Seme of our visitors never saw to
orange tree in bloom, perhaps. If they
will step around to Mr. Jobn Pol
lard’s, on Hansell street, they will ut
some orange blossoms.
Thomasville does not court any
boom, but she is fighting for a steady a
healthy growth; aud this beats, ah the
booms ever heard of, Booms are
dangerous things.
The beautiful posts, heart pine
with natural finish, around the Van*
duzer residence, were gotten out and
supplied by Fife & Beverly, the ex
tensive mill men of Meigs. They
arc yery handsome.
Mr. Henry Pittman, of Atlanta,

Robert E. Lester for some time. We
are pleastd to learn that the young
gentleman is very much pleased with
his stay .and surroundings. He has
improved right along.

The handsome new residence and
grounds of Mr. SL p. Van Duzcr now
rings mth childish laughter. His
two sons, son-in-law and daughter,
and the latter’s two children, arrived
on Saturday.
The Hopkins Real Estate Agency
sold to Mr. S. J. Drake, of New
York, a few days since, seven acres
of land fronting on Fletcher street.
Mr. Drake spent the winter here, and
was so much pleased with the place
and Us bright outlook, that he has
invested some of his surplus here
. Mr. Jim Reid has added another
curiosity to his museum collections.
It is a chicken with two fully deveT^
oped heads and necks and three
wings. In other respects it is a nat-
urally formed chick. Jim has it in
alcohol. Mr. J. T. Chastain, of Jer
sey Farm, makes the contribution to
Mr. Reid’s collection.
A Beauty.
Our reporter bad the pleasure of
being shown over the handsome
“Finn*Place” Tuesday, bn Madi

ornament to any modern city, and Is
entirely the plans of Mr. Finn.
The front is a beatfiy/atjthe top
of which is placed in large letters
“Finn Place, 1889.”
The first floor contains the office
in front and neat glass harness cases
on the left, extending from front to
rear of building.
The second floor is also well fitted
up and contains .seyeral nice private
rooms which Mr. Pino will rent
As we asceqded to the third story
we were shown into some of. the nic

the large glass windows and pulling
back the blinds we .were shown one
of the prettiest views of our little city,
over m the direction of Fletcherville.
The building is also fitted up with
a large elevator, which is quite con
venient.
It is an ornament to Madison
street.
Another Sale of Real Estate.
Mr. Leb Dekle sold a valuable lot
on lower Broad street Monday to
Mr. W. L. Cone. Mr. Cone will

The question as \o when the
sleepers aye to be taken off, is agi
tating a good many of our visitors.
A rumor, not traceable, however, to
any reliable source, to the effect
that there were to be taken off quite
soon, has been going the rounds of
the hotels and boarding houses. It
would releive the anxiety of many if
the railway authorities would offici

Turpentine Distillery Again.
TnoMASViLLE, Ga., April 1,1889.
Editor Times:
The average duration of human life
is only thirty-three years, bo it is Said,
which induces mo to remark that life is
entirely too abort for u* to prolong the
discuuion over l he establishment of
tho turpentine distillery in this city,
with our esteemed friend. “Georgia
Tarheel.”
His first ccmmunication (dated
March 22d) wes acceptable and wel-
eerne, because (although he opposed
the fchome) bo dealt in figures and die-
cussed items. In the lost article (dated
March 27th) “G. T-” seems to have
either lost his temper or to have been
suffering from an attack of dyspepsia.
is not goo^ policy to “get mad”
while engaged in a newspaper discus
sion.
I was sorry to notice that “G. T.,”
his antagonism to the distillery
project, got clear over into Florida and
Alabama, which was indeed a most
reckless sud unnecessary proceeding,
In his first communiootion he only got
far as Ochlocknee and Metcalfe!
Now, while I am disposed to be in on
excellent humor over this distillery
matter sud discussion, I consider that
the Times acd its ratdirs desire all
the light possible on the subject, and
are not interested in irrelevant personal
allusions and ill-disguised
which are not argument.
Furthermore, it u a well-accepted
sajing, now-a-days, that money talks.
And, as I hayc offered to toko $100
stock in the works, and Mr. Fearn has
offered to donate a location for the
same, whereas “Georgia. Tarheel”, of
fers neither, but only “objections;
now beg to spring a parliamentary (or
business) point on our friend, sod must
rule that he is out of order, all round.
We can always find people who are
ready to object to any scheme project-
ed,for the benefit of their town although
they msy not be asked or expected to
risk any money on tho same.
As G. T. setms to hopelessly misunder
stand the plan of the distillery scheme,
let me ssy that it is only contemplated
to purchase crude from “old boxes,”
not “virgin boxes.” The one will do
just ss well for the purpose ss the oth
er, end no scientific (7) distiller will be
required for making fine roan. I hope
G. T n for the sake of his 17 yean* tur
pentine experience, and consequent
reputation, was joking when be alludes
to the sine qua non of “virgin resin”
and the chewing business. There is
just shout as much virtue in pineotmr
-Greenwood Sold.
The Hopkins Beal Estate
Id the nsgnifieent estate, known
“Greenwood,” the extensive property
of the kte Thomas Jones, to Mr. S. R.
VanDnzer, of New York, Monday.
Negotiations for the property have
been pending sometime, hat the trade
was not consummated until that day.
Mrs. Jones, although n lady of won
derful energy tad executive ability, re
alising that she eonld not longer man
age so extensive e property, concluded
to aeD. - The purchase stretches along
the public road, from a point a little
over one mile from town, to the Och-
lockonee river, a distance of four miles
from town. * * • ~
It is an old-time plantation, one of
the few yet extant in this section. The
lands are gently undulating, and are
susceptible of the highest kind of im
provement and culture. In days gone
by it was one of the best paying plan
tations in the oonnty. But the war
and “freedom” came, and the glory of
the old plantation departed. There are
hundreds of acres of open laud, and
great bodies of primitive pine forests
and magnolia groves scattered over the
domain. Clear running streams, fed
by everlasting springs, water the broad
seres, making a landscape of forest,
field and stream, which would delight
an artist. It is fortunate that this
splendid property has passed into the
hands of a gentleman of wealth and
taste, one who will doubtless restore
the place tojts former glory. The old
mansion, surrounded by extensive
grounds dotted with rare shrubbery
and redolent with blooming flowers, is
one of the most picturesque iu the
county. It has been, for almost half a
century, the ideal of a southern home,
where, on all occasions, that old-time
Southern hospitality, so characteristic
of*our people, bos been dispensei with
lavish hand, by the lady who to day
has transferred the plaoe, for a valuable
consideration, to Mr. VanDozcr.
While congratulating the late owner
and Judge Hopkins on the sale, Mr
VanDnzer is also to be congratulated
upon having secured one of the most
valuable pieces of property ia
tho vicinity of Thomasville. The
gentleman has already invested heavily
town property, and we ar e glad that
ages a future for ouutry property
well It is peculiarly gratifying to
our people to have such men as S. R
Yon Duzcr, show their faith in the
future of our town and section, by
making these heavy investments. Tho
price paid for the place is not definitely
known, though we learn the figures are
in the neighborhood of twenty-five thou-
•aud-dollors. It is theT~ largest bid gle
transaction in country re-sl estate which
has occurred in Thomas c.unty since
tho war.
There is life in the old land yet.
Bargains in Furniture.
Messrs. Philpot & Fields are closing
out, regardless of cost or value, the
furnitqre saved from the Gulf house.
There is some very handsome furniture
the lot, some of it very little dam
aged, which is being sold at the cotton
warehouse at great bargains. Call and
care bargains before the lot u closed
out. It is going, we understand, very
fast.
Some Facts About Bermuda
Grass.
Day-by day—year after year do tho
advantages of the wonderful bermnda
become more appyent, and man and
mon are these advantages being appp-
dated by the people.
Greene eounty is the centre of the
fiuBons bermuds grass region, and the
number of firmen who are cultivating
it, o» a hay crop, if constantly increas
ing*
Within the past week 00c party in
Greensboro alone, has pat on tho mar
ket and sold 75,000 pounds of this hay,
aud the demand and prioe are constant
ly i m proving. Sixty-fira thousand,
pound* cf this hay was sold at 85 cents
per Hundred, or $17 per ton; the last
lot of 15,000 pounds brought $18 per
ton. This was only one of the many
sales that are^aking plaoe in Greens
boro. Tho crop gathered on the her*
muda grass forms the past year is bring
put on the market. It finds ready
purchasers at good figures, and thous
ands of dollars are being brought from
other sections of the oonntry and going
into the pockets of the bermuda grass
formers. And from every ton of ber
muda gross bay sold by the fanners of
Greene ccunty there is a profit of $11
per ton. A ton of hay at $17 per ton
pajs more profit than a bale of cotton
at 8 cent-i a pound.
When these fsets are considered it is
wonder to as that more of the farm-
s io Greeae county do not engage in
the badness.
Wc had an interesting talk with
Capt. J. M. 8torey on the- subjeot of
bercouda grass bay, this year. Storey
has gone into the^usiness on an exten
sive Beale, and his experiments have
proven to him that it is the greatest
thing io this country, and that the
farmers of Greene county and Middle
Georgia are standing squarely in their
own light if they-do not give the mat
ter serious and prompt attention.
“Captain,-tell us something of the
profits in bermuda hay.”
“I have had considerable experience
h this matter, and if you think it will
prove of benefit to others, I will cheer
fully give it. My own opinion is that
bermuda grass is tho greatest thing in
Greene county aud pays a better profit
in hay that any other crop that eon be
put upon the land. I will givo you a
mparative statement. Everybody
knows that bermuda grows without any
particular cultivation. The only ex
pense attached to it is the cutting and
baling. It requiree 5 hands to operate
and keep up with a mowing maohine.
A maohine will cut three acres a day..
I have made the following table as to
the cost of cutting:
5 hands at 50c. a day each $2.50
4 muLs, 50c 2.00
1 wagon, 50c 50
Baling,.per ton 3.00
Marketing...., 1.50
a very low estimate. ThU is a total of
120,000pounds,or90 tons. Wage!
this table of expenses: .
Hire of 5 hands, 40 days..... $100
4 males, 40 days 80
Wagon, 40dare.... 20
Marketing 1.50*per ton.. 75
BaKn& aft $3 per ton* . . 180
Total...$455.00
60 hma of hay, at $17. ...$1,020.00
Profit f. *565,00
When tha cotton former made $200
<m cotton on 60 seres, the hay farmer
has made $565 or $265 more, and has
only worked forty days while the oot-
ton former has been' at it 313—the
whole* working year. There figures
may seem extravagant, bat the facts
prove them and those who have gone
into the birihere know it ie true. Now
yon readily are that ail we have to do
where the yield Is greater than one ton
per acre is to add $3 per ton for baling
and one dollar and fifty oents per ton
for marketing—which, deducted from
all over one ton per acre produced, will
give the net profits per sere in bermu-
jja meadows. The first expense of
cletring the land of stumps is the
greatest, but it is an expeoae that pays.
To make the land smooth of obstruc
tions is necessary in order to mow with
a machine. The expense of tha baling
press and mowing machine, of course,
comes io, but it is the same with cot
ton—there are hoes, plows, gearing,
■crews, bagging, ties, etc., to put the
cotton on the market. Bat in the hay
badness once the machinery is bought
it h only necessary to koep it in repair.
Yes, bermuda grass is the greatest
thing in this oountry and the half of
its advantages have not been seen or
told,” and CapL Storey left us to attend
the unloading of a number of bales of
the great hay, and we retaroed to tho
office to write down the strong facts of
the mopey there is ia btrmada gras*.

Bat tbi; is the expense of one day’s
work for the hands, males and wagon,
and consequently is not the cost per ton.
These men, with the machine, can cut
three acres a day as easily os one,
ycu must, in order to get the dot of
hay per ton, consider three acres as the.
unit aud its yield must be eounted be
fore the approximate cost per ton
be obtained.
We will rako it that an acre yields
only ono toD, or three tons on three
acres. It will require 2 cuttings for 2
crops, or to obtain the 3 tons on 4
This is $5 for the hfllds, $4
for the mulct, $1 for the wagon—$10
in ail, or $3.33s. per acre. In putting
the hay on the market it will cost $3
per ton for baling and 81.50 for mar
keting. Bat the c*t of cutting and
saving 2 tons an acre will be no more
than $3.33 an sere, for the machine
will cut 2 c-r even 4 tons from
os easily as it will one. Now, to get
an exact estimate of the cost per ton,
add to the cost of catting and houriog,
$3 for baling and $1.50 per
market etch ton gathered from this
acre. Bal upon the basis that only
one ton is gathered, this is a cost of
$7.83 pertm, and at $17 per too—for
which I acid some recently—a profit of
$9.17 per ton, if 2 tons are
from an acre the eost would be $6.33
for labor, $6 for baling, $3 for

two tana would bring $34—a profit of
$21.66 per acre, or $10.83. par
Thus the rreattr the yield par aa

The Proposed Bagging Squeeze

nation. The present tue on a bale of
cotton ia twenty ponnds, and if this is
continued, it will be a serious diecrimi-
uation against a lighter covering than
jute bagging. It hu been demonstra
ted that cotton doth can be used to ad
vantage io baling option and that do
objection wiU be made to it in the ports;
but under the present exchange rules,
the use of such bagging would, by rea-
son of its light weight, entail a lota on
the farmers whieh might prevent the
general adoption of aueb a substitute
for jute bagging. The eommon nu of
eotton for baling porpoaa* would bring
double benefit from theexacdosi of
tha jute treat and of an increase in the
ptien of cotton. The Mobile

fifty male* at their tight move ia attar
confusion around the shed, hiding be;
hind on* soother. Bat how is it on
Sundays? There reigae the* aa Ar
cadian pence in the pen. Each mule
ia paired off with hit "chum” (a select
ive affinity, ao doubt,) in aa angle of
tha nil faooe, head and tail together.
The object ia a practical exemplification
of tho golden rale. To eojoy an un
troubled eieats, each bend secure, im
munity from tho fly peat by a close
proximity to his friend', “perpetuum
mobile." Farm hands may go in and
out without producing the least sign of
alarm. But should bridles appear that
disturbs only master's saddle cr carriage
horses. As to tbo males, an extra
twitch io tail or ear shows tho least
suspicion that their owner eonld possi
bly be tho vietim of a mistake; with
eyes droopiog and head on a level with
that of his neighbor's tail, his somno
lent torpor is s picture of trust and
safety. He knows it ia Sunday. I
remember well the amused look of my
foreman, Essex, when asking him for
bis opinion on tbo subject. “Why, in
course,” said be, "dey knows it's Sun
day."
Pertinent to the laat query is the
other: lfo animals know noontime?
'or the take of a lively scone, let ns
some forenoon go Into a large field.
Presently wc are startled from our rev-
eric by an unearthly "Ee-hnng,eehung,
hung, hung.” It is tbo Nestor of the
four-footers that calls thus: "Time
for refreshment:—a signal similarly
seconded and proved in tueocmlon by
forty others. Wo look at onr time
piece, and, ture enough, tho large head
is abont covering the smaller. It il
noon. The male, however, is some
miontes ahead of lime, acd there cn>
sues a fearful coetoat for tho mastery
between him and the driver, which tho
distant dinner horn only ends.
Now, how is it that the male knows
noontime? Docs ho rely on tho infalli
bility of his timS'piccc, thst warns him
that it needs re winding? Or has ha
noticed his ujuslly hungry partner,
Sambo, who, on reaching the cod of a
row, halts t moment, and turning faco
northward, aDxieusly scans the shadow
at his feet? Or is the sensitiveness o
his back so delieste that he can dis
criminate between oblique and vertical
rays?
Wc arc prone to mystify, and be
cause we are unwilling to grant brnle
creation the power of reasoning, we call
their actions that surprise us "idsticet."
In tho barnyard, stable and field wa
never obseivc this quality of instinct
in the ycong. It is only the old that
become wise by eipcsienco.
