Perhaps an extract from the model
constitution will better explain tli

county, State of Georgia, desir-
ing to form un association to pro
mote the industrial aud higher edu
cation of young women, and to dis
seminate knowledge in regard to the
nature and purposes of the Normal
und Industrial College, do hereby
organize ourselves into an association
for the furtherance of these objects,
1st, To unite in lending a helping
hand to struggling womanhood, and
to encourage ami assist tier ill ob
taining remunerative employment.
2d. To promote benevolence i>y es
tablishing a loan fund by annual
dues, private subscription, and other
wise to assist in defraying the ex

higher education taught in the Nor

ments of said college.”
By this constitution a person is
rendered eligible to membership in
the association by the payment of
one dollar uniiituliy, and ten dot litre
makes a life member.
The plan commends itself at once
to those desirous to become the ben
efactors of their less fortunate sis
ters.
I am confident there arc- many
large-hearted, benevolent men and
women in our county who would
gladly contribute these amounts,
'thereby rendering uneducated, hut
deserving girls, self-sustaining ami

lives brighter and happier by

Albany, Ga., March 10th, 1802.
The Gazette would be glad to
gee a loan association organized in
Berrien county, because she is, ns
yet, unrepresented at the Normal
and Industrial school.
There ure ii niim'icr of most wor
thy young ladies in the county who,
having adopted school touching us a
vocation, would he proud of an op
portunity to better prepare them
selves for their work, which they can
never hope to do without assistance.
The money thus secured and ex
pended would he of vaat good to the
educational interests of Berrien
county by raising the (.landaid of
the public school curriculum in the
communities where they may be em
ployed to teach, and the beneficiaries
would be enabled to do more and
better work for the children they
leach, correct and efficient teaching
which will be felt for good on down
into future generations.
Berrien county, the Gazette is
informed, is entitled to two lienefl-
entries. Can't sufficient money he
raise:! by the foregoing plan to send
some of our worthy young ladies to
fill both vacancies? It is hoped some
of the good ladies of the county
will take hold of the matter and see
what can be done. Don't wait one
for another!
The Gazette is ready to do its
full duty in the nutter.

It is an old adage, “improvo in

already half cultivated; this is es

While it doeB not materially or essen

ed to yield a bountiful harvest, yet it
is the one crop, if neglected, show
most distinctly the want of proi>er
cure and management. It is a crop
that absolutely requires prompt and
ceaseless attention.
'The land should be worked as
nearly us possible to the fineness of a
garden, by frequent plowing and
harrowing. All stumps, roots, turfs,
stones and clods bIioiiIiI he removed,
thus preventing after trouble in eti

be done by the 15th of March, and

A most- inqiortant meeting of

noon.
Capt S. It. Weston was selected

Thirty-six prominent lumbermen
were present.
The object of the meeting was ex

short address, to be (or tho purpose
of organizing wUh^tue view of self-
proteotion. IIoyHowcd where lum

At.’) o’clock the afternoon session
waa culled to order and the following
plan of organization was submitted
hy tlie committee:
That a stock company he formed
composed of the saw mill men of the
Btate, each mill subscribing at tli
rate of |icr thousand on their to
tal output periuiniim, (he total sub
scription to be the capital of the
company.
The company to he chartered and
have the power, among other things,
to con tract-with other mills for their
output on commission.
That the company lie controlled
hy it board of twelve or more direc
tors who shall meet monthly and
fix prices at which lumber shall be
sold.
Thi* plan to be submitted through
u committee to all the mill men in
the state, and thateafsh be invited
to subscribe as above provided, and
that each group of saw mill men on
each railroad, shall meet within three
weeks from this date and elect ail
executive committee to meet in Ma
con ou the 4th of April and formu
late the plan atiove outlined and pro
cure a charter for the company.
A discussion arose relativo to local
rates of freights. It was shown that,
tho lumber men of the state were
payiug s higher rate of freight at
present than was paid previous to the
establishment of a railroad commis
sion in Georgia, which is claimed is
unjust us lumber is at least 50 per
cent lower to-day than it was fifteen
years ago.
Tiie discussion of the question of
free tariff on lumber led to the adop
tion of a resolution declaring that no
politics whatever should come in con-
tuct with the organization.
At 6 o'clock the meeting adjourned,
after iiassing a resolution of thanks
the Macon Board of Trade for
the hse of their rooms and thanks to
saw mill men of the Brunswick and
Western railroad for their earnest
endeavor in trying to effect some
kind of an organization to atlvunce
the price of yellow pine lumber.

The most remarkable running
ever made in Georgia, or probably in
the south, was accomplished on the
Brunswick und Western railroad last
Friday by engine No. 17, Engineer
William Mahoney, pulling Superin
tendent G, W. Haines’ special couch,
with Conductor Welch in charge.
The run was made from Albany
to Brunswick, 171 miles, in 210 min
utes, including four stoppages, equal
ing a mile a minute for the full run.
The run from Wuycross to the Satil-
la river nridge, thirty miles, where
slowing up was necessary, was mode
in thirty minutes. Between Alupuha
and I’earson stations the running
was at the rate of lily-five and fifty-
eight seconds per mile.
Tlie cuse of this remarkable run
was a telegram received by Superin
tendent Haines in transit announcing
that President Felton of the East
Tennessee would like to meet him on
business at 2 o’clock in Brunswick.

editorial Carelessness.
The Wuycross Headlight credits
the Gazette with the following
item:
“Rev. W. II. Scruggs, pastor of the
Wuycross Baptist church, delivered
very interesting sermon at tlie
Methodist church in this place on
.Monday night last. He was here to
confer with the brethren as to the
advisability of organizing a Baptist
church at this place; tint on account
of sickness was called home before
anything definite was done.”
Here is a piece of editorial care-
leazneea, almost inexcusable, which
does Tifton a great injustice. It was
clipped from the Willacoocbee paper
and credited as noted above.
Now, Bro. Freeman, for your in
formation we will state thut Rev.
Scruggs did not preach here at the
time indicated, or ut any oilier time
within otir knowledge; a Baptist
church has been organized at Tifton
for several years; there is fast being
completed ut Tifton a Baptist church
building which, for dimensions and
beauty of architecture, would be
creditable to a much larger city than
Tifton or—even Wuycross.
However, the people would be
pleased to hear Air. Scruggs preach
ut any time lie cau make it conven
ient to do so.
Katlroait to Nashville.
A correspondent of the Brunswick
Times, writing from Leliatou and
of tiie splendid milling enterprise of
.Messrs. Gray A Gatcheli at that
place, says:
“The tramway of this firm lias re
cently been extended into Berrien
county, crossing Alupahu river over
a substantial bridge. This brings it
within nine miles of Nashville, tha
county sent of Berrien, and it may
be extended to that point. In that
event, regular passenger trains would
be put on, running between Nash
ville uud Leliaton, and connecting
with trains on the Brunswick and
Western. This would be of the
greatest convenience to the publto,
as Nashville is, at present, several
miles from any railroad. It would
cost the enterprising mill men $30,-
000, hut thov calculate that the
ft-eight and travel would pay a hand
some interest, and the extension
would put them in reach of enough
timber to last them a life time- They
already have a twenty-year*’ supply.
The tramway now in operation is
provided with twelve good cars and
three iocomatives, two of which com
pare favorably with those used on
railroads.”
