The next stop was made at the magnificent farm of the Tift broth ers, two miles north of Tifton, and a short time was spent in looking at the orchards, vineyards and the gen eral crops; of corn, cotton, tobacco, melons, tfffi' Members of the party grew exceedingly enthusiastic over what they saw at this farm. They assured its that the Tilt vineyard contained the best and most elegant fruitage of any vineyard they saw on their ‘ v — — tiuer cf hm said they couldn’t grow here.

The first stop was made at Magnolia, two miles oo3t. of Sumner, where the excursionists spent a few minutes peering into the curious intricacies of a spirit tur pentine distillery. The next- stop was made at Smnner to take onboard Editor Allen, of the Local, with his treat of pouches and watermelons, and to permit an approaching train to pass. Forty-five minutes were spent looking over the Moselle and Piney Pai k vineyards and orchards. Piney Park is tho home of Dr. J. F. Wil son, who was the chaperone of the party after leaving Macon. Mrs. Wilson and a number of ladies of Poulan met the party. They had very thoughtfully prepared an abun dance of delicious ice cold lemonade, with whioh all were regaled. Albany was reached at (1.T5 p. m. Here the excursionists were met by committee from the city council and tendered a drive about the city. It was gratefully accepted and the forty-live minutes stay in the city was thus made very pleasant. The Broad street artesian welt was visit ed and all took a sip of the celebrat ed artes)«n water. return trip to Tifton was need at 7:00 o’clock and only fie or two stops were made to let off persons who had joined the e.v.-ur ionists between the two points. Luncheon wus served at Tilton ind at 9 o’clock tho train left for Brunswick with the majority of the nurserymen who wanted to see the city by the sea” and visit St, Si moil’s.

A large number of the party that went to Brunswick returned to Tif ton Sunday night add spent Monday morning taking a more thorough look at the city ‘and vicinity. They took the noon train on the Georgia Southern and Florida for their re spective homes by wav of Atlanta, bearing an abundance of luscious frnit* -md beautiful flowers which they had gathered in and around Tiflon. At .Cyclone!* Prof. B.

Bnt they couldn’t carry them home, so when they reached Atlanta Messrs. N. P. Pearsall, C. S. Curtice, Alex Pullen and C. C. Fraser were appointed a committee to present the lovely floral souvenir lo the Constitution with their compliments. The Gazette does not. hesitate to say that the nurserymen were pleased with their trip to Tifton and vicini ty, as well as the genuine southern hospitality received at the hands of the people. “] just want to toll yon,” said Col. Pearsall to tho Constitution with genuine western enthusiasm, “that 1 never saw such a country for fruits and flowers as is that around Tifton. The Tift brothers and .T. F. Wilson are to be congratulated on their suc cessful manipulation of their fruit farms. We found 1,000 acre's in one farm, 550 in cultivation, 200 in fruits, 170 ill watermelons, fifteen in straw berries, ten in cabbages, thirty live in general garden track, twenty in grapes of the choicest varieties, about one-third of which were Ni agara’s of the finest kind.

Dr. Iiobins, the third party apostle from Greene county, skipped his Worth county appointment, last, week and went lo Adel, in this (llor- icn) county on Wednesday. There he was met by linn. Ben E. llusSell, tho suypry-tongut'd democratic champion, of Bain'oritlge, and from reports wc have of the meeting, met a Waterloo defeat. Dr. Robins spoke first, for an hour, having been introduced by Col. John A. Wilkes, who credited him with being the first disciple of the third party who had ventured to speak at Adel, Wo learn that his speech was a very tame affair, that his allusion's to the democratic party were exceedingly temperate and lie said nothing nl which the most fas tidious democrat could take offense. lion. W. L. Kennon introduced Mr. Mussel I in a neat speech. That gentleman arose amid great applause and, for an hour, held tho audience entranced with his eloquence mid argument.. Bussell talked sound democracy and carried the audience with him in sympathetic determina tion to down the flag of third party- ism and up with the banner of de mocracy. Dr. Robins occupied a few min utes in response, but he soon discov ered how the crowd stood and quit off abruptly. Tho audience wanted to hear from Hon. H. B. Peoples and they called on him in tones ho could not resist. Ue responded arid made one of his char acteristic speeches, and they say he made the “fur fly” when he reached that part of his speech which he de voted to the (hirtrrn Mlf-aftixiiiiCad. Altogether the speeches were mod erate and the p; - pie were entertained ns well as enlightened upoll the po litical issues of the day.

Published reports of a third party meeting lust. .Saturday al. Uoroorvillo, Clinch county, say that only fifteen of these heretics signed the roll of membership. W. II. Snead, the “wiregrass orator” of Berrien county, was at the meeting and made one of his unparallelled speeches. He la bored long and bard to enlighten his hearers on tho beauties of this new fangled j>olit ioal idea, but his earnest words fell, in a great measure, on un willing ears. The third parly is not “in it” in the good old county of Clinch. Worth county politicians held a mass meeting last Monday with Hon W. A. Harris in the chair. It was thought to be a democratic meeting but. it declined lo endorse the demo cratic platforms, either stale or na tional, and Hie public is left to guess at its complexion. II is safe to say there was not. a little spleen-venting indulged in as, notwithstanding a former mass meeting adopted a reso lution providing for a congressional primary on July flOlii,delegates were chosen lo that convention by Ibis meeting and were instructed for Stevens.
