At 3:30 p. m. the .party of nursery
men, with a number of invited
guests of the railroad, went on board
a special train tendered by the
Brunswick and Western railroad for
an excursion to Albany and interme

with whioh all were regaled.
Albany was reached at (1.T5 p. m.
Here the excursionists were met by

railroad fruit farm, placed before
them a large basket, of peaches, rich,
ripe and red, and a gorgeous hank of
flowers consisting of dahlias, roses,
tuberoses and magnolia blossoms in
and most acceptable gift to the nur
serymen and one which they appre

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

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.
The Nashville cornet band kindly
went over to Adel and furnished
sweet music for the occasion. In be
half of the citizens of Adel the Ga
zette tenders the clever m -tubers of
the cornet band special thanks.

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
