An Industry That is Destined to Sup¬ plant Cotton, Enriching Owner aud Land Alike. Hatchachdbbie. Ai,a„ Mar. 10, 88. EJitor Griffin News. —I saw in a copy of your paper dated March 9tb, an arlicle on Goose Railing as an industry. 1 have forgotten who it was written by, ss I took no note of it, and it struck me as being more to the point iS.-n aDy I have over seen on this subject. As 1 have beeu in the Goose liaising business since 1872 and know what it is, to encourage this uew enterprise. I will give to the public (if you have spice in your columns) aom-t of my views on this subject or industry, which will sooner or later equal or exceed the cotton crop o? the Southern States, fifteen years ago,this .July, I rolled out of old Putnam county, Ga„ in a top wagon, with a wife, two children and two geese and a gander, that my wife wouldn’t sell because they were formerly owned by her grandmother. These, with some provisions and a bundle of clothing, made up our property. Time rolled on anil so did our one horse wagon, uutil we leached this spot, known dow as Goose Hill, six miles south of Maferkeraville. We drew up our team before t. desolate looking but, and an old man hobbled to the door and stooping to look out saluted us: “Hello, Georgia! come out here to die? Better turn that thRr mule round and let him puli yer back whar you come frum.’’ Not heeding the old man, who continued to talk, we all got out and obtained permission to stay all night. Hesaemed to have a hut full, but we got in and after a meal of roasted corn bread, all went to sleep on the floor, except the old man and my self, who sat by the scrub oak fire and talked of Georgia, of which I soon found him to be a native. He had moved out here several years ago and his stock having starved, was too poor to get back. Alter conversing for some time, the old man turned to me and said, as if he though it might hurt my feelings: “Neighbor, I don’t mean to do you any harm, but if you will agree I’ll give you this house and place. 370 acres of land, for that tbar male and wagin, I tell yer, though this land wouldn‘t sprout cow peas if it were to rain ashes for six months; but there is enough of it, an yer are wei come to it if yer waDt it. I have been livin’ here some thirteen year au’I’vo never made as much as three pints of gubers on it yet. It starved out all of my slock but one old billy goat, and ufterwhile he died.” Seeing that the old man had no idea of stopping, I interrupted him and told him much to his surprise and ploasure that he could have tb*- wagon and mule and I would take the land. So early the next morning ho packed up the wagon with his wife and children (I forgot to c®nnt the latter) and turnsd Mike'S head once more toward Georgia. I have often wondered what became of the old man and his family: and I guess he has often wondered who buried the family ho left in the hut. The two children 1 aving been turned out the night before, there was nothing to turn out next morn ing but the three geese. The mo ment the cover was taken off the basket they jumped out and seemed very much pleased with their new borne, Toe old gander immediately assumed autnoiity and marched the ge«*Be off down the hill, uttering al most at every step iu his deep tones, “Gravel, gravel.” I could never find oat what they got to eat, but they seemed to flonritb, and before many days mother goose brought THE NEW YORK STORE ' ~M RECEIVED DURING THE W EK MR. LYONS has been for the past six weeks a busy man among bus, the hum and buzz of busy New York, but none among the thousands have proven tip . . ;s busier than Grif¬ fin's great Manipulator of Low Prices. LYONS moves in a mysterious way. and it's herd to tell wnat he is going to do. generally speaking, but WHEN THE END IS REACHED ■Mi In the matter of cheap dry goods the people have long since learned to know he leads all competition. If cuts in prices are made, LYONS’cut is always the lowest. Now to the point: If you want cheaper goods than ever, pass an hour in the great leader’s double rooms, getting his prices. This year’s purchases has surprised every one In Ills establish¬ ment, from manager dow n, on account of the wonderful pick ups and the close prices which absolutely prevail in every line.

LYONS. up tucb a gang of young ones, that it took my wifs all the evening to count them and it was not long be fore tbe other goose brought in her part, which showed that she had not been idle. At the end of the first year toe old gander found himself at the head of 57 gees#. At the end of tbe sec¬ ond year they had iucreasect to 350, and so the flock has been growing for 15 years. When vre made our last count, last fall, there were 90 pens lull, each pen holding an aver age of 100 geese. In the spring tbe goose becomes very fat, when they are taken up and placed side by side in a long box, with a. glass cov er- A quill is inserted in the breast just under tbe rkin, and a one gallon tin can uuder the quill. When the sun bfgiDB to shine pretty hot, the grease runs through the quill in a stream and soon fills up the can. A good goose will always fill up the can. The goose that does not yield a can full is t*ken out and killed (in order to improve the stock) while tbe others are taken and stripped of their feathers and quills, and turned out to get f it again, I will say here that this is not tbe most valuable part of the goose. Goose raising will pay handsomely if nothing be ta ken kut the quills. I consider the quills by far the most valuable article of the goose. Last year our sales amounted to 30.500 bunches quills, 374 cents per bunch ; 9,000 gallons goose butter,at 82^ cents per gallom 2,700 pounds feathers at 42J cents per pound ; besides 1,500 geese that we sold to a mao who is starting a ranch in Miss Siippi.
