long. 1 his week lie determined to see what
had become of theiD. so he secured a pein,
and, in two hauls, he caught three of them
and became satisfied and quit. They measured
ten inches in length, and were large and heavy.
He is satisfied that thev beat anything in the
fish line for growing that be ever saw, and we
must agree with him that seven inches in less
than eight months is ratber rapid growth.

stock and cattle and pretty women. He has
nothing but praise for wbat he saw, but, at the

Jackson County’s Cotton Record.
We do not know that it is really a source
of congratulation, yet we cannot help feeling
a little proud of the position our county oc
cupies as a cotton producer. On our fourth
page will be found a list of the counties in
the State and opposite the number of acres
planted in cotton in 1879 and the number of
bales gathered. By counting, yon will find
that only twenty-five counties in the State
made more cotton that year than onrs, and
that in the most of them the average yield per
aero was less than in this county—here it
was about two and a half acres to the bale,
when in most of the counties in what is sail
ed the cotton belt, hardly averaged three
acres to the bale. This result is not peculiar
to this county, but is found to be true of most
of the counties in Northeast Georgia. Seve
ral causes are given for it. One is that the
most of the crop is cultivated by the owners
of the land and white labor ; that the crop is
made with moro intelligence and skill. An
other is that the tendency of the cotton plant
is to grow to weed in the South (its native
home), and tho farther North you plant it
forces it to divert its energies to the fruit in
preference to tho stalk. Both reasons appear
good, and must be near the truth, for the fact
exists that up here in Northeast Georgia tho
yield per acre is greater than in South and
Middle Georgia, where the cotton belt has
always been located; this, too, with the fact
that our seasons arc at least from two to three
weeks shorter. It shows that here in North
east Georgia, and more especially in Jackson
county, wc have been wonderfully blessed in
climate, soil and the variety of productions
that our lands will bring forth in profusion.
We arc confined to no specialty, am\, at the
same time we can make a specialty of any of
the principal articles of agriculture.
Did you ever think of it that here in old
Jackson space and climatic differences arc
annihilated ? That you can grow in perfec
tion, and with ease, under the same fence,
cotton, corn, wheat, oats, tobacco, grasses
and all kinds of fruits at tho same time, and
enjoy a health giving air and the best water
in the world ? We can and do average as
much corn to the acre, with as much ease as
to cultivation, as any Western State. It is
the same way with wheat, oats, cotton, tobac
co and grasses. We yield tho palm to no
country that makes any of these productions
a specialty from necessity. The productions
of the far West, of the North and the South
find a ready growth and a congenial soil here
within a small area, embraced in a few coun
ties, with Jackson as a center.
Yet, our people prefer Western corn, Ten
nessee hogs, Minnesota wheat, Kentucky
mules, Cincinnati buggies and wagons, Vir
ginia tobacco and Western hay to raising the
samo articles, or better ones, on their own
farms. Why not raise these articles at home
and enrich j’ourselves f
The farmers of Jackson certainly do not
realize—have no conception of the privileges
they possess. We urge you to think the mat
ter over and arouse yourselves to a true ap
preciation of j'our possibilities. Where, in
the inhabited universe, can you find a people
who can say that, within their own county
limits, they can furnish, in plenty and with
bnt little labor, and raise to a profit the staple
articles of the world’s commerce ? Wc know
of no such favored land outside of Northeast
Georgia.
Bacon’s Latest.
As we said last week, Bud Bacon is a
regular trump (for a nespaper man), and wo
still stick to it. His latest freak, or the latest
found out on him, is that he wa9 the person
who carried off Mr. Bogg’s horse and Mr.
McLester’s buggy. It was suggested at the
time that probably he was the party who had
made way with the articles, but the idea
appeared absurd, and was dismissed without
serious consideration. But subsequent events
revealed the fact that he was the guilty party.
On last Saturday evening the horse came into
town without rider or driver, and upon in
quiry and investigation, the place was found
where it had been tied out for some time in
the old field back of the Mitchell house. The
buggy was found near by, and the evidence
which settled the mischief upon Bacon was
one of his sticks, decorated in a fantastical
manner, that ho usually carried in his hand,
and some other articles that were his. The
horse had gnawed the briblc loose and was
making for home, and, from appearances, had
been tied up without food for several days.
Excursion 1 Excursion I
There will be an excursion, for both black
and white, leave Athens for Atlanta on Friday
morning, August the 12th, 1881, by wav of
the Northeastern Railroad. The excursionists
will reach Atlanta.at 3P. M. and remain until
Monday morning 7 o’clock, and return to
Athens early in the evening. Fare for the
round trip wil! be $2.50 from all the stations.
The excursion is under the management of
some of the most prominent and respected
colored men of Athens, who have had great
experience in this business, and will be a
guarrantee that good order and proper atten
tion will be given to all. As there has always
been a great demand for them, they have con
tinued the plan of setting apart coaches for
their white friends who may wish to avail
themselves of this splendid opportunity to
visit the “ Gate City,” at a small cost, whilst
the Legislature is in session.
Meeting of the Do, Ra, Me’s.

or where the next meeting will be held, but

The Train Has Arrived on the DeLaperriere
Route.
Mr. Editor :—lf you will permit me, I
will give you a little of the news from this
part of the moral vinyard, which you are at
liberty to insert in your valuable Herald.
We arc always anxious in this neighborhood
to receive the lleuald, as it is spicy and
juicy in news—politically, morally and tem
porally.
Crops have improved considerably since
the last rain, which was a trash mover. Far
mers had begun to wear long faces. The
Messrs. DeLaperriere did not care whether
they sold any goods or not, as they had al
ready sold a good amount on time. Farmers
are now wearing bright smiles on their faces,
and say their crops are fine, notwithstanding
forward corn has been cut off. Cotton is as
good as the land will make it, and there will
be an average crop of cotton and corn made
if the seasons continue.
Mr. A. Osborn, the polite clerk of J. C. &
W. P. DeLaperriere, is now anxious to sell
goods to responsible parties. When entering
the store he makes his bow, and, after pass
ing compliments, the next question asked is
if there is any trade for you, and at it be goes.
The caption of this article is, “ the train
has arrived on the DeLaperriere route.” I
mean by that that J. C. DeLaperriere and D.

B. Oliver's train came in last Friday night
was a week. Although it came in the night,
there was a good crowd met it as they heard
the puffing Df the engine and the whistle blow;
their curiosity was excited, to see the engine
come and the train of wagons behind, loaded
with saw mill rigging and gin machinery.
This engine was on exhibition on the streets
of Gainesville the day before it reached its
destination, with a crowd following it equal
to John Robinson's circus. It is a 12-horse
traction engine and will pull about 15,000
pounds—the only one that has been purchas
ed in this section of the State. It will pash
backward the same as polling forward, by
changing lever power, which can be done in*
stantly. It is the most complete arrange
ment the writer has ever seen, aud as their
saw mill is now in full blast, they propose
furnishing Jackson county with lumber at a
reasonable price. Dr. G. W. DeLaperrierc
is now running the engine, and will continue
to ran it for awhile, as ho understands the
machinery. By the by, Dr. George is good
at all trades—school teaching, lawyer, doctor
and machinist. He says that ho will com
plete his medical education about March Ist,
and, and as he now has a better-half, will,
after that time, be regular in the business.
Our Sabbath School celebration is just
over, and was a success. Revs. Mr. McGar-
rity and Hudson addressed the audience.
Several of the young gentlemen made good
speeches and some of the young ladies read
fine essays—those of Miss Belle DeLaperriere
and Mrs. Tandy Randolph being very fine pro
ductions.
The Sunday School is doing great good in
moralizing the children, and some of the
grown people, of our neighborhood.
I will give you more of tho news in my

Departed this life, in the 77th year of her age,
Mrs. E. C. Lanier, wife of Jefferson Lanier.
Mrs. Lanier was born July Sth, 1804; converted
to God and joined the M. E. Church at the age of
fifteen; was married to Jefferson Lanier January
6th, 1828. She raised seven children—six bovs
and one girl. Her six boys still live to remember
and love their sainted mother. Mrs. Lanier united
with the M. P. Church in IS7I, and from its com
munion was taken to the church triumphant on
July 10th, 1881. Mrs. Lanier was a devoted wife,
a kind and loving mother, and a faithful, humble
Christian, ever letting her light shine on the path
of right. She was one of those standard v omen
that lived and walked with God. The sacrament
of the Lord's supper was administered by the
writer a few days before she died; she was nappy
and shouting in hope of heaven.
“ Blessed are the dead who die n the Lord.”
“ Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” “Come
unto me, for lam God.” God bless and sve the
dear boys.
“We hear the great roar of death’s chilly stream,
Ever and anon through life’s feverish dream;
But Jesus will point out the bright silvery strand.
And lead us through t torms to a peaceful land.”
