Our lust left us at Memphis.
Wo parted with oui Memphis
friends just 113 the sun was sinking
somewhere across the river in Ar
kansas, but before the transfer boat
got our train across the turgid Miss
issippi it was dark. The party had
a long day ot excitment and pleas-'
ure, and it was not long before they
retired thinking of what next day
would bring forth until “nature’s
sweet restorer, balmy sleep,” took
them atkiy to dream land.
We passed through 01 over the
Ozark mountains just about day
break, and shortly alter arrived at
Springfield, Mo. We were received
by the mayor and a large concourse
of citizens, and a brass band, The
breakfast, by the way—and I say it
with alt due respect to the merits cl
tiie many excellent hotels where the
Georgians stopped on their trip to
and from Kansas City—was tho
best meal we ate on our trip.,.
After breakfast the mayor of
Springfield welcome us in a stirring
speech and the brass band played

There are two Kansas cities. O ne
on one side of the Missouri River iu
the State of Missouri, the other on
the other side of the river iu the
State of Kansas. In the latter city
the largo packing houses are located.
These two cities are connected by
an extensive bridge across the river
like New York and Brooklyn. To
reach this city wo travel led over
the Kansas City, Ft. Scoit & Mem
phis Road, which carried us through
tho rich prairie lands of Arkansas'!
Missouri and Kansas. This road is
the Western connection with the
Central of Georgia and their recent
conneciion at Birmingham, enables,
them to make the trip from
to Now ^ork two days sooner
than before. Along tins hue ot road
ls ( j 0U i J j ie^ssotne of tho finest farm
j
ing lands in the United Btates-rich
beyond description, We thought and level al
most os a table. ua we
looked over these vast fields of
grain, and saw the cuttle in abun
dance grazing on the rich pastures’
that if Georgia had such land, with
its climate. water, timber o.ud other
advantages, it would truly be the
garden spot of tae world.
The Editors spent tho afternoon
in sight-seeing and tho evening at
the rooms of the Commercial Ciub.
President Irwin welcomed them to
Kansas City ir. a cordial speech, and
was followed by M ay or Davenport
The president of the association,
Capt. T. M, Peeples of Lawrenceville
and I’ev. J W B Burke of Macon
responded in behalf of the visitors
The evening was spent very enjoy
ably It was arranged that a com
mittee of the club should accompany
the Georgians the next evening to
Armour's packing house and the
Kansas City stock yards According
ly after breakfast the party look
carriages and were driven to ibe
celebrated packing house!. To tell

establishment kills, dresses, and

The gentleman who showei the
visitors through the Armour
establishment stated that everything
about the hog was utilized except

making bacon and its kindred
meats.
Leaving the hog and beef factory, wo
went to theKansaas City stock yards
It is really an exchauge whore stock
is bought and sold.
Our outward trip ended at Kan
sas City and on Saturday evening
we turned oui faces southward.
Our train made a quick ran to St.
Louis, where we arrived on Su nday
morning, for early breakfast.
After breakfast several editors at
tended religious services at some of
tho churches in St. Louis, while
othors rode about the city and loun
ged around the hotel. At 11 o’clock
tho entire party visited Mr. Henry
Shaw’s wonderful botanical garden
and parks—the most attractive
places of tho kind in the United
States. The- garden contains 30
acres, and every tree that grows and
every variety of shrub or flower to
be found, beneath the sun can be
seen in this enclosure. Elegant
hot houses, neat cottages, lovely
drives and a magnificent and luxuri
antly furnished residence can be
seen in this park* also, a §10,000
vault in which Mr. Shaw will sleep
when ho shuffles off this mortal coil.
Near oy is a large box containing a
bust of M r. Shaw, which 13 to be
placed over his resting place when
lie has passed away. “The o’d man”
is 89 years old, is a bachelor, born
in England, lived in St Louis 70
year, has given millions to benevol
ent purposes, donated tho garden
and a 300 aero park to the city
has always been a ladies’ man,' was
a hardware merchant, is worth
twenty-five million .dollars and is
jovial, hale and hospitable. “Yon
ougM^J.bc a happy man, Mr.Shaw,’’
dtfltf 'te am. at times, but not
always, anu it lY’ocs’Cin my opinion,
that no man can have perfect and
perpetual happiness on earth, for
life would become tiresome and
nicnotinous had we no tribulations
while journeying here below," said
he. with a far away look in his* eyes.
Perhaps he is correct.
In the afternoon many places 0 !
interest were visited. Other parks
and gardens wore inspeceted, while
at night many attended church.
Early Monday morning we loft for
Nashville by special train with
right of track over t he Louisville &
Nashville rail road, and passed
1 hough a portion of Missouri, Illi
nois, Indiana, Kentucky and Tunic
see.
The di-dance from St Lou*3 to
Nashville is 320 miles and our
special train rolled into U 10 latter
city at Go'clock p in We lost about
two hours on the road, thus making
the actual running time a little over
eight hours. We received a very
cordial welcome from tho member of
the Press of Nashville and of the
Commercial Club to remain over,
but wo had made arrangements to be
in Chattanooga the next day (Tues
day), and the programme could not
well be changed. A number of tho
visitors spent a pleasant evening at
the club and had the honor of meet
ing a number of the prominent citi
zens of Nashville. The city is
apparent ! y very prosperous and its
people fully alive*to the advantages
it offers to those who are seeking
homes in the south. We parted
with our new made friends with the
regret that our acquaintance had
been so brief.
Concluded next weak.

LET mi FROM an OLD
FARMER.
Mr Editor :—Tell every Farmers
Alliance to spread themselves in the
production of home fertilizers tor
the next season, and commence at
once, and take the advice of an old
farmer who has a long experience m
preparing stable manure. The only
true way is to cover the litter from
the stock with good soil, about
twite a week—straw and leaves, a
failure. Nothing will excel the soil—
is* tiie best absorbent.
Col. Jemison told me that I 119 fath
er had tried this plan for 15 or 20
years and had been very suceeseOil.
It should not be removed from one
Reason to an other unless packed
down tight. If you wish to compost,
do this as spoil as the manure is
ground flue, then plant it deep. To
it lie in a heap to undergo the
heat, whoa, removed and planted it
loses too much ol its virtue It
should always undergo fermentation
in the beds, the plants will not lire
when putm deep and will give better
results. To fully develop this new
plan, get most offensive Bubstanee
and cover with soil and you will see
at once the offensive smell will be
gene.
If you will try this plan you will
each year get back the value of all
food given to your stock, counting
the price of commercial manure.
Try it with all other substitutes you
can g< t on your faun, and letguauo
alone. We have suffered greatly by
the use* of guano This now plan is
worth millions of dollars to the
farmers and livery stable e-tablish
liicnts, with lets labor than even
hauling guano frun market. 1
explain this idea m the following
x«aKL - , .....
IiuTC the stalls nil inadb high,
When offensive the soil apply,
Plant fertilizers before decayed,
A batter plan has not Leon made.
