Not having received my last week’s paper I am somewhat at a loss what to write, for fear of reporting something previously written by some of your other correspondents; besides, I have been out but little this week, consequently my letter will be short and incomplete, but will try to get up more news next week. Extensive preparations aro in pro¬ gress to start tip tho new mill on Wed¬ nesday next, hut I cannot say with any degreo of certainty that it will etart then, as I liavo seen a great many new mills start and liavo yet to see tho first one ready to go by the time appointed. Some 011 c inquired of Mr. Jefferson (the old man) when lie would have the mill ready to start to sawing, and having had the same problem propounded until it has be¬ come an intolerable boro, ho replied that “with good luck thoy might bo able to make some lumber when they got up steam.” I guess this satisfied the young man, as he did not make any furthur inquiries. As regards tho squabblo between youi correspondents, “Anonymous” and “Here and There,” I would like to say that it strikes me as extremely absurd to get up such a muss about •o small an affair. I do not suppose that Mr. Martin or Messrs. Jefferson A Son arc taking much stock in the matter, or giro the writers many thanks for giving their names such circulation. My idea I 9 that there was nothing in the first letter written liy “Anonymous” that the most sensi¬ tive sould should take offense at. It ho mado a mistake it was simply such an one as caused no mischief whatever, and I think the reading public is be¬ coming sick of the whole matter, and would rather see the space thus used 3n a private quarrel devoted to gener¬ al news.

Surtax, ■iCttei* from Spring Hill. SrRiNo Htll, Ga., Sep*. 6. Rev. II. C. Brewton is conducting a protracted meeting here. The people turn out well, but so far they have not warmed up much. The sermon last night was preached to back-sliders, and.from the conduct of tlie people one would suppose that there was not one m the house,-but the preacher seemed to think that there were several. Mr. J. Clayton Clements, we regret to say, is sick, and not able to-afttend church. This is regretted by tite all. He is the leading member in the church here, and his good influences arc now much needed at this time. I* is a common regret that Capt. J. E. Grady is away from here this year He is a very useful man in the church, and his good influences are felt 011 all religious occasions, where he is pres¬ ent. Elder J. D. Anthony is expected to preach to-night, but we learn that lie will leave to-morrow to attend to the duties of ids church elsewhere; Prof. Hines is asssiting Mr. Ilrcw ton in the meetings. We notice a disposition to sore throat among the children of this neighbor¬ hood, and fears are entertained that diphtheria may prevail this fall. Mr. George Redmond and Mrs. Herring arc visiting relatives hero. Capt. J. E. Grady spent Thursday night in our town. The frame of the church building is •up, and the lumber and shingles for it have reached Towns. A great many of the shingles,it is said,arc of a sappy kind, which is very much ?egret!cd. As soon as the lumber and shingles are hauled in, Bill Jackson, the colored carpenter, will resume work again on the church. Mr. George H. Wilcox and wife, of Crisp, are visiting friends in this sec¬ tion. Tho weather is very dry, and cane and field peas aro being injured by if. Turnip patches cannot bo sown, and if the dry spell continues vegetables for winter use will be scarec. Mrs. Nancy Bailey, of Wavcross, is expected to arrive to-day, attending tho protracted meeting here. Dr. W.M. Ryals, 'Charlie Clements and Misses Ida and Sada Phillips, of Lumber City, attended church onjlast Sunday. J. C. 11* GEORGIA’S RESOURCES. In Georgia the products of the farm are unusually varied. They mav be subdivided under two great heads— money crops and provision crops. Of tho money crops, cotton take9 the lead, far surpassing all the others com¬ bined. There are also rice, sugar and syrnp; tobacco and truck products for tho markets; vegetables, fruits and melons raised for sale. Forest products and naval stores oc¬ cupy also a considerable place among tire industries of the State. More varied are the provision crops for homo use, or strictly home market. They include all tho cereals, the legu¬ minous crops, peas, beans, etc.; the root crops, all sorts of vegetables and fruits r ' indeed, they embrace almost everything for food of man and beast which is not tropical. sSrts So the facilities arc excellent for all of live stock, horses, mules and cattle, for dairy pro¬ ducts, etc. Food for stock can be made to cover the whole year by a judicious selection. Our comparatively shor winter renders the expense of winter¬ ing stock small, and with barley or oat patches, little work is necessary in gathering food. RAILROADS. There are now over 3*000 miles of railroad in Georgia, forming af* com¬ plete net-work, well distributed »9 to locality ami sections, and reaching 100 out of the 137 counties of the State. The Central 11. It. Compauy, owns, leases or operates about forty percent, of the whole railroad 9ystctn, If equal¬ ly distributed there would be over 20 miles of railroad to a eounty,(couu ties iu Georgia being small; one mile to 550 people, one mile ot road to 21 square miles of area. There are few localities in which- a wagon cannot go ami return in a day from a railroad station. The lines of road would suffice to cross the State east and west about fourteen times, or north and south about nine times. The capital invested probably ex¬ ceeds $70,000,000, the gross income $10,000,000, and the net income is be¬ tween $2,000,000 and $2,500,000. GEORGIA —A STATE FOR HOME COMFORT, No State is more admirably adapt cti to home comfort. Many advant ages arc common to other Southern States—others peculiar to Georgia.— What is needful to home comfort?— Whatever it is, Georgia has it. Land abundant and cheap, a climate unex celled tor health, comfort and produe tion; with two seasons, giving both summer and wlitter crops—an excel lent year round climate, with moder ate summers, moderate winters, dc lightful spring seasons, and Indian summers indescribably fine. Building material is cheap, and a good house is easily reared. The far incr is the most independent of mcn r with no rent to pay, no fuel to buy, With supplies of food, easily had. with soil and climate adapted to grain crops, 1 ’ garden, _ orchard , , and , dairy , . prod ta nets, and equally so to poultry. Cows may be fed through the winter on hurley or oat patclies. 1 Tho garden, the orchard, the cow and the hen! What a share, of hu mail comfort they contribute l With fruits and vegetables, milk a ml butter, chickens and eggs, what a start we have towards supplying 11 * b not only J an ample but a luxurious table. These facilities exist, moreover not in a mere pioneer country, but accompanied by the advantages of an already estab lislied civilization; the land cleared and ready for cultivation, wiHf rail roadw, schools, churches and melt* «>1> portunitics already provided. Erroneous opinions exist as to safety at the South- The sense of security, essential to . comfort, ...... obtains . in a re .narkable degree. Nowhere does a larger proportion ot the population sleep without iocks on their doors, tearless of violence or theft. Her peo pie, as a rule, are honest, hospitable and friendly to strangers. In addition to the mere supply ot food, it is easy to have choice fruits, vegetables, grapes, melons,-etc., cover¬ ing a large part of the whole year. In addition to provisions, there is the best of all money crops, cotton. In¬ deed, if one will but make home com¬ fort and abundance a prime object, 110 country is better suited to them. A farm in Georgia, as an invest¬ ment, is unsurpassed in its return®, especially to a poor man or a man of moderate means. A few humlrds or a few thousands invested here, may, with good management, make a home ot comfort, health, abundance, and security. Here, as elsewhere, good management is necessary; but no¬ where docs it pay belter. Germans and other foreigners remark on the advantage of winter aa well as sum¬ mer crops, and of laud not ice-bound in winter. We have had frequent occasion to refer to Georgia as a variety State. It is not suited alone to agriculture. Manufacturing investments also have especial advantages. In cotton man¬ ufacturers this is eminently true. Not to dwell on them, it is sufficient here to say that the cotton and the mills arc together—saving freight one way. For many cotton goods there is a home market—thus saving freight both ways. Tho climate h remarkably suited to the work both in winter and summer. The cost of living is low* and so the wages of labor diminished. In a word, it seems to be tho place of all others adapted by nature to cotton manufactures. Many other undevel¬ oped facilities for manufacturing exist. MECHANICS. There is a wide opening ami demand for good skilled mechanics, itt various branches of industry. The supply of skilled labor is inadequate, owing iu part to the superior all radio us of farm life. With the growing use of im¬ proved machinery, and the in'iicduc lion ot engines, reapers and mowers, separators, etc., there is a growing demand for workmen capable of keep- 1 . „ them . ..... distributed , netter ing in repair, throughout the country, as well as in the eities. Take tire advantages altogether and the lime is not far distant when the advice will be, “yOUIlg RfrflT gO South.” We do not hesitate to say, as the re¬ suit ot observation and experience, that the best immigration for us is from the North and West, and not from abroad. Northern immigrants are soonest assimilated/ Their chil dren and our.» arc indistinguishable, The best means, moreover, of harmon izing the sections is by the mutual acquaintance to which immigration gives rise. Sectional antipathies are based on mutual ignorance, and rap idly disappear before mutual fcuowl edge. To bring this outline view of the Stale to a close, we quote from the Hand-book of Georgia as to f lie ad vantages it presents; ‘•Nature has been prodigal in her gifts to us; ’ and man needs oulv aver skill , ... and to make , here age care as happy homes as the wornl has ever known. The ground, with its wide range ' n of imxluctions, ’ the sun and air and conditions . . of climate, Hie abuml ant wood and water,and water-power the present settled state ot the try and degree of development, and the future promise of a higher (level opmcnl—all .v point to the South as ad mirably suited for . immigration and : to no part of the South more than to Georgia.'’ Iler relative claims indeed, arc un disputed, and her positive claims need only to be investigated to be apparent. - I.eel«l..<ive >«!(,.«. , Notice is hereby given that a As-! bill , '««*»<** In th«Ge..era| sembly ot (treorgia, at its present ses Mon, of which the following will He | (he caption, to-wit: ‘W bill to be cn- 1 titled an act to provide a special road 1 a .'} r ^°. r the county <>f I >o«lge ; to pro vide lor the collect ion Ot t he proper 1 ! funds, and the disbursement of the sa me, and for the select ion ol the prop- 1 er road officers for said county, and for other purposes.” INGRAM HOUSE, COCHRAN, GA. has My house thoroughly is now on«*n overhauled to the public. through¬ It been out.
