The past annual meetings have been numerously attended, and the exhibitions of fruits and vegetables practically demonstrated the vast resources of Georgia as a producing State. The impetus given to fruit culture and horticultural taste through the influence of the labors of this Association are visible through out tho whole commonwealth. The forthcoming session, it is confidently expected, .will he one of the most in teresting and useful ever held by the Society. All horticulturists, fruit growers, progressive agriculturists, and espec ially the ladies of Georgia, are ear nestly and cordially invited to attend and send such articles for exhibition as will make the display of Georgia grown fruits, flowers and vegetables creditable to the skill and prftgresa of its people. It is earnestly hoped that there will be a full attendance of members from every rection of the State, that cons centrated information and experience ot fruit growers may be obtained, thus aiding the Society to perfect the several catalogues of fruits and vege tables adapted to each geographical division. These catalogues are now the recognized reliable guides of the fruit growers of Georgia, and have had a most wonderful influence in developing its fruit-growing interests. The Society was organized in 1876 by a few public spirited citizens who have faithfully labored since lo pro mote the fruit-growing industry ol Georgia aud aid in tho higher educa tion of its people. They have paid with their purso and person, not oulv freely giving their labor, but paying for the publication of its proceedings, which have been distributed free of charge wherever they could serve the aims of the Society. The only rove nuo of the Society is derived from the annual membership fees, and, as this is lii ited, the Society is hampered in its scope. We need the co-opera tion of every progressive citizen of Georgia. If you canuot attend the session of the Society, aid it by be coming a member aud enable it to enlarge its sphero of usefulness. Tho past work of the Society has caused tho wonderful development of the fruit-growing industry, which of late has given several sections of the State a most rapid increase in its land values, as well os in an intelligent class of settlers from other States. You can still further aid in this good cause by coming to Rome, affiliate with the Society and enable it to show in a practical way that the fruit aud vegetable producing rescources ot Georgia are second to none and supe nor to those of many Jess favored sections of the United States. The citizens of Rome aro alive to the importance of the forthcoming set ston and will give you a hospitable welcome. The Southern Express Company, with its usual liberality and interest evinced in the success of the Society, will carry free of charge all packages of fruits, flowers and vegetables in tended for the exhibition. Packages should be addressed at follows: “GEO. H. MILLER, Romo, Ga*, for State Horticultural Society,” and the name of sender plainly marked on tho packaec. All articles for the exhibition should bo sent to reach the hall on Wednesday, August 3d, not later than 10 o’clock a. m.

FLAGLER’S BIG SCHEME To Bring South American Trade, to the Doors of the Eastern Market. Jacksonville, Fla., July 4.—The work of extending the St. Augustine railroad to New Smyrna i3 rapidly progressing. R. M. Flagler’s orders are that trains must bo running be tween those two points by August 1st. In fact, tho road will he completed by the first of next week. Mr. Flagler’s project is to follow the eastern coast to deep water. Men are working at New Smyrna, and large gangs are at Titusville, working from that point both ways. Further down the coast surveys are in prog ress looking to the building of an im mense iron pier, which shall cany trains safely to the outer waters of Biscayne.hay, where they can meet vessels ot the largest tonnage and of the greatest draught. This means the most direct route between the Atlantic seaboard cities and the West Indies aud South America, bringing New York, Phila delphia, Baltimore and Boston 180 miles nearer Havana than they now are via Tampa. It means bringing of the South American trade f ) tho very doorsteps of the eastern markets and the capturing from the Plant system of the fast mail and it at tendant trade and tra\ cl. It meanp, also, that the deep water port of Florida is to be at Miami nnd Bis- cayne hay. On top of this scheme is the project to build a railroad from Biacnyne hay over coral reefs, islands, keys nnd shallow water right into the heart of the city of Key- West, aud millions of New York and Philadelphia capital is behind it. The Clyde3 aro said to be in tho Flagler project, and alto gether the combination is a big one, financially and in influence. Trunks ! AH True A poor man can make his little money go further in the South ihan any other section of this country. 4. man of moderate means can find bolter opportunities in the South for engaging in business than in any other put of the country. A manufacturer with limited capital can find better sites, can buy h ; s raw material-cheaper and can make larger profits from his business in the South than elsewhere tn the United States. A man who can command, large amounts of capita! can find in the South opportunities for investments that will pay him larger returns than any other opportunities that the world can offer. The poor man must be industrious, the man of moderate means must be careful, the manufacturer must be a master of his trade, and the capitalist must have good judgement and use it. —Manufacturers Record. New^an^^le^anMineof these goods, just bought by our Mr. Elias in the north- west, and now on display. If you are in need of above articles call and see them. Straw Hats! IS THIS FOR YOU ? It will interest youjtojknov that there j is a largely increased demand lor our chocolate sets, they seem to have taken popular fancy by storm. We are not at any loss for an explanation. Popular judgment dotsn’t often make mistakes and it isn’t mistaken this time. These sets have fallen into general favor because they are designe 1 with the utmost care and skill and because they are the result of artistic and studied workmanship. What is perhaps as much to the point a3 anything else that can be said about them is that they are sold at figures well within the reach of little in comes. JOSEPH JERGER.
