VOL. XVI. 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- • Heating high excellence, and possibly that tho numbers ought not to be in- Creased or diminished MERCHANDISE; 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.

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 AtUnta fi rm fattened 5300 beeves last <>» cotton seed hulls at a profit -20.000.- I wo tram loads of these beeves were shipped from Atlanta to Philadelphia and sold there in com l )fetilion witU ^‘icago beef.

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.” Frequently accidents occur in the household which cause burns, cuts, sprains and bruises; for nse in such cases Dr. J.

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 There’s millions in it.—Atlan- ta Journal. Several citizens of Greensboro, Ga., are devoting much time to taming crows.
