The Empire Garden Midsummer
Fair for 1895, will be the greatest

There are many prospectors about
our streets these days. Tifton is not
the deadest place in the world by big
odds. Wo are neither prophets uor
the sons of prophets, but in the lan
guage of Henry Clay, we can distinct
ly “hear the tread of the coming mil-
I'mno **
of the week. They were here for the
purpose of securing options on lands
for colonization purposes.
Why do not the farmers of this

The blowing of dinner whistles in
Tifton these days reminds us that
our manufacturing, as well aa agri
cultural interests arc growing. Tif
ton has ceased to be au infant., and
gives notice to the world that she
lias doffed her “swaddling clothes”
and entered the race of progressive
cities to the finish.
Mr. B. A. Colo has purchased,
through the Baldridge & Fulwood
real estate ageuoy, a teo-ncre farm on
the Union road, two and a half miles
south of Tifton, where lie intends
embarking iu the poultry business.
Success to him; may many more of
our live, energetio young men be
fired with the same ambition.
One of the problems that confront
the people of Tifton just now, is how
nre visitors to the fair to be given
Comfortable accommodations during
their stay. Let them remember the
experience of last year und profit by
it. It is fair to presume that the at
tendance this year will be doubled, if
not trebled, in comparison with last
year, and ample provision should be
made for the accommodation ot a 1 1
who come.
There are three facts which the
citizens of Tifton should net lose
sight of for a moment—the 10th of
June and the annual teachers’ insti
tute will soon be here, the fair build
ing must be renovated and comforta
bly seated in the interim and every
family in the city should exert them
selves to entertain one or more of the
teachers wiio will be present so that
ail may be cared for comfortably.
Mr. J. fl. Harris, of Hotel Sadie,
has gone to Houston, Texas, to be
present at the encampment of Con
federate veterans. lie is too young
for a veteran, hence his business is
not to rehearse his war experiences
around the camp fires. He has a
copyrighted photograph of the exact
spot where the Hon. Jefferson Davis,
president of the Southern Confed
eracy, was captured, and the object
of bis visit is to push the sole of
these pictures.

tate firm of Baldridge & Fulwood,

ern purchasers.
As we go to press this week, we
hear the sad news of Supervisor J. D.
■Mathews’ death, which ocourred at
Lake City on Wednesday night, the
22nd inst. He, with his men, were
on mam track with his car, when
train No. 1, north bound, suddenly
came upon them and before Mr.
Mathews could escape he was struck
by the engine and injured so serious
ly that lie died shortly after 12
o’clock on Thursday morning. .
The Tifton Cornet Band effected
an organization by electing the fol
lowing officers: President, Geo. W.
Rex; Vice-President, ltobt. Hall; Sec
retary, Milton Kent; Treasurer, W.
W. Robb; Leader, 0. G. Hartsficld.
The hand starts with a membership
of twenty, with eight or ten old, ex
perienced musicians, who can pick hji
their instruments and move right off.
It looks as though we could furnish
our own music at the Midsummer
Fair.
We had the pleuBiire this week of
being shown through the commodious
establishment of the Tifton Foundry
ami Machine Company’s plant by
Capt. R. S. Kell, Superintendent and
one of the chief owners. Cant. Kell
lias shown rare judgment ami skill iu
the arrangement of the plant. It con-'
sists of two mam buildings. In one
will be carried on both brunches of
the foundry business. It contains a
large brass smelting furnace and
metal cupola, with u- wood-working
and pattern department attached.
The othei building contains all the
necessary equipment for an extensive
machinery business. They intend
muking a specialty of repairing lo
comotives, erecting saw mill plants
und all work that bus heretofore been
compelled to go to the larger cities
and towns. This enterprise fills a
long-felt want in this section, and is
certainly worthy of the support of
all, and with such a practical man us
Capt. Kell at the head of it will he
able to guarantee satisfaction.

The program was carried out with one
or two oxccptlona, every one of tho
eighteen members present scmlng full o
Interest. Homo very Interesting ques
tions were argued before tho body.
Should the teachers bo elected by tho
County Hoard of Education i" was car
ried—14 lo 8.
“Should llio tcachors receive a fixed sal
ary?" was docided In llio affirmative—18
to II.
Tho lining sections of tho by-laws of
tho body, which hud been rescinded at a
previous meeting, were, ou motion of It.
C. Woodard, reinstated unanimously.
The following resolutions were Intro,
dured:
Iieeoteed, First, Tiwt we, tho teachers
of ilerrlcn county Teachers’ Institute,
hereby express our appreciation to the
M 'c of Cecil for the liberal hospitality
s Institution.
Second, That we congratulate this peo
ple for obtaining the services of li. C.
Woodward, one of our busiest teachers,
for their school.
These were unanimously adopted.
The following Is » resolution Intro
duced by Capt. J. H. Anthony but which
did not receive auy further notice; .

Bolutiitltm’s Budget.
Tho Teachers' Institute for Bcrrion
county Is over, so far as Cecil is con
cerned, and wo nil unt our choice picco
of Oglotreo's line, fut beef, and all the
irofessors spoke their pieces, and tbo
ndlua, God bless them, wore their new
hats, and wo all felt good, nml may tho
good feeling continue evermore.
1 had thought the good old limes,when
wo used to fatten anil stuff pigs and tur
keys, and have big meetings and stuff
the preachers, were gone forever, as tho
pigs and turkeys have become more
scarce and llio preachers more plentiful,
and prefer, llku llio merchant, that their
pockets be siulfcd rather thnn tholr
stomachs ■, hut wo have llio tcachors who
ate content with Die stomach stuflling,
and wu nre contented and lmppy. But I
have set tny lisart, to uso a common
erroneous expression, of seeing another
curiosity— a stuffed editor. It is written
in the chronicles of that most noble of
all professions, Dint they arc a starved
set. Just why inferior professions should
bo well fed und cared for, ami have
money to spend in society, and Die aver
age editor lie compelled to suffer bis
days out as n type of Billy liibs, 1 can
only conjecture, lie Is a worker, not a
talker; und perhaps thu dear people
think Dial bis jaws would be unequal to
tho tusk of mastication, not being well
trained, as they are. Or. as lie furnishes
tho only digestible mental food the masses
consume, that they think lie lives on a sort
of nectar, like llio heathen gods, and has
no use for fried chicken. Any wav, it is
a popular belief that the lawyer, doctor,
preacher and teacher “linvo to livo,” but
tho editor, why, ho ranks with Die bond
holder. Did they not pay him a dol
lar V or are going to pay him when
crops are soUr Of course ho can Uvo!
Al llio risk of reiteration, 1 say I want to
sec a stuffed editor, and one who will ac
knowledge Die corn.
I learn from competent judges (tho
public) Dial thu Institute was a grand
success. The professors did not come in
as great numbers ns wc lipped and ex
pected, ns wo hud made arrangements
for all; hut remember, after Caleb and
Joshua lmd toted llmt Immense bunch of
grapes so far to prove their assertions,
all fho Jews would not go to the Prom
ised Land. However, no bad n feast of
reason and well-tilled dishes, and Cecil
bids them come again.
I did not have tlie pleasure of knowing
nil tho teachers, nor bearing nil the pow
wow. My old ami tried friend, Professor
0. L. Chestnut, Was lioro, and I bad the
pleasure to grasp Ids Imnd. l.iko Dan
Voorbeos, these Chestnuts nre “old laud-
marks."
Tho noise and confusion and fluttor of
ribbons prevented my recognizing suv-
eral or my younger friends of the corps,
which 1 regret. Tho editors of the Ga
zette and Now* were Invited, but only
Major B. T. Allen showed up. I have
found him a faithful soldier of tho quill
and over at the post of duty. I regretted
Editor Webb's susance us 1 had intended,
us Die dutchman said, to "kill ono bird
mil two stones " My wife had killed the
fatted hen, amt I desired friend Webb.
But I worried Major Allen awhile, aud
ono of the eras will hereafter be—the
day of tbo Institute
At night I heard Bro. W. II. Smith,
who prenchod for our pooplu al tho
Methodist church. Owing to a misun
derstanding, his congregation was small,
but remarkably attentive and woll be
haved. There Is no truer mark of a gen-
tleman than that of good behavior, es
pecially at church.
A little excitement was raised In town
this morning by the capture of a negro
