From the New York Sun.
Editor John Herring of the Tifton
Gazette laments the lost customs of
ore. They have disappeared from
Mft county even as they have fled
from almost all places. Tifton is
in southern Georgia, east of Ty Ty
and west of Enigma. John gets out
the Gazette every afternoon except
Sunday, and doubtless prospers, but
he mourns the old days, the genu

tryside. Taking a column that
might have been devoted to a de

John. He was one of the neighbors

families in all. The babies were

of the visiting ladies remained with
Mrs. Jim to prepare dinner, but the
rest went to pick cotton. Jim had
only ten acres—all he could culti

the family. Half an acre of sugar

older men would take adjoining rows
and talk crops or politics or tell sto

would do the same, swapping neigh

stopping in a shade or fence corner
to pass the snuff box for a congenial
dip, and an undisturbed social chat."
