a great Griffin town. ie Griffin good is place a pawing to live

standpoint to any in the world. The

Editor News;—I t was certainly
pleasing to see by your yesterday’s
paper that the experimental farm
had been paid for and equally asgrat-
ifying, it - must have been, to th*
friends of Mr. „H. C. Burr, to see that
you accord much credit to him for
his successful effort in making the fl ‘
nancial arrangement.
It was no small undertaking at
this season of the year to raise on
short notice the sum of ten thousand
dollars, and it was a problem to
many to know how to raise it. The
plan was suggested by Mr. Burr and
by his efforts was made a success* No
motive can be ascribed for his zeal
except that he was actuated by a de¬
sire to promote the public good; and
he gathered aroimd him other pnb-
lic-spirited men who confided in his
good judgment.

Burr we might have lost the experi¬

This may be putting it strong,
stronger than is pleasing to Mr. Burr,
who in his modesty accords to his
friends much of the credit, yet I feel
that they themselves do fully apprs-
clate-fhe active aftd Important fart
takenby him in this public affair. No

Pike County Journal.
It becomes our painful duty this
week, as the official publisher of Pike
cotnty, to advertise the printing ma¬
terial used by the Orthodox Demo¬
crat to be sold by the sheriff on the
first Tuesday in July next.
Fora long time the Democrat sang
a sweet tune, but as the wind gave
out it aontracted every muscle, lock¬
ed its feet behind its head, its hands
behind its back, and drawing a long
breath, turned loose all at once upon
the whole county on general princi¬
ples and the sad lines that appear
over the sheriff’s signature in another
column is the sequel. Mr Whitaker, -
who is a sharp, shrewd man, very
probably hurried along the crisis
merely to get the Democrat off his
hands. In any event the thing has
come to a focus and the Democrat is
apparently as dead as a thousand
pounds of voy dead door nails.

it looked as if it wore never to serve
its S4 -* *“*-~*~* intended purpose. Next to it «•.
stood a pretty cottage. “A barber
lives in that houst,” remarked that
Ballstonian, pointing to the cot.
tage.
“He evidently made it pay,” was
my friends comment. . .....
“And the man who was going to
build there,” continued the Ballsto¬
nian, pointing to the abandoned
foundation, “gave it up as soon as
he heard that the barber had bought
th* lot next to him and was going to

The Pear BUskt.
Savannah New*.
We publish this morning the report
of Mr. M. B, Waite, the governor ex¬
pert who was sept to Southern Geor.
gia by the agricultural department
at WSshington to investigate the
disease with which the pear growers
of that section are afflicted. The re¬
port shows that Mr. Waite has made
a tharough investigation. The facts
which he presents are very interesting.
The conclusion he reaches is that the
disease is the genuine blight, for
which there is no known remedy.
The pear growers of Southern Geor¬
gia and Northern Florida are natur.
ally very deeply interested in know,
ing whether there is a reasonable
prospect that the b)ight will disap¬
pear. On this point Mr, Waite can
not, of course, give them any very
positive information. He can only
pre h.rd,h»T.b»nrt»ll l »lYa«S
a»ch.n«. are that it will dia.pp»r
a °r two. lath. ««»-
time it may do a great deal, or com¬
paratively little damage.
But will it reappear again? That
is a question which cannot be anwer-
ed satisfactorily. Mr. Waite Seems
inclined to the opinion that it will,
but he does not pretend to say at
be expected. His report shows clear¬
ly that old trpes have suffered to far
greater extent than young ones, and
that those have suffered most which
have been the most generously fed
with fertilizers.
It is to be profoundly regretted
that this misfortune has overtaken
the pear growing industry of South
Georgia and North Florida. Hun¬
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been invested in pear orchards in
that section of country within the
ldst few years. The pear growers
were so confident that the production
of the LeConte pear was only in its
infancy that they have boasted that
within a very few years the pear ship,
ments would exceed the orange ship¬
ments.
There in no occasion, however, for
taking a very gloomy view of the
pear prospects. The LeConte pear
tree is a very hardy one, and within a
year or two the disease from which it
now suffers to some extent may en¬
tirely disappear. It is stated that
there are orchards in Sont-h Georgia
which were afflicted a few years ago
with the same disease, and that they
are now in a healthy condition. One
of these orchards is that of Judge
Fleming, of Baker county. Judging
from the course of the disease in that
orchard, the pear growers have no
occasion as yet to be very seriously
alarmed.
