planting for an abundant supply of
provisions.

The Baptist Watchman makes the
following honorable amends for its
siiitib which called forth the editorial,
"Untoward Criticisms,’’whiolijuppear-
ed in the GAZETTE two weeks since:

The Gazette did not thinV that
Bro. Fuller desired to wilfullyor mali
ciously misrepresent this section of
counlry.or to do any act detrimental
to the general prosperity. But. there
seems to be a thoughtless disposition
among the press, an J people to cry

age our desponding people. It is and

press, secular and religious, to turn

Amende Honorable.
McKkk-i'ort, Pa., February 1$.—Mr.
Editor: In a recent issue of your paper,
and a previous issue of the Quitman
News, have appeared communications in
which I am grossly'misrepresented. The
statement that I pronounced Brooks
county superior to section about Tifton
for fruit growing, is untrue. However,
did say that, for farming purposes, l be
lieve Tiftou does not compare with
Brooks county. The people of Quitman
must have drawn greatly on their imagi
nations to think that my object in going
tSoulb was to colonize a farming commu
nity, as nothing could have been further
from my intention.
As to Urn comments of the Gazette on
tlie purpose of my trip—the statement
was purely an Invention. Mr. Davis was
an eiiiire stranger to me until near the
end of our journey to Tifton. 1 saw but
little of him in Tifton and have not seen
him since. Had I been in search of
“Cheap land for speculation" I ceitainly
could have secured it at Tifton, as land
was ottered me as low as one could wish.
Those who were with me know that l did
not go to purchase land, and that it was
my intention to go io Jacksonville, Fla.
But ns Tifton pleased me better than 1
bad anticipated 1 spent most of my time
there, going only as far south us "Val
dosta. ,
Vou will do me a kindness if you will
publish tills letter in full and correct the
statement with .which you saw 111 10 con
ned my name, ns it is untrue and seems
to me entirely out of keeping with ilie
hospitality which 1 received at the hands
of the people of Tifton.
Respectfully.
L.C.’Hai.kii.
The Gazette has no desire to mis
represent .Mr. Haler and, therefort,
gladly gives place in its columns to
Ijls communication above. However,
justice to ourself demands that wo
give the chain of cironinstances that
form the basis of the “inventions" in
our article of which lie complains:
Ik* came to Tifton with u party of
tioniesoekors, on a liomyscoaers’ ex
cursion train and using a liomoseok-
ers’excursion ticket. Wo mot and
was introduced to hint in a party of
liomoaookors who bought properly
and commenced at once to improve
it. 'Vo naturally concluded bo was
a homeseckcr; we didn’t ask him and
lie didn’t, toll us to U10 contrary.
Mr. Davis, of Brooks county riot,
and sand storm notoriety, was also
tvitii the party. Ilo wont home and
proceeded to write up Tif® very
unfavorably because, it is supposed,
lie met, disappointment iu Home an
ticipated scheme. ,
Mr. llaler remained in Tifton sev
eral days and went to Quitman, bear
ing a letter of introduction to Judge
Joseph Tillman who showed him the
lands of Brooks county in the vicin
ity of Quitman and Hickory Head,
especially Ins phosphate laud. While
there'liu used language which led tlie.
Brooks County News to report hint
us srying, “tlie section ab»ut Tiftou
cannot compare with Brooks county
as u fruit-growing country.” but he
says, in his letter, that the News and
its authority misrepresents him.
On his return to Tifton wc met
him again at Hotel Sadie, in the
midst of a party of Northern and
Western gentlemen, engaged iu a
warm anil interesting discussion of
the excellencies of Quitman and
Brooks county. As soon its our ac
quaintance witli the section under
discussion was made known, there
was an immediate change in the con
versation. This might have been a
natural co-incidence, hat we was im
pressed will] the idea that, tlie con
versation was not intended for the
general public, and took our de
parture.
We give Mr. lluier the benefit of
Hot only his letter of denial, bin also
the fact, unknown to us until after
the publication of our “inventions,”,
that he wrote and. published in it Mc
Keesport paper mi article in which
he discussed the relative advantages
of “the section about Tifton” mid
Brooks county with fairness—in fact,
a letter which spoke favorably of
the adaptability of “thesection about
Tifton” as a fruit-growing country,
uud did ample justice to the hosjii-
tulity of our people.
Again, we say we regret misrepre
senting Mr. Haler, but the Gazette
is here to defend Tilton and this sec
tion against misrepresentation of
every character, and while the pres
cut editor is at, the helm that duty
will lie performed without fear or
favor.

The lieuuti fill Snow.
Oil Thursday iiight of last week
Tifton and vicinity was visited by
the severest snow-storm within the
memory of the oldest inhubitani.
The snow commenced to fall about
six o’clock und continued four or
five hours, followed by sleet, and Fri
day morning the whole face of the
earth was coyercd with a coat of
snow—crusted over with sleet—of a
depth Variously estimated at from
three to six inches. It. required sev
eral days to remove the uncommon
visitor.
However, the girls ami buys, and
the men and women ;ia well, enjoyed
it very mooli. Some of them could
not wait until morning to indulge
themselves iu snow-balling. Friday
morning, enow-balls liew thick unil
fast, some of them liurd, and it was
truly exhilarating to hear tlie peals
of laughter front the victorious and
the screams of the vanquished. Dur
ing tlie day, sleds were improvised for
sleigh-riding, but the riding was not
much of a success.
The appearance of the white-crest
ed visitor produced different feelings
upon different persons. Some said
it was a harbinger of good and would
prove greatly beneficial to all depart
ments of agriculture. There were
others who said it was ominous of
evil, and that all vegetation would
suffer from a lengthy drouth which
will surely follow in the spring and
summer when moisture is needed to
mature the crops. The Gazette is
not. weather-wise, and will not cross
the “bridge of sighs” which spans
the “slough of despond” until it is
reached.
