Til’ton’s Institution.
No. 3.
The third institution we present to
the people of Tifton for their sup
port and encouragement is the Ga
zette, and what we shall say is
hedged about with some degree of
trepidation.
The paper will soon be three years
old, and while the proprietor has no
special cause to complain at the pa
tronage received—he has earned n
living from the enterprise—the pa
per has not grown any as was devout
ly desired; indeed fears have been en
tertained at times that a retrograde
growth -would take place.
With a more liberal and prompt-
paving patronage we could give Tift-
on a larger and much better paper
every way—one thgt would more
justly represent the dash and thrift
of our vigorous young city—ami wo
appeal to the citizens of the city amt
vicinity to rally to our support this
year and help us to enlargo tho paper
•\t lest by the beginning of the fall
season. We ask no contributions,
only legitimate and proper patronagi
We would like for ever family to
lake the paper and pay for it prompt
ly once a year. We would be pleased
if the merchant would giyo us a lib
eral advertising patron age, and es
pecially lo give us their job printing
--in the ex'-eution in which we guar
antee satisfaction.
By helping us you help yourselves.
The better you help us to make the
paper, the greater credit it will reflect
upon the city and her thrifty people.
The Gazette flutters itself that it
has beet, of soine'scryice in- adding
population tnd wealth to this section
uud do not consider il begging to in
sist upon a vigorous, growing sup
port in return.
There lias been no time in the his
tory of the city when its future pros
perity called more loudly for a live,
progressive newspaper to represent
her abroad t han now, and that is just
what the Gazette will be with prop
er support.
Help ns and wo will help you.
Our failure would be your loss.
ABOUT THE COUNTY.
Items Which Escaped the Attention of
Our Special Reporters.
The Gazkttk is gratified to learn
that 107 pupils have matriculated
at the Adel Institute.
Prof. R. D. Woodard is teaching n
class in vocal music at the Pine Hill
Academy, throe miles cast of Adel.
The Gazette congratulates Col.
and Mrs. Joliu A. Wilkes, of Adel
upon the arrival of a bright little son
at their home. Surely the Colonel’s
cup of joy is full.
The commissioners appointed to
appraise the estate of the late Dr. I.
Goodman, of Sparks,have perform
ed that duty. The real and personal
property of the estate amount to
about $13,000.
Theeditorof the Gazette is placed
under many obligations to Mr. W. A.
McCullough, of Vanceville, for cour
tesies extended him the first of the
week. There is no more kindhearted
gentleman in Berrien county thau he.
The quarterly session of Berrien
county court was in session this week.
We learn that there was a full dock
et, both civil and crimnal, and much
of it was disposed of promptly and
in a manner to reflect credit upon
the new presiding officer, Judge Lus-
tinger.
The friends of Hon. II. 11. Knight,
of Ray’s mill, aro urging his claims
for the State senate from the district
comprising the counties of Berrien,
Lowndes and Echols. The Gazette
will be entirely satisfied if he is nom
inated and elected, though it does
not inveigh ugninst the claims of nny
other of the many eliciblo democratic
gentlemen in Berrien county who
nmy offer for the pluce.
Now, Hint spring is opening, it is
hoped all the Sunday-schools of Ber
rien county that went into winter
quurters last fall will now bud forth
ugiiiin with renewed zeal in behalf of
the Master’s cause and the best wel
fare of the children of’ the county.
The barriers tnut have hindered the
Sunday-school work in the county
aro fast being broken down, as the
sunlight of God’s eternal truth flash
es in upon the minds of the people
who have hitherto opposed it. It
now behoove.: the friends of Christ and
the children to bestir thcmselyes.
Teachers’ Institute.
The Berrien Couuty Teachers’ In
stitute convened according to previ
ous appointment at Nashville, Ga.,
on the 17th inst, with some thirty or
forty teachers in attendance, and one
could have judged from their coun
tenances that they were ready for a
day’s good work.
The meeting was called to order,
and the constitution and by-laws,
presented by a committee appointed
at a previous meeting for the pur
pose of drafting them, were adopted
without dissent.
The election of permanent officers
was then in'order, and the following
were elected: 11. P. Glenn, Presi
dent; E. J. Williams, Jr., Vice Presi
dent; lv. C. Woodard, Secretary and
Treasurer.
The programme was their taken
up, and the teachers showed that
each appointee hud studied well his
subject and was fully prepared to
handle it. The entire time was ta
ken up in going through with the
programme, and when tho Institute
adjourned at 4:00 o’olock, p. m
ouch teacher went away rejoicing
that he was a member of a body so
earnest in its efforts to hotter tho
cause of education.

Eloquent nixl Convincing
Contrast.
On the third page of this week’s
paper the Gazette publishes two let
ters which originally appeared in the
Jolict(Iil.)Repubhcan. One is writ
ten frain San Jose, southern Califor
nia, ami the other from Tifton,
southern Georgia. These letters draw
a striking contrast between the two
sections in the matters of desirability
for and the cost of making a home;
they also draw a vivid entrust as lo
the number and quality of products
and the cost of production. These
letters were written by disinterested
men who were sent to spy out these
sections of country—the only inter
est they have is to give their friends
correct information rcgnrding them
Rend the letters and see what a grand
victory Tifton and contigions sec
tion has won over San Jose and sur
rounding country.

Tho Local says Micro are twelve

Tifton’s neighbors, Valdosta and
Cordele, are being urged by their re
spective newspapers to emulate her
example in the race for material de
velopment, showing conclusively that
her progress is being watched with
interest by the people of other sec
tions.
The Valdosta Telescope, in an arti
cle urging combined effort on the
part of citizens to scoure immigra
tion to Valdosta and Lowndes coun
ty, makes this reference to Tifton’s
energy and success on that line:
“Tifton is getting excursionists
from the north to visit that section
anti tliey nre developing that part of
tlie country until it blossoms like tho
proverbial rose.”
Writing on the same line the
South Georgia Sentinel, of Cordele,
says:
“Take tlie town of Tifton and sur
rounding country for example. Eve
ry reader of The Sentinel knows that
the lands are no richer and the con
ditions for successful farming no bet
ter there than in Dooly county. Yet
wo seo a wonderful influx of uew cit
izens to that portion of this section,
while here there are comparatively
few new farmers. True, a dozen or
more new farms have been opened up
during the past twelve months, but
tlie fact remains that thousands of
acres of splendid land is lying idle.
The secret of Tiflon’s success lies in
tlie untiring efforts of the people to
i« bring in new citizens. They have
acted in concert, and through Capt.
II. II. Tift have encouraged immi
gration in season amt out of season.
Gup!. Tift and others have induced a
great many excursion parties from
tho west and north to stop in Tifton
and see the lands loaded down with
every Bortof fruit and grain and veg
etables. The lands were sold cheap
to men who wished to farm on them
ami in oilier ways new men were in
duced lo settle there.”
Tlie Gazette does not reprint
these pithy allusions to our city and
pcoplo as a signal for them to relax
their energies to secure desirable im
migrants, hut rather to inspire them
to renewed efforts; it is the only cer
tain road to successfully build up
the city and contiguous couutry
in wealth and substantial prosperity.
Tifton lms gained the attention of
tlie country as u leader in this mat
ter and she cannot now afford to re
lax her efforts—she must keep well
to the front.
