Brown, of tbe San, bad qnite an experience on hia trip to Florida, While many little things oocured to mar the pleasures of his trip yet he speaks in very high terms of the kind treatment that many of the good people of tbe Orange State ex tended him. Some of our citizens were under tho impression that hia home was in Gainsvillo, where yellow fever has been raging for several weeks. But not so. His home was at Ivingstone, some distance below Gainesville. In order to reach this place he had to pnrBne a circuitous route. To do this he had to engage a horse and buggy and travel through the country. Here is where be encountered his most severe diffl cutties, He says that sometimes he would meet people in the road and they would be so frightened at his appearance, thinking him to be u ref ugoe from tbe fever stricken district, that they would bide themselves be bind trees until bo passed by. If be ventured too near a bouse to ask for informafioa concerning his route, he would sometimes be met by a man with a gun, who would tell him to make himself scarce or else re ceive tbe contents of the gun. Of course, he preferied the for mer, as he had no inclina tion whatever to offer his body as a target for tbeir marksmanship, pre ferring to invade the territory of yel low jack and risk the chances. At one bouse, wishing to obtain shelter for the night, he drove into the yard and proceeded to unhitch his horse preparatory to going into the bouse and sharing the hospitality of the owner. The farmer came up just as he had finished and invited him ido the house. They were met at the door by the old man’s daughter and she, recognizing tbe presence of a stranger, hurst into tearsand exclaim ed; Oh. father I thought you said you were not going to let any more of those yellow fever people stay here ! The father after expoBtulat ing with her finally quieted her fears and Mr. Brown, weary, broken down and nearly famished, secured tbe nights rest that he was so much in need of. And thus .it was all along, until, after enduring so many hard ships he finally arrived at his destin ation. Who would not undergo all this to have such a beautiful wife to greet him upon his return T Piet ure to yourself, kind reader, the pleasurable emotions that must have flashed through his heart as his beautiful wife, with arms extended meets the poor wayworn travelerion his arrival home and then will you not agree with the writer when he says even death could be faced with a smilo under such circumstances. Mr. Brown finally succeeded in bringing away with him his wife and together they took their depart ure from the land of flowers, she to visit in Albany, he to return to Grif Inland assumo his duties with the Sun whore she will soon join him, and it is said, will furnish that paper with some spicy articles from her brilliant pen, which, backed by a fertile brain, will no doubt create quite a sensa tion iu newsp iper circles. We cor dialy welcome her into our charming little city. OUR COTTON REPORT. Receipts Nearly One Half Greater Than this Date Last Year.

The Best Cotton Seed and Corn Crusher Yet Invented, We had the pleasure on Thursday of witnessing the operation of » new cot ton seed and corn crusher just put up at Drewrv’s gin mill by Mr, J. W. Butler, of the Chattanooga Plow Co. It has hitherto been found impossible to get a seed crusher (that would work rapidly and effectually with small power and yet not gum up or iheat the journals ; but all these desired ends seem to bo satis factorily attained iu this uew machine. In the first place, it was run easily at full speod without perceptible effect upon the power of a twenty horse power engine uugaiiu which nuxvu was " already ---—-- J doing — 'o the work of twenty five horse power by run three gins, a press, a snetion eleva tor and a seed conveyer with eighty- pounds of steam. The principles of the machine are simple, though entirely new in this application, and their adop tion admirable. The seed is crushed be twetu two shallow Hanged hard steel burrs revolving toward the same point, one with 850 revolutions per minute tho other at one^tliird that speed. The mills capacity in speed, however, is 1200 revo lotions. The inner part of these burrs are made of softer metal, with iutetvals to allow for expansion and contraction. A simple shield keeps all sand and dirt out t f the journals, the latter being of the best metal for the purpose and de taehable when necessary,though no beat could be felt after an hour’s steady run ning. Tbe grinding burrs are held in position by a strong spring, adjusted by a bolt, so that any too hard foreign sub stance falling between would pass through without injury to the mill. The feed is regulated or cat off entirely by a simple lever arrangement. Tbe test was made upon some very hard seed which had been heated and nearly spoiled, and was in every way ut the machine working smooth and not a seed passing through with being crushed. At a low rate of fifty pounds of this seed were in three minu’es, while fresh seed worked much quicker. The will crush 600 bushels of the seed in a day, or 1000 bushels good seed. It is equally efficacious corn or cow peas, and altogether is a machine as every farmer with any should have. By its use, with pounds of cotton seed, 500 of Kai 500 of^ammonia, ho can make a fer equal to the best for $11.25 a ton. For farther particulars the reader is to D. W. Patterson, who will as agent iu Griffin. Specimens of crashed seed may also be seen at office. IIK* Loading I v | Fragrant! Lasting! The Price 25 Cts. PEBFU1IE. Sold ot Druggists.
