Nothing of particular interest oc
curred on the trip down. Leaving
here early Monday morning we ar
rived in Savannah at 8 o’clock a. m.

account of the all night ride. Our
party with a large number of dele

rooms at the Harnett House.

fho Society was welcomed to the
the hospitality of Savannah in an ap
propriate address by Mayor Lester.
This was responded to by Hamil
ton Yancey of Rome. In the absence
of President Hardeman, his annu
al address was read to the society 7
• by G. W. Adams. Then came an
essay by Col. Mobley 7 of Harris
county, on “System in Farming a
Necessity.” Col. M’s essay was a
good paper in our opinion, aiid we
pi ay take occasion to publish it
some time soon. The above com
prises the chief business done in the
morning. In the afternoon there was
an essay “Technical Education in
Georgia” by the Hon. N. E. Harris,
one on “Farm Eeonomy by Hon.
W. J. Northern, and a report of ex
periments at University farm with
an essay on “Composting,”by Prof-
White of Athens. All of th ese pa
pers were quite interesting and
were listened to closely 7 , the essay
of Mr. Harris, being generally pro
nounced one of the finest ever read
before the society 7 .
At the night meeting Prof. Riley 7 ,
entomoligst of the L T . S. agricultu
ral department, read an essay on‘In-
sects destructive to Southern Ag
riculture.” Prof. R. demonstrated
to the full satisfaction of the socie
ty that he knew all about bugs.
Tuesday’s proceedings consisted
of an essay by Dr. A. J. Battle of
Mercer University on “Intelligence
as-a Factor in successful Farming.”
We were very much pleased with
the essay 7 of the Doctor. After this
came reports of committees etc.,
which wound up the business of the
day.L ■»-’
President Hardeman having re
signed the presidency of the soci
ety 7 , L. F. Livingstone of Newton
county was elected to fill the va
cancy 7 . ,
It was determined by 7 the ex
ecutive committee to hold a fair in
Macon this fall, and there seemed
. to be a desire in the society 7 to
^make it a- success,
A complimentary 7 excursion to
Tybee Island was tendered to the
society by the citizens of Savannah,
which of course was accepted.—
Owing to a. fog in which we got
tangled up on the river, we did
not get to the island, but had quite
a nice trip nevertheless. We came
near forgetting to state that before
going down the river, we went
up to the Ocean Steamship compa
ny’s wharf, where we were invited
on board the steamship “Na-
coochee,” the finest vessel we ever
sa\v.

for which it was designed. The
style is classic, of the order of Cor

strength and harmony. The outer
walls of the building will be faced
with granite and marble and backed
up with brick work. The cornices,
parapet walls, base and superstruc
ture of dome will also be of marble.
There are four entrances, the prin
cipal entrance being on Washing
ton street. The entrances will be
by 7 broad granite steps of easy 7 as
cent, leading to the grand corridors
of the main floor. The principal
entrance at the Washington street
front will be about fifty-five feet in
width, leading to the grand portico.
The pedement of this portico is
supported by 7 six polished marble
columns with carved capitols, the
tympanum richly ornamented with
the state coat of arms and historic
adornments represented by figures
of Justice, Peace, Science, Law and
Liberty.
The dome is a distinguished fea
ture and will be constructed in ac
cordance with the best examples
of architecture, and entirely detach
ed from all other walls of the build
ing. Access to the gallery of dome
and lantern is by easy 7 stairway’s.
The four floors of the building will
be used as follows: In the base
ment will be arranged the steam
boilers, pumps, fans and engines,
fuel and storage rooms, all entirely 7

will be located all of the executive
offices of the state, the governor
the first on the right as one enters
from Washington street. On the
second floor will be located the
legislative balls, state library, su
preme court room, and the various
rooms required in connection there
with. On the third floor will be lo
cated committee rooms, janitor
rooms and the galleries of the legis
lative halls.
The recent election of congress
men Blackburn of Kentucky to the
Senate of the United States is a
good omen in one respect. It
shows that a man without a “bar
rel” can be elected a member of
that highly dignified body 7 . From
the number of millionaires, railroad
magnates and corporation agents
who have of late years been ele
vated to the senate, common peo
ple were begining to think that it
was degenerating into a kind of
republican house of lords. And
well they might think so, for there
are very 7 few men in that body who
are not millionaires, or connected
with some of the big corporations
of the country. While the elec
tion of Blackburn is a good omen
that of Payne of Ohio is on the
same old line. He belongs to the

THE SITUST.
NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of Tlie Sun
have gone out of our establishment
during the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all The Suns printed and sold
last year you would get a continuous
strip of interrestinginformation, common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Printing
House square to the top of Mount Cop
ernicus in the moon; then back to Print
ing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
But Hie Sun is written for the inhabit- 5
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe
twenty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sun
during tlie past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father has spent another hour, this news
paper in 1883-has afforded the human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading, night and day.
It is only hy little calculations like
these that you can form any idea of the
circulation of the most popular of Ameri
can newspapers, or of its influenceon the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the .truth without
fear of consequences, which gets 'at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without wasto of words aud in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for tlie cause of honest
govennent, and which therefore believes
that tlie Republican party must go, and
go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you kuow the Sun, you like it al-
readv, and you will read it with accustom
ed dilligence and profit during what is
-sure to be the most interesting year in its
history. If you do not yet kuow the Sun
it is high time to get in the sunshine.
