OUR IMMIGRANTS.

Mi J. S Brown, of Ware county, lo

pr sing journal, keenly alive to the in¬
terests of Georgia, is doing great ser¬
vice in advertising in this manner the
great resources of tfi# 3 : ate, and t>
that paper we are indebted for this
titnaiy letter.
The reader will observe that Mr. B.
is one of a colony of New Jersey peo¬
ple settled in Ware county, and he
speaks the feelings, experience and
opinion of the immigrant coming from
a Northern State. lie makes some
ex client poiu’s worthy tiie thought*
f <• I consideration of our people every
wln re. He says the people of Ware
county, contrary to expectation, have
been kind and cordial and there has
been i o reserve or haughtiness toward
the immigrants. '1 his is a strong point
icr Wme county, and we hope it rmey
be said of every county in thetSia.e,
for if we want to do a service to our
people our families'aud ourselves, we
must put aside prejudice ; not only i
it the offspring of ignorance, but it is
unmanly and ungenerous, and we can
;iiot hope* to invite good people iut<•
our sparsely populated land win re such
.a thing exists. Ol course we art; aware
of the fact that the people o! Dodge
and surrounding counili‘8 will give as
“kind and cordial reception to a
.good class of iipmigaants coming for
the same purpose as the New Jersey
people as any county in the State, and
we ('iffy {want an opportunity to prove
it. \Ve have as good land, as fine u
climate, as good health and equal fa¬
cilities with the b- st poini in south
-east Georgia, .exclusive ol Savannah
and we have schools and churches,and
ns much intelligence as wiU be found
in the average,community .in this pari
of the State ; and we have hospitality
aud a generous welcome for all well*
meaning persons who will come among

The fact is we would like to have a
<
lew dozen families from New Jersey
or any other ■State, who will come as
fully equipped for farming as our Jer¬
sey I riends ; vve will receive them all
i ight into our families, our schools, our
churches, our society—yea, into our
hearts, if they deseive it ; and wever.

How it Drifted Southward—A
Talk H'i.tJi one of tlie Founders.
Froiu the Atlanta Coustitutiou.
A few weeks ago one of the editors
of iIi*.* Constitution was coming south
on an ocean steamer bound for Suv
annuli. Among the ship’s passengers
ie noticed a Mr. Murphy, who was
from New Jersey, ;ijpl who was en
route for Ware county.
An acquaintance soon sprang up be¬
tween the tw’o, and Mr. Murphy gave a
history ol the re jS >ns that brought him
South.
He stated that he had 1ivh<] in Piain
fi'.ddj N. J , and owned a place tin re
that cost $i0,000, and was taxed for
that amount. He is a practical larmer,
w:tn an economical family no habits
of dissipation, and was considered a
good manager, In .spite of all he
could do, however, he fell behind and
was finally forced to put a mortgage
of $0,000 on his place. Since tlie mort¬
gage has had its grip on the place he
has been unable by the hardest work
aud strictest economy to support his
family and pay his inteiest. At length
an opportunity was offered him to se¬
cure, by a sort of exchange, five t thou
sand acres in Ware county. Georgia.
He determined to accept the opportu¬
nity, as the outlook in New Jersey was
s inplv desperate, and it could not be
worse in Georgia. He secured about
sixteen neighbors, who were m pretty
much his fix, and they agreed to come
with him.
He says that when it got out that
they were corning south, all their
friends united in dissuading them —
“I talked with hundreds of intelligent
men, whose opportunities for informa¬
tion seemqd to be good, and you are
first human being 1 have met who did
not discourage rne all tlieway through*
It may seem strange to you. but the
average opinion throughout New
England is that the Southern States
are about the same as Mexico, iu point
of morals, soc etv and lawlessness.—
It is believed that the people are bar¬
barians, and the stage of society ut¬
terly lawless and desperate. I do not
know how I shall find it, but I do noi
think it is as bad us they have de¬
scribed it to me at home. In any
event I and my friends a re going to
give Georgia a fair trial and do all we
can to make a good living and estab¬
lish ourselves as useful and respecta
ble citizens. II we can succeed in do¬
ing-th'is, we will be followed by givat
many of our friends in the nortn.—
There are thousands of good, hard¬
working farmers in that section who
want to get farms that are not crushed
under mortgages, and must be run
for the benefit of the mortgage hold¬
er.*
Mr. Murphy is an intelligent man,
and was very much encouraged at
what the Georgians on * the steamer
toldriikn. He laughed at the statement
that there is enough wasted on a Geor.
gia farm to support two Vermont farms
and said be guessed He and his friends
would try to save some of the wastage.
He goes to Georgia with the best oi
implements lor farming, and it may Vie
believed;thAt he will set a new pattern
to some of our Ware county farm¬
ers.
As our readers will doubtless b<
anxious to hear how the immigrants
were pleased with their new farms,we
present below a letter written to tlie
editor of the Constitution by one of
the most intelligent of the colonists —
It is a most readable lett< r, aud con¬
tains a lot of information that will in¬
terest our home people as well as our
friends in the north ;
Waycross, Ware co., Ga, Feb. 12.
Editors Constitution—My .attention
was called to an article in your issue
of Jan. fflst, headed “New Jersey
people coming to Georgia/’ Also to
a letter written by you to Mr. Murphy,
in which you very kindly offer the col¬
umns of your very valuable paper to
the new settlers, through which to
communicate their opinions, likes and
dislikes. I being the pioneer Jersey
farmer from Plainfield, and having been
here some time, it was thought best
that I should write what we find, how
we hke and how we are received hi re
in Georgia. I but reiterate the ex¬
pressions of all the new comers at
Waycross when I say w T e are all, so
far, exceedingly well pleasod and satis
fied, and that we find all very friendly
to us. I would like to mention the
names of many, but will only name a
fcw. Dr. Daniel Lott, Dr. Folks, Dr.
Williams, Parson lIn inas and Mr.
Buchanan.
I cannot prelend to write a newspa
per letter, but being personally ac.
quuinted in New Jersey with all who
have come to this section, and being
well known in Plainfield and vicinity
as one accustomed to farming on quite
a large scale, my statement will be
well accredited wherever I am known.
I wish to state n-Thing but what is
entirely true and which others, acting
upon mv experience and observation
will realize all they expected. I d<>
not design to make anv overdrawn
statements. Should von see-fit to pub
lisb all or part oi this, ph ase erase
j auvthiug ba* wherein been my fault. observ tion or
judgment at
We the new Comers from Plainfield
are all (men, women and children)
highly pleased with this section of
Georgia—Waycro-s and rhinity.—
We like the people, climate, s il and
‘ ts p> oductivf ness better than we had
“XfM'ct d.
I arrived in Waycross about the 22d
of last June » in ,h '* ver v hmt> st of the
-
weather, and found men, white and
black, and ti-arns, horses, mul s and
oxen wo'king right along at various
kinds of work th<* same as with us al
ti e north, in some instances commenc¬
ing at 4 o’clock in the morning amt
resting two or three hour.- in tin* mid¬
dle of tlie day, but more working reg
ular hours. I d » not find any day here
li »!t r, nor as hot as in X**w Jersey —
the mercury se d«>m ris ng above 96
deg., generally from 70 to 80, bur the
hot weather continues longer, I have
never heard of a caseof sunstr* kehrre.
Nearly every day there ;*re cooling,
pleasant breezes Irom the Atlantic or
the Gulf, and every few Jays fine
showers, which, with the wind, keep
tiie air pure and salubrious, while it
hastens vegeta'ion forward to an as
tonisiiiiii; degree. I gee a greet many
oxen working h*re in yokes, single, jn
carts and used lor plowing corn, rice,
-ugar-cane, cotton, etc., and 1 have
never seen an ox lolling bis tongue
out.
I have examined the country care
fully from Beard’s bluff to Waiesboro,
thence to Ilonierville, Dupont., Mag
ri"lia down towards Blouni’s ferry,and
iylong the western or upper edge of the
Okeeh nokee swamp, through the Mor¬
gan, Booih’and Pittman neighborhoods
on through six ,or eight miles below
W aycross to Blackshear, seeking the
best locadly, all tilings considered, lor
a northern settlement. ^Everywh ere
we went the pe pie were very cordial,
glad lo see us, bid us yvelcome, and
give abundance of their best, go with
us and show us the road, help along
and give us every information and ad¬
vice, all of which we found reliable :
and what is more, I find, quite contra¬
ry to expectation, an equal cordia ity
from their wives, daughters and sis¬
ters, the ladies oft he south. I see nom*
of that .reserve or haughtiness of
which I had heard, and do not believe
it exists. I have visited many of the
first families iu these sections. One
sees family worship kept in these prrts
of Georgia more generally than at the
north—pure, simple religion, with
homely churches and school-houses,
sufficiently near that none need b*v de¬
prived of either. There is no large
wilderness in these pine lands. All ne w
settlers will find old resident neighbors
from one-ha'f to a mile or two, settle
where they may.
Ol stock, we find cattle and hogs
roaming at large everywhere, procur¬
ing their own.living wholly, oml up to
within the last four weeks, v midd. ; e of
January) they have been looking fine¬
ly, but are now falling off", especially
the older ones, hut I am told that iu a
couple of wee ks the fresh grass will
start, when the cattle will again have
abundance.
1 was wholly unprepared to believe
that the ground everywhere was cov¬
ered thickly with various kinds ol
grasses continually, hut it is s<>. I
have mowed a good ciop of crowfoot
and crabgrass hay between the rows
of matured corn. Said corn had been
well cultivated, aud yielded a good av¬
erage crop, winch I consider to be 15
to 20 bushels to tlie acre in this place.
I know that 50 to 80 bustvds to tb
acre are often raised, and expect that
my northern neighbors and myself will
reach that amount in a little white,but
not without fertilizers. Rice, cotton,
sugar-cane and oats all make paying
crops
We can raise here good crops of
everything that grows in New Jersey,
and very many things that do not
grow there. Grains, grasses, vegeta¬
bles. fruits and berries, all of which do
well there, do well here. Here xve
have a profusion of beautiful flowers
and trees of a tropical nature—the
magnolia the live oak, cape jesaminc,
sw ? eet, sour and bitter orange, fig,
banana, etc., are all perfectly at home
here. I find the currant does finely—
but I cannot enumerate. I must say
emphatically that these things do not
grow wild here and without care any
mesge than at the north.
Waycross vve like; it is a central
point, and the land is dry, high, rolling
and well watered by never-failing
Rrteams. Utjs 96 miles from Savannah.
104 from Thomasville, and 60 miles
front Brunswick. Its hills are inter¬
spersed by Kettle creek, Camp branch,
Mill creek, and on the north the Big
Satilla river winds its way onward to
the sea, and is navigable nearly up to
Waycross, forming many bold points
on which could be built charming
villas.
1 cannot close this without due ac¬
knowledgment of the kindnesses and
friendly lee’ing manifested toward us
by -the gentlemanly managers of the
A & G. R. R., Grn. 1LS. Haines and
Jas. S. Taylor, especially, who have
manifested an interest in settling this
section of the country by passing land
prospectors and settle, with their
v ight, at a nominal c-e-t. In conelu
j si*m allow me to subscribe myselfj

Tile State Agricultural Society is

; gia by the agricultural aod geological
1 departments ot the State, now under
i die Hide and successful in nag* ment
°* Df Ja *cs hi the first and Dr, Lntle
in the other.
W e believe That the action ol the
legislature by which these departments
were i stablished has i»een sanctioned
by a majority of the people in all sec*
tions of this commonwealth, and that
th<* people of the State expect these
departments to be continued, and that
tlmy are to be the recipieitsof a lib*
iral support from the treasury year by
year as long as may be necessary.
And where*., there is in the l.. K U.
lature at thi. time a number ol men..
bers who seem opposed to these nec¬
essary agenci'-s which are doi-ig so
much lor the pe pl< ;
And whereas, this co ivention is a
representative one, and *11 its members
are devoted to the department of agri
cultural, m. ell iideal, m neral and iniu
ing interests o.' the State;
Vnd whereas, .t i* right and proper
for £’,ig convention to speak «n behall
ot its constituents, and the personal in¬
terest which each delegate lias in his
>»wn lands, mines, minerals, water
power and other property on which lie
pays taxes to the State,
Therefore, .resulvvd, That the Siute
Agricultural Society of Georgia great¬
ly deplores 'lie opposition finely made
by 41 member of the honorable mcinbeis
in the present legislature to such niea
sures as are necessary to the support
of the agricultural and geological de«
partm ins ol the government.
Resolved, 21. I hat this convention
most reap -otfully requests those hon¬
orable members of the legislature who
entertain such opinions to'consider the
good ; a’ready accomplished and pros¬
pectively most ce tain Iy to be realized
for our people and the State from ami
by those agencies; to examine the
grounds of their opposition and to in¬
quire if a generous support of said de¬
partments is not the b st p >lioy for
the p.esent ; aud future prosperity ol
our beloved Slate.
Resolved, 3d. Tout each delegate
will endeavor, : v the use of all proper
means : aad arguments, to eliange the
views of these honorable gentlemen in
the legislature and persuade them to a
c a*dial and hearty support of these de¬
partments, which we hold to be so im¬
portant to the well-being of our farm¬
ers, nineis, mccnanics and slock rais¬
ers.
Rt s lved, 4th. Tout we record with
gr. ar pleasure our “hearty approval of
tlie position taken and the vo tes given
by tlie friends ot these departments in

NEARLY ALL RAKING POWDERS
ARE ADULTERATED.
The wily manufacturers of these spurious
compounds claim that adulteration is
necessary to tho preservation of the
product. Don’t you believe a word
of this. On the contrary, the good
qualities of any Baking Powder
are lessened and the injurious
elements increased just in pro¬
portion to the adulteration.
SEA FOAM MH3S strength PURE
of any other yeast or Lukin# powder. It pos¬
sesses none ot tlie bad qualities of any of these
preparations, and but is an entirely new invention,
contains no ingredient or element which
can produce it an injurious effect, on tlie con¬
trary, lias in itself a tendency to sustain
life ami strengthen the Unman system.
BREAD Is one ol' the most Import¬
ant articles of foo<l, and one that enters
into people—tlie the daily con.-unipt’on well of the all rich. classes No¬ of

>Again. flour varies in quality , a fact which
adds greatly to the perplexing dithculties with
which the housekeeper has to contend in the
attempt to produce good bread by the use of
yeast, soda, saleratus, or the c( mm on baking
of powders and bread preparations. If too much
any of these articles is used, the bread has
a sour or rank, bitter taste, or is heavy and
soggy,unpalatable, of and indigestible. With the

even with second quality flour better cook¬
ery can I»e made than the best of flour will
make with any of the other studs.
ECONOMY Is another ytoint worthy of con¬
sideration in these hard times, when almost
every one has a struggle to make both ends
meet. The economy of Sea Foam is
really wonderful. One can of it t*
worth three of uny other baking compound.
SEA FOAM SAVES TIME and MONEY
It saves time because r try
little kneading is required, and no delay is ne¬
cessary for the dough to n.;-c; but it can be
