TO INDUCE IMMIGRATION. The meeting of southern gov mors at Richmond having come nd gone, we are just where we ere before, with no prospect of immediate state action in the liattcr of inducing immigration. I’hat any sucli steps will soon be la ken is highly improbable, judg¬ ing from the absence as to any ac lion it in regard to a Georgia exhib¬ at the World's Fair. This, in itself, would have been kfirstclass advertisement of our ■sources arid would have brought Lnnnr to spy out our land and Satisfy themselves as to our fine •liunite,our agricultural and min¬ ora] resource;;, the enormous pos¬ sibilities of the fruit, wine and truck-farm industries, with our proximity to the northern mark¬ ets and those of Europe, now that direct trade is being established. , We mr look , onlv , to . . must , . now on entt'rpripe ihe.tide . of vatt; to turn immigration to our section, and the “Georgia Land Company,” the new company just organizing, promises to “till tho purposes as the best California land companies. It will buy up lands in Georgia, at present im under cotton, ve the present encumbered debt, and encourage them to and cultivate fruit and i ‘truck produces on part of their places, securing their homesteads. The land that at present supports but one family and their labor will, under the new system. »up port from thirty to forty families The company will sell on easy terms, plant and build for the new settlers, if desired, and in each block of their lands start a settlement or town wi’h schools, churches canning factories, stores, workshops and all the equipments of civilization. This is only wha; family brings from $1,000 and up ward into the state, it will mean a great addition to the money in circulation, as each one thousand families will represent a million dollars of money. What Georgia requires is a complete change in her farming system, the substitution of fruits, wines and truck produce for “all cotton.” This alone would in¬ crease her available capital ten¬ fold; but an equally imperative demand is more settlers. The pop¬ ulation is not one-fifteenth what the state can support. If the population were even doubled we would hear no more of hard times, idle manufactories and railway depression. The Georgia Land 'Development Company will, if properly supported, do a great for Georgia, It. w.i!], be or ♦v. expense to the state and realize a handsome return for the investors as a reward for their labers. The easy system of payments adopted (on longtime) is sure to attract others, as after the first payment (one quarter down) the immi¬ grant can probaly meet all futher payments from the products of his orchard and truck farm. All this and the wonderful resources and great advantages of Georgia over other states is fully set out in the company’s pamphlets, which will be extensively destributed in the north and Europe. Northern men are alreydy com¬ ing in, of their own accord, and planting orchards. The move¬ ment is begun and the company, by making a determined offort now, when all the conditions are favorable and the World’s Fair attracting the whole world, is bound to make a success, doing a good work for the Empire State and securing for themselves a rich reward. They will act on the principle that you must advertise thoroughly and drum for business, if you do not wish to get left.

Fviday afternoon shortly 1 o’clock, J. 0. sheriff of Crawford Co., back the scaffold lever the door from beneath Nath and sent his soul before the Judge to have a last aud final dis¬ pensation made of it. A large concourse of darkies and several whites from various parte of the country, numbering near four thousand, assembled to witness the execution. It was performed in the valley between Roberta and Knoxville. The hang¬ ing was a complete success and Mr. Culverhouse is due credit for his skillful management of the affair. He was assisted bv Mr. John Haines, who built the scaf¬ fold. DrB. J. W. Mitchell, Kin¬ ney, Jones and Smith were pres¬ ent and announced him dead in eleven minutes after the fall.

Some physicians <.x treating summer dren complaint in operation youn^r chil¬ resort to the of washing out the stomach. Par¬ ents generally protest against it, fearing that the little ones are likely to be injured thereby.

Doubtless there are many cases where this operation promises bet¬ ter than any other, or the use of medicines. In. no case can it dc. injury. It is usually done this in- way: A soft rubber tube is used,, on one end of which there is a glass tube five or six inches long.
