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. it*** 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 ] llr their sacrifices and sufferings.

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.

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 season as the ground admit of the vines should ' be fertilized usmo- , i .. i . a ou onepoun o one mea vine, w ic i s ou e scoo e in. t e spring t \ mes wi pu or a nu m.ier of s oots, perhaps six o. eight, these should ail be ru e o reserving only the two strongest uear the first wire as possible; in the course of two or three in having grown to eight or ten length, should be pinched in and tioJ loosely to the first kee P in S the wind from blowing or plow fiotn breaking them off. We a find now ready for a second working ii a good plan to again the vines, using about a pint of ashes to each. Should the vines season set fruit this should be pinch- 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 until the middle of July or first of August, when all ‘ work should a n , . i? ini 8 owed *° mature t - the . fall e of the second season we find our vines ranging feet', in these' length from six to fourteen should pruned back, the strongest to top and the other to second wire, all laterals should be cut and the vine tied pransd; tlifl bottom wire is now only used to keep the main stem in post- tion and help support the vine. We are now entering our third son and the vine tied to the second and third wire; this season we rub off all bads or shoots except two strong ones, one on either side of each arm of the vine and near the top, these we tram to their respective Wires, they are intended for our next season’sfruit bearing wood and should be allowed to beat but little this year, the summer pruning.or pinching in and cultivation should be the same 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 le T, may be considered established 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.
