Mr. J. M. Britt, of Macon, a
Crawford "county man, is out on a
visit to his old friends. Hisfriends
are all glad to see him. We were
glad to meet him as he is genial
and gentlemanly.
Ed Newton, who was reported
to have been a participan in the
killing of Dow Walker, was ar¬
rested and brought here last Sun¬
day. Wednesday he was given a
trial and released. There being
no proof of his guilt. Nath fSmith
the negro now held for murde r ,
endeavored to implicate Newton,
but his evidedee was all contra¬
dictory. Since Newton’s release,
Smith, so we are informed, made
a full confession of his crime to
Sheriff Culverhouse Thursday
night. In which he said that him¬
self and Owen Howe did the kill¬
ing and intended to get Dow
Walker’s money.
It is very probably now that the
eyes of the Macon Telegraph
which paper has made so many
foolish and preposterous conject¬
ures about Smith’s innocence, are
open. If newspaper reporters
would wait to obtain facts about
matters before publication, news¬
paper men Would not have to bear
the reputation of public liars.
Gill Thom a*
Was in Knoxville Thursday
night and gave one of his musical
entertainments. He played on six
different instruments with con¬
siderable dexterity. Annie Laurie
was beautifully rendered and we
thought sweeter than all else.
There is nothing free about Mr.
Thomas’ entertainments’if you al¬
low a few of Roberta’s young men
to decide. Mr. Thomas gave a
little intermission in his exercises
during which he offered a silver
dip for the most popular lady in
the community, and charged ten
cents a vote. This took to some
young mens pockets like a prairie
lire does to a dry straw patch and
■'destroyed them about as iast.
Their pockets are very light uo w
and smuth too.' It will be quite a

pear. Mr. Thomas must have re
ceived id the neighborhood of a
hundred dollars. But the boys
don’t care, they were ‘‘on it.” Mr.
Cook is tall enough and intends to
be plainly visible. Hurrah for
him. Miss Mattie Miller and Miss
Willie Dupriest, two favotite and
beautiful brunetts of Roberta, re¬
ceived the prizes. Miss Mattie
first and Miss Willie second. The
prizes were two handsome silver
cups. These young ladies are
both possessed of the feminine
modesty which adds a charm to
even a homely young lady and
then too, they have the notive
grace and evenness of temper
which attracts and holds admir¬
ers.

Editor Correspondent.—You
will be surprised to know how few
people in your county know what
valuable lands and property it
has within its border. Its lands
far exceed that of any other
county in this state as peach pro¬
ducing lands. The lower part of
the county, known as the seventh
district, has an area of several
miles east of Flint River that nev¬
er knows what a failure is in the
peach crop. The specially favor¬
ed section of the county is Lee
Pope and its surrounding county.
Mr. E. S. Lee was offered last
Saturday $2500 for thirty five ac
res of land wuth 3500 Elberta
peach trees just carrying their
first crop. He refused by saying
he would not take $3000 spot cash.
The quanity of peaches now on
those trees is just enormous. That
little orchard has almost created
a peach panic together with the
100 acre orchard of Mr, Lewis Lee
of which the A. & F. II. R. com¬
mands such a beautiful view. As
the cars pass through this beauti¬
ful block of peach trees the pas¬
sengers rush tc the windows to
get a view of it, all wishing the
train could stop long enough for
them to get out on the platforms
and take longer and better views.
The engineers all join in saying
it is the most beautiful cenery
they have ever drove an engine
through. When the peaches, ap¬
ples, plums, grapes, pears, straw¬
berries and all other kinds of fruit
are ripe the engineers conductors
and all the R. R. crew will poke
their heads out of the windows
and are made mad by the'' exces¬
sive watering of their 1 mouths. A
very prominent North Carolina
tobacco grower hascomeand gone
into the melon business and from
the pluck and energy that he is
displaying he is going to make a
success of meloifc and cantelopes.
He is planting extensively. Lee
Pope will bloom ere long with
bright new houses, a good depot
and several large Iruit packing
houses.
Lumber shipping is going on
extensively at Lee Pope under the
management of the plucky Mr.
W. S. Dasher. Several hundred
thousand feet per day are hustled
of by him. He is a hummer.
Last and not least, I will wager
a line horse and buggy that no lit¬
tle town in the south can boast of
more intellectual, accomplished,
beautiful and fine looking young
ladies than can Lee Pope. They
will run from four to the thous¬
and.
s\mie of the most successful
farmers of that section who have
laughed and discouraged the fruit
business are now gentle and are
putting out fruit trees by the
thousand. z.
