THE COTTON CROP.
—
Jy One-Half the Staple Gathered,
and the Field* are White.
J. W. Travis, our efficient Tax
Collector, who has been all over the
county two or three times recently,
was interviewed by a News reporter
about the condition of the crops and
the country generally.
Mr. Tratiswas delighted with the
cheerfulness of the farmers. He said
that they are making the best crops
that Georgia has ever produced. He
does not know a farmer who will be
in debt when the crop is sold, and he
says he met with scores of them who
say they will come out ahead.
•‘They will all make money,” he
added, “and not only that, but they
wiil make corn and meat enough to
do them the entire year. Thesngar
cane crop is one of the best they have
ever raised, and the sweet potato
crop has hardly been equaled since
the war. More corn was harvested
this year than hus ever been before,
from the fact that the acreage is
larger. In short, the year has been
a most prosperous one among the
farmers.”
“How about cotton?” he was ask¬
ed.
“Never better.”
“How does the acreage compare
with last year?”
“About the same. Not much
more, if uny more, land is planted
in cotton this year.”
“What proportion of the crop is
gathered?”
“Very little over the half of it.
The cotton is better fruited this sea¬
son and a longer time will be requir¬
ed for all of the bolls to open. Near¬
ly all of the fields that 1 saw were
white with cotton, and they were be¬
ing picked the second time.”'
“How have the seasons been for
gathering it?”
“Just as favorable as they could
be. The pleasant weather, devoid of
storms and rain, has caused the cot¬
ton to open rapidly, and it has also
enabled the farmers to pick it out
just as fast as it opened without a
stain. It has been gathered in the
best condition, and the markets have
never had a finer lot of cotton.”
“You have been in the warehouse
business, Mr. Tra vis, and know some¬
thing about the movements of the
cotton erop. What do you think
our receipts will be this fall?”
“I can not say, but they will be a
great deal larger than for many
years past. The neighboring towns
are getting very little in comparison
with what comes to Griffin. While I
have not been outside of the county,
I can see that the general drift is all
this way, and I should think, if the
frost does not cut off the top crop,
we will get at least 30,000 bales.”
The Tax Collector said that he no¬
ticed a feature of farming that is a
true sign of better times.
When asked to what he referred, he
replied, “the inclination of the farm¬
ers to increase the acreage for corn.”
He says that while he noticed that a
large number of the farmers are cul¬
tivating the same amount of cotton
land, their corn acreage is a great
deal larger, and in some instances it
is doubled. The alliance, he says, is
inculcating this idea into the minds
of the farmers, and lie approves of
the wisdom of the plan. In short,
Mr. Travis says he found everything
brighter aud happier than lie has
seen it. for years, and he takes it ns
an omen of better and more pros¬
perous times.
The Power of Ink.
“A small drop of ink, falling, like
dew, upon a thought, proclaims that
which makes thousands, perhaps
millions, think,” wrote Byron. The
in»piration of his pen might give the
dusky fluid such a far-reaching power,
and we wish we were possessed of such
an inspiration, that we might,
through a like a medium, bring into
such extended notice the matchless
virtues of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pur¬
gative Pellets, those tiny, sugar-coat¬
ed granules which contain, in a con¬
centrated form, the active principles
of vegetable extracts that Dame Na¬
healthy ture designed action especially to p-iomote a
of the liver, stomach
and bowels.
Among the other improvements
that the brewery w ill bring to Bruns¬
wick will be a large boarding house
which J. Lowenstein wall erect on
lot near the site for the brewery.

We desire to say to your citizens, that fo
rears we have been selling Dr. King’s J New
Discovery Discovery for for Consumption, Consumption, Dr. Dr. King's King's New J
Life Pills, Burklen’s Arnica Salve and Elec¬
tric Bitters, and have never handled remedies
that sell as well, or that have given such uni¬
versal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to .
guarantee them every time, and we stand
ready to refund the purchase price, if satis¬
factory results do not follow their use, These
■medies have won their great popularity
purely on their merits. K. R, Anthony

so take our advice and quit such.
