THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1870.
The Crops
Of this county were never better,
upon nn average, nt this season of the
year, than nt present. The recent
rains came in n good time, and im
parted new vigor niul growth to corn.
Corn and cotton are both looking re
markably well, and the oat crop has
turned out, it is found since the far
mers have commenced to cut them,
much better than was expected.
Wheat.
We have seen a sample of wheat,
grown by Mr. Reynolds, on Mr. W.
Pitman’s place, Thomas county, which
will comparo favorably with any wo
have ever seen grown iu North Geor
gia. It was well headed, aiid the
grains were large and full —demon-
strating, beyond doubt, that wheat
can be successfully grown iu this sec
tion. It was of the Red May variety,
whiefi, we are told, is the best for our
soil.
Excursion to Apilachicola.
Mr. R. M. Johnston, of the Baiu
bridge Democrat, writes us that an
other one of those pleasant boat ex
cursions to Apilachicola will take j
place next week—the boat leaving
Baiubridge on Tuesday, the oth inst.
The fare for the round trip is only
six dollars, including meals, and the
officers of the boat promise to leave
nothing undone to make their guests
comfortable and happy.
Incendiarism.
C last Friday night the torch of
the incendiary was applied to the
dwelling of Sheriff J. T. Thrasher,
but its timely discovery resulted in
the fiendish villain’s destructive in
tentions being foiled. A\ hoover it
was entered the back yard and depos
ited a handbill of lightwood splinters
iu an open window in the dining room,
and, applying a match to them, de
parted, as he thought, to see the house
six nin a blaze. The fire was discov
ered and extinguished, however, be
fore it made much progress.
Colquitt County thi(,
Mr.’ I. Sorrel, of Colquitt county,
sent us last week three sample bunch
es of his oats, which we pronounce as
good as any we have seen this season.
They were planted in August last,
and when about knee high Rvere ojAt
down with a reaper, and the samples
went us were virtually a second crop
from,the same planting; and they
were well .bended. Mr. Sorrell is one
of the oul-tinie farmers who makes all
that ho consumes at homo, and al
though lie is twenty-five miles from
any railroad, lie is independent and
happy. He hns not bought a pound
of bacon or bushel of corn in twenty
years. Wo wish our country was fill
ed up with such farmers.
Personal.
Wo attended both the morning
and evening services of the BaptUt
church, at this place, on last Sabbath,
and listened with pleasure and profit
to the truths set forth in a marked,
concise, and eloquent manner, by that
active, nud cxomplnry Christian gen
tleman, the Rev. Richard A Peeples,
of Valdosta. His text was, for the
morning services, from Ist Cor., 15tb
Ch—2l, 22, and 45 V; Subject “the
Ist and 2nd Adam”—“The two sons
of God.” We have never heard the
subject discussed as it was on this oc
casion, and to undertake a descrip
tion, would be to detract from its true
merit. "We will give it as our opin
ion, that the Rev. Mr. Peeples is to
become one of the great proraulga
torsof the Gospel iu the land.
The AifHeulturiil Meeting' ami Picnic.
The agricultural meeting and pic
nic gotten up by the Brooks County
Agricultural Society, and to be held
at Quitman on the Ist of July, is be
ing prepared for, and promises to be
the occasion of the grandest reunion
of farmers ever held in Brooks comi
ty. Col. A. T. Mclntyre, of Thomas
ville, has accepted an invitation to
adress the meeting, and the commit
tee of arrangements are in corres
pondence with other prominent gen
tlemeu for the purpose of securing, an
other speaker—Gov. Smith, who was
first invited, having notified them
that he cannot be present on account
of previous engagements. An able,
practical and instructive speech may
be expected from Col. Mclntyre, how
over, which onr farmers will be amply
repaid for coming to hear, even if no
other speaker is secured for the occa
sion. There are plenty of would-be
Governors who would be glad of this
opportunity to display their talents
before our people, but the committee
of arrangements have- wisely decided
to invite no politicians, but to make
it strictly tin agricultural meeting,
for the purpose of disseminating good
a'hlt wwilesomo’ instruction.

—We have boon requested to state
that the Sons of Temperances will
have a fraternal supper at their hall
next Wednesday night. Each mem
ber is expected to carry something to
eat, and as much to drink as he choos
es, provided it is not red and is not
calculated to make tho girls laugh too
loud.
—L ist week Frank McLeod, a ne
gro, and a wliito woman named E’iza
Griffin, were brought before Judge
Harden by virtue of an indictment
for fornication, issued by the Grand
Jury, at tho late session of the Supe
rior Court. The Judge appointed
last Tuesday for the trial of their case,
and allowed them to give bond for
their appearance. The negro failed
to get securities, and was committed
to jail, but the white woman was more
fortunate, and finally induced one of
our prominent merchants to go on
her bond. Tuesday came, but Eliza
beth didn't, and, when wanted, she
was nowhere to be found. The negro
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
twelve months in the chain gang.
The woman’s whereabouts is not
known, and now since her Ethiopian
companion has been convicted she will
probably keep out of the way. This
is the most disgraceful case of social
equality and miscegenation that lias
over come tolight in our county, aud
we trust that the wretched woman
who has figured in it (now since she
has fled from the penalty of her
crime) may continue her flight and
find her way into Africa, ot some oth
er country, where be? sins will be no
shame.
Cigars. — We are under obligations
to our young friend, Dr. Hnrrv Mab
betf, of the firm of Jelks A Mabbett,
for liberal sample# of cigars, just re
ceived- and for side by kito. 'they
were of excellent flavor, smoked w'ell,
and only m3 do us wish wo had more
of them. If you want a good cigar,
call on tho Doctor.
A Model Farm.
It was our extreme pleasure last
Monday afternoon to visit tho farm
of Mossrs. Perduo A Graves, one
mile west, of town, and wo must say
that they have tho best arranged
placo and the prettiest, cleanest farm
that wo have ever seen in tho county.
These gontlemen commenced to
farm together in 1870, and have been
improving their placo anil experi
menting in scientific farming each
year, until they have now tho most
conveniently arranged barn yard,
stock houses, etc., and the best culti
vated lands to Vie found, perhaps, in
all the county.
They raise stock of all kinds adapt
ed to our country, and have comfort
able, dry quarters for each class, from
tho smallest to the greatest, to pro
tect them in bad woather. Thus, by
housing their stock, and bringing
them together to bo fed at night, they
not only have an opportunity of see
ing the condition of each animal daily,
lint in the course of tho year they no
cumulato enough manure in their
different stock departments to en
rich every acre of land they culti
vate.
Every building about tho place is
conveniently and substantially con
structed, bearing unmistakable evi
dence, when viewed all together, that
the practical designers went to work
first to prepare for farming. There is
a place for everything, and everything
is kept in its place.
After rambling through the farm .
yard and buildings we took a stroll
over the fields. There are doubtless
a hundred farmers in the county who
cultivate more land than these gen
tlemen, but there are probably none
who make their farms more profitable.
They have only about one hundred
and twenty live acres planted, but we
are confident that they harvest heav
ier crops annually than nine-tenths of
the more pretentious farmers who
cultivate (?) double this number Of
acres. They enrich their land, keep
it in a high state of cultivation, make
plenty of corn .and forage, keep fat
stock, use the most improved farming
implements, and in fact, do every
thing like they were ninking/armun/
a permanent business from choice and
not from temporary necessity.
Their crop is diversified, and we
never saw a better average growth of
corn and cotton. That is to say,
there were lio poor, barren spots to
be seell, but the crops looked the
same til! over the fields. They have
made a large crop of oats, most of
which ‘have been cut and are now
“shocked" in the field peparatory to
housing. They have an acre of su
gar calie, Which we think is the pret
tiest, wc have ever seen at this season
of the year, besides a very respectable
patch from the “stuble” of last year’s
crop. They have planted plenty of
: pinders and sweet potatoes, and ex
pect to fatten about forty-five head of
■ meat hogs next winter.
We have thus gone over With What
we saw on this model farm not be
cause wo thought these gentlemen
would like to be the subjects of a
newspaper puff, but We have taken
the liberty to make use of their names
merely for the purpose of placing
, them before our less prosperous far
mers as worthy of imitation. Our
object iu briefly detailing what wo
saw was to show that they first went
to work to prepare themselves for
farming, which makes the pursuit
now both pleasant and profitable.
We know their plan of farming is the
right one, because they are making
money, and if we can induce a single
croaker who is protending to farm,
and who has been complaining from
year to year ever since the war that
“farming don’t pay in this country,”
to imitate their example, then our ob
ject iu writing this article will have
been fully accomplished.
As we rode back to town after look
ing oyer this beautiful farm and con
sidering the prosperous condition of
its proprietors, we found ourself so
liloquizing: Suppose all the fanners
in Brooks county had gone to work
on the plan adopted by Messrs.
Perdue A Graves soon after the war,
what a glorious, prosperous and hap
py people we would be ! We would
not care whether Western corn was
held at a dollar per bushel, or bacon
at sixteen cents per pound or not,
I and crop liens, homestead-waiving
notes and usury laws would be umt
, ters of unconcern to the liouest hus
: bandinan. And when we realize tiie
| fact from wliat. we see actually dem
) onstrated that this happy state of af
fairs could be brought about by a
few years of industry, aimed after the
example sot by such farmers as have
furnished the subject of this article,
we are constrained to hope that we
may live to see our county iu tho full
enjoyment of so desirable stud yet
easily attained prosperity.

Q lit nan, Ga.. May 30, 1870. tf.
The Sentinel says that tho Tallahas
see Manufacturing Company, which
was formed in that city a year or two
since, through the energy and enter
prise of Mr. R. M. Shonse, and of
which Dr. A. B. Hawkins is President
and Mr. Shouse is Secretary, have
been busily engaged, since the burn
ing of their large gin-house, in erect
ing two brick additions, 12x25 feet iu
dimension each, to tho east side of
I heir factory, which are to ho ready
for use in übout ten days. In one of
these wings it is designed to place a
“Gem of the 'South,” double-geared
mil), having a capaeity'Jof grinding fif
teen hundred bushes of corn weekly,
which will no doubt meet the wants
of a large number of planters in the
surrounding country. The other wing
is to contain a fine machine called a
“spreader, ’’ costing upwards of twelve
hundeed dollars, which receives the
cotton direct from tho gin-mill and
makes it into rolls for tho carding
machines. The company have already
begun preparations for the building
of anew. gin-house, which will be of
frame, and erected on the site of the
old building recently burned. Lum
ber is already on the ground, and the
gin-house will be completed bv the Ist
of August next.
We copy the above for tho purpose
of calling the attention of the Brooks
County Manufacturing Association to
tho importance of attaching to their
establishment a corn mill. It occurs
to us that if there was a corn (hlTtlW-'
tached it would certainly pay ns well,
if not better, proportionately, than
any part of the establishment.
Wo would suggest that a small
framed house be erected about 30 feet
from the north end of tho Factory
building, for tho mill. Shafting can
he supplied, and the mill put in mo
tion at a very trifling cost. We will
now sum up some of tho advantages
and profits:
Will suppose that the mill, includ
ing all cost of house, shafting and
belting, will bo $350. M ill suppose
that the mill only grind three days in
each week, and only 100 bushels per
day, ovp‘loo^uslielseach week, or 1200
bushels for each month, at tho lawful
toll of itli, we find the result to be 150
bushels for each month. The only
expenso will be a miller, who can be
employed at S2O pel* month or less.
The year will show the following re
sult: Gross earnings, SIBOO, from
which must bo deducted the expense
| incurred for mill, house, etd, etc.,
$350; for miller, $240; total, $590.
Profit sl2lO. This we think rather
under than over the mark, "We wish
tho stock holders would take this mat
ter into consideration. It looks to
us that there is money in the project,
aside from the great convenience it
would bo to the town and operatives.
ThoniasviHe Fair IJotcs, f
-Not a single gubernatorial can
didate attended the Fair.
-—Col. J. D. A Vest on, of the Albany
.Vines, was there in full. He used up
half a dozen lead pencils and a quire
of paper—moro or less—taking notes.
He is a romantic, poetic young man,
and will doubtless write up the Fair
in eloquent, rhyming style.
—-AA’illio Harris, of Quitman, joined
the Thomasvillo base ball club in a

pounds.
—Johnston, of the Bninbridge Dem
ocrat, turned out behind the presiden
tial badge of tho “Star” base ball

-—A bag race between four or five
little negroes was the most amusing
feature of the Fair.
—Triplett and Davies circulated

—The last wo saW" of Charley Pen

There is no medicine prescribed by
physicians, or sold by Druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success
and superior virtue as Bosciiee’s Ger

any disease of the Throat and Lungs.
A proof of that fact is that any per
