Give Gaskins & Paulk a call before purchasing your supplies. You will be supprised at the low prices they will quote you. 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.

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.

The editor spent an afternoon at the above place this week and was greatly surprised at the amount of business being done there. There are two general merchandise stores— John Churchweil & Son, and I. S. & IL I* Bowen—both doing a satisfac tory trade. The ginnery of Sanders Gibbs is still running on full time, preparing the fleecy staple for inur- ket. lion.

Tho Local says Micro are twelve prisoners now in tlie Worth county jail for offenses ranging from murder down lo petty larceny, and only one of these cases would cornu under (lie jurisdiction of a comity court. Is this cumulative evidence against tlie establishing of Wortli county court, Tifton Lends. 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.
