It is very gratifying to us to ob¬
serve the competition amongst our
farmers for the best exhibition of
crops. The TniKs-Joi RNAobas re
reived some line specimens lately
of agricultural products worthy of
a y county in the South. We do
not propose to show any partiality
in our notices of farm specialties.
()ur columns are open to any far¬
mer in lho county who will supply
us with information regarding his
crops, or any item of interest rel
alive to his farm. Those we have
mentioned, so far, have been far¬
mers who have visited cur office
ami given us the points mention¬
ed. We would be glad if all would
do SO.
We see from our exchanges that
many of the enumerators are not
doing their duty. Many cities are
protesting vigorusly at the omis¬
sions which are made in the enu¬
meration. The proof is shown by
furnishing the names of and ad
dresses of many persons who have
not been visited. Negligence on
the part of an enumerator is sim

The excursion train that was t<

left for Hawkinsville at about live
delock and was to return at 8:150.
When she roiled up there was ;
large crowd to get aboard ant
when all were seated it was es¬
timated that there was about 40S
s mis, all happy and ready for tin
trij) which was about twenty milte
from Empire.
A i 9 o’clock all reported ready
the bell on one of the five line lo

sounded, the whistle blew, and

general manager, at the throttle

l lie crowd we were on our journey
Our route was through one of tin
anest timbered districts to be found
mywhere in Georgia, and while ;
good deal lias already been cut,
dill there was a great deal that
even the axe of the turpentine
man had never touched. Truly this
is a great country. Our train \va
made up of -I or 5 Hat cars (with
seats well arranged) a cab and en¬
gine, and as Col. M. T. Hodge, de¬
clared in liis speech, a Pullman
Palace Sleeping car would not
have rode better, so smooth was
the road i e 1. with such good heavy
steel. If we say that the trip was
immensely enjoyed by everyone
oil board wo but half express it.
We arrived at Dexter about ten
o'clock whore we found a brand
new several town dwellings, with three etc or and four stores large | j
, a
crowd who came out from the:
church (which is about a half mile I
south of the little city) to meet
the train, and with their vehicles
convey them to the church. In a
short while all was landed on the
grounds around nit. Carme!church,
which is a real neat structure,
rated on a nice elevation surround
ded by stately oaks and one of the
prettiest pine forests we ever
held.
On our arrival the Sunday school
had just been called to order by
Supt.. Mr. W. A. Witherington,
an 1 after songs and prayer. Rev.
J. T. Rodgers, of Reedy Springs,
made a very interesting address.
He was followed by Air. J. H.
Witherington, of Dexter, who
addressed the school oil the sub
ject of Sunday schools, explaining
many points which had a tendency J
to do much good. The Ilawkins
ville brass band, which was a very
interesting feature of the occasion
discoursed sweet music, at enter
vals, which was much enjoyed by
the immense crowd.

At the conclusion of Mr. Witli
eringtail's address the Sundav
school . ,, headed ^ -ii by the , i band i , marched i
to the tables at 2 o’clock where
just such a dinner had been pre

After dinner Mr. Ii. .1. Sapp,
introduced Mr. J. Bis

missioner, who made one of the
most interesting speeches we have
listened to in a long time. His
main theme seemed to be to impres
upon the people the importance
of educating their children, to
send them to school more in order
to get the benefit of the public
school fund, which was not for
certain classes, , hut , lor all, and , ail ,
should derive some benefit there
from. Deis also in favor ot the

Eastman. June 'J'J. 1890.
Editor Times-Journal : I would
be pleased to say a few words in
praise of the notable improvements
in your valuable paper, but as I
see that you are receiving so many
complimentary letters, I deem it
unnecessary, for 1 suppose com
pliments must be stale to ‘ vou.
, wil , say that V0l!1 . arli ele hea d
efb u Tlie Colored Teachers Meet,”
aroused much sympathy with the
colored people, i suppose, as 1
heard fully a dozen, on yesterday
GHuiking in commendation of the
Tn , K ,..j ot - RSAIj therefor.
Judging from what I heard in
the G. S. T. A., cn J yesterday, I
think there is si m probability
R ,ere v ill, ere long, be an
meat ot some new colored sub
to the Tuiks-Journal.
Also myself, 1 appreciate the
Journal. Firstly, because it keeps
me in rememberance of the name
of T !0 coan A officers. 8ec

last, but not least, because the
present editor does not make it

obnoxious , abuse . and 1 heap it upon
ihe heads of every poor individual
who happened to the honor or
