Uecatnr County Georgia. SOME FACTS REGARDING ITS ADVANT AGES OF CLIMATE AND SOIL, AH A PROSPECTIVE HOME FOR THE IMMI GRANT AND SEARCHER AFTER HEALTH In thi3, which is the last of the series of letters on the above subject, I shall speak of the means of communication tbe county has with the out-ide world, the society, health, and reviev in a brief way. some of the points 1 have already treated on. The question of communication is one of paramount importance to those who pro duce crops intended for shipment, and I shall speak at some length on it. I’he .Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, extending from Savannah west ward find soon to be connected by an ex tension now being built, with the system of the Louisville and Nashville Railway to New Orleans and the notth-west, enters tbe county on the eastern side about mid way its north and south line, and will pass out at its extreme south-west corner. It is proposed to make the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway a part of a great trunk line between New York and San Francisco by way of New Orleans and the Southern Pacific. At Thomasville, 36 miles east of .Cambridge, the county site, close connection is made with the west via Albany, Macon and Atlanta, or Al bany, Ga., Eufaula and Mongomeiy, Ala. At Waycross, 140 miles east of Bainbridge, connection is made with Jacksonville and all points in South Florida. On the western boundary of the jounty is the Chattahoochee river navigable the year round as fur as Columbus, Ga., thus giving overture outlet to the west. This rivet also gives water communication with the Golf of Mexico at Apalachicola, Fla, a great lumber port. The Flint river which (Iowa into the Chattahoochee, di vides the county into two nearly equal parts and is navigable tbe year round as j far as Bainbridge, and improvements now) being made by the general government will make it navigable to Albany, 50 miles north of Bainbridge. About midway between the Chattahoo chee and Flint rivers, ruus Spring Creek, that can be used for rafting logs and such purposes. It will thus be seen that while the means of communication are not as they might and will be. si ill they are ample for present emergencies. The Savanunh, Florida and Western Railway is very lioer- al in i‘.s policy, giving shippers of early vegetables ami fruit quick tune and low rates. At Savannah such vegetables are placed on steamers, which run to New York semi weekly, to Philadelphia and Baltimore weekly, and to Boston and Providence every two weeks. Vegetables and fruit can be placed on the market, in either of the above named cities within, four days rfter being gathered. I would like to dwell at length on Ihe luture of truck farming in this section: During the preseut year and previous oues as well, very reinunurutive^esulls have followed the shipment of various things coming withiu this category. I know of one gen tleman who has made a net profit of $9.- 000.00 on 100 acres of watermelons; an other who has made $500.00 net profit ou 2 acres of Irish potatoes; another who has made $160.00 oii less than an acre of okra; another who has made handsome profits, I have not the figures, on 30 acres of straw- , berries. I have given these instances, not as representing the maximum profits that have been realized but as average evidences of what can be done. It will be evidently understood that the possibility of such profits carries with it a corres ponding risk ; if these ware always to be realized so many would enter the va rious industries that bring them that they would be reduced ; I have yet to fee, how ever. the first instance in which failure has followed intelligent and well direct-d ef fort. .Since these letters have been in progress 1 have received a letter asking for inf irmation as to the kinds of fruits that cau be successfully raised in the county. This is to me a prolific subject, and I could fill many columns with the injprnia- tiou asked for, aud thoughts suggested thereby. No very great efforts have been made in this direction, uutil withiu the past few years, enough has uow been done, to show the possibilities that lie open to those who make fruit culture a specalty, or raise it in connection with other thiugs fur home consumption. A moment s reflection wculd convince even the most skeptical that a section boasting such a soil aud climate must be the home ot many of tbe temperate regions and those of a semi tropical nature. Peaches can be very successlully raised, the early varieties ripening by the first of June and continuing until late in summer. The early and mid-summer apples do ex- ( cellently well. AViuter varieties are not so successful. Strawberries, fit to tempt the taste of a Syborite, can be growu in the open air for ten months in the year. Grapes, both of the arbor and bunch kind thrive well ; a succession ot varieties will grow here from June ’till October. Pears appear to be peculiarly adapted to the soil arnd climate ; especially is this true of a new variety originated in South ern Georgia within tbe last twenty years, and known as the LeC’onte Fear; recent shipments of this fruit have netted $6 to $8 per bushel; it is a fruit wonderfully prolific, one tree the Resent year having borne 35 bushels. The tree is easily prooegated ; cuttings will root and grow to a height of ten feet the first year ; the fruit its®lf ripening ebout the middle of July, the first shipment thisyearwas made July 4th, is as large as the Bartlet or Duches3, and judges pronounce it fully equal to either in flavor. It is oqe of the handsomest trees im aginable when growing being of a perfect cane shape, will bear at 6 years 3 to 10 bushels per tree, increasing from year to year until at 12 years it will bear 25 to 35. This is essentially the home of the fig, it grows and bears in a way to delight both the eyes and the taste. In conclusion on this point I will say that in no country under the sun can a greater variety of fruit be grown, and in no country are they subject to fewer draw backs. I have already spoken of the health of the county in a general way; want of space and a regard for the feelings of the editor of this paper, whose kindness I do not wish to tax too severely, forbids that I should go into details at lenght on this point; suffice it to say that the per son who regards the simple laws of diet and refrains from unnecessary exposure will enjoy as good health as he can wish, and should he be a sufferer from pulmona ry bronchial troubles in any of their varied forms, he will find relief, and should he be in its incipiency he will find a perma nent cure. I come now to speak of the social ad vantages to be had here; I approach this branch with more reluctance than I care to confess; it seems like dwelling with too much emphtsis on what must form the case, on a delicate subject, to say as much as could be said on this score. Then, too, the political cha'atans north and south have said so much on the want of congeni ality between the peop'.e of the two sections that my task is doubly hard. After mak ing due allowances for the different tastes developed by different circumstances aud surroundings I will hazard the ns=ertiou that no person from whatever section he may hail can remain long within the charmed circle that opens to the refined of either sex, in this sectiou without finding that h‘t3 hues have-been cast in pieasaut places. The people of the South are character ize l by a warm beaated hospitality that always captivates, and the people of this county are no exceptions to the general rule. Whatever demagogues may say to the contrary, the northern man. of any political party, who comes south to cast hts lot with the people, and r.ot to ride into office by the suffrages of ignorant negroes, will meet a hearty welcome; human nature is the same h*>re as else where, and the stranger who looses no op portunity to throw doubtful reflections on the people will meet with little favor, and neither does he deserve it. Politics do not constitute the whole gist of the thoughts of tbe people, and an entire sense of re finement will prevent remarks loved to be unpleasant. To sum the whole matter up. we have a soil that yields a wide range of products- and that in the matter of price is withiu the reach of all; a climate that it would be bard to improve; a people kind, courteous and hospitable, and that stand ready to welcome good men into their midst; that stand ready to yield the right of opinion to all. and that in return will expect the same right themselves. lie who could not be satisfied with these advantages is indeed hard to please, and need not expect to be satisfied this side of the Celestial world. Albert Winter. Bainbridge, Ga.. Aug. 3,1882. Perhain takes crow. Russell takes crow, McIntosh take^ crow, Grubb takes crow, and they all take crow in theirs—except a few.—Valdosta Times. No; we are not taking any “crow,” broth er Pendleton. As a Democratic journal the News And Advertiser acquiesces in the action of the State Democratic convention or. perhaps a more candid way to put it would be to say that we have ceased our antagonism to Mr. Stephens since he has been duly chosen aud declared as the nom inee of the Democratic party. Mr. Steph ens is not our choice for Governor, but to antagonize him now would be to antagonize the Democratic party atjd the expressed will of a majority of the people. Nay. more, to antagonize him now would be a breach of promise and an act of bad faith—we having been committed to the partv convention. We cannot consistent ly nor -conscientiously become a warm supporter of Mr. Stephens, but, as a Democrat, we can certainly afford to cease our opposition of him.—Albany Advertiser. “An Iowa man was fined forty dollars for squeezing a woman's thumb.” We didn’t suppose there was so much igno rance in Iowa. A man who mistakes a wo man’s thumb for her waist should be fined not less than four hundred dollars. Golden Graiaes. Ignorance is the mother of all evil. Whoever is suspicious incites treason. An idle man is like stagnant water; he corr upts himself. Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body. What seems only ludicrous is some' times very serious. Beauty without grace is a hook with out a bait. Better a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices. In this world one mast put cloaks on all truths, even the nicest. To select well among old things is almSst equal to inventing a new one. Strong thoughts are iron nails driven in the mind that nothing can draw out. The most completely lost of all days is the one on which we have not thought. When we say there is nothing new under the sun, we do not count forgot ten things. We must laugh before we are happy, lest we should die without having langhed. The destiny of nations depends upon the manner in which they feed them selves. Great men are like meteors: they glitter and are consumed to enlighten the world. If all the heores were frank, just and honest, the major part of the virtues would be useless to us. We attract hearts by the qualities we display ; we retain them by the quali ties we possess. Intelligent people make many blun ders, because they can never believe the world as stupid as it is. How many people would be mute if they were forbidden to- 6peak well of themselves and evil of others ? Beware^jfhtm who meets you with a friendly mien, and, in the midst of a cordial salutation, seeks to avoid your glance. The best government is that which renders the greatest number happy. Discretion is more necessary to wo man than eloquence, because she has less trouble to speak well than to speak tittle. The fllavor of detached thoughts de pends upon the conciseness of their ex pression ; for thoughts are grains of sugar, or of salt, that must be melted in a drop of water. Some Things I Have Noticed. 1 have noticed that when a horse gets up he gets np Forward first and jerks his hind parts after him, white a cow will get her rear half up and draw her forward half np in place; also, when drinking, a horse will draw in water rapidly with every breath ; the cow, on the contrary, will suck in one continuous draught as long as she can hold her brftth. I have noticed that sheep and goats are both butters, yet a shdep has to run a few eteps backward before he can butt, while a goat has to raise himself on his hind legs to execute the same movement. One is called a buck sheep, the other a battering ram. They are the only two animals I know of whose butt ends are in front. A squirrel can run down a tree head first. The cat and the bear must get down tail first. If your dog finds his way into your cellar and sees a Dice steak, he will steal it aud run out, but if your cat gets in and finds a steak, she will sit right down by it and eat what she wants (if net surprised before). I have noticed that a leather strap buckled about the height of yourself around a young tree in a few years will be away*beynnd yonr reach, but if nail ed at the same distance will nevei get any higher (only the outer shell runs up.) A man can stand on one foot iu the middle of a room and pall on his shoe while a woman must lean np against something to' accomplish the same thing. A man holds the needle in his left hand to thread it,.bat a woman holds it in her right. In one thing I think every one will agree with me : Dress a man as a woman dresses and you will freeze him to death. •Vavenfle Smoking. Some London gentlemen, with the eminent Dr. B. W. Richardson at their head, have done a good deed in form ing “The National Society for»ihe Sup pression of Juvenile Smoking.” They believe that the British boys are doing themselves incalculable injury by the immoderate use of tobacco and of the various ditty aod noxious for it and adulterations of it. A society with like purpose might be very useful on this side of the water if managed by the right sort of men and conducted in such a way as to show the boys the mischief of their course. Formerly it was a comparatively rare thing for a boy to be a regular smoker Now it is common for young clerks, errand boys and even school boys to smoke several cigarettes or cigars a day. The worst damage done is to their nerves. The boys do not believe it when they are told, but it is neverthe less true that the constant use of as potent a drug as tobacco produces dam age which caooot iu the ordinary course of things be repaired. Boys do not generally realize bow important it is that they should arrive at maohod with their whole mental and physical systems in the best condition. If smokers began to smoke at the age of twenty-five or thirty, the effects might be much less pernicious than they are ; for by that time the consti tution, if not damaged by youthful ex cesses and imprudences, is in a fair con dition to resist attacks which at four teen or fifteen may result in great evil. The boy* who smokes tobacco is laying up for himself an inheritance of nerve diseases ranging all the way from in digestion to paralysis. The fact that he docs not see this, and that he sneers at the advice of those who tell him about it, makes the habit all the more dangerous. The boy who wants to have, when he reaches manhood, a clear head, a bright eye, a steady hand, a good white set of teeth will do well to resolve not to smuke his first cigarette till after he shall have cast his first vote. The society which shall succeed in impress ing on the boys of this generation the truth of this doctrine and the import' ance of living up to it will accomplish a noble work.—Ex. Confucius. For one word a man is often deemed to be wise, and for one word he is often deemed to be foolish. We ought to be careful indeed what wc say. When the mulcitude hate a man, it is necessary to examine into tbe case- When the multitude like a roan, it is necessary to examine into the case. When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when wc sec men of a contrary character, we should turn inward and examine oar' selves. Things that are done, it is needless to speak about; things that have had their course, it is needless to remon strate about; things that are past, it is needless to blame. “It is according to rules of proprie ty,” they say. Are gems and silk all that is meant by propriety? It is music,’-’ the, say. Are bells and drams all that is meant by music ? The man who is fond of daring, and is dissatisfied with poverty will proceed to insubordination. So will the man who is not virtuous, when you carry your dislike of him to the extreme. What is the good of being ready with the tongue ? They who meet men with smartness of speech for the most part procure themselves hatred. I know not whether he be truly virtuous, but why should he show readiness of the tongue ? Do not be desirous to have things done qnickly ; do not look at small ad vantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thor oughly. Looking at email advantages prevents great affairs from being accom plished. I would not have him act with me who will unarmed attack a tigar, or cross ariver without a boat, dying without any regret. My associate must be the man who proceeds to action fall of solicitude, who is fond of adjusting his plans, and then carrying them into execution. Tommy asked bis mother if the school teacher's ferrule was a piece of the board of education. WIT A NO HUMOR. Au auctioneer once advertised a lot of chairs, which, he said, “had been used by children without any backs.” “We read io de good book,” says a col ored Baptist preacher.“of John de Baptist, never of John de Methodist.” A wag lent a clergyman a horse that ran away and threw him, and then claimed credit for spreading the gospel. “Wilful waste makes woeful want,” says the old proverb, and some fellows often have a woeful want for a wilful waist. “There now,” exclaimed a little girl, while rummaging the drawer of a bureau, “grandpa is gone to Heaven without his spectacles.” The following legend is inscribed on the front of a butcher's shop in Pennsylvania :< “Kash pade forlittel kalves not mourn two daze ole.” If there is one time more than another whm> a woman should be entirely alone, it is when a line full of clothes comes down in the mud. Iu New Orleans recently, Vincent Blbod (colored) cut William Thompson’s (col ored) throat. Thompson was trying to bite Blood's (colored) nose off. During a thunder storm out wes a book agent took shelter under a tree and was struck on tbe cheek by lightning. The lightning was badly injured. “Cast iron sinks,” is written on the sign of aciljr plumber. “Well, who in the (hie) said it didn't?” said an inebriate man, after reading it over three times. Now that the word “hymeninl” is so commonly used in reference to weddings, it is suggested that births should behead ed “crytnenial,” and deaths “dymenial.” During the recent freshet an editor tele graphed to another at the scene of action, “send me full par*'cularsof the flood.” The answer came, "You will find them in Gene sis.” There is an old lady without teeth out West, who wants to know if the Yankees can’t invent some wew way to put on pillow cases; meanwhile she nails the cases up against the wall aud drops the pillows in. A Philadelwhia officer who is very fond of a joke, got up a jury of cross-eyed men, and it took the Judge sonic time to decide whether io fine him for contempt of court, or laugh. One of the earliest sei tiers of the Isles of shoals seeing the name Psyche on the hull of a yacht the other day, spelled it out slowly, and then exclaimcn : “Well, ef that ain't the durndest way to spell fish.” Tbe colored preacher took for his text the words. “Though after my skin worms destroy the body, yet in my flesh I shall see God,” which he divided into three parts, as follows: “First, skin worms; second, what they done; third, what the man seen after he was eat up.” “What is the devil?” asked a Sunday school teacher of tbe new boy. who was quiro small. “I don't know what it is, but it can't run as fast as pa can.” “How do yon kuow that the devil can’t ran fust?” “Because, I beard pa say that he always catches the divil when he comes home late at night from the lodge.” A man started in the livery stable busi ness last week, and the first thing he did was to have * big sign painted, represent ing himself holding a mnle by the bridle. “Is that a good likeness of me?” he asked of an admiripg friend. “Yes, it is a perfect pictnro of yon, bat who is the fellow hold ing you by the bridle ?” At a party some young ladies were dis cussing the relative benefits of the spar rows and the worms, when one of the fair ones appealed to yonng Fizsleton, who had just joined them, and bad not caught the drift of the conversation. “Which do you think the worse, worms or sparrows?” What did the stupid brute do but answer innocently, “I don’t know; I never had sparrows.” A Satisfactory Explanation. “Hello, Boggs ! I hear you are going to be married,” said one gentleman to another, meeting on the street the other day. “Yes, Thompson; it is a fact.” “To that young lady I saw you to church with last Sunday ? “That is the prospective Mrs. Boggs, sir,” proudly replied the gentleman bearing that name. ‘•What a fool!” ~ •‘Look here, Thompson. Don’t call me a fool!” exclaimed Boggs, angrily, pulling up his coat sleeves, and throw ing himself in a pugilistic attitude. “Oh, you misunderstood me, Boggs I never called you a fool. I was refer- ring to the prospective Mrs. Boggs," replied Thompson, apologetically. And the two walked away arm in arm, apparently better friends than ever.—Ex. HilllaK the Cotton Worm at • Coot of a Cent and a Quar ter aa Acre. Prqf. J. P. Sfftle, in New York Cotta*. We do not know what London pttr« pie is now selling at in the leading cities of the cotton belt, bat suppose it mast range at figures somewhere between ft and 10 cents per ponnd, which ie bringing the cost of rottoo worm poison pretty low, you see. Undoubtedly it iff a good poison. The strongest objection that can be urged against it » its oolorj It is a reddish or purplish powder, and being very fine is not decidedly nice to handle, as a matter of course. But it does not stain the cotton which hap pens to be open at the time of making application—no complaints have ever been made in that particular. The arsenic employed by os in otxf experiments of last summer was the common- white arsenic, costing by the barrel, lauded in Texas, from three to four cents per pound. We snppcse it would cost about the same at the pres ent time iu either Mobile, New Orleans or Savannah. A permanent solution was made by adding to five gallons of water five ponnds of arenie and one pound of sal soda, and then boiling ' over a fhe in a common iron pot, until all tho arsenic was dissolved. This makes a solution of arsenic that will keep for any length of lime without the slightes precipitation. We have noW in our office a bottle of the sointiod made on this plan last summer—it is just as perfect to-day as it was on tbo day when we made it. Of this solutiou one quart was pdt into forty gallons of water, which wag then sprinkled over a field of worm in fected cotton in the usual way. It destroyed the worms, which were its strong force when the application nmt made, lcaviug tbe plants uninjured to any — extent worth naming. Several similar tests were made, all with uni form success. Forty gallons were found amply sufficient to go over an acre of cotton of ordinary growth. Here we have a remedy with whieh we can save our erops from the eotted worm at a cost of one cent and a quar ter per acre, l ating the price of arsenkl at lour cents per pound, and that of sal seda at five cents, which would be very high for the latter. This, it seems to us, is whittling the matter of costdoWn to a point decidedly fine. Of courw there must be addod in the final footing up of all outlays, the further cost of preparation and application, but one cent aud a quarter pays for the poison- And as to the cost of tbe application, it is no greater than that .of any other liquid remedy ; indeed it should not be so great, owing to the fact that the liquid is a perfect solution, and, there fore, does not require the agitation necec -ary to keep in suspension the in- solnable poisous, as London purple and Paris green. The extra cost of prepar ing the saturated sulution of araenie might be put down as a very spiallitem} but we thiuk this is more offset by the advantages of having a perfect eolation at the application, made in a moment, without the necessity of stirring and “gauming” for an hour or so with some kind of coloring matter, “daubing” np one’s clothes and everything else aroand after a manner that could scarcely be considered entirely argreeable. Noth ing of this kind in preparing the arsenie for the cotton field—you pour a quart of clear solution into the bung-hole of n barrel containing forty gallons of Water, and all is ready. And then, as to the saturated solution, since it will keep an indefinite length of time it may be.— made at odd spells wheirtiterHs noth ing else in particular to do. Coujual Contempt. Mrs. Topnoody was much agitated over the reports of small pox, and the other evening when Mr. Topnoody came in she said .* “Mr. Topnoody, are there any new cases of smallpox 1 n “Yes, dear,” he replied, setenely. “Oh, where are they ?” “In Pittsburg, dear.” “Indeed! Have you: been vaeei- nated ?” “Yes, dear; but I’m not afraid, any way. The smallpox has too mnrh mint to take a big, strong man like me.” “Oh it his, has it ? Well, Topnoody, I wish I had been the smallpox when I was young.” “Why, dear, I thought you feared it rnomily.” “I k now it, Topnoody; Bot if I’d been the smallpox then, maybe I would bar* bad too much sense to take yon, ten.” Then she looked at him with that cool, insiduous significance of a woman who has a man where the hair is short; and Topnoody got up ami went Out into the kitchen to start the fire.
