Burned on tho night of the 15th nstant. There is not a vacant bus iness house in town, and as the town authorities prohibit the erec iting ,ol any buildings unless of brick, business bouses go up slow ly. There is a strong probabiity that the boom will strike us with renewed force. Monticello ought to be one of the most thriving towns in Middle Georgia, and will in the rot distant future, be a place of note We are now looking for a railroad from this place to Griffin, and then there opens up the coal beds of Alabama, and through the net work of the East Tennessee R. R., a direct outlet will be had to any point. Wha^ say you to moving Eatonton over? Our people are orderly and social and will give you a warm welcome We have one of the best school teachers in the State a; d the good partis, he is so in love with our town be can’t break the bonds, lie has had repeated offers to take charge of colleges, but he stays with us, and we at e glad and con tented. If you could see our jail you would know that we have no bad people over here. It belongs to the days of ”Auld Lang Syne,” and it just stands there on its rock founda tion in memory of Jasper’s pioneer days. A man goes in there occasional ly. The i'nst one, a hungry negro that found forty or fifty jars of preserves and gxeen fruits stored away in a storm pit, and as he had a key that fitted the lock he enjoyed .Christmas. You know such tempta tions are too much for a hungry negro especially about Christmas. I supposo you have seen tho call for our road conference. We are bound to have good roads, in our county, and good roads are a sure index of prosperous people. The farmers are beginning their annual business of hauling guano, paying thirty or forty dollars per ton. Why will they do it? Coiton seed meal is but little over twenty dollars per ton, and acid about twelve, tins gives a compound superior to many brands they pay so much for, at about eigh teen or twenty dollars. But why not make it at home? There is a field about five miles of Eatonton that in the memory of men not very old was too poor for any vegetation, but to day is among the best uplands of Putnam. I find men occasionally ■who buy poor land, and by iudustry and economy soon get it to where it will produce a bale of cotton per acre.—Eatonton Messenger. ’M3 1 I I c m POWDER AbsoluteSy Pure.
