They Cainr, They haw and Aro Convinc'd This Nrt’tl.in (Irvwi I'rache* i reported that » protracted ; was commenced at Bethesda church, near Brooxfleld, t conducted by Revs. J. J. i and J. A. Adam/. They or to secure Iter Culpep er them. i county pears ore at- a this year, and are Muj. W. L. G leaner, jjnmigratiun agent of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, induced some tweti- y or thirty Ohio people lo come to Georgia the first of the week on a tour of inspection of the peach grow mg section of the southern empire state.. They first went to Fort Val ley, Marshallvillti and Tivola; then, by the dint of importunity, lie suc ceeded in getting twelve of the party to visit Tiftou and Cycloueta and see what is being done in the way of peach and grape culture at these pluces. The names of the twelve gentlemen are: T. G. Witlioft, N. Olimer and \V. S. 1). Bates, from Dayton; Win Gnyser, D. Rees*’. Kirch and M. D. Miller, from Toledo; J. II. Dver, S. A. Webb, W. T. Cojie, I. B. Cam eron and If. C. Black, from Colum bus. They cume in by the regular 3:15 p. in. train, were conducted to Hotel Sadie and after relieving themselves of the dust of travel were taken in buggies and driven to the four-year old vineyard of Messrs H. H. &. W. 0. Tift, and the entire party were captivated by the ricii foliage that lay ont before them. They were in vited to alight und walk through, see und sample the fruit; notwithstand ing several tons of grapes hud been sent to market from this vineyard there was stii 1 a heavy crop on the vines, and when the Ohioans behold thejarge, rich clusters, they simply became ecstatic. Mr. Win. Guyser, of Toledo, was the most euthuslastio of the party, aud seemed not to hesi tate to express his sentiments. He affirmed that the grape growers of Kelly’s Island and of other points on the shores of Lake Erie ore “not in it” when it came to growing grapes for market; he declared that the Tifton grapes far surpassed the Ohio grape m sixe and juiciness, equaled them in flavor and could be sent to market at least sixty days earlier than the Ohio and Michigan grapes. The entire patty expressed themselves greatly delighted with the vineyard and gave assent to the sentiments ex pressed by Mr. Guyser, agreeing that the points made by hiut in favor of the Tiftou grapes were well taken and fully sustained by the evidence before them. , The presence of a dark and an ominous rein-olmidin thMWrtli and RjftWS? 7'?- lifoi • ’ > ■' northwest forbid a longer stay at tho vineyard, so the party resumed seats in the buggies and were hastily driv en toward the city, by the way of the W. 0. Tift farm, where a start has been mode in peach culture, and where a short halt was mode and tho party convinced, by seeing and samp ling the fruit, that peaches as well us grapes could be successfully grown in this section. The threatening cloud admonished them time they should hastily seek shelter; again, the party resumed seats in the bug gies and were hurried to the city and hotel os rapidly us fleet horses could transport them; still they were over taken by the storm uud barely es caped a thorough wetting. The visitors were treated to eight dozen peaches (exactly a bushel) of the Chinese cling-stono variety, from the orchard of W. II. Horne near Tifton, which they pronounced as fine fruit as could be grown any where in the world. Monday night was pleasantly spent at Sadie Hotel. The visitors ex pressed themselves as “tired and sleepy too,” and therefore retired for the night gt an early hour. Tuesday morning the Tifton and Northeastern railroad took the party to the pretty little farm of Mr. E. II. Tift, where they inspected his or chard and vineyard. They were de lighted with both, especially the two-year old Elberta orchard, lodened with the Inscions fruit. Cupt, Witli- oft, who Imd hitherto entertained some doubts as to the adaptability of this soil for {teaches, here broke down-hia doubts were dissipated and be confessed that it was as good if not better thun that in the vicinity of Fort Valley, Marshallvillo, Tivola, etc. Mr. Tift furnished baskets to the visitors mid told them to help themselves to the peaches; several of them accepted the invitation und brought away u quantity of, to use their own expression, “as flue fruit us can be grown anywhere in the world.” J nst here we desire to say, for the special benefit of tho Macon Telgrnph reporter, it was from the E. II. Tift orchard, near Tifton, that the Olii- ana secured the beautiful specimens of fruit they were taking home with them us a memento of their trip, und which he so kindly credited to Fort Valley mud Tivola. The party returned to Tifton where a Georgia Southern und Flori da locomotive and cur awaited them to carry them to the Tift A Snow Co. fruit farm, started a little more than a year ago, which impressed them very favorably. They were more than astonished ut the vigorous growth the trees had made. The H. H. & W. 0. Tift vineyard wss again visited and the gentleman ly proprietors invited them to get baskets ami help themselves to the gru{tea. The invitation was accepted uud several baskets of elegant fruit were borne away to friends in Ohio. The s]tecial train then curried them to the Cycloneta experimental stork und fiuit farm. Here the visi tors spent several hours, looking about the farm and viewing the stock. The exceeding warm weather, and the generat fatigued condition of the visitors, prevented the thorough ex amination into the condition and success of the farm as wus desired, but Cupt. D. G. Irby, the affable man ager of the farm, showed them enougli to convince them that the ■oil uud climate are cminetly adapted to the successful growth of peaohes, grapes, indeed every variety of fruits and vegetables. Manager Irby kind ly invited the entire party to dine with him, and of course the invita tion was accepted. After dinner one of the party, we think Ool. Black, remarked, “it wus the best dinner he had eaten since leaving home—not withstanding his host was a bachelor. Manager Irby also placed at tho dis posal of the visitors several baskets of peaches and grapes, which they also took along—with the idea of carrying them home for the delecta tion of their friends. This frnit with what they gathered at Tiftor.. whs all thujr had to carry beck with them to Ohio, the Telegraph’s report er to the contrary notwithstanding. With a single exception, Mr. Reese, ttie party took the 1:00 p. m. train homeward bound, expressing an em phatic wIbIi for an opportunity to “get even” .with the good oitlsens of Tifton and Cycloneta who had so royally entertained them. One of the features of the occa sion was a display of grapes and peaohes at the resilience of Cupt, II. H. Tift, which all agreed wus “a thing of beauty" if not “a joy for ever.” GARNERED BY THE PENCIL AND SCISSORS PROCESS.

In the southeast oornor of tho county of Berrien lives our good old uncle and well known “Squire Pat ten.” Uncle Billy and Aunt Betsy raised quite a large family. Among them were three fair daughters; Kotvona, Matilda and Mary Jnne. Uowcnn und Mary Jane having mar lied, left Matilda, who of course was the idol of her mother. She not only was a favorite of the family, but a choice girt with nil tlie relatives and friends. She possessed such line morals,graceful notions and feminine deportment, that strangers and friends wore alike charmed with Iter impie ami concise manners. As for integrity and benevolence she had few equals. If a party of young folks was gotten up, it seemed to lie lacking without her. In fact, no society in our midst appeared com plete without tier handsome presence, and notwithstanding the allurements which she carried, and a realization of the same, she never was known to loose tier temper, to lienome haughty, sarcastic, or, i» any way' deviate the principles which make up a true lady. While her ways were peculiarly winning mid gamed the attractions aud calls of many young gentlemen, she seemed wisely to re- ristnll propositions the import of which might be tending toward mat rimony, notwithstanding it was her chief delight to please others and make others happy. She was a vir gin in the purest sense, with unspot ted integrity, and honor unimpuached; nothing groveling, meanly low or seltish came near her head or heart But, alas! The dreadful disease of Typhoid came with strong arms and arrested poor Tilda, and in a few days sentenced her for life. The young and skillful Dr. Patten was summoned and began administering medicine to ntlny the fatal malady Hut she grew worse and worse, until thepersistent young Doctor exhausted all his medical skill; he forsook home and wife and gave Ids nevertiring attention. Poor Tilda sufTered about twenty-eight days; bore her pains with the most Christian fortitude, and at 3 o'clock on the morning of July 3rd innt., she was wafted away, as we believe, to eternal bliss, for her deportment through life was so Christ like that it would lie, almost, denying the Bible to doubt her acceptance with God. Her remains was placed iu a nice casket and taken to tho family graveyard at “Old Union Church” where tlie bereaved mother and family were met by qnito a con oourso of relatives and friends who joined them in mourning the loss of their favorite and only girl. Dear readers, life is short; and tho above servos as an example that death Is sura. So let us all go to work aud prepare for that dreadful hour, and to meet our loved ones and friends in “The Beautiful Hereafter,” whore parting is no moro. “It* sad to put from ora m lor*.

TEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST. The salary for Postmaster at Val dosta lias been increased from $1,000 to $1,700 [ter annum. A little son of W. C. Hay, of Sumner, was seriously but not fatal ly scalded a few days since. The uew Methodist church just completed at Dixie, Brooks county, has been dedicated with elaborate ceremonies. The Valdosta Times speaks of it as “the artesian hole-in-the-ground” —the well bored there some time ago. That’s noli!

Kv erybody cordially invited to attend. Messrs. M; A. McRuiney and H. W.

Everbody invited to attend.—NVorlh County laicul. Irwin is one of the finest funning counties in Georgia, aud we venture tlie assertion without the fear of successful contradiction that there are more independent farmers in Ir win than any county iu tlie state. The reason why? Because Irwin county furmers raise tiieir own “hog and hominy.” The Moultrie Banner's excursion to and picnic ut Round Lake on the Fourth of July was not the success it should have been. The editor of the Banner and tlie management the Boston un.l Albany railroad did ull in their power to make it a grand occasion, but the people didn't, seem to be with them. Hon. Elbert Fletcher, of Irwin county, says crop* in Ilia seel ion arc better IIiIb year than any since can recollect, and he is ilfty-one years of age. “If there is a poor crop,” says lie, “you may know that tho Great Creator has not been as sisfed by man in making it.” God hu surely done His part thoroughly. The employees of hs Quitman Lumber Company, also those of the Boston und Albany railroad, went off on a strike la-causa they had not been paid their wages. Receiver Leverette, of the railroad, went down lust week and paid its employ, eet and things are srreue again that quarter. The mill hands are still on a strike, but Receiver Mallette hu gone to New York to see money o&u be raised to relieve tho pressure and keep the mill goiug. trnth. yon have the grandest country on earth. Just think of it; yon can get almost any kind of frnit from Southwest Georgia fnlly two weeks earlier than from any other point, and not only this, bat the qnnlity and flavor is as good u can be bud. By all means encourage yonr people in the cultivation of - fruits if you would increase the. prosperity of yonr grand and favored section. GEORGIA—Rrvai km County. To all whom It tna? concern: W. H.
