Official Paper of the Ordinary of Spalding county and the City if Griffin. A family in Kumms is literally pre pared to look after the public “from the cradle to the grave ” Ouf son is a physician, another ait undertaker, a third makes tombstones, and the wife of the latter ruin a drug store This family is bound to get its share of all the patronage H oit)g.

Th# vitals of unit carpet us the Sunday school room had to be considered, as well as the vi t ils of the youth of the town. line is the time us the year when the city man longs for ami dreams of < the grateful smell of the freshly turned furrows and the singing as the birds in the trees. But does the city man know that that fragrance i f the m wly turn ed sod i» nothing more u. r less than millions of little microbes dtawti into the nose, and that what we call the music of the birds is only the mechan ical process of sound waves beating against the drums of our ears’ The scientists tell us these things, They have even g l io the point where they can make a correct diagram of the love-throb of a fond heart that is filled with joy at meeting a,th i's idol, or measure precisely the depth of emo tion that is felt at the unexpected arrival of a mother-in-iaw for a sea son’* visit. These scientific fellows are . taking about all <4 the poety and romance out of life and m iking it a dessicated, kiln-dried, sterilized reality. | What Handlers of Cotton Say, In support of the suggestion to fa - cilitato measures looking to further improve the cotton market, a promi* : nent Savannah house has written a ( letter to Commissioner Stevens, a part of which has been given out by him for publication and is as follows : “Today there is not a single influ ence, so far as I can see, which is at work in favor of the producer of cotton To the contrary, the agencies are now erful and multiplied to take that from him which rightly belongs to him “To give you some little idea of con ditions a broker informed me yester day that he had paid in the shape of reclamations, since the first dur of September, to foreign buyers, the enor mous sum of $55,000. Do you think that the parties who bought that cotton on the other side are entitled to any such reclamations, in many instance* $1 50 per bale? Never. This thing is brought about entirely by the custom which prevails, under the Lob boni ness, to allow these sharks on the Other »ide to exercise the privilege of making reclamations, whether there is any merit in I hem or no'. “I express the opinion ’.hat if the cotton was sold after it was inspected by a sworn, competent weigher, at ttie point of shipment, this inspection to bo final, prices would be 2;> per cent higher than they are today, because it would then be sold on competitive basis, and responsible firms and indi viduals who have been driven out of it, would do so. and the buyer here at the ports would know that he was getting what he paid for. “I am so situated in the business as to receive the full benefit of the in formation connected with the cotton business. I know that the industry is languishing because of the fact that all of the influences which are brought tu fear are brought bear in favor ot tlo- consumer, as against the producer.

Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the Fittest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than 1 can profitably’ make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say, in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county, There are a number ol tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over SB,OOO to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay’ for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that 1 mean what I say, I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very’ low. The titles to the land have been in. the posses sion of one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gobi. S. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
