In passing around the other morn¬
ing wc dropped into the office of Mar¬
tin & Peacock} and propounded the
usual question—“H<J# Is business ?”
The response was—“Not so good as
we would like it to bd, but when cir¬
cumstances are considered, we do not
know that we have much room to
complain.”
In a short conversation with Mr.
Martin, who Is boss of the mill and
mercantile business, while his part
nor, Mr. «T, C: Peacock, attends to the
fanning interest near town, wd were
surprised to barn that they had dis¬
posed of two car loads bf cdi'u, being
about 1,300 bushels, besides a large
quantity* bought from the country', and
also the tole out of a good run of cus¬
tom, within the last forty or fifty days.
They ground most of the corn into
meal and sold it to our merchants and
neighboring turpentine and saw-mill
firm*, and the grade of meal they turn
out is equal to any and superior to
many. Those who do not know that
there are two more corn and meal
dealers iu our town, and that Messrs.
Martin & Peacock have been engaged
in the wholesaleingof corn and meal
hut a very short time, may think the
above not worth mentioning. The in¬
crease by grinding and otherwise
will raise thd Union nt to about 1,000
bushels
This firm also docs a most successful
mercantile business, and when the
question is asked, “Who sells goods the
cheapest?” the almost universal res
ponsc is, “Martin & Peacock.”
In reply t<5 our interrogation—“What
about thc ginning business?” Mr. M.
6 aid that they had just purchased an
80 saw gin, of the best make, with
feeder and condenser attached, which
is to take the place of thc 40 saw run
last season. The GO saw will remain
iu position, and be run in connection
with the 80 saw gin. This firm will
make it to the interest of farmers to
patronize them.
Mr. Robert McKinnon is thc polite
salesman of this firm, and also has the
mill department in charge, He is a
quiet, steady young mail, and has fine
business qualities.
Crawford Fullwood has charge of
the engine and machinery, and under
his supervision things are bound to
run smoothly.

Aniorig the many small enterprises
of the new South we mention the Sand
Fear industry. We say “small” enter¬
prises, but, In fact, it is assuming pro¬
portions which will in a very short
time be rated a.s next to the orange
culture of Florida.
The history of this busiiidss, though
tinged lid re and tlldrtj Very perceptibly
with accounts that sound somewhat
traditional, maybe worth mentioning;
It went the rounds at one time that
the American Minister to China sdiit
or brought front that country one of
more rootlets or cuttiligS; which, dne
of them at least, fell into tile hands of
a Mr. Lc Conte, of Liberty county, Gai,
w ho planted it, and from this tred,
which was standingbutrecently, other
cuttings were obtained, and the stock
for rooting became plentiful.
Fortunately for the sake of truth, we
met, a few days ago* Mr. Hubert; df
Thomasville, Ga., tiic centre, wc may
say, of the sand pear territory at pres¬
ent;
Mr. Hubert hits it good honest face;
and is a grower himself. He kindly
consented td tell iis much about the
tree, its fruit, its propagation, and es¬
pecially the true version of its origin.
Here it is:
“Major Le Conte, a gentleman of
Philadelphia, moved to Fernaudihd*
Fla., for his health. He went into
business there; owned a place and
adorned it more or less with native
fruits. lie returned to Philadelphia
annually <0 buy goods for his store.—
Upon one occasion a friend there in¬
sisted on his taking home for planting
a small pear tree, of wltiblt he could
give no account, but said, Try it and see
what it makes.’ Major Lc Conte’ ob¬
jected, hut his friend persisted, and
wrapping the root in some wet paper
put it into Major Le COntc^s trUilK.
“The Major had a sister, Mrs. Har¬
din, who lived in Liberty county, Ga.,
and in going or retufiiiilg he usually
made her a visit. As all good sisters
do, Mrs. Ilardin went into her broth¬
er’s trunk to see what was there,- Pud
of course found the bundle.
“‘What is this?’ says she.
“lie replied—T don’t know what it
is, but you may have it.’
“So she took it and planted it, and
it'grew, flourished and bore loads of
fruit, and the cuttings were much
sought for; and thus the wtfrid got
that most vigorous and thrifty of all
pear tree, and thc bearer of an abund¬
ant and most excellent fruit.
“All this time there was a little boy
growing up in Laurens county, Ga.,
who Was destined to let the world
hear and know much more of this tree
and its fruit than ever was dreamed
by Major Lc Ctfnte or his sister.- But
for him (Mr. Henry Sand ford, now of
Thomasville, Ga.,) it might have con¬
tinued for all time, perhaps, a settle¬
ment production only. He has intro¬
duced it all over thc Union to or
orehard-men and tree fanciers; and
, has illustrated in the most convincing
| **♦>’!« 1‘leasmv that it profit may by be making grown either fortune for
or a
! filing the trees aud fruit.
how rr DOES ix dodge county.
It is now about eight years since life
first tree was planted in this county.
Ample time, therefore, has been given
to n.ake up a report upon its adapta
tion to our soil and climate. Thc sue
cess has been complete. Tlic tree grows
here rapidly; begins to bear at four
years old, and increases at a rapid rate
,,ntil seven or eight years old; fth
less the tree has been severely pruned,
it will require a support for nearly
every limb. This was required the
last year after heavy windshad blown
off a heavy crop of nearly ripe fruit,
This is not required (propping) how
ever, where the tree is properly pruned,
“It is a thing of beauty,” in blooming
time, which occurs here in February
—the whole graceful tree being a mass
of w hite and pleasantly odorous flow -
ers.
With land at $4 to $0 per acre, con¬
venient to the railroad, nothing tffi’efsr
a better and more speedy return for
investment. Each such acre of land
planted in sand pear trees, three years
old, is worth two«hundred dollars. In
five years thereafter, the yearly crop
tvill bring half that much money per
acre.
It is best to give thirty feet each
wdr In setting ortf, chi account of the
immense size tlie tree attains under
favorable conditions—having been
known to measure 44 feet through the
branches.
An eleven years old tree has been
known to yield thirty-five bushels of
fruit in one season.
It has never 6s yet shown “blight”—
tlic great enemy of all other varieties.
The young trees should be planted
in the fall, and although it will pay to
give them a good chance* we can truth¬
fully say that there is nothing so valu¬
able that will thrive so much with
carelessness and neglect/ It should be
severely cut back for scveral years, in
the orchard ; when grown, partly for
ornamentation, it may be trained to
grow less bunchy/ It then looks some¬
what like a Lombardy poplar, only far
surpassing it iii its brilliant green and
glossy foliage.
Lastly, it is grown successfully front
the .cutting; with care one may get
fifty per cent, to root. Good year-old
trees may be had from the nursery¬
men of Thomas rtrtmty at from $10 to
$12 per hundred; two-year old trees
are worth more. The tree grows so
rapidly, though* that we would always
prefer the one-year-old tree at the re¬
duced price. It is always hard to con-
vincc beginners Of the importance of
pruning these oven properly; it seems
to thOiil such a waste of tree.
Any ohe who may wish to see an
orchard two years after setting the
trees, may enjoy this pleasure at the
farm of the Amoskeag Lumber Com¬
pany, near Edstrilan. When fruiting
season is at hand, call oil Mr. llcury
Newman, or the Writer. The friiit
averages ili market $2.50 to $3.00 per
bushel. Coining off early, (1st of Au¬
gust here) the fruit pickings have
brought $13 per bushel in New York;
In Oitr immediate community they
have never sold yet for less than 5 cts.

season’s business has hot been so very
large it has been a satisfactory one to
its owners, owing to the excellent
management of Mr; John Winter.

Baxley, Ga.,* April 10—At an elec¬
tion hold here the following’town of¬
ficers were elected for ensuing year:
For mayor, J. S. Patterson ; tor coun¬
cil, W. C. Parker, .John Corfuis* T*
Dean, II. B. Royal and B. H. Patter*
son. Several efforts have been made
toward having town regulations, but
in each case a failure would result
from not electing thc right kind of
men to serve. The present board is
composed of progressive men, and, it
is thought, will prove a success this
time. The town has grown to such
proportions for the last few months
that local regulations have become
necessary. At the present rate of in¬
crease, Baxley will soon be tlie lead¬
ing city of south-east Georgia.
At a district Sunday sehool conven¬
tion held here yesterday Rev. Mr.
Williams, of IlazlchtrrsL was elected
president of the association ; Professor
W. S. Branham vice-president; Miss
Nellie liopps secretary; T. A. Parker
treasurer. Professor Branham was
elected as delegate to the state con¬
vention, to be held in Amcricus in
May.
Astonishing Success;
It is the duty off every person who
has used Boschce’s German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends fit curing Consump¬
tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three dos¬
es will relieve any iasc, and Wc ton-:

commend it to thc poor, dying Con¬
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
80,000 dozen battles were sold last

was reported. Such a medicine as

Graham, Ga., April 12,1887;
. Dear Journal :—It is some tlirid

line from Graham, one of the quiet
and unostentatious little villages Oil

I was almost ri&lonished to hear of
the amount of business which is
transacted here at Grnhttni; First thd
merchants, which and thefo arb several
do an annual bitSiitcss of ten
thousand dollars. I was informed by
• lie polite and accomodating agenf,*
Mr. Sam Sellers', that there were 10,
000 barrels of roSiu; worth $2.00 per
barrel* shipped from Graham, and be¬
tween four and five thousand barrels
of spirits, worth amounted $15 pet* barrel, and
the receipts to general
merchandise, $l600, hay and grain $125,000.
sales tickets and the freight
charges going tb tho road amounted
to$12000, so that Graham is away
ahead of more pretentious stations,*
and yet (lie railroad authorities havd
ro far failed to rebuild the warehouse!
destroyed by fire several months ago.
Mr. Pollers is doing this large busi¬
ness undcl* adverse circumstances, and
heeds a warehouse more .tintif auy
thfng else. The cost would be insig¬
nificant compared to tho advantages
thus afforded to agent and shipper.
Besides this large amount ,of rail¬
road business proper, the express
business is also handled and managed
by the fill road authorities, and yet
they have delayed this all the important
matter. It is not only people of
Graham, hut tlic business and travel¬
ing public are interested in havihg
ample and suitable accommodation
for freight, passengers and baggage;
The naval stores industry is repre¬
sented In Graham by Mr. A. Scsm ms/
an experienced and energetic busiuo*
man.
Among the merchants may bp men¬
tioned McS'rs. Dan Johnson, Forrest
Hall, A. C. Darling and Dan McEach
in.
The medical fraternity is well rep¬
resented by I)r. I\ II. Hall, a success¬
ful praciitidncr, and Dr. Scab Johnson*
a young man of promise.
Among the old and well known
citizens are Hon. Seaborn Hall, than
whom no man is more respected for
his many fine qualities of head and
heart. May ho live long to enjoy tho
gratitude and esteem of his friend^.
His son, John F. Hall, sr., is also well
and favorably known.
'Hie large turpentine business of
John F. Hall & Bro. has its business
headquarters here, and tfioy arc high?
ly spoken of as successful manipula¬
tors of the crude stuff.
Mr. John Graham’s portly form
may he seen, and his genial humor
is perennial.
The now Methodist church is a
thing of beauty, and will be a joy for¬
ever.
