Young, Wych Lin ton and Bufus Eaves have returned from the lake. They caught over a hundred fish. Had Too Much Whisky. The excursion crowd that returned from Bainbridge Friday night, seem cd quite different from the good nu- ttircd, fun oving party that left the depot here that morning. It was very evident that they had looked too long on the liquor when it was red, and several men who were securely hand cuffed, in one curl of u ear, showed that the officers had been vigilant, a-id that some of the party had conic to grief. The police had some diffi cult}' in managing the excursionists during the short time the trnin stop ped here. They fired off pistols, and threw uottlcs at everyone in reach, as the train sped along.

Ely, of Baker county, was iu town yesterday. Keifer’s Not Injured. Editor TiMjis-Knterprise : The statement in the Times-Ex- teiifrihk of yesterday, that the Kcif- fer pear tree? were “blighting badly’ is in my opinion, misleading. A blight that docs not seriously injure or kill the limbs of a pear tree is not “bnd.” 1 spent yesterday in exam ining the treesabout Thomasville, and I found less than ten per ceut. of the of the trees attacked at all; and the disease in every instance is confined to the new growth on a few of the fruit spurs, or other tender shoots, and stops there. In no instance did I see a branch ns large as a lead pencil, diseased. Our Keiffer pear tree.-, arc in no danger of being harmed by blight. The constitutional vigor and thrift of the Keiffer and LcContc pear trees, or some other inherent quality, ena bles them to successfully resist the deadly effects of that terrible malady that has been so destructive to the old varieties of pears, fur the Inst half century. Take care of the LeCoutc aud Keif- ter pear trees. There is more money in them than anything else that can be grown on our soil. IV. Jknn’in Thomasville, May 24. Non::—Our information was deri ved from several well-known aud sue- cc.-sful fruitgrowers. We are* pleased to learn that the trouble is confined to the smaller branches. The writer js a firm friend of, and believer in the LeConte pear, aud expects to see it weather the trouble, as well as the Keiffer.
