Maysville.
A MORAL, INTELLIGENT AND
HOSPITABLE PEOPLE.
: /2JCJ / fa /;m /av
*1 have just visited J/avsvilU for
the first time,' 1 remarked gentleman
a
to the writer; “it is one of the most
attractiVe towns for its si/' 1 know
of; its people 'are intelligent and re*
lined, its mtTchants are energetic, g O-
ahead business men, and it has a
splendid country around it.”
Maysville is one of Georgia’s young-
br cities, having 1 eeii incorporated
only five years.
It is pleasantly situated on the
North Eastern railroad IS miles from
Gainesville and 20 from Athens, in
t wo counties, the county line of Jack-
son and Banks passes through the
iowm
The surface of the country on which
the town is built is undulating, the
dwellings nestle in the midst of flowers
ami »l.nil.l.<-ry c-slalaling much rc~
lino,","t : *,l taste.
'I here are three churches, Baptist
Methodist and Presbyterian, . having , •
CO mfortable ebureli edifices of sulli-*
cient capacity to accomodate the
present needs of the city, each having
excellent pastors.
The congregations are large, the
praver meetings are well attended, and
the Sabbath schools are flourishing and
well conducted. This is an intelligent,
moral, church going community, the
religious and social advantages being
among the chief attractions of the
town.
In common with the entire Pied¬
mont region, this place is proverbial*
lv healthy; it is elevated nearly 1,200
feet above the ocean; tlie bracing at¬
mosphere, the equal temperature, not
subject to extremes of beat or cohb
the pin e water,the absence of malarial
influences, all make it an exceedingly
desirable location for summer and
winter tourists from less favored
climes, as well as a place of portna-
nont residence.
For tin* accommodation of travel¬
lers there arc excellent hotels and
boardinghouses. An additional ;liotel
is needed, and one of considerable size
would doubtless pay well as an in¬
vestment. The professions are repre¬
sented by the
Ni xiuKit Tin: he;
there are three ministers, three 1 dee-
tors and three lawyers; as this num¬
ber three has always been symbolic
among the nations, frequently denot-
itig- completeness or perfection, it
doubtless is significant of the cl.arac-
ter of the gentlemen representing ; the
learned professions in Maysville, in-

The business of the town is quite
extensive. There are seven or cigh'
stores, most of theih doing a good
business, and some of them carry
heavy stocks of goods; their aggro
gate sales during the year is largc ;
tliis being the center of trade for an
extensive and highly productive
FARMING COUNTRY.
The following interesting Joltor
just received from a citizen of i/ayss
villo, briefly indicates the possibilities
:md resources of the country tributary
to tho city.
“The general productive soils of this
region are the gray and mulatto. Th *
forests are heavy and dense, compos-
ed mainly of oaks and pines, an
some poplars. Common fau.t.
very well in tins section. Corn,wheat
and oats are productive. Garden veg¬
etables do well, and truck farming
would be very profitable. Cotton
raising is the chief industry, and is a
good business for those who under-
sta id it.
“The mineral and metal resources

VALUE OF THE ONCE-DESPISED
COTTON SEED.
There is an astounding statement
printed to the effect that—
“The hulls of the cotton seed of the
^ stale9 wil , produoo more becf ,
butler; m q k an d cheese, more wooi
and mutton than all the clover and
blue grass of Tennessee, Kentucky
anr -' Ohio.
And yet it appears to be true.- An

beeves were shipped from Atlanta to
Philadelphia and sold there in com

Mr. Joel Chandler Harris, an au**

and aays the result in milk, butter
and beef is amazing. Iu the South-
c n Farm Mr. W. M. Towers, of
Rome, writes of a test between corn,
cotton seed meal and cotton seed
hulls, in which the latter i.
vastly better results
And yet until a year ago cotton
seed hulls were used as fuel for en
glues or cast, away as worthless. Of
all the plants that grow, cotton is the
miracle; and its wonders are not vet
tried. Its little black wrinkle seed is
as full of meaning as an old //ebrew

PAPEROVERCOATS
“If the clothmakors don’t get tiiat

next winter lie’ll make a big fortune,
and millions of overcoats will stay m
pawnshops, where they are now,”
said Harry Parker. “He hasn't got
the idea worked out yet as far as he
will probably go, but he made enough
vests and undercloths last winter to
create something of a pianic among
the St. Taul clothiers, where he made
his first business experiment on a lug
scale. The paper is prepared so that
it is as soft as cloth, and the cold
cannot penetrate it. My father is en¬
gaged in an open air occupation, and
likes to experiment, so he got one of
these vests and wore it with an over-'
coat all last winter with great com-
fort. Next winter he says he intends
to come out on the streets in a full
suit of it.”

Crows do much harm on the farm

HARM
1. They destroy hens’ eggs and

2. They damage corn very serious¬

8. They destroy the eggs and young
of birds.
4. They distribute the seeds of poi¬
son ivy poison sumach, and other
noxious weeds.
5. They destroy useful insects.

1. They do good by destroying in¬

oufauisj fruit eRor ever known.
A million dollars worth of fruit.
That is what the crop this year is
worth i round numbers to the peo-
pie cf Georgia.
For three years the trees rested
from their labors, and the yield was
small. ft seems as if they were sav
mg their strength to make one might-
y effort.
And Potnona smiled on the hills
and valleys. Never before in tho
history of Georgia has such a fruit
crop been known.
THE FRUIT MARKET.
F ho tremendous yield of fruit has
taught the plantei s c Georgia a le
son, has demonstrated to them a fact
which they did not believe before.
There has been a market for every
peach, grape, pear and watermelon
raised, and good p have been
pant.
The market cannot be glutted. If
Gvery inch of Georgia’s soil was plant¬
ed iu fruit, with judicious handling
and packing, there would be hun¬
dreds of dollars made to every acre.
Mr. J. F. Simona, one of the best
posted fruit shippers in tho State, is
responsible for tho above statement,
and he must know what he is talking
about.
I u Philadelphia, peaches aro sell¬
ing at £1,000 to £1,800 a car load,
which is at the r ate of £4 a bushel. A
car load contains from 300 to 400
bushels.
In the western markets grapes find
a ready sale at £1.25 per basket of 10
pounds.
Le Cor.te pears bring £1.75 per
box. If repacked and wrapped in
paper by the shipper they sell at a
better price.
Grapes can be sold anywhere at
from 4 to 7 cents a pound.
WH AT TIIE CHOI’ WILL. «E.
The peach crop alone will be worth
a half million dollars in round figures.
This estimate is based upon figures
of several prominent fruitgrowers.
Tho grape, pear and watermelon
crops will be worth over half a mill¬
ion.
This makes the total fruit crop
•worth over a million dollars.
And what aro the possibilities?
A New York commission house
writes to an Atlanta shipper tiiat he
is filling orders for California peaches
with those grown in Georgia. Cali¬
fornia peaches are finest in tho world
And some of rtfcj Georgia specimens
are as fine and sell for the same ar¬
ticle.
“Our orders usually read,” writes
tho samo Now York house, “for Cali-
nia peaches, and if they can’t be had
then Georgia peaches.”
THE BANNER COUNTY.
The banner fruit county of Geor¬
gia is old Houston. Her peach crop
this year is worth over ono hundred
thousand dollars, and grapes and
pears will bring another one hundred
thousand. Of course she ships her
share of watermelons.
WIIAT ONE MAN I1AS DONE.
A few years ago S. H. Rump^aged
lo,started a fruit orchard at Marsha 1-
ville, Ga. lie was but a boy and lie
lost money year after year. His
friends laughed at his “folly.” But
he persevered, Experience came and
his fruit crops began to pay a small
profit. He propagated tho finest
peach grown in Georgia to-day. it
was named “Elberta,” after his wife.
That one peach made Rumph a rich
Rumph owns the Willow Lake
narseries, and this year he has so far
made £20,000 clear profit. He was
recently paid £1,600 for 380 bushels
of peaches. Ho has been offered 50
cents a bushel for his I.eConto pears
as they bang upon the trees.
There are certainly wonderful pos-
sibiiities for the fruit growers of Geor
