stopped there three hours, and I
met many citizens, who all seemed very
anxious to have a railroad corstructed
from Eufaula via Bainbridge to Tallahas
see. I am informed that the greater por
tion of the road between Eufaula and
Bainbridge is graded. It seems to me
that the citizens along the proposed route
ought to be doing everything in their pow
er to have it constructed.
Base Ball
In answer to the challenge sent the Oc
cidental club, of Quincy, by the Star Club,
of this city, the former write that owing
to the fact that some of their members can
not get away, it will be impossible f^r
them to come. We are sorry, as we wish
ed to see these two club3 cross bats.
A correspondence is now going on be
tween the Stars and some other clubs,
end we mw have a game yet.
J [At the request of._the Star Base Ball
Lciub, we copy the following communica
tions from the Quincy Journal ofjthe 20tb
inst Editors Democrat.]
[Communication. ]
Qcixct, Fla-, July 11th, 1878.
Dear Sin: We beg that you will cor
rect the statement made in the last issue
of the Bainbridge Democrat, in regard
to the Star Club challenging the Occiden
tals to play them a match game of base
ball on the 4th of July. In the first place
no challenge has passed between tbe Stars
and Occidentals this season. Mr. Graves,
of the Stars, wrote Mr. Ray, of the Occi
dentals, stating that the Stars would like
to play us a game of ball on the 4th in
Bainbridge. We accepted this round
about invitation and made all necessary
arrangements to play them on the 4th.
Soon "after we had written our acceptance
we received another communication from
the Stars stating that the Thomasville
club had challenged them and that they
were forced to play them. We then gave
up all idea o ’ playing the Stars on the 4th
and extended an invitation to the Ward
County Club, which was accepted. We
then received a third communication from
th° Stars stating "that if ice tcould come up
to Bainbridge on. the 4th, that perhaps, they
could get up a nine to play us.” While we
are anxious to play the stars, we could
not accept such an invitation even if we
had not made arrangements to play the
Ward County Club. If the Stars think
the Occidentals reluctant in playing them
let them challenge and be certain.
OCCIDENTALS.
Bainbridoe Ga., July 17, 1876.
Editort Journal:
In looking over the last number of your
paper, I was both pained and surprised at
the appearance of the above card, and I
now respectfully ask tbe use of your col
umns to reply, briefly, on the part of the
Star Base Ball Club.
I was pained because the communica
tion exhibited more feeling—even though
Us statements were entirely correct—than the
case and its attending circumstances
warranted. I was surprised, because the
communication, I think, was altogether
unnecessary and has served no good pur
pose. But, gentlemen, we have no dispo
sition, as a club or individuals, to enter
into crimination or recrimination, and
sincerely regret that the tone and temper
of the above card forces in vindication
of our acts as a club, and a party of gen
tlemen, to enter here a protest against the
inaccuracies used against us.
The plain facts in the case are these :
Mr. Graves, one of the members of our
club, In a private letter to Mr. Ray, of
the Occidentals, said that the Stars would
like to play hi3 club. This was simply a
statement from Mr. Graves to Mr. Ray as
from one friend to another, which was
not intended as a “challenge,” either di
rect or “round about”—and indeed Mr.
Graves nor any other individual member,
has no right to extend a challenge for this
club. A day or two after this letter was
mailed, the Stars had a meeting and voted
to challenge the Thomasville club. While
we were awaiting an answer from Thom
asville, Mr Graves received a letter from
Mr. Ray, sayiDg that he had heard the
Stars intended to challenge the Occiden
tals ; that he hoped they would, as “the
boys” were anxious to come ; he also sta
ted that if the Stars Intended to play the
Thomasville club he would come up, as
he had to be here on the Fourth himself,
and suggesting that the Stars invite Mr.
Woodbery to play with them. (Mr. Ray is
a member of this club.) Mr. Graves an
swered this letter stating that we had al
ready challenged the Thomasville cluo,
and were awaiting an answer. The Thom
asville club, after keeping us waiting un
til a day or two before the Fourth, finally
answered and declined to come. Then
Mr. Graves, upon authority of the Club,
telegraphed to Mr. Ray, stating that if
the Occidentals would come up that pro
bably we could get up a friendly game.
This was not a challenge, but purely an
invitation to our town and the festivities
of the occasion—the reasons prompting
it being that we heard that a part of the
club would be here any way. There was
no challenge passed from the Stars to the
Occidentals, either formally orinforroerly,
“round about” or otherwise, and there
was no acceptance received from the Occi-
cidentals by the Stars.
The language of Mr. Ray’s 1 tter to Mr.
Graves, (heretofore quoted) and which
was received on Wednesday the 28th of
June, five days before the Fourth, shows
conclusively that there was no challenge,
as he was preparing to play with the 9tars
against the Thomasville club, and remark
ing in the same letter that the Occidentals
were expecting a challenge from the
Stars.
N«w, Messrs. Editors, these are the
facts in connection with the affair, which,
if it was necessary, we are peparei to
prove.
I now dismiss the whole matter, dis
claiming for m self and club any feeling
in the matter further than a desire to be
truly and fairly represented.
Very Respectfully and truly,
R. M. JOHNSTON.
President Star B. B. C.
Col Wm. 0- Fleming.
The Albany News, in speaking of Col.
Fleming’s letter to that paper declining
the use of his name as Elector for this
District, which we publish to-day, pays
the following handsome compliment to
that gentleman :
A sensible and patrioticletter from Col.
Fleming, in which he decl : ne3 to allow
the use of his name before to Atlanta Con
vention as Elector, appears on our first
page. Col. F. has reasons for the refusal,
and, of course, we can say no more. He
is a noble, self-sacrificing maD, and will
yet be called for loudly by his section to
serve a people who love and admire him
for his splendid qualities of mind and
heart.”

Speaking.
Messrs. Editor*: '
Give me room to tell what I saw on \a
recent visit to Mitchell county, of one
horse farming, and also what I learn
from the very best authority, of the same
kind of farming in Decatur county. I
give simply a statement of the crop and
yield and estimated yield:
Oats, 45 aerts plowed in last Ml and
now gathered (made) 675 bushels; corn,
17 acres, estimated in field (made) 278
bushels; sugar cane, f acre (estimated)—
820 gallons; cotton, 21 acres (estimated)
10 bales; sweet potatoes, 8 acres (estimat
ed) 500 bushels; ground peas—8 acres,
estimated value, with run of field, in rais
ing meat $200.00.
The only manure used on the above
crop was home-made, except a half ton of
guano. The hands employed, two color
ed boys at t2 50 for the two per month
and their board.
The Decatur county crop is as follows:
(all estimated) Com, 10 acres, 40 bushels
per acre, (made) 400 bushels; cotton, 10
ac es.bale to acre,10 bales; ground peas,10
acres, 500 bushels; 2} acres sugar cane, 25
barrels; 2) acres 3Weet potatoes, 500
bushels.
The above crop is made with one mule
and one regular hand—only a little extra
labor—manure used, home made.
The writer is not authorized to publish
the names of the above farmers, but if
any one should doubt the statement, you
may give the name of the writer, and he
will furnish the names of the farmers. If
they should find the statement not correct
after investigation, or seeing for them
selves, then let them publish a denial of
its truth.
The money value of either crop, at
current prices, would not be less than
$18,00 00. It will be observed too that an
estimate of the value of the garden, and
the butter on these farms is omitted.
How many in the county of Decatur
has done as well? Won’t you invite them
to speak out?
Decatur.
The Excursion to Jacksonville.
In another column will be found the ad
vertised schedule of the excursion to Florida,
which takes place on Monday the 14th of
August. It will be seen that parties going
from this point will leave on Monday, re
turning on Friday, and that the fare for the
round trip has been put at the low price of
§6, thus placing it within reach of all to
avail themselves of this truly delightful
trip.
Those who do go will never regret it, for
we know of no pleasanter excursion than this
will be. We hope to see a good crowd from
Bainbridge.

all farmers to secure one in time for the
