His example in this matter is worthy of imitation. .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. Away for the Summer. Thomasville is sending a larger num ber of summer visitors away this sea son than usual Among those that will leave in neat future we note the following: Miss Alice Jennings will leave to morrow (or New York, where she will spend several weeks.

A delightful time is anticipated. 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- Notice. The (58th monthly meeting of the Building and Loan Association will he held at the office of II. TV.
