BtairmA'to PECAN CULTURE. ltd Growing Importance Emphasised by Cairo Cltlxen Tl-e Times-Enterprise is in receipt of the proceedings of the Seond Annual Convention of the Nat Growers' Asso ciation held recently at New Orleans. Many prominent South Georgian's are members of the Association. Mr. J. B. Wight of Cairo is vice president from Georgia of ,1110 Association. He pre sented a very interesting paper on “Pea- osn Caltoro in Georgia, which is in part reproduced herewith: "The pecan is at home in Georgia, and it is there to stay. Here and there in the state are trees a half century or more old, which have for a long time been annually bearing crops of nuts which are unoxoelled in flavor and oth er good quail tire. For deoadei these old trees failed “to point a moral or adorn a tale.” Bat people after awhile began to reason that if a single tree is profitable, a whole grove' may be made eqnally so. And so they began to plant pecans, and are at it still. There are now exceeding 3,000 acres of groves in tho state; while more than twice this quantity is contemplated being set with in the next two years. Within a ra dius of a few miles In Mitchell county, Georgia, there are more meres in culti vated grovea than within any other equal area in the world. These trees, where intelligently cared for, are doing well.- There ia one change that ia well to note here. The settings of pecans first made were, almost without exception, seedlings. Many of these, when they oeme into bearing, were disappointing in the rise and quality of the nnts. Tho result has been that more reoent settings have been more and more of budded and grafted treere Onr hugest pecan nursery reports that the sales of these have been proportionately greater this season than ever before. This is an ad vance that is well worthy of note. Other varieties of nnt trees have been tried in the atato. but outride the hick ory and the black wolnnt, moat of them have meg with indifferent succeas. The English walnut, owing it ia thought to some weakness in the root, generally dies before it reaches the bearing age. Efforts are being made to overcome Jiis defect— 1 with wliat snoeess, the future will determine. The Japan walnuts are hardy and pro lific. They make beantifnl trees and are rapid growers. The qoality of the nuts is the chief bar to their timing successful rivals of tho peoans. The Japan eheetnnt haa proved to be poor in quality, deficient in froitfnlnese, and (object to attacks of worma. Fu ture Introductions or breedings of this nut may make it more’derirable. Other varieties of nuts liave bcon tried to a limited extent, but they have yet to establish their value among us. In conolurion, let me say that in nnt cnltnre, we know where the thorns and brambles are, as well as where the fruit fnl fields lie; and knowing these, avoid- ing the one and cultivating the other, we feel sure that sneoess will continue to crown our efforts." The prooeedings contain a vast amonnt of interesting reliable and up-to-date in formation in regard to nut-onlture, and any one desiring a copy of them can se cure it’from J. F. Wilson of Poulsu, Oa.

Lard is produced from hog fats, sometimes impure,'always indigest ible, and there's a good day coming when no one will think of ueing it for cooking.

The decoascd was in the army of the Confederacy, and attended every re union of veterans that has been held in Georgia since their organization. Mr. Smith was woll know in Thomaa- ville. He resided here for several months not many years ago and made speeches in this vicinity that are woll remembered. He wrote a poem on the confederate soldier that is ospeolally noted among ThomaaviUiaus. A War Relic. Dr. A. P. Taylor recently came into possession of an interesting war relic. It ini a bomb-shell fired during the Civil War which had reposed in a tree near Tallahassee since that time. It brought to the Doctor by a Florida friend, and was opened by Carlton Hun ley at Parker and Hurst's Shop. H< drilled into it, undeterred by fear of an explosion and found the powder in good condition. A Royal Recaption Promlead. From Tbs Montlrsllo News We learn that the Presbyterian, Bap tist and Methodist Sunday Schools of Thomasville will unite with the Sun day Schools of Monticello in a picnic here on May fltli. This will no doubt be again occasion and we know that oar visitors will be accorded a royal reception. Fire la Rome- Romes Ga., April 81.—The depart* msnt store of Henry Lanham was burned early today. Loss, store tftOOfc Hon. S. Q. McLendon. In another column appears the an nouncement of one of Thomas county’s most noted citizens, Hon. S. Q. McLen don, as a candidate for the legislature. He is a man whoso reputation is more than state-wide, a lawyer of ability, a legislator of experience, and a man of energy and talent. Tho list of gentle men who havo urged him to run shows that Ills candidacy will have strong sup port. If he is elected, he will take a leading stand in the house as be tits the representative of a leading county in Georgin. Mr. McLendon’s statement that he is opposed to a dispensary or the sale of Uqnor in auy form iu the county sets at rest certain rumors to the contra ry that have been afloat. IN AUGUST. Wedding of Mr. Chas. Wolff to Miss Henrietta Marx. No wedding auuouucement in Thom asville could arouse more interest than that of Mr. Chas. Wolff. Rumors have been rife for some days cancerning the proposed happy event and a confirma tion of these rumors will bo a source of gratification to Mr. Wolff’s many friends. The wedding will take place some time in August at the home of the bride in Huntington, Ind. Miss Henrietta Marx had never visited Thomasville till this season, but she met a great many people and made numberless friends during her short stay in tlie sonth. She is a young lady of great personal beauty and possessed of unus ual charm. Mr. Chas. Wolff the senior member of the dry goods house of C. & S. M. Wolff enjoys one of the largest ac quaintances in all Thomasville and those who know him best like him best. In business circles he is one of the most prominent men in the city. C. R. Jenkins of Pelham, was a Sat urday visitor to town. Political Kinfolks. I The people of Thomasville were more than a little interested in Wednesday’s primary because it decided the fate of the kinfolks of a number of them. Judge WilliamH.Fish who was re-elected to the supreme bench without opposition is a nephew of Judge Augustin H. Hansell. J. A. Peacock who was defeated by 200 votes for sheriff of Laurens county, is a brother of Dr. J. W. Peacock. T. H. Parker who won the race for ordinary in Colquitt county, over seven opponents, is a son of D. H. Parker of Boston and a relative of the Parkers of Thomasville. K. T. Cochran, candidate for ordina ry of Mitchell, is a brother of Messrs. H. E. and L. Cochran of this city. He made a good fight but lost. Frank U Garrard, of Columbus, can didate for solicitor general of the Chat talioochee circuit, is a brother-in-law cf Mr. John L Tumor. It will requre the official count to decide whether or not he was elected over his four opponents. Another brother-in-law of Mr. Tomer’s, Mr. Davis, was an unsuccessful candi date tor treasurer of Bibb county. Mr. Ed. McReo of Kiuderlou, who had his ambition gratified to succeed himself as one of the legislators from Lowndes, is kin to the Chisholm, Rob inson, MacIntyre and other families in Thomasvillo. There are doubtless other candidates successful and unsuccessful who are united by ties of law or blood to home folks. CLUB SUBSCRIPTIONS.
