‘•I had occasion this morning to
pass through the alky In the roar of

on the west side of Hill street," hs
•aid, “and the stench was absolutely
intolerable. I was offered a business
lot In this neighborhood at a very
cheap price, but refused simply on
account ef these surroundings. On
the next lot to whet* I am living
there is a gnat quantity of filth,
hot the officiate do nothing about it
and I can do nothing. It Is Just as
Dr. Moore says, then is every accom¬
paniment for an epidemic and the
hot and wet weather gnatly increases
the danger. Griffin Is naturally a
healthy dty, but if the pneent neg¬
lect of unitary precautions continues
I must return home at once, al¬
though I had expected to remain
until after the first of September."
Do the citizens ot Griffin wboee
treleesneee and indifference hae given
rise to such a condition of affairs
propose to keep on until they drive
visitors away, who, while escaping
the ill smells, will carry HI fame of
the dty with them? Are the dty

If not, then something more should

Sunday’s America* Recorder:
Griffin, Ga., August 1.—Urn
Georgia State Horticultural Society
eould wit have selected a more ap¬
propriate place in which to hold its
meeting than the city of Griffin.
Situated in the centre of one of the
largest fruit districts in the State, It
is surrounded by vineyards BDd
orchards which at ones attract and
hold the attention oi ail visitor! to
the great horticultural resources of
Georgia. The very air seeme load¬
ed with the aroma of peaches aad
grapes; while the eye, tom; in What
direction it will, is refreshed with
the view of ridge and valley g*e«a
with the foliage of tees and vine.
* . • ■ *
I shall not attempt to give tbe
proceedings of the convention, and
can only say that it was composed
of as an intelligent and refined a
body of men as ever assembled in
Georgia, for no man can be a true
and ardent lover of fruit and flowers
and be ignorant and debased.
The horticulturist Is indeed "one of
nature’s noblemen," for his calling
is one that refines the soul, elevates
the thought and invigorates his
physical being. Tbe attendance
upon these conventions is gradu¬
ally increasing each year, and the
membership of the society now
numbers about one hundred and
fifty. In these conventions there is
no strong debate or lofty flights of
eloquence, but every subject is
calmly and intelligently discussed,
the aim being to arrive at the truth
and to add information. Much, if
not all, of tbe development of Geor¬
gia’s horticultural resources is due
to the quiet gud persistant influence
of this society, and it has never re¬
ceived the recognition at the hands
of the State and the people that it
should. It has never received any
public aid and its expenses have
been paid oat of the private contri¬
butions of its members. It is time
that tbe State should give it recog¬
nition by at least the detail of a
clerk in the agricultural depart¬
ment, whose duty it should be to
collect and disseminate statistical
information as to the fruits of our
State.
* • *
____________
Tbe displays of fruit at this meet¬
ing was the finest ever mads is
Georgia, not only in quality, but in
variety. Three long tables spread
in a large warehouse were filled with
epecimens of fruit from various por¬
tions of the State, and one had bat to
look over them to realise as bs never
had before how lavishly bad Nature
bestowed her greatest gifts upon the
Empire State. J. H. Parnell exhibit¬
ed 350 plates of peaches, of which 69
were seedlings. S. H. Bumph exhib¬
ited magnificent specimens of his
famous Elberta peach, some of which
were taken from the orlgnal tree,
now twenty-one years old. There
were over 900 varities of grapes ex¬
hibited, so perfect in their beauty as
to dispell any wonder that Bacchus
was worshipped as a god. Bnt ths
display was not confined to peaches
and grapes, for there were pears,
plums, apples, quincts, figs, pome¬
granates, aad vegetables of almost
every variety. One gentleman said
to me: “If yon eould take that ex
bibit in your car aad show it to the
people of the North, it would be the
finest advertisement Georgia ever
had," and I believed him, for it was
an exhibit that for variety and per¬
fection any section might be proud
of, if it had no other attraction.
« * •
l am indebted to Capt. G. A. Con-
ningham, wboee guest I waa, for many
courtesies shown me, and especially
for a most enjoyable ride through the
orchards and vineyards in the vicini¬
ty of Griffin and a visit to toe Expert
mental Farm. A ride of little over a
mile brought us to the term, and as
we pulled up in front iff a handsome
•ottage set back of a grassy lawn,
shaded with large oaks while a foun¬
tain cooled the atmosphere, and a
dainty damsel tripped down tbe walk
to welcome us, I no longer wondered
that Griffin raptured the locating
board. Had 1 been ooeof the board
I should have surrendered without a
word. Tbe term is not only beauti¬
fully torate^buthasa vartety of
•oil well adapted to experiments with
Butlfeilo h's management*^year
hence the term will look even better
than it does now. Griffin never did
a better thing than securing the Ex¬
perimental Farm, as it cannot fail to
prove an attractive advertisement.
I wish I had the time and ability to
fully describe our rid! through the
orchard* and vineyards, and to ex
plain how through them the old red
bills of this section ol Georgia have
been made mime of wealth. For
miles we rode through peach orehsrds
and vineyards, the vines in the latter
being loaded with purple clusters
which were being plucked and
packed for the market. My guidq
filled me op with facte and figures os
to the products of fruit farms, hot I
ran only give a couple of examples.
At Vineyard, a little side-track three
miles from Griffin, fifty car loads of
pacbes were shipped this season. An
owner of a small peach orchard sold
his crop on ths tress lor $1,000, and
the buyers made a profit of $10,000.
Land whieh a few years ago found no
sate, now commands from $50 to
#100 per acre, and peaches and
grapes have done it.

Sunday Sbeottnc,
On Sunday morning at a very early
hour several negro men lefthere in a
wagon to attend the Hosanab meet¬
ing near Jackson. There were also a
number ot negroes along the road
going to the same place, among
them a number of women. The wa¬
gon contain besides others Aleck Jor¬
dan and John Garner. Aleck who is
na n ally filled up with whisky when on
any kind of excursion, became very
boistrous aod waa using very pro¬
fane language in the presence of the
colored ladies, when he was remon¬
strated with, became very angry and
jumped out of the wagon and telling
the balance to look out, drew his pis¬
tol and shot John Garner in the left
shoulder. Dr. T. J. MitcheU, who
lives at Double Cabin*, extracted the
ball and dreeaed the wound which is
not considered very dangerous.
Aleck came back to town, had his
shoes blacked at the depot and hear¬
ing the officers were after him pro¬
ceeded to hide ont. A warrant was
sworn out for him Sunday afternoon
but up to present time he has not
been apprehended.

Many are the absurb transactions
whieh takes place in banks, some of
them showing an over-cautiousness
in the care of money, and others,
like the following, an amusing ignor
anee of its value:
A Georgia paper says that anegro,
tbe fortunate possessor ef a valuable
house lot, one day sold his property
for $10,000.
He was given a check for that
amount, which was ranted in due
time to one ofthe banks. The pay¬
ing teller asked him how much of the
money he wanted in rash.
"I wants all datar paper calls fur,”
replied the negro.
"What! Ton don’t want $10,000
inrasht"
"Jeeso, sah.”
"All right,” answered the man,
and in five minutes he began piling
tbe money on the counter.
As be laid the $500 patkages on
the counter the negro’s eyes grew
larger aad larger. Finally when
twenty ot the packages had been
placed before him, he looked intently
at them for a moment and then,
with a broad grin on his face, said: ,
