Savannah, Ga., Aug. 25.—Editor
Morning News: A correspondent in
New York, under date of Aug. 12,
has addressed me the following letter:
“I inclose herewith a clipping from
the San of today, which touches
upon a matter in which we have an
interest, and it seems to me the press
of Georgia could do the state a great
service. It seems to iue that a ‘visit
to this market where the condition
aud stylo of tbe California fruit, the
rapidity with which this market
absorbs good fruit, would be object
lessons whose effect would be felt
throughout the state when properly
presented Take for instance lhe
viticultural industry of Georgia. I'
do not know that anything is being
done to place it opofi a tooting of
certainty and beyond the rea’ra of
experiment. California through its
legislature, appropriated $10,000 for
tbe purpose of examining into the
merits of the best verities to cultivate
aud tbe best methods to be pursued;
i iUd p viticultural commis
sion, a member from each district,
conristing ot men prominent m their
communities, who served without
pay, and the result of their work is
apparent in the flouiahing condition
of the industry. The state of Geor
gia has the possibilities ot soil and
climate and it remains for the people
to iLc to the occasion.” -
The extract frera Lhe Sun, of Aug.
12. is as follow?: “Th-i CaUtorni.iqa^
are rtc .iving pil- s of imuny from
New York this year for the excellent
fruits with wImc!! they supply our
markets, aud which get here before
those of any other i-tate. There has
be* n, withiu a few years, a surprising
growth of tbe city’s consumption of
California oranges and lemons, apples
and pears, peaches and grapes, plums
find prunes, besides wines of all kinds.
As a fruit-growing 6tate California
cannot be surpassed, and New York
has become ber best rasrket, a fai
better one this year than ia any
other. Our southern^ brethren, ex
cept the Georgians who raise melons,
do not embrace the opportunity of
fered laeni for ruppljrng this great
city with the choice fruits which
ripen early upon their a il. They
lose money by their negligence,
lions of money a year. Thera is
South Carolina lor example, which
ight grow rich upon the fruit trade
with New York, and might send us
even green figs to her advantage.
The southerners are not as enterpris
ing rs the Californians in this line of
business, though their land lies nearer
to us than the land on the Pacific
We have spoken on this subject once
or twice before, but the sou'.hi-
excepting the watermelon raisers of
Georgia, do not seem to comprehend
it very clear’y.”
Thinking it this sr-icle is properly
exploited by tbe pref* ui ll.e state it
ra : gli! lend renewed iuteicst to tbe
questi *n of diversified fruit products
in the fctate of Georgia, I- thought it
good judgment to send it to you to

is just as much a private business for

We call the attention of fru'-t and

Dlola Beard, colored, who lives near
Mr. Sanford’s, about two miles, from
town, waashot and killed on Friday
<ughtj and her husband, from whom
she has been separated for some
months, is charged with the murder.
According to the. evidence of a
daughter of the^woman, whowaar fiit
room al the time; delivered before
the coroner's jqry yesterday morning,
it seems that the deceased was hold
ing a light and looking at her baby,
when a shot was Ifired through an
open window from the outside. The
ball entered the bowels of the woman
and she fell back exclaiming that
her husband, Isaac Beard, had shot
her.
The woman's children, of whom'
there are several, went after assist
ance, and soon Mr. Willis Quarter-
man and Mr. Vann arrived at the
house. Dr. Dekle was sent for and
responded, but the woman was
fatally injured and beyond the reach
of medical skill. 6he died about
four o'clock in the 'morning. Before
dying she repeated to a nhqtber that
her husband had shot her.
It appears from the evidence of
several witnesses that the deceased
and her husband did not get along
very well together, and some nine
months ago separated. There was
trouble between the two about the
children, the husband demanding
them and the wife refusing to give
thhm up. He had been beard to
threaten her life in order to get pos
session of them and only a few weeks
ago was heard to remark that he
would kill tbe woman. This and
other facts, coup'ed with the dying
woman’s statement, point very stroD,
ly to Isaac Beard as the murderer.
Coroner Johnson was notified -of
the killing and at once summoned a
jury and repaired to the scene of the
murder.' After examining a number
of witnesses the following verdict was
rendered: '
GEORGIA—Thom as County:
We, the jury sworn by the coroner
to investigate the cause of the death
of D.ola Beard, deceased, fiud that
c.he came to her <teath on the morn
ing of September tbe 2ud, 1893, from
a wound inflicted ia the bowels with
a gun shot, 'Trom the evidence we
believe in the hands of Isaac Beard,
and we pronounce the same murder.

by the notice Mr. J. T. Curtright is

he will still remain with them.
“I am glad you have spoken a good
word for the shade trees of Thomas-

writer yesterday. “They are orna
mental and useful, and the city fathers,
as you say, could npt do a wiser thing
than to plant a certain number of
shade trees every year and see to it
that they are protected. I hope the
suggestion ot the Times-Enteprise
will be carrie J cut, and that the resi
dent streets ot Thomasviile will, before
many years elapse,be lined with beau
tiful shade trees.”
A vicious rattle snake was killed
on the place of Mr. J. W, Williams,

the same place, Mr.* Milton Wilson

one and twenty-six young rattlers.
The young ones had one rattle arid a
button, and would soon have been
ready for business.
If reports are true more than one
young man hereabouts will soon test
the question whether two con live as
cheap as one. Banks may fail, com
mercial enterprises may go to the
wall, but marriage is not yet a fail
ure. It is a good investment, insures
good paying dividends, and the stock
worth one hundred cents on theidol-
lar. In fact, in many instances, is
above par.
