V. opril twA Dawson, Oa., April 22d, 1884.— To day Is somewhat ootl for this season of the year, nevertheless, we do not anliclpete a frost, or weather cold enough to injure vege tation. The month of April, 1849, brought a frost that hilled all vege tation in Southwcslern Georgia, but wu do not (ear this year repetition of tho same kind. The outlook is simply magnltlcent at this time for farming matters A visit to the home orchard of Judge James M. Simmons in this plane almost “bewildered" m$ with the sight of the countless green fruit that overloaded the trees. The super abundance of young peaches upon the, peach tre s and the uniipe fruit upon pear and oth er fruit trees proved to your cor respondent that Southwestern Georgia would this year “take the cake" In matters of fruit. A stroll to the “fowl yard" of this same gentlemen showed the handy work of a house-wife. The sight of 186 growing chickens, all of them raised in the yard proved, that “fowl cul ture” could be made a success here at home, that is it our house-wives take sufllcicnt interest in the mat ter. A mine of wealth is at our doorB if wo would only lake in the situation properly. This little city took in the tern pcrance question Inst Snnday night. At that time the Hon. T. B. Dema rco, of Kentucky, delivered a lec ture on that theme. After tho ad dress a lodge of Good Templars was formed, consisting of ninety- two members, with Prof. J. W. F. Lowrey as Worthy Chief Templar. The “blue ribbon” now is worn by many of our best citizens. A few months ago 1 prohibition” was whipped out in this county, now we will try “moral sunsion.” There is a lcaturc connected with the college here that deserves no- tice: The commercial department, under the charge of Prof. B. 0. Adams. The boys of this section of the Suite need not go far from home to acquire a good business education, for hero it is at their doors, and by the way, you have a graduate of this department in your city, Clyde Toole, who is a first- class book-keeper, manages the in terests of the large warehouse of Toole, McGarrnh &. Tondce. The military feature is also con ■iccted with the collcgo in a com pany called the Dawson College Guards. This command is under the charge of Capl. B. C. Adams and is well drilled, and is armed witli the improved wcapous—tho breech-loading rifle. The peoplo of Dawson ought to foster this military company forawell organiz ed military organization is a "right arm of defense”--ready for all emergencies. A Ccn'enniai celebration of the Methodist Sunday school here, will take place on tho second Sunday in May. An address at that time will bo delivered by Mr. A. S. J. Henderson a young and talented lawyer of this city. Tbc exorcises bid fair to be of great interest. Tbe pastor of tho Methodist church here, Kcv. P. S. Twitty, be sides bis reputation as an efficient minister, is also a good newspaper man. At a meeting a few nights ago he successfully managed the claims of bis church organ, “Tbe Wesleyan Christian Advocate," placing that paper io all families of the church here who have never taken it Mr. Twitty with four laymen obligated themselves to extend its circulation that way for definite time.

The people here and elsewhere are kept in a constant state of fear of the “dreadful cyclone.” On last Saturday night the incessant hard rain, loud thunder and vivid lightning roused everybody, and at the hour of midnight the flitting lights in tho houses showed great trepidation on tbe part of tbe In mates. We are talking railioad hero too —time with us will show more than talk. We are going to have anoth er railroad out'et, and don't you forget it. *We see that you have applied for a charter (or tho Ameri cas, Preston and Lumpkin railroad, Now, that looks like business. Success to you. In your “Pen Points," you re ferred to "Capt. Shader”—“floral display” und “tho most beautiful lady in Americus.” Who is the most beautiful girl in Americus? For pretty girls Dawson oan beat tbe world. On that line we can beat your city with its beautiful women. W. K. P. MERRY MOULTRIE. Moultbik, Ga., April 14th.— Quarterly Conference, Snd quar ter Moultrie Mission M. E. C. S., wss held here Monday 8th Inst. A church was organized here with a fair number of members. The old court house was purchased by the church and will be conveyed to the church lot as soon aa practicable. Preachers Anthony, B. E. Calla way, Boston and Wells, of Tullokos, besides several local ministers, were present. Aaron Daniels, whom I lately reported as having been found dead in the woods, left one brother. He, bearing of his brother’s demise, came here to inquire into theafTair. [ie found that everything bod been done that could bo and left satis fied. In conversing with him I learned that their father dropped dead under wonderfully similar circumstances, ne, too, was driv. ing an ox eart, and was nearly the same distnoco from bis home at the time ot Ills death. Live Oak school, five miles north of tills place, closed Saturday. There was a fair attendance of pu pils, patrons and visitors. Tbe ex amination was very creditable. 3pccches were made by most of tbe boys, and recitations and composi tions by the girls. Col. Patterson made a stirring spoeoli to tbe school and your correspondent, blushing- ly, took the floor after tho Colonel got through. I mado a doep im pression on the minds of my bearers. The audience was held spell bound during my unintermiUing stream of oratory, and sighs of relief were heard on every hand when I wound Col. P. said lie hoped my style of rhetorio was not catching. Trade is awful dull, but the “com mons of Moultrie” are green as a wheat Held, and the oaks are all putting on their spring bonnets, the chokoy berries are in bloom, the succulent fennel is lifting Its frazry head, the frisky martin is banting a friendly gourd on a pole where its nest may be located, tbc red head woodpecker is hunting for worrums in tbo old trees which ho canvassed last ye tr ere lie went on his Southern tour, and tbo voice of the deep toned bumble bee is heard in the land. Tho bull bats have also come and bird shot are looking up. Mud cats are ripe, humming birds flutter from flower to flower and butterflies flit trom flitter to flitter; and spring—bilious intermittent spring is here, and don’t let it cscapo your memory. Crops are looking very well. Many are planting cotton, some are plowing corn, and some are, as usual, watting on tbe moon. We bad a sharp frost oa tho 9 th instant. Sunday Schools are budding. There are eigne of the twigs and tender buds of courtship putting forth their green and bloom, espe cially the greon. A debating elnb is agitating the brilliant intellect of young Moul trie. - Picnics are looming up in the dim and distant future. Quite a tumultous law suit was underway last week, but all is quiet along the Big Injun today, general compromise settled it. M. M. F. . qUTMIX COUNTY. Hatches Station, April 22 On Saturday ulglit last we were threat ened wLb another heavy blow; tbe electric display was fearfully beau tiful. The writer was up until one o'clock waiting tbc arrival of num- bor four pns9eugcr train en route from Montgomery to Macon and witnessed the movements of tbe clouds, which could be seen plainly by tbo aid ofthc continuous light ning. For an hour or two it looked fearful, and all who have storm pits adopted the old vulgar phrase “rats, to your hole.” A gentleman whose pit bal been filled with wa ter was so anxious to get himself nnd family into it, they dissenting on account of the water, be as a last argument proposed that he would get in, lie down, and allow his wife and children to sit on him until tho storm passed, but ho was unsuc cessful, so all remained in the bouse and was very agicably disappoint ed, for tho tho storm did not cutnc. Quito a quantity of water fell dur ing the night, but ao gently aa to do no damage, except in rendering the soil too wet for plowing. It was an advantage to cotton coming up, especially to the hard lands, which were badly crusted from tbe heavy rain a few days before. Tbe improvement Id the oat crop la so slow that farmers have about despaired of a crop of that import ant cereal. The stand of cotton seem to bejsatisfnctory throughout the country. According to previous uolice : notwithstanding tho rainy morning, quite a number assombleu at Mont- (cello school house for tbe purposo of organizing a Sunday school. J. E. Smith was called to tbe chair and J. Lanier at soeretary. On motion of W. J. 0. Uarrel, J. E. Smith was eicoted superintendent of tbo edliool and J. M. Lanier secre tary and treasurer. Forty-three names were enrolled as members, with quite a number yet to come. Tbe school appointed the superin tendent ns a committee to procure literature for tbe sebool. Mueh enthusiasm pervaded the meeting, which will doubtless .develop Itself into a flourishing school at Monti- cello near Hatcher Station. God speed tbe good work. Mrs. Allen, of Thomoavllle, Ga., proposes to visit relatives and friends In tlds county and spend some with them during tbe coming summer. Dr, J. W. Mercer and lady took in the flremanic tournament In Ms- eon last week, and were delighted with tho exercise of tho firemen. Quitman. A newspaper correspondent writes that there is not a chimney any whore in Mexico, ns far oa has seen, and their absence gives an odd aspeet to the architecture, like that of Arabian towns. No house has a fire-place or a move, for it ie never cold, but the kitchen is equip ped with a sort of uncsinly brick or atone ramie, tea or fifteen feet long, having boles for pots and kettles and in which' charcoal is' burned. The fumes escape by tbe open doors and windows. Charcoal it almost the only fuel in Mexico, except in tbe Northern States. The Le Conte Fear. Wajreros- Report»r. Wo Imvo from time to time had much to say'of this truly wonderful pear. And it always gives uspleM* uro to speaker it, because we are satisfied of what the results will be when.our people wake up to a reali zation of the wonderful production and profit there is ln.it. Tbe day will come, and is not far distant, when a pear orchard ofb-!- - tweuty,fifty-or 100 acres, in South ern Georgia will be estimated k» ing equally ns valuable as so many acres in an orange grove in South Florida. You may say, not sol Let us apply tho figures and see how it looks. In. South Florida lauds near trnsportation are generally worth from $50 to $150 per icre. norc, right on the lines of transpor tation, they are worth from one to Gro dollars per acre after the timber has been taken off by the mill men. This is a -wondcrfiil difference to etart out with. But let us now consider the difference in tbe coat of Starting a grove, estimating the samo number of trees per acre, say fifty—and rootlets tho same price as the seedling orange-say 25 oents each or $12.50 per aero, and 50acret of land, nt $5 per acre—for land $2C0,.trpcs $025, total $815—the putting out at the sabib cost as or ange trees. The difference in cost to start with, 50 acres of land at $50 per acre, $2,500, trees $025, total $3,125. Tho fertilizingand attention nec essary to bring tbe pear to tbe bearing state, is not more than one- third of that of tbo orange, to say nothing of what can be realized from the cuttings that can be root ed each year, and sold at a year old, for 25 cents each. At live years old the pear commenced to bear, and it will be putting it low »n mir flint llin f pnne will !uiar «n tony that the trees mil bear an average of oncbusbelpcrtree,which nt $1 per bushel would be at the rate of $50 per acre. At-»Jxyear old they will average at least live bushels per tree, at ten year old they are in full, bearing and will average from ten to fifteen busbcls portree. Now it will behornein mind that we ure making the very lowest esti mates for the pear, they having never sold in the markets, that we bavo heard of, for less than $4 per bushel, while they brought as much as $12 per bushel in Boston. Tbe orange requires close and careful attention from the time thoy are Bet and commence to bear as from ton t > twelve years of age witfi tho uncertainties of being in jured by cold blight aod insect, nonooi which affect the pear, while the income under tbe most favora ble circumstances are no greater, per aero, after -they come to tbe etato than tho pear. . He Does Not Need to Bo After Hit Money. In reply to an idqulry of a report er Mr. G. Goldsmith' (one of our best known Jewish citizens), Did .you ever win anything before? He replied: O’r, yes I now and then. I oncowon $1,250 In a German Lot tery, and have won small sums at odd times In the Louisiana State Lottery. Will you visit New Orleans for the purpose of collecting your money (alluding to $15,000. the one • fifth of tho capital prize In Tbe Louisiana Stato Lottery, on Tuesday, March II, on ticket No. 1-1,407). No? wo have deposited tbe ticket with the Columbus. (Mia.) Insurance and Banking Co. for eol- lection. It is sure enough. The draft was promptly honored.—Ex tract from tho Columbus (Mi»e..i Dispatch, March 14th, 1884. Tho Quinologist announce* that tho numerous cfnchoua gardens commenced five or six years age in Java will soon begin to yield, and bark may be expected to take a prominent position in the list ol exports from that island. In 1881 tho number of new trees in tbe unr- scries was 730,600, and.in 1889,1.- 205,800. The trees in tho tion numbered 2,107,380 in 1881,- and 2,099,400 in 1882.
