Advantages of Southeastern Virginia.
Immediately after the olo^e of the war a
Dumber of Northern men purchased farms
in Nansemond and the adjoining counties in
Virginia and the salubrity of the climate
combined with the cheapness and produc
tiveness of the landR, induced these first set

that these lauds are equal in fertility to the
virgin soils of the far West: bat, with the
facilities for reaching the different markets
of the country and the very small cost of
cultivation, we do claim, without fear of
successful contradiction, that farming cau
be made as remunerative here as upon the
western prairie lands. Add to thi B the ad-
vantage of locating in a commnnity with a
thoroughly organized society, a good school
system in operation churches in every neigh-
borhood, and a climate in which the rigors
of northern and western winters are un-
known. and the intending emigrant can have
little hesitation in choosing between Virgin
ia and the West.—Noith and South.
A Promising Outlook.
Dr. James S. Hamilton came down to Au
gusta last evening and went up this morn
ing to inspect his plantations in Columbia
and MeDnffie. The Doctor is hopefni as re
gards the outlook for the farmers and the
country at large, and states in his straight
forward and sound way a deal of truth and
good advice. He thinks that a few more
rains iu July will make the biggest hind of
corn and cotton crops and settle the busi
ness interests of the country in the most
satisfactory manner. He is hopeful iu
every way, and regards the election of
Cleveland and Hendricks as not only possi
ble but very probable. “The chances are in
their favor,” said the Doctor, “and a better
day is coming for all of ns.” So mote it be,
and when that day is dawniDg there will be
no nobler man to enjoy its blessings than
this strong and universally esteemed son of
this proud old State. Doctor Hamilton is
one of the ablest directors of the old Geor
gia road, and bis wise oounsel and business
methods have time and again serv-d this
great and popular corporation.— Evening

Lumber in Virginia.

Sonbetween Lynchburg and Danville,
near the Virginia and Midland railway.
Theee mills are all looatod in shipping dis
tanoe of the railroad, and are in a oompass
of abont thirty miles. It is calculated that
they produce annually 1,300 000 feet of lnm-
ber to each mill, making a total of 32,500,-
000 feet of lumber, worth at the place of
shipment $10 per 1,000 feet, aggregating to
the manufacturer the handsome snm of $3,-
250,000. This lumber section was opened up
to the market abont ten years ago by the
extension of what is now the Virginia Mid
land railway from Lyuohbnrg to Danville.
It is thought by some that the freights paid
for lumber shipments over this road amount
to the handsome snm of $60,000 a year.

Oar Texas correspondent writes that Fan
nie May Witt, of the Stony South, has been
doing Corsicana, and that the Sunny South
is very popular in that city.
A drought is prevailing in most parts of
Texas, which threatens to injure the cotton
crop. The corn crop is secure and the yield
good. Wheat and oats are also good.
L. R. Williams was digging in a well at
Forney, when it caved in, bnrying him ten

Three Thriving Texas Towns.
The first thing that struck me on entering
Greenville was the court house, an elegant,
immense bnilding, conspicuously in the
middle of the square, and flanked on either
side by attractive business houses. Tnere
is a great deal in having a handsome court
house, and Texas has the best of any South
ern State.
GreeDvills cad boast of the best society,
more judges, the oharmingest hotel land
lady—everybody knows Mrs. Coffey, and the
handsomest young gentleman, a la-vyer, in
Texas. That is saying a good deal, for Tex
as is the biggest, grandest and most glorious
old State in the Onion. Greenville is a sub
stantial town, healthy and breezy and just
“too lovely for anything.”
Tyler is a handsome town, tony and alert;
built up in a sturdy, “square-toed” fashion
that looks as if she meant to hold her own,
and one day be somebody big.
As a rule, I do not think Texas has a great
many pretty girls—not so many as in the
old States bat being a girl myself, I am
not much of a judge; but Tyler has a great
many—more than her share, considering
they are not plentiful throughout the State.
Corsicana is a dandy little city with an
elegant hotel (the hotel has a great deal to
do with one’s impression of a town), and is
overflowing with hospitality and good will.
It is a typical Texas town, set in the midst
of rolling prairies, and found by the crisp
and life giving prairie wiuds that are so de
lightful, yet tan one so dreadfully. Every
body looks sunburnt, healthy and well fa
vored. Fannie Mai Witt.

The Virginia Tin Mine.
Of the tin ore discovered last year on the
Blue Ridge, in the eastern edge of Rock
bridge, the Amherst New Era of last week
says: “The news from the tin region is be
coming more favorable. There is a pros
pect that very tine developments will be
made in a short time. The tin has been
found over a region twenty miles in length,
and while no very deep propped ing hue been
done, the richness of ore and ihe increasing
width of the veins as the development pro
gresses are both encouraging.”
The Athens Banner- Watchman «ays: “We
learn from agentleman living in Gainesville
that Col. W. P. Price has just secured the
money to finish the railroad from Gaines
ville to Dablonega, and the contracts for
trestles and grading will be let out at once.
Col. Prioe has worked long and faithfully to
get a road to his town, and he deserves suc
cess. Col. Prioe had about bankrupted him
self building this road, but he is now ail
right. Tbe necessary capital was secured
in the North.”
We hail with delight the above informa
tion, for it means to ns of the low country
that when that road is completed to Dah-
lonega, Porter Springs will be brought
twenty miles nearer. As soon as tbe road is
built, Col. Farrow will open np a new road
way direct from tbe springs to the railroad
at Dablonega, materially shortening the
present route.— Brunswick Adv. and Appeal.
GEORGIA.
An outlay of $6 500 is contemplated by
one of tbe plans for the Atlanta building at
New Orleans.
The Capitol Commission has rejeoted all
the bids put in for building the State Capi
tol, and has advertised for more bidt to be
sent in by September 4th.
Country people complain that they are
kept awake o’ nights by the popping of the
growing corn. It will not make so muoh
noise after its ears grow out.
Considerable surprise is manifested that
after all the talk of building the new Capi
tol by Georgia contractors and with Geor
gia material, there are very few bids put in
by Georgia contractors, and not a single
bid in the State outside of Atlanta. For
some very important features of the work,
whioh oould be better done by Georgia com
panies than those outside the State, there
are absolutely no bids. How is this to be
explained? Georgia companies and Geor
gia contractors need not be surprised, nor
will there be muoh oan-e for indignation on
their part, if, owing to their indifference
and the absence of Georgia bids, the con
tracts are awarded outside the State.

is warm, is blown and held in shore; when
the wind is off shore the sorfaoe water is
blown out and cold water from the depths
below the surface takes its place.

A Few Words front Captain R.
W. Bonner, a Well-Kaowa
. Clef sea of Jlacea.
In Angnst, 1881, nearly three years ago, my
son, who was at that time living at Clinton,
Ga., came over to see me with the sad intel
ligence that hie wife was in the last stages of
consa mption and that her physician had pro
nounced her case hopeless. I went irairedl-
ately over, and I felt that nothing could be
don°. She was coughing and spitting inces
santly. and at times would discharge from
her lung< a large quantity of pus or matter—
could not sleep or retain anything on her
stomach, and was, in fact, in tbe last staees
of the disease. This w is about tbe tin e yon
began to advertise Brewer’s Lung Restorer*
and, aa my son expresseda desire to give it
to bis wife, two or three bottles were pro
cured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we
commenced giving it to.ber in small doses,
gradually increasing tbe quantity until tbe
prescribed dose was reached. She began to
improve alter a few doses, and continued to
do so daily until she was finally restored to
life and bealth, and is to-day perhaps in bet
ter health then ever before. She is subject to
colds, bu: a few swallows of Brewer’s Lung
Restor(whicb *he is never without) relieves
her immediately. I consider her restoration
to perfect healtu a miracle, for w-iich “be is
indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. My son
is almost a mono aniac on toe subject of
Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an
opportunity pass where he tbluks snch a
medicine would be required, that he does not
speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long
since a Northern gentleman on bis way :o
Florida heard of tbiBCure and was induced by
my son to give It to his invalid wife, and she
was cured as ii by magic.”
Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado,
says: See n? certificates of the wonderful
cures made bv Brewer’s Lung Restorer, I was
induced totry it on my little son, who was
troubled with luug or throat affection, pro-
nounced b one physician consumption. It
acted wonderfully on him. and by the lime
be had taken one bottle oi it tbe coush dis-
aopeared. I am how on a vis t to my parents
in Georgia, but will return in a few days to
my borne and will certainly take some ol the
Lung Restorer with me.
