place same in their hands at once, in
order to have it presented to North
ern purchasers.
While the people north of us are
shivering with cold, with fruits, veg.
etables and fluid crops killed or dam-
uged, we in the South are thinking of
open air picnics and reveling in sneli
luxuries as strawberries, early spring
vegetables of all kinds, and watching
the deepening of the rosy tint on the
luscious peaches and the rapid length
ening of the vine that is soon to ma
ture the Georgia melon. Moral
Come to Georgia.
The peach crop of Tifton and vi
cinity is maturing in a wav that
brings satisfaction, to the heart of
every South Georgian, atid especially
to the grower.himself, for thismeans
not only dollars aud many of them
to him, but financial prosperity to
all who live in our midst. Under
the influence of the recent abundant
showers and bright sunshiae, the
blush upon the peach is deepening
into the sunny hue peculiar only to
the Georgia peach.
The healthfulness of Tifton hoe
always been one of its main recom
mendations to homeseekers. One of
the things not to be lost sight of in
our prosperity and rapid growth is to
see that no filth or garbage of any
kind be allowed to accumulate on the
Streets or about eur doors, for right
liere lurks the germs of disease.
also suggest that no stagnant water
be allowed to stand; if it be for an
emergency of fire, it should boot
sufficient saltness to prevent the
breeding of mosqnitos. The salt will
add materially to its efficiency as an
extinguisher.’ A little vigilance on
these points would add very materi
ally to the health, comfort and econ
omy of our citizens. Connoils can
not enact too rigid measures along
these lines.
Mr. J. W. Somerville, of Sorrento,
Lake county, Fla., was in the city
Wednesday casting about for a new
location. He seemed very much de
pressed over the devastated condition
in which the freeze of lust winter left
that State. He said that, until re
cently, it was thought the orange and
other fruit trees would sprout up
again from the stumps. But not so;
they are irretrievably' killed. The
Gazette regrets to learn this, as the
orange groves of Florida represent
many years of toil and faithful wait
ing of a noble, courageous people.
Messrs. W. 0. Tift and C. W. Ful-
wood visited Fort Vulley some days
ago for the purpose of inspecting
some of the large peach orchards in
that seotion. Being interviewed by
the Gazette man as to their trip,
they expressed themselves as having
seen some umgnifioeutorchards about
Fort Vulley, older than tho Tifton
orohaids, but they are qf the opinion
that the peach and grape crops about
Tifton can be marketed from ten
days to'two weeks earlier than the
same fruit can be'shipped front Fort
Valley, and that Tifton has all the
advantages of Fort Valley and some
that may prove fur superior.
The “Tom Welch” olub inten
ded to hold its annual outing
about the 20th lust., but the recent
heavy rains having kept the Sutilla
river swollen it will probably be post
poned'until later in the season. The
club has purchased and fitted up ele
gant grounds and cottages on the
banks of the Satilla river, opposite
Atkinson station on the Brunswick
und Western railroad, and the mem
bers make an annual pilgrimage there
where they disrobe themselves entire
ly of business cares und give them
selves up to rest und recuperation.
The membership is composed of gen
tlemen who live at nearly every sta
tion on tho Brunswiok and Western
railroad, and largely of railroad
employes.
One of the crying needs of Tifton
to-day is mote house room. There
has been, for the past six months; a
steady and growing inquiry for va
cant houses, and almost invariably
the applicants hod to be turned away.
Here is an opening for some of our
wide-awake citizens with the cash to
make a profitable investment' und at
the same time add materially to tho
growth of the city. We have, with
out question, the most desirable.lit
tle city in eonth Georgia for residence
and commercial purposes. The pub
lic at large are demonstrating this by
voluntarily seeking Tifton as a choice
of location. Houses are renting at
more remunerative prioes than in any
other town of twice its size in the
state. Is there not some one ready
to investigate and seize this opportu
nity?

only train up our boys in the way
they should go, whether we get the

the good people of Berrien to put on

we have bought too nutoh of them
already 1 They have had our crops
for meat, bread, horse feed and
guano for thirty years and the; have
grown rich enough, by our foolish
policy, to come and buy our land.
And where are we going ? And what
will we do? Are we going to take
the few dollars they give us tor our
homes and, os we have done with our
timber and turpentine, eat it up and
waste it? God forbid. 'Let us rather
not like Spartans. Let us show up

can bo self-sustaining, and we cannot

Cecil, May 1.4.—The air was very
cool yesterday owing, perhaps, to
some terrible hail storm. But the fair
weather is welcomed by our farmer
friends, us the grass took advantage
of lust week’s wet, warm weather, and
was making chopping troublesome.
It did not hurt the corn, pigs, pota
toes und gardens, however, anti those
who are farming to live are serene—
very serene 1 The fruit seems to be
promising yet. When tho money
muniu leaves us, mid we uie content
to serve God and let Mammon set up
his kingdom among Borne other peo
ple, wo shall do well, und not before.
When the ministers of Jesus Christ
learn tlmt God is no respecter of the
wealth, pomp and liaughteur of tho
people, and that only those who love
God and keep his commandments urc
entitled to be called Christians;
when they lean', that we are all trav
elers on the level of Time, seeking
an unknown country where dress and
fried oliioken are of no avail in the
iudgment to come, we may Imvo a
better stute of Christianity. “By their
fruits shat. 1 ye know them.”
The hope of the country is in the
weekly press. Just now the daily
press is busy deceiving the mosses
aud leadiug the people astray from
the principles of true Democracy-
the liberty for which the heroes of
the Revolution sacrificed comfort,
fortune and life itself. All honor to
those independent meirwho are edu
cating the people to strive for per
sonal iiijjependeuoa. There arc ton
many drones und yellow jackets in
the hive just now; were every tub to
“stand ou its own bottom,” sonfe of
them would be awful eippty.
Next Saturday the teachers will
meet in Ceoil. The good citizens of
this burg life preparing to give them
hearty welcome. The editors of
the Gazette and News have been
invited to be present, and Rev. W. II.
Smith, of Brooks county will preitch
on Sunday, maybe ulso Saturday
night. We confidently expect much
good to be effected for Cecil and her
surroundings. Lay aside your busi
ness and try us for t wo days. We
have a few chickens left over from

Mr. Mitchell Mutthis died at II
o’clock last night, the 13th, after a
brief illness. Mr. Mutthis was about
45 years old and leaves a wife and

member of the Baptist church and a
good citizen. The heartfelt syinpu
