VOL. XVI.
Surgeon General Hamilton '
Does not anticipate an epidenie of
yellow fever in Florida next summer,
He thinks the great precautions tak-
en will prevent it. The president has!
$250,000 to fight epedemics. Four
fumigating steamers are to be built
for the South Atlantic stations to cost
$20,000 each.
The crowds of **** hungry office seekers j
1
increase every-year, their numbers !
will soon reach among the hundreds
of thousands. This is too much of a
strain the president; he should be 1
on
relieved. The spoils system should
be abolished. Eligibility to office'
should be merit and fitness for the
duties, not party zeal. A non-par-
tizen board should be created by law,
whose duties will be to make all ap¬
pointments, subject to approval, and
allow the president time to attend to
more important official duties.

The late fire at Savannah was a I
serious Wow to the city. The loss is I
.
about $700,000; the insurance S450,-
000. The plucky people do not stop
to mourn over their losses. Am.dst
the burning embers, and soon as
hot bricks were cool enough to handle, ;
they began to clear away the debris,
preparatory to rebuilding. The loss of
the Independent Presbyterian church
was deeply felt. The venerable and im
posing structure, its quaint pulpit, and
many other adornments will be diffi¬
cult to replace. It was built in 1817,
and cost $196,000. It cannot be re-
placed for twice that sum. Yet i* will
be rebuilt,—a counter part of the old
edifice.

It is appalling to read of the devas¬
tation of the elements in various parts
of the country Jast week. Fires
swept over the western prairies con¬
suming everything in their course.
Terrifiic windstorms, on swift wings,
carried death and destruction in their
pathway. Farm houses, barns and
whole villages were wiped out of ex¬
istence; hundreds of horses, cattle,
sheep, and swine, and some human
beings were killed, and people fled in
wild terror to escape the mad fury of
these death dealing storms of wind,
of sand and of fire.
* * * *
IIow happy the contrast here in
Toccoa and the country round
bout. No raging fires, no fierce winds,
no destructive storms of snow have
disturbed the serenity of this peaceful
region. The weather has been delight¬
ful; the busy farmers have been plow¬
ing the ground and sowing the seed
for abundant harvests. 1 he sun has
shed forth his mild rays, gentle show¬
ers have moistened tho earth; grass is
springing up in the pastures and grain
in the fields, covering them with the
richest green; peach orchards are
gorgeous with their lovely blos¬
soms; forest trees are putting forth
their leaves and all nature is awake
w ith the beauty and attractions of
spring.

Frederick Douglass is receiving
distinguished honors in Florida. On
his arrival in Jacksonville, two thous¬
and voices shouted a welcome amid
the din of five brass bands. A pro¬
cession was formed comprising the
Mayor, City Coun.nl, board of public
works, officers of the Sub-Tropical ex¬
position, colored ministers and peo-
dle, forming a procession a mile tong.
They marched to the exposition
building which was crowded to its ut¬
most capacity, where he delivered a
very eloquent address. He was ten
dered a special car to St. Augustine,
where similiar honors awaited him.
In the opera house he was introduced
to an immense audience by the May-
or, and he delivered his speech amid
loud applause. How times aie changed
and how we are changed with them.

Mr. Henry W. Grady’s stirring
and pathetic appeal for a Confed¬ *
erate Home in Georgia is met with *
sympathetic and enthusiastic response
in all hearts. It was a word spoken
m season, “Like apples of gold in
pictures of silver.’’ The Constitution
containing the appeal sped over the
State on swift wings, and before the
ink was dry, the lightnings carried
back the throbbing responses in fives,
in tens, in hundreds, m thousands.
There were tears. The long pent up
affections for those who bled, were
loosed, and fresh memories were a-
wakened of the helpless, bereaved of
those who lie low, sleeping. Daily the
sacred gifts continue to pour in until,
in less than a week, $25,000
have been received, That
so large an amount from small
luma should be reached in such a
short time Is probably without a par-
allel. Not only the $30,000, but
doubtless $50,000 will be
and thefe will soon be a Georgia
Confederate Home;
* * * *
People of Toccoa, Habersham and
neighboring counties, we believe you
will gladly do your part in this noble
work. Some may hesitate because
they fee ] tbey can do so little Do
not let this deter youjyour mite,though
gma n, may be 'large; the Heavenly
Father will see it and bless. It tvere
f ar better that this Home beconseera-
ted by the contributions of many,than
© be monument to the
c; of a few. There would
be -something glorious to realize that
50,000 persons had contributed one
dollar each; the poor soldiers would
lift their heads proudly and feel they
were not paupers, indebted to the
charity of a few rich men; but the
Home would be a symbol to
them of the appreciation and grati-
(ude of , he people a „ over our great

MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD.
The presence of Miss Willard was
an interesting and long to be remem¬
bered event in our city. She came to
visit the Rev. P. S. Whitman and lady
and renew the friendships of former
days.
In company with some of our citi¬
zens she visited the Falls which she
admired for their picturesque beauty.
In the afternoon, Miss Anna Gordon,
her private secretary, addressed the
children in tho Methodist church.
This interesting lady is remarkably
gifted. Children and grown people
alike were fascinated by her charm¬
ing manner, pleasant voice, and earn¬
est words. The moral precepts, the
interesting stories, the object lesson
in tho burning alcohol, the imaginary
gloves drawn on the hands, each fin¬
ger representing some good resolve,
all made a deep and doubtless
lasting impression on the minds
and hearts of the children.
Many readily united in a
society called Loyal Legion. When
she dismissed them she shook hands
with each, and several of the girls
were so affected that they went a-
way wi;h the tears rolling down
their cheeks.
In the evening a large and intelli¬
gent audience assembled in the
Methodist, church to listen to the ad¬
dress of M iss Willard. She was in¬
troduced by Rev. P. S. Whitman,who
made made the following remarks:
I wish to say to you, my neigh¬
bors and friends, that what we have
enjoyed this afternoon, and what we
expect to enjoy to-riight, has a con¬
nection with an event which occurred
many years ago and far away. In
our early life, my wife and myself
thought we must see a part of the
country of which we had heard so
much—the Chicago world; then very
new. We traveled, and as we came
to the region where the Rock River,
with its banks here and there shaded
with forests, flows through those rich
and beautiful prairies, we thought it
the most fascinating scene our eyes
had ever beheld. We were young
and nothing seemed better than to
own one of those beautiful farms
We made our purchase, and when we
h ad got settled in our new home,the
incident occurred which wo have al¬
delighted to recall and to which
j we [, ave already adverted as having a
j c j ose connection with this occasion,
One morning we saw the gate open-
('* was sorne distance from the
house,) and through it passing a doub-
le-seated bu^gy. It was Mr. Willard,
a man well known among the early
settlers of that region for great firm¬
ness of character, perseverinor energy
and high moral and intellectual cul-
And as he drove along the
trac we noticed he had two girls with
him—yes, he was bringing hisdaugh-
ters to see us—one' about the age of
II, the other 13. When the day had
worn on he left;- but those daughters
remained with us. And whatever en-
hung over the farm before,
was much increased by the presence
those girls as long as tbey stayed
^vitb us. They saw in my wife the
first they knew of the Southern wo*
man—and she saw in them the first
she knew of the Northern girl,
The younger of th*girls, when ah©
The Toccoa hews.
TOCCOA, GA. APRIL
had finished her “nineteen beautiful
years,” withdrew frbm the earth; the
other remained to prosecute, as yen
know, a career of peculiar blessing to
the age in which we live.
Two vears passed, and from that
time had never mel the surv iving
daughter until she alighted from the
the irain liete ih Toccoa to-day.
That visit of the girls gave us much
satisfaction at tho time; but we
have the end of it here in Toccoa lo-
d ay and to-night IIow little the fa¬
ther knew, when he brought his
daughters \o see us, what he was do¬
ing. It was the honored father,
many years in advance, himself intro-
duciug his beloved daughter to you,
gebd people of 'Poccoa to-night.
It is just one scene,my friends,cim-
mencing for the entertainment of a
select few in that seclusion on the
bordey of a Wisconsin prairie, but
waitifig for this beantiful village in
Georgia, known as Toccoa, to spring
up, where it might end—waiting for
so many of the young that we see
here to-night, to be born and grow up
to be here at the close and enjoy with
us all the best part of the scene.
Good people of Toccoa, it is the
distinguished President of the Na¬
tional Woman’s Christian Temper¬
ance Union that is here before
Miss Frances E. Willard.
Miss WJllard arose, and in reply t<>
Mr. Whitman’s remarks, she alluded
to her childhood days on the home
farm; the visit of herself and sister
Mary to Mr. and Mrs. Whitman; of
the many happy hours they spent
there, among books, pleasant conver¬
sation and sweet music. Mr. W. in a
large measure was her teacher, and
from Mrs. Whitman she received her
first lessons in French; she has her
Ollendrof still. Years afterwards,
when study ing French in Paris, her
mind often went back to her loved
teacher in Wisconsin with happy and
fond remembrances. She emphasized
the high esteem and deep affection
she entertained for these beloved
friends;she made most touching allu¬
sions to her pareiits and deceased sis¬
ter, rnd said to Mr. Whitman, “Broth¬
er, though we are sepa ated here, yet
I look forward to a joyful meeting
in tho not far distant blissful realms.”
We will not attempt any abstract
of her address. She is a woman of fine
appearance, splendid physique; ’ has
f full „ self ,, confidence C1 before , , an audience,
yet modestjher voice is notloud,but mu
sical and can bc distinctly heard with¬
out apparent effort on her part. Iler
manner is conversational rather than
declamatory; her style is epigram¬
matic, yet it often swells forth
with graceful cadences into extended
periods. Her address sparkles with
with wit, irony, anecdote, often pa¬
thetic, bringing tears. She easily
ranks among the foremost of living
orators.

FRANCES AND MARY WILLARD.
[Tdccoa, April 9,1889.
After Miss Willard left, I opened
a bundle of old papers and found the
following stanzas, written, it seems,
in memory of the time when she and
her sister were staying at our house
in 1853. P. S. Whitman.]

cultivation of the vineyard.
Tho first year after planting, noth¬
ing will be required but to keep the
ground well pulverized and free from
weeds or grass. Selecting the strong¬
est shoot, this should be trained to the
lath, rubbing off all others as well as
water sprouts, which might be found
growing to the crown ;the shoot train¬
ed to the lath should be pinched in
after reaching, say 10 or 12 inches, it
will then throw out laterals which
should be pinched back, j causing the
growth of what is to be our main
stem to become short jointed, strong
and stocky. With proper care and
cultivation we should have at the end
of the first season, (in strong varie¬
ties) a growth of five to eight feet,
in slow growing, hardwooded varie¬
from two to five feet. During
the fall or winter of this season posts
should be placed in position and the
trellis provided; this can be done by
putting down good strong posts at a
distance of thirty two feet, tho vines
being eight feet apart wiM allow four
between posts, the end posts should
be substantially braced: the first wire
stretched about two feet from the
ground, the second eighteen inches
above the first, the third eighteen
inches above the second. When the
vine grows heavy, , if ., you r find j the i wire
to sway you can easily drop ill a
smaller stake between posts, butthis
will not be found necessary until the
third or fourth year, if then. The
vines should now be cut back to an
inch or two above first wire and tied
taking proper care not to strangle it;
as earlv in the following wTll or second

ed off; laterals to the twd canes should
be allowed to grow, but for reasons
already given severely pinched back;
the vineyard should be plowed at reg-
ular intervals of about three weeks

We are now entering our third

as heretofore described. At the end
of the third season ve find our vine
composed of two upright arms with
two lateral canes each trained to right
and left on their respective wires;
these should be cut back to about 4
budsj and securely tied, the vine will
then present the appearance of a doub

and allowed to bear from four to six
pounds of fruit. This season those
canes or horisontal arms will put out
laterals from each bud which should
be trained to hang from the right and
left over 2 wire?, these laterals should
all be pinched in,commencing soon as
the leader has developed two leaves
beyond the button or embryo fruit
bunch, except the laterals nearest
the upright arm on each of the canes,
this should be allowed to grow un¬
molested until it reaches about three
feet, when the leader sh» u'd be
pinched out; this lateral is intended
for our fruit bearing cane the next
season and should be carefully looked
after. At pruning time of the third
season the horizontal arms should be
away just shonld beyond the first lateral,
which then be cut back to a-
bout four feet and tied to the wire in
the will place of the the arm just removed,and
become fruit bearing cane
for the next season. From now on
the treatment of the vine and its cul-
tivation remains the same except as
to fertilizers; here we should use bone
meal one season and wood ashes the
next. We undertake to cultivate the
vineyard from five to six inches deep
