Ovtr Trip to Newnan.
Wc left Jesup Monday morning at
8:10 a. tn.’ in com;any with ti goodley
number of for the Agricult
ural Convention, and being acquainted
with nearly t'l.*wo <ka4 a very pleasant
trip to Macon, with the exception of
the heat and dust, as it was very dry and
dusty On rea LingMacoD, wc Lamed
thft we could 0"t go farther than Grif
flu, which place we would not reaeh un
til 2a. rn, and then atop until 1 p. tn.,
and by sloping iu Macon, we could get
a good night’s test and take the day
tiain and lose no time in getting to our
destination. -60 naturally to be sup
posed, we all agreed to atop, and repar
•d to the Brown House e.i masse,
where all traveler* should go when
■topping in the beautiful city of Macon.
They will find the Brown House ono of
the best Hotels in the State, and tho
gentlemanly proprietor, Mr. Brown,
will do all tliat cuo bo desired to make
you comfortable and at rates to suit
tiie times: only two dollars per day.
We proceeded after a good night’s rest
a ltd a hearty breakfast Jiaaviug Macon,
at 8'45 a. m , glidiog along over one of
the best aud smoothest roads in the
Btate, arriving at Grifflu at 12 o’clock,
stopping one hour for refreshments.
Griffin is a beautiful inland town,
sixty miles above Macon, and about
a xteen hundred feet above the level of
the sea. heaving there at I p. m., we
were on our way for a dis*
tanoe of Ihirty-live iiiilen. For the
. fi.st thirty miles, the crops looked very
sorry, not as good as in old Wayne
aud adjoining counties. Very little
coin plumed, mostly cotton, and, as a
, general thing, it looked very sorry.
• Oil arriving at our destination, wo found
n special committee io waiting to re
ceive us and escort us to the Hall, aud
then consign us to our respective stop
ping places. Tho writer was consigned
to tho Virginia House, a very large
and comfortable brick building, where
we aiet with a most besrty welcome
J During our stay, we takcD several
strolls to the mineral springs, situated
chout one-fourth of a mile from the
I hotel. The spring is very neatly fitted
up and is of considerable note. The
■ v atcr is clear aud beautiful. Its min
. eral is iron.
Now (or the Convention which con
vened on Tuesday, the 14th, at 10
o’clock a. m. The Convention was
called to order by the president, Hon.
Thos. Hardeman, of Alacnn. Prayer
was red by Rev. J. H. Hall, of the
Baptist church of this city. Maj. Geo.
Jours, in behalf of tlie citizens of new
nan, delivered the address of welcome
to the delegates of the Convention in a
style and manuer appropriate, to the
Convention. He was responded to by
Hev. Dr, Means, of Oxford, Ga., the
eloquent divine and professor of Emory
College. The president of the associa
tion, Hon. Thos. Hardeman, then ad
dressed the Convention. For over an
hour he held his large audience in rapt
attention, and was frequently inter
rupted by enthusiastic applause.
As tbis eloquent and interesting ad
dress will no doubt be published, we
will not do the speaker injustice by at
tempting an imperfect sketch or syoop*
.sis of it. Suffice it to say it was an
earnest abletff>rt for the improve
ment of t£e agricultural, educational
social and commercial inti rest of Geor
gia, wcj! .calcuiafied. if circulated
throughout the ,Si,t, to accomplish
great good.
After the /oncinsioo cf the address
the Convention took recess until 3
o’clock p. m., at which time the names
were enrolled, and about 315 tjele-
gates ascertained to be in atteadauce.
A resolutiou was unanimously adopte!
at the afternoon session, inviting mem
bers of the agricultural organiz itioos
of ibis country, the laJies and citizens
generally, took scats iu the hall, to wit
ness the deliberations of the Conven
tion,
Capt. E. T. Divis, of Thouiaaville,
dehvcrel an interesting essay ou “beg
gar-lice” as a forage plant and a fertil
izer. Stock of ail kinds, he said, pre
ferred it to clover, pea-vinos, hay, or
corn fodder, for the reason that it con
tained more sachariue matter than ei
ther of them or perhaps all combined.
It was also, lie maintain.d, superior to
every other growth as a fertilizer, and
mentioned, in illustration, that worn
out land has been restored, by the ro
cuperativo agency of the ‘ beggar-lice,”
to its original fertility, causing twenty
bushels of corn to grow ou old exhaust
ed fields where ouly five to ten bushels
oauld b obtained bef ore its iutroduc
lion.
We have not time or space, how
ever, to give a more extended outline
of Uapt. D’s essay, but would respect
fully urge our planters to investigate
the subject, and ascertain all the facta
in relation to the wonderful utility of
this plant.
At the night session, attended by a
large number of ladies and citizens gen
erally, the Convention, ia committee
the whole, discussed the important
question as to the time for sowing
Wheat, preparing tho ground, quautity
of seed to Ihe uere, etc.
During the discussion we learned
from a dolega e from Thnnas county',
that Southern and South-west Georgia
are developing a capacity for the pro
duction of wheat and oats, horeicffore
unknown. Seventy bushels of oats
aod over twenty-fivo bushels of wheat
to the acre, having been realized from
this grain crop by nmuy planters.
At 9.30 o’clock, after a pleasant and
harm M.ious meeting, a motion was
made aud carried that the Convention
adjourn to Wednesday morning 9
o'clock.
The Convention assembled Wednes
day morning. Dr. Jones, of I3urko >
addressed the Convention on the sub
ject of forage crops, the kinds that
thrive best in different sections of Geor
gia and their importance in farm econo
my. His remarks wore interesting and
instructive, and was followed by a dis
cus ion of tho 6ubjeot by the members
of the Convention.
Dr. Georgo Little, State Geologist,
then delivered an able address ou suc
ces-ful agriculture.
Tho discussion of the subject by the
Conventio-i was entertaining and was
listened to attentively by the laige au
dience present.
Tho peoplo seem to be delighted
with the Convention. All that attend
ed its session seemed to be satisfied
aod have been greatly benefited in list
ning to the addresses and discussions,
and that the best interests of our State
and oountry are being promoted by
these semi-annual meetings of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society.
Getting through wit the business of
the Convention, we adjourned to meej
at our next semi-anual meeting, to be
held in Atnericus, when we bnpo to le
there and meet as many of our old ac
quaintances bs convenient to attend.
Letter From Florida.
Suwannee Springs, Fla.,
August 13th, 1877.
Editor Jesvp Sentinel: —Please al
low me space in ill columns of your
paper to give the numerous readers of
the Sentinel a brief account cf my fow
weeks sojourn at these Springs, which,
in the pi r6uit of health haß been more
than refreshing, having an excellent ap
petite sharpened by frequent oblations
in cold sulpher water, and thanks to
kind friends for the bounteous supply
of everything that is good to gratify it.
Lolling about all day in the 000 l shades
on the banks of the winding stream of
the beautiful Suwannee liver, and
sleeping soundly all night with a mag
nificent S uthern breeze gently pasing
in at our window, ought to euro dyspep
sia Although temperate meD, we
have acquired the habit of notorious
drinkers, a quart at a draught from the
crystal fountain several times a day be
ing "ur allowance.
During our short stay here, we have
formed the acquaintance of a great
many of the citizens of the surround'
iug country, to whom we feel greatly
indebted for their generosity and hos
pitality. We had the pleasure of go
ing out in the country some five miles
to church on the 12th inst., enjoyed
ourselres finely Heard an eloquent
sermon preached by the Rev. Mr Neal,
preacher in charge of the Live Oak
circuit. Religious services over, we
accrpted a acordial invitation borne
with Mr. K. J. Caraway, where we bad
i the pleasure of dining, after which our
uuicsity was somewhat tinted [by
• viewing a specie of the Florida wator
| melon, which Mr. C. informed us he
j had raised ou his farm, 't weighod
! seventy-five pounds, and measured four
feet seven and a half inches iu length,
three feet eight inches and a half round.
Can Georgia’s noble sons excel that iu
the culture of watermelons ?
We were delighted, as we passed the
various farms by the road side, to see
the beautiul fields of cotton aud vari
ous other produce, repre.-enting the in
dustry of the farmers here. Another
feature iu which we noted among the
farmers hero is that they, without a
single exception have fat Horses and
the most of them drive fine buggies.
We have often thought that there was
nothing that represented to the stranger
a progressing country than gj 'd faults,
good hors s, buggi-s, etc.
From what we have seen of the corn
crop here, it is very good, averaging
fifteen bushels p* r acre. We believ- 1 ,
however, that there is great room for a
mutch heavier production from tho
soil here by the use of the necessary
compost, which we have no doubt will
be adopted at an early day, as tho fa
cilities are extraordinary good fur rais
ing a good feitilizer, lime rock being iu
abundance here, aud with hut very lit
tle trouble can be burned iuto lime,
which properly ued, with other mixt
ures, would greatly improve the soil.
From what we can learn, and also
judging from the roscy cheeks rf the
citizens here, we can only pronounep
this as healthy, if noi more so, than
any portion of lower Georgia that wc
buvo ever been in. Wc liud lands here
demanding a high price, when com
pared with the prices of laud in lower
Georgia. We are informed that the
average price is from three to ten dol
lars per acre. Iu future, we will take
pleasure iu giving the readers oi the
Sentinel a full description of the vir
tue aud properties of the mineral
springs, botn lower and upper. but must
defer tbr the present. B. O M
