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.

Tho Let’onlp or Maid Pear Tree. 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. a pear. Harris Fisher.

In closd proximity IS 1 lid lion. flourishing saw-mill eiiterprisb Of Lein John son* which looms up’ lit .fine proportions as you approach it. Bill it is of Graham l wish to speak. 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.

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.
