1 * ” " “•*- Secnringa comfortable boardinghouse,
we proceeded to take in the town and en
joy the fish and oysters which were serv
ed up at every meal. As we were treat
ed to venison, we came to the conclusion
that fcame as Well as fish was plentiful
and therefore a pleasant place for sports-
men to paes a week. We sat on the
wharves and fished and watched the lit
tle fleot of oyster boats come in frdrn the
b.ty loaded down with large and luscious
bivalves, and occasionally sampled them
on the half shell, seasoned with a little
pepper-sauce. We went down to the
beach and watched the youngsters play
in tbo sand and listened to what tbe wild
waves were saying.
One afternoon we went to the oyster
enuning factory and witnessed the opera
tion of canning. jTheoysters in the shells
are shoveled form the boat into iron bas
kets holding about a bushel uud a half,
and then the baskets are placed in a 1 irge
tank shut up tightly, steam turned on in
the tank until tho oysters open tlieir
shells. The oysters are then transferred
to a long table, alongside of which are
ranged a number of negro women and
hoys, who Uke the oysters from the shell
and place them in gallon buckets. The
oysters are tbeu taken to another room,
where they are placed in cans und sub
jected to another steaming iu a large iron
tank. The tops aro thou placed on tho
cans and soldered down, when they are
placed iu another tank and again steamed
this time to see that the cans do not leak.
The cans arJ then taken to another rcutn
where the tops are lacquered, the labels
pasted on and tho cans packed in boxes
for shipment. The factory employs
about forty bands and puts up about
2500 cans per day. The proceas is sub
stantially the same os for canning fruits
and vegetables. We inquired of the pro-
prietors, Messrs. Hunter A Smith,
Gaines, and soon after breakfdst we made
a landing and took on wood. The river
here was deep and flowed between high
banks, sq we could see little of the coun
try on either side. Along the river's edge
was a growth of cane and cypress, the
latter being covered with Spanish moss,
aud we here remark that while many
writers havo gono wild over the weird ef
fect of this moss hanging in fe»toons from
the trees, to us it conveys such an id« a of
death and desolation that we wtuld wil
lingly forego any further wight of it.
Down as far as Chattahooche fue
character of the country on either
side of tho river is much tho same. The
monotony of the ride was broken by fre
quent landings, where were taken on
bales of cotton and taken off merchan
dise. At most of these landings there
was bat a house or two, the towns lying
beck from one to tbreo miles, while in
many places it looked ns if the bout bad
got tired of tbe water and was about to
take to the woods, tbe bow plunging in
among the branches of troes as it swung
np alongside the bank.
Night fonud us at -Chattahoochee land
ing, about a mile from the town, where
the Jacksonville, Pensacola & Mobilo
railroad crosses the river. A large
arnonnt of freight was taken on hero for
Ap&lachioola, it being the nearest railioad
point. A large amount of cotton was un
loaded here, to go by railroad to New
York. During the past season a bitter
It was Monday morning when wo reach
ed Fort Ctatnee, and findingthatwe would
arrive in Eafanla too late to catoh the
train, we got off, Climbing aome lixty
steps In tbe face of a steep blnff, we took
tbe omulbuH for the fown. Fort Games
lies some sixty or aeventy feet above tbe
river, and is a handsome little town,show
ing signs of growth and improvement.
We spent n few pleasant hours here, dur
ing which we called on Brn. Lewis of
the Tribune and fouud him a genial gen
tleman. Fort Gaines also has its artesian
well derriok and no well.
Taking the train at Fort Gaines, we
rau up to Cutbbert, where after a short
wait wo took the Southwestern train and
were soon home, well pleased with our
trip anil glad to get back to Americus,
the handsomest little city in the South.
As others may wish to take this short,
enjoyable and cheap trip, we will say for
their benefit that the expense of the trip,
including fare, passage on the boat, ho
tel bills and hack hire, for nine days,
was $18.00. The round trip can be made,
stopping four or five hours in Apalaohi-
cola, for $12.00. The Central line of
stoamers are large, with well furnished
cabins, comfortablo state rooms and set a
good table, while the officers are al|
courteous and attentive. Wo do not
know of a more dolightful trip that can
bo taken for S3 little money.

Religious Revival.
During the past teu days Americus
has experienced a decided religious revi.
val through the labora of Kev. E. D
Guerrant. of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Guer-
rant is a Presbyterian evangelist and has
wonderful powers as an earnest preach
er. He imbues his Audience with his
deep feeling and carries them with him
in his earnest appeals for a better and
purer life* While he is a Presbyterian,
he is not a sectarian, and bis labors seem
to be to oall tbe people to Christ, and not
particularly to the churoh be represents—
so far from it is he that ho edvises the
young to join the church to which their
parents belong. Through his labors
seme forty persona were converted, most
of them joining tbe Presbyterian church.
His meetings, both afternoon and even
ing. were largely attended and the great
est interest was manifested, Such reviv
als of religious interest are always of the
greatest benefit, as they have under them

Apalachicola is a town of 1COO inhabi
tants, built on a dreary Waste of white
sand, and in appearance la the deadest
town we over set foot iu. Except upon
the arrival of a boat, when a large propor
tion of the population flocks down to tho
wharf, the town soems to hr buried in a
Rip Von Winkle Bleep. Lrrgo blocks of
brick buildings lie in ruins, having been
blown down by a cyclone some years ago.
Vet this same town was, years ago, before
the advent of railroads, one of the most
prosperous and busy of tire cities ou the
Golf, lo those, i's psl oieet, days it was
tire great market and supply depot for
tho whole Chattahooolreo valley. All tho
cotton of Southwest Georgia Bud Sooth-
eastern Alabama was brought down tho
Turned Up.
Mr. D. E. Fonder, of Webster eounty,
who so mysteriously disappeared for a

swollen by recent rains, it being about
fourteen feet higher than when we went
down and filled with floating driftwood.
Sunday was a rainy nnd gloomy day, but
iu the comfortable cabin and staterooms
of tbe steamer we spent tho time com-
lortnbly and pleasantly iu reading and
conversation. And right here is a good
plaso to remark that a more comfortable
