Representatives of the Northern
and Southern Presbyterian General
.Assemblies arc in session in Atlanta,
considcr ng closer fraternal relations
of tin 1 two bodies, and the possibilities
of ultimate organic union.
Tjik State Medical Convention re-
cent ly in session in V. aeon reported
the lull text of a bill tor establishing
a State Board of Health,to be submit-
tod to the legislature at its next meet-
ing. This is one of the most important
measures before that body, and we
hope the bill will pass.
AYolfolk's trial is postponed to the
first Monday in June. Ills Attorney
('apt. Rutherford, has been so over¬
whelmed with Herculean legal work
to clear the prisoner that he is broken
down, exhausted. So great is the la¬
bor to prevent a murderer being pun¬
ished for his dreadful crimes.

The New s thinks these gentlemen
should not stop at suggesting. They
.ought to decide upon the measures
most needed, frame them into a bill
in due form, with all the important
details, including the neeeessavy ap¬
propriation, and then bring such po¬
tent influences to bear upon the legis¬
lature that they will needs pass the
bill. If tho matter is simply a sugges¬
tion left to the average legislators,
an imperfect system with inadequate
approprition will probably result.

Oaklahoma does not prove to be

It will be noticed the News adds
the above to its name. It is signifi¬
cant of the mission of this paper. It
is devoted to the industrial develope-
meat of this Piedmont region, inclu-
ding commerce, agriculture, manufac-
tures and mining. It will notlimit its
attention to one class, but to all indus-
tries that develope the rccources, pro
mote the prosperity, and increase the
wealth of this interesting country.
H will do its part towards increasing
the busy population of our cities, and
tranforming the uncultivated wilder¬
ness into fruiti'u o'.cs.
WHY PIEDMONT JOURNAL?
Because the word “Piedmont” as
applied to the country along the base
of the Appalachian chain of moun-
tains extending from Virginia to Al-
abama, symbolizes one of the most ro¬
markable regions on the lace <of the
globe. Its climate is unsurpassed
for salubrity; its water is uncqualed
for purity; its mineral we: 1th is uns
ij m ited; its water power is itiexhius-
table; tssoil is capable of producing a
wider range of products for food and
; mu { Nothing than any other country
G f equal^exteut i„ ail* the wide world
besides. This region is the field for
the Toccoa News and Piedmont lu¬
ll s i al Journal.

ROAD CONGRESS.
The road congress will meet in
Atlanta in a few days. This is one
of the most important considerations
that can claim the attention of the
people. All are alike interested both
for comfort and for business. Farm¬
ers n ed! good roads to haul their pro¬
duce to market. Good roads radiat¬
ing from cities* long distances in the
country draw customers and increase
trade. The delegates from Haber¬
sham, are Messrs. J. \Y. Robertson
ami K * Schmfor; if the delegates from
other counties are of the same high
character*, measures will be adopted
resulting in great benefit to our state.

a
with a temperature not to exceed 70
degrees, niake few, this, where he built we under intend the to j
the house; a a can cellar 10 by 15 feet can! ]
be l(ricke d above to t |J
fieighth walls under of 4-feet ground and 3 cemented feet, fur less to j
than vGO; such a cellar will hold ID j
barrels and was just what I used two
years ago. A first rate vat can be im-
provised alcohol out of whiskey barrels,
while barrels will give acheap
substantial cask. Whisky or rum bar- j
rels should not be used for casks ,• n j
account of flavoring the wine. An j
improved Excelsior press and grind¬
er can lie laid down in Central Geor¬
gia for $28, while an outlay of $5
more will furirsh us with a good
saccharometer and aeidmeter.
The arrangements of vats consist
in taking cue head out of whatever
number of whiskey barrels you may
nee J, thoroughly washing them and
nailing four upright cleats of say one
inch in tickness and four inches long
to the lower inside of the barrel pre¬
paratory to receiving a false bottom
which can readily be made from pop¬
lar slats one inch by three,with space
of quarter of an inch between slats so
as to allow must to ferment and pass
through with ease.the space between
false bottom and bottom of barrel can
be filled with clean drvoatstaw seas
to filter the wine after fermentation,a
hole should be bored in the side of
the barrel about two inches from the
bottom and a faucet inserted; the vat
is now ready for use, an 1 should be
placed on a rack high enough to ad¬
mit a bucket under the faucet. Hav¬
ing gathered the fruit free from dew
and rain, grapes can now be ground,
taking care not to put in green or de¬
cayed berries; the barrel or vat can
be filled to within 8 inches of the
top, when another false head with a
number of holes bored m it should be
inserted, this will be kept in posi¬
tion by the contraction of tho barrel
toward the end and is intended to
keep the pomace well under the must,
the holes allowing its passage during
active fermentation w hi a usually
• .se- 4<>or 50 at tho end of
which the must or wine as it is then
willhavea rough or bitter taste and
should ire drawn off and put m casks.
Alcohol barrels,properly cleaned will
be found to answer the purpose well.
Fill these to overflowing wifh wine,
equalizing the darker juice pressed
among the different barrels, place on
bungliole half dozen or so grape
leaves and a small sand bag about 4
inches square and let it work off all
pomace, etc.; the barrel should be re¬
filled every morning, as long- as ac¬
tive fermentation continues, and new
leaves placed under sand bag when
necessary. At the expiration of ID
or 20 days vou can bung up vour bar¬
rels and then allow them to remain
quiet until say December or January
when the wine should be racked off
into clean barroU takiiur car« in
disturb the lees or even'lillow muddv
wive to should be put in the new barrels,
which again be buuged nn
and allowed to remain until after the
second fermentation which will take
place during the following summer.
After wine has become still and has
been allowed time to fine it should
be racked off again, taking even
greater pains than before with the
casks, these -should bo thorough¬
ly rinsed until every particle of the
lees is out and then if necessary sul¬
phured, the wine should now remain
quiet untill the following spring
wi en it can be bottled or racked off
into Up shipping packages.
to now we have been dealing
with dry wine made from normal, or
properly balanced must. Should out
season in its be unpropitious this will not

the saccharometer and the acidrneter
cau be used to advantage. Should
your must contain a greater amount
of acid than is necessary, and should
this not be rectified by the addition
