.AtGreenwoqd.. .
Quite a parTyofiadles and gentle
men went out to Greenwood, on
Tuesday night, to witness a bee tree
cutting. In the weird fire light which
threw its glare through brake and
forest, the party watched the power
ful form of a negro man, whose
steady, sturdy strokes with an ax,
felled a giaut pine, in which the hoes
had builded. And when it fell—
well the party—including the ladies
—rushed to the scene, stopping, how
ever, at a safe distance from the bees.
Quite a quantity of honey was taken,
though a considerable quantity of
cc mb had not been filled out,. The
honey was taken without difficulty,
the bees behaving very handsomely—
no one being stung.
The party, in carriages and on
horse back, returned to town with
pleasant memories of the occasion.
A bee, it was said yesterday,
sought, presumably one of the sweet
est young ladies in the party, and re
turned to town with her, snug
ly concealed in her wraps. The
presence of the bee wns made mani
fest when entering town. A Hang—a
scream—and all was still. It is
doubtful whether the youug lady
considers the honor of being so at
tractive as sufficient offset for the
pain.
Mayor Hopkins, who is a veteran
in the bee treo cutting business, was
in command.
He Protests.
Rev. William M. Hayes, of- Fort
Valley, but who was formerly a resi
dent of Thomasville, has written a
letter to the Constitution, in which he
protests, in the name of the religious
peiJple of Georgia against the crand
bill, which is proposed to be given in
the new capitol, early in August. He
takes the ground that a lew people in
the capital city have no right to use a
building belonging to the people of
the state for such^i purpose.
If this principle had been carried
out there would never have been a
ball in our court house or city hall.

ren, at the Methodist church Tuesday

L. Wight, of Albany. The lmys

The|Experimental Farm.
Georgia has bought and now owns
a farm. The stale in thus going to
farming—and farming on scientific
principals—sets a good example to
her citizens. The following description
of the farm, which appears in the Con
stitution, will he read with interest:
It contains just one hundred and
twenty-four acres, almost within Grif
fin, and at the point where the three
railroads branch off. Thus all three,
the Central, Georgia Midland, and
Griffin and North Alabama arc within
twenty yards of the gate to the farm
house.
The dwelling is two stories and con
tains nine rooms, besides a hatli room.
It is surrounded by a grove ot great
oaks. The large front yard is beauti
fully carporated with Kentucky blue-
grass, evenly and closely mown. A
pretty fountain adorns the centre,while
its walks are bordered with evergreen
hedges. Hammocks swing between
the shade tress, and great rustic chairs
sit invitingly under the thickly leaved
extending boughs.
In the rear are the stables, barns
and servants’ houses, and a tank upon
a high tower supplying the dwelling
and fountains with pure, sparkling
spring water forced up by a hydraulic
ram from the famous “Hickory Springs’’
of the county, which are on the tarm.
Further in the rear is the fruit orchard,
with the limbs of the trees kissing the
ground, borne down by the weight of
fruits.. In it, covering three or four
acres, are peaches of a'l varieties,
pears, figs, apples, plums, mulberries,
grapes, apricots, fancy persimmons
and other fruits, all bearing in profus
ion.
Around this arc fields of growing
cotton and corn. A ten acre cotton
patch to the right yielded eleven hales
last year, and on a choice acre to the
rear Mr. Bates says he will pick two
bales this season. Adjoining these
arc fields of wheat, oats and clover,
from which this year’s crop has just
been gathered and which yields from
two to three times as much as the
si/rrounding farm lands. Indeed, the
Hates farm, or now the experimental
farm, is a splendid piece of land, and
in the very highest state cultivation.
Mr. Bates has spent much money on
the place and the land is as rich as it
is possible to make it by the most
liberal use of fertilizers. More than
$10,000 has been spent on it in recent
years to bring it up to the very highest
standard, and it has now reached that
mark.
To the north of the cultivated lands,
comprising nearly seventy acres, and
running up to the north side of the
house, is a beautiful green carpeted
grove ot oaks and hickories, under
which the pretty Jerseys are grazing
upon the young and tender hermuda
grass.
Further down, in the woods, is a fish
pond, shaded by great oaks and hick
ories, and teeming with thousands of
bream and pCrch. A few crumbs on
the water, and hundreds come to the
surface, nipping at the particles and
jumping out ol llie water and over one
another to capture the choice morsels.
The pond is an artificial one, into
which flows small streams from a half
dozen sparkling springs. It is ditched
around to prevent muddy water Irom
running in during rainy weather, and
consequently the water at all times is
as clear as a crystal.
At the head of this pond is the fa
mous Hickory Spring, flowing from
beneath the roots of a large hickory
tree on the hillside. From it pipes
arc laid, conveying the water down
hill to the ram, from which it is forced
into the tank at the house.
Above the spring is a five acre pas
ture covered and a wild growth of
btackherries, now ripening rapidly. In
it are a few head of cattle—a cross
between the Jersey and the Argylc—
which Mr. Bates considers superior to
the Tull blooded Jersey for this couti-
try.
The land of the farm is rolling, but
could hardly be c. Med hilly. It is nat
urally rich, but highly fertilized, and
will yield as much per acre as. perhaps,
any farm in the state. Griffin was
lortunate to get the experimental sta
tion, and the state acted wisely in sej*
lecting Griffin.
On the first of July the state will
take possession of the farm and imme
diately commence the erection of ad
ditional buildings and putting the land
in condition for experimental work.
However, this will take very little labor,
as the land is now in splendid condi-
lion for any tests that it might be
decided to make.
The commissioners will meet here
in July when the entire plans for the
management of the station will be
decided upon and work actively begun.
Fine Shooting.
At the last shoot cf the Thomas-
villc flun Club, Master Jamie Hop
kins, aged twelve years, won first
money in two sweepstake shoots, ami
came within a hair’s breadth of get
ting first in the third sweepstake.
Jamie is without doubt the best
trap shot in the state of his years-
