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 make such use of as you deem best.

He has established a mission and a Sunday school at the corner of Oak andJriLrson streets and fa making gojd progress in.th« work. He has been holding a stnes of meetings, and they are .well attended by the deniz-.-ns cf the dclectab’e local ty mentioned. On Friday afternoon the bar rooms, shops, stores and all kinds of business v.a> suspended on lowet Jackson street and the proprietors d 1heir customers turned out and u.dtd the services. They evinced, the parson informs us, deep interest in the subject of- pursuing a better course in life. The work undertaken is a most commendable one, and the Rev. J. H. Smith, who is a devoted and earnest worker, will haye the best wishes of a!) in bis eff >rts to reform Sandy Botom. The Gainesville Eagle gets off a great truth when it says: “It there is in the world a free horfe with a sore back that is ridden to weariness and fa igue it is tbe country newspaper, aud that, too, without the rider’s even furnishing a blanket A newspaper is just as much a private business for tho purpose of making a living for its publishers as a grocery store or carpenter’s shop.

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. > W.

Attention ts called to the dissolu don notice published elsewhere of Cur.right & Daniel. As will be seen by the notice Mr. J. T. Curtright is the successor to the old firm. Mr. Curtright has always been in charge of the business and is closely identified with the trade and people ot Thomas viile. He is a thorough and reliable business man and will give the.' same time and care to supplying the waits of his patrons aud triends that has characterized his past business course. Jack’s friends aroglad to know that he will still remain with them. “I am glad you have spoken a good word for the shade trees of Thomas- ville,” said a prominent citizen to the 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, measuring five and a half feet a day or tw^ since. On yesterday, near the same place, Mr.* Milton Wilson and a negro boy killed another large 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.

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. Washington, Sept. 2.—This <nora- ing Representative BrawJey,of South Carolina, called on the President, to satisfy himself of the condition ot the President’s health. He thinks the alarming reports recently published are absolutely false.
