My DeaF Sip. :
Thinking you are interested
in the moral, intellectual and ma¬
terial progress of Crawford Coun¬
ty, I have taken the liberty of ad¬
dressing you this letter, and ear¬
nestly hope you will give it your
careful, respectful and thought¬
ful consideration.
Our county is, as yet, in her in¬
cipience. it was but a short while
ago we had no rail road facilities,
but now wi lx its coming, we- see
evidence of prosperity that other¬
wise never would have broken
into the sweet day dreams of the
plowman as he obliviously ploded
his weary way upon the hill side
or in the dale secluded and re¬
mote from civilization, inspiring
and progressive touch. Instead
of going to Houston, Bibb or any
other adjoining county for rail¬
road facilities to ship our pro¬
ducts to market, we now enjoy
that great advantage ourselves as
afforded by the Atlanta Florida
Railroad. Our farm interest has
unqestionably grown into much
larger dimensions. Our farmer 1 *
are gradually awakening to the
possibilities which spread out be¬
fore them and invite them to ar*
duous, assidious and zealo”s ef
forts of the soil. We see young
peach orchards, ni x cries aVid
groves; the grape is now receiv
ing considerable attention ; the
old staple crop of corn, cotton
and potatoes is being tended with
more care and attention; the
famous old melon too is entitled
to favorable mention. Our coun¬
ty will ship many car loads of
that delicious read meat, the pres¬
ent season. Our farmers are
realizing that mother Earth re¬
sponds promptly and bountifully
to the intelligent mind and dili
gent hand ; the saw mill’s song of
progress is heard as it merrily
marches through the forest and
convertsthe crude timber into
comfortable homes for men.
Schools and churches are being
located in nearly every section,
and their twin brother, defender
and colaborer is in the field with
them, and it has come in the
name of “The Correspondent.”
They are the three factors indis¬
pensable to good law, order and
society. Either one of these omit¬
ted and the other two of necessity
fails to accomplish their greatest
good. Watch the course of a
community in which these are, or
even of a nation, and see how?
out of chaos, disorder and confus¬
ion, what wonderful works their
hands have wrought and what
beautiful and heneficient forms
of government their- ingenious
fingers have moulded. Can you
then fail to realise 1 heir impoit
ance or refuse them your appreci¬
ation.
The press in this county has so
far been a signal failure. Until
that is a success, the county will
stand in the back ground. With
out a paper, to make known our
advantages the county may as
well shed what few sickly green
eives it has, sink into itself
die, ar.d like dead oaks, go to
growing mois. Who would
think of a county seat as
being an intelligent, industrious,
moral and thrifty people, who
could not o.r would not support
one paper ? Nobody in the wide,
wide world.
The county papers heretofore
nave tailed because, white they
might have had editors, they have
never had men of newspaper ex¬
perience behind them. The pap
ers have been distributed over tlie
county without any subscription
b.ving paid in. Common sense
temiches everybody that a m*
paper can’t be Riven utvay long

U P 5 Gie news from tins place,
Having been . very busy for the
i,st month I did not have
to write.
Our community was visited on
June 13 by one of the heaviest
hail storms that has ever been
known by the oldest citizens of
this district It. was followed by
a heavy ram completely ruining
the crops in some sections. The
corn IS completely stripped to
pieces. The cotton crop is almost
destro, ed and nothing but the
stalk is left standing to show for
itself, inis gives but little en
couragt-ment for any further cul
limit,ion, The hail hilled a mun
her ot chickens for those that
wore in the track of the storm,
The track of the hai- was about
four miles wide and we have not
heard definitely how far it
ed north and south of here, but it
seems that Musella was about in
the center of it. The stones of the
hail was about the size of a guinea
egg, doing considerable damage
to the fruit trees and vineyards,
Some of most prominent, farmers
say that their crops are hardly
worth cultivating, while others
say they will probably get a
crop N ri one can realize the
condition of the crops until they
visit the track of this storm.- Mr.
0. B. Sullivan, one of our most
prominent farmers, who was
farming with Mr. Mark Sanders,
