“Saturday brought me to this place,
which Is one of the oldost and most
cultivated in the state. I was hero
for a few days in 1878, but many im
provements have been made since
that time. As my friend, Mr. ,i. W.
Chapman, the gifted and prosperoua
editor and proprietor of the Gazette,
drove me to his cozy and delightful
home, I took in these things at a
glance. The world moves on, and
some of the very oldest places are
waking up into sympathy with the
vigorous life and enterprise which is
bounding in the pulse of the new cit
ies and towns. The people of Wash
ington have been brought up under
tlio refining influence of wealth and
the boat typo of southern society.
Tlicirbomes are fragrant with that
atmosphere that comes from cultiva
ted minds and nobility of character
such as belonged to the old days of
chivalry. My old friends here "have
flooded me with invitations and are
making my stay among them a rest
indeed to both mind and body.”
We ta kc the above from the editor
ial correspondence of Rev. W . W.
Wadsworth to his paper the Coweta
Advertiser of Newnan.
In a God-Favored Region.
While nearly every part of the
county has been well favored with
seasons this year tho section which we
visited on Tuesday is perhaps the
most favored In all tho county. Be
hind a fine traveller from the popular
stable of Jss. F. Jaqkspn we started
in tho cool of the morning for the
home of Mr. Jerome Lescucr twelve
miles distant. When only throe mile
from town we discovered that the rain
of which we had a small sample on
tho day before, had fallen in copious
showers. From that point on Wo
found tlie rain had been splendid.
The crops were fresh and green, tho
air delightful and nodust in the road.
The country shows up m all its
beauty and presents its greatest
charms just at this season.
Arriving at tho elegant homo of
Mr. Learner we found one of the most
beautiful and best kept places to be
seen any where In this jirosporous
section of country. Best of all we
found that abounding hospitality
which makes a home most charming.
Mr. and Mrs. Leseuer have surround
ed themselves with as many of tho
comforts of life as are over found in
one home, ami nothing gives
them more pleasure than
to share them with their friends.
And wo assure them that nothing
could be more pleasaut to their
friends.
During tho day Mr. Richard 11.
Wootten took us over to hi(£t'arm, one
of the best iu the county, and on which
is how growing the finest crops #f corn
and cotton we havo seen this year.
Going on tho correct principlo that
ail things considered, farming is tho
best business a man ever followed,
Dick Wootten has gene into it with a
will, and is consequently making a
tine suceess of it, as all mou do who
go at it this way. There is not m
sprig of grass in his crop and it has
not suffered a day, for rain. The day
we saw it it was luxuriating In the
moisture from tho splendid rain
which fell tho dav before. Ills coni
is a dark grecu color, is asMne as we
ever saw In the NorthwtalS-and will
produce, we will not uiWertako to say
how much, per acre. A great
deal of his cotton is as
high as a man’s head, has spread
three and four feet and is full ol fruit
and blooms. Ho has had five, acres
surveyed and slakodofffor the pur
pose of entering a contest for a *950,00
premium offered by a company for the
greatest yield on five acres.’ If ho
does not got the premium it will sur
prise us very much. It is the most ad
vanced cottou for this season that we
hare ever seen. Jfr. AA r ootten’s farm
contains 185 acres, and is tho place
which he purchased from Mr. B. S.
Irvin. The well known touch of this
gentleman’s hand in Improvements
is plainly seen, and Mr. Wootten is
keeping up the place well.
Returning wo dined at the sump
tions board of Mr. Leseusr, whose
table is supplied with tho best that
this God-favored land yields.
In our rounds during tho course of
the afternoon wo met Mr. Duncan C.
Hill who showed us over his Bermu
da farm, where tho new industry
for this country, hay-making by ma
chinery is extensively engaged in.
He is running a nower and horse
rake, and is gathering hay by the
ton. The delightful fragrance qt
new mo vn hay permeates the atmos
phere for hundreds of yards. Mr.
HSU has already gathered about fifty
tons and will gather two three times
a much. Ho wilt use it all for winter
feeding for the large number of stock
andcattle he is raimng which lie
finds very profitable. , Burmuda
hay is recognized to be the finest in
the world. The only attention Mr.
Hill gives it is to cut and gather it,
never plows tho ground unless it
is unevon and needs to be made
smooth.
Taking tea with Mr. Lcsoucr and
his charming family wo returned
homo by moonlight, with many
pleasant thoughts oil which to dwell.
