FACTS AND FANCIES.
A Batch of Interesting Items from the
Assistant Editor.

Washington’s birth day was scarce-
I) thought of in Tjfton last Thurs
day.".
Clifford Spires says we have had
a “wet moon”—as it was “full” last
week.
Jupiter Pluvius seems to have been
on double duty ever since tlw year
1804 set in.
It is an indisputable fact that ev
ery man who wears his watch in his
vest pocket is behind the time.
The pupils of Tifton Institute ex
press themselves as being well pleased
with the school and its future pros
pects.
The merchant who says that “ad-
vestising does not pay,” does not ad
vertise. That is how ho happens to
know.
The ineessent rains of the past two
weeks have placed an embargo on
farm and garden work for two weeks
or more.
The wise business man acknowl
edges that a newspaper advertise
ment is the oil that lubricates the
machinery.
Tifton gardeners are guessing
whether or not there will be another
freeze. They are ertful about what
they plant.
New cash subscribers are placed
on our list every day. Indeed, wo
have started upon the new year with
flattering prospects.
Tifton is being well supplied with
eggs now. The supply fluctuates
considerably—sometimes there is
plenty and sometimes there isn't any.
The man who gets mad at wlmt
the newspaper say about him, should
return thanks three times a day for
what the newspapers know about him
and don’t say.
A pretty valentine found its way
to Wrightsville, Ga., all the way from
Tifton. The question is, who the
Harry sent ft? Don’t all our young
sters speak at once 1
The farmers have plenty of time
in.w to haul their guano home from
the stations, but it is death to stock to
draw much of a load over the boggy
and badly washed roads.
Whitewash your barns and fences,
clean up your yards aiul begin to
plant some flowers. Spring will soon
be here. Don’t let it catch you nap
ping. Poets, whet your pencils and
stick your pens deep iri ink and be
come inspired when the first flower
blooms.—Kx.
Capt. J. A. McDuffie, formerly
with tlto Brunswick an l Western, is
now the General Manager of the
t.'arabelle, Tallahassee ami Georgia
railroad. The road is now complet
ed to Tallahassee and Capt. McDuffie
lias given it out as his motto, “On to
Thomasville,” and then it will lie “On
to Tifton." Thus Tifton’s railroad
prospects grow brighter ov6ry day
The GazuTtic has two scholarships
for sale-one in' the Georgia llusi
i less College at Macon ami the other
in Stanly’s Business College at Tliotn-
asville. They are both superior
schools of their character; and young
men contemplating taking a business
course would do well to consult us
relative to these two scholarships.—
stenography and type-writing arc
taught at both schools.
Tifton is proverbial for treating
hangers kindly. Every man or wo

to the community is met with kind

been often abused, stilj our pcple
Planet Notes for March.
Metriiry during March will be pass
ing between the earth and the sun.
for the fll st two or three days the
planet will be visible in the evening
just after sunset. In order to see it
otie must look toward the west, just
a little above the horizon. After the
14th it will bo morning planet.
Venus will lie morning star and
rapidly come out frojfi the rays of
the sun. She will increase rapidly in
brilliancy so that none can mistake,
her greatest brilliancy being attained
on the 22d. She will be in conjunct
ion with the waning noon on the 4th.
Mars rises about 4 o’clock in the
morning, and is at such a southern
declination that there will bo little

and again on the 30th.

Uranus is in the constellation Libra
southeast of Saturn, and may be ob
served after midnight. lie will bo in
conjunction witli the moon on the
24th.
Neptune will lie in good position
for observation during the early even
ing. The position of this planet in
Taurus is unchanged from last month.
The asteriod Jurat is in the constel

the loop in its apparent path, and aft
er the middle of the month will be

On the Right Track.
It speaks well for the farmers of
the state that they have not only
ceased, in a great measure, to draw
oil the west for home supplies, but,
through the medium of the enterpris
es they aio fostering,* are now ship
ping the products of Georgia farms
to Chicago and other cities in the
West.
Some time ago a canning and man
ufacturing company was established
in the little town of Tifton. It his
prospered to such an extent that it is
broadening its field, anil carloads of
its goods are being sent west, where
a profitable market is found for
them.
Sumter and other counties have
been shipping hofne-raised stock to
Chicago, and not oh a small scale,
either, and it is an additional evi
dence of prosperity to know that
these shipments have not depleted
home industries, but that there is plen
ty and to spare;
What the town of Tifton is accom
plishing with one well sustained en
terprise of the character mentioned
above other towns can accomplish al
so, and it is gratifying to note the in
terest which is everywhere manifes
ted in enterprises that encourage the
raising of home supplies on a larger
scale than has been yet attempted.
The citizens of the town of Franklin
arc now working for a cotton mill to
seem to go upon the principal that, j* ,u located in the center of Heard
they might ho entertfting angels una
ware, and it is fetter to lie imposed
upon by many unworthy ones than to
turn away a single [ternou wild is de
serving our help.
.. The Gazbttk is pleased to sajHliat
tho Tifton Canning and Manufactur
ing Company has made a fair start in
inducing the farmers in the vicinity
of Tifton and along the Brunswick
and Western and Georgia Southern
and Florida railroads to engage in
truck farming. It is safe to say
that Tifton will, in a few years, be
the centre of the largest fruit and
vegetable growing section in Georgia,
if unit the South, and the establish
ment of her camicry will be the
mgans to that end.
county, and canning factories are
spoken of for a dozen or more towns
not heretofore interested m such en
terprises.
The people are working on the
right lines now. If they will but
“keep tile saw in the log” they will
reap a golden harvest which will add
greatly to their material prosperity.
