Dennard’a Pine Farm—The Natural Grasses—A Country Made for Growing Fine Stuck. Perry is situated in the midst of a splendid farming section. Much of the land is level and adapted to cotton, corn, oats, grasses, melons, grapes, faults, etc., etc. The soil is deep and fertile, end varies in price from five to fifty dollars per acre. The county is well watered by rivulets and creeks, most of which are as clear as crystal. In addition to the creek and smaller streams there are many springs of cool, sparkling freestone water, while wells of excellent water are abundant. A portion of this section is hilly— the altitude being about one hun dred feet above the adjacent level lands. These hlllsabound in marls of different qualities, all of which are valuable substances for fertili zation. The green sand marl, cor responding to that which has caused the lands of New Jersey to produce like a garden, is found in immense quantities at various points in the hilly region. The period is not dis tant when tlie people of Houston and adjacent counties, will learn the intrinsic value of this marl and utilize it as a cheap, certain and en during fertilizer. Caieful analysis shows that this green and marl contains a percentage of phosphoric ncid and a larger percentage of pot ash. It har, a history which de monstrates its excellence os a fer tilizer by results from its use in New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland and other States. Experiments here canuot fail to prove its great value In redeeming worn out lands or giving fertility to such as are naturally barren. This marl is good on any kind of soil, whether sandy, or Hue, and it never causes growing vegetation to burn. In these hills and intervening valleys there are most encouraging indications or phosphate deposits, and the time is near when proper explorations will develop both bone aud mineral phosphates. I regard Houston county as the chief garden spot of Georgia, and now is the period for profitable in vestments in tier lands. This is one of the best portions of the state for fruit culture. The table lands lying ou the summits of the hills are particularly adapted to this purpose os they are reported to he above frost level. These high ta ble lands also produce cotton, corn, cane and other products of the low er portions of the country. STOCK FARM OF MR. K. L. DENNARD. The stock farm of Mr. E. L. Hen na rd, situated three Julies East of l’erry, Is one of the most complete and interesting in the South. It embraces an area of over seven hundred acres af splendid land, nearly all of which is devoted to the production of corn, oats, hay, fodder, etc. Mr. Dennard has fifteen head of thoroughbred stook, embracing staiirons, mares and colts. They are ail standard bred and have been purchased by him to carry out his purpose of raisiug fine stock. That he It succeeding well with ills plan there can bo uo doubt, in view of the fact that his horses at the Macon fair this year won four' first prizes. His celebrated mare, “Cinda,” took the first prize, mak- lug a mile in a trotting race lh two minutes and thirty seconds. Belle, another of hia fine mares, made a mile In two minutes and thirty-eight and one-fourth sec onds, taking also the first prize. Cinda won the first prize in'the style ring at the Macon fair for the most beantifnl and stylish animal. These results are very gratifying to Mr. Dennard, as It 'establishes the fact that he has made no mistake In the selection of bis thorough breds. There is no stock farm in the south that is more complete than this in all of the necessary details. The stables are commodious and constructed on the most approved modern plan. They are kept dry ami clean, and are so arranged that the tenants are constantly supplied with fresh air and with pure water at proper intervals. There is. one of tl.e beet one-half mile tracks on this farm 'hat can be found in the southern states. Mr. Dennard keeps a skilled traiuer in charge of hie stock who looks after them every hour. Auxiliary to this farm he owns another hoily of land lying along the track of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad containing 1,450 acres. This enterprising gentleman spares no expense required for the success of his plans. He has al ready demonstrated that Houston county is as well adapted to the breeding and raising of fine horses as any other section, and is setting an example in this line worthy to be imitated. The residence of Mr. Dennard is a beautiful and imposing structure, furnished in a style of princely ele gance, and supplied with every modern convenience. Its position oommauds a view of his extended fields, stables and beautiful turf. From hie front veranda his colts and horses in training can be seen moving as gracefully as gazelles. AN UNAPPROPRIATED STOCK FARM. In traveling over Houston county I have made special examinations of many localities, noting the pecu liar advantages of certain farms for stock raising. That of the Hon. C. G Duncan, lying about four miles southeast of Perry in the bend ot Big Indian creek, and near the junction' of this beautiful stream and Limestone creek, le probably better adapted to this purpose tbau any place in the county. The tract contains eighteen hundred acres of fertile land, a large portion of which le creek bottom, as level as a plain, aDd nearly all in cultivation this year. A variety of native grasses grows to perfection on the botfom land, furnishing succulent and nutritious food for cattle aud horses, aud the finest bay when mown in season. Besides these grasses there are caue brakes, which are unsurpassed as winter ranges for stock of all kinds. The streams on which this farm is sit uated supply abundant water, which can be conveyed to any part of the tract at small expense. This place extends to the Geor gia, Southern and Florida railroad and lias a side track, which is the property of Colonel Duncan. I learn that the entire farm can be purchased at a fair price and on liberal terms, or that the owner will enter into a partnership witli any approved parson who desires to engage in raising stock. Here, then, is an excellent opportunity for some enterprising man to cm bark in a pleasant and profitable business. The property is well im proved in the way of residence, stable, barns, etc. UNCLAIMED MILLIONS. FORTUNES IN THE HANDS OF PUB LIC ADMINISTRATORS. How to Manago Farm Labor. It looks as If Col. Albert H. Cox, the Atlanta lawyer, who farms in Morgan county, had pretty well solved tlie difficult problem of suc cessfully managing colored farm labor, says Col. J. V. Avery in the (Southern Cultivator. His plan is original, and has panned out well for himself. He handles his plan tation as lie speaks, and that is say ing a good deal. He took a large farm as a debt that he could not save otherwise, that was rather run down, and u season or two under the old system left him in a had fix. His trouble was unreliable labor. He could 1101 eell or abandon. He must devise a way to use the colored help profiia bly. And he did. He solved the problem. He made good crops. He brought up his laud. He did so well, he bought more land. He has 2,000 broad acres now that blossom in' crops. The clarion talker has be come a practical farmer and a grow ing Btock raiser. Here is bis plan.•Simple aud sharp it le, and one wonders some sharp fellow did not hit on it be fore. He contracts for good monthly wages, $8, $10 and $12 and feed. He only pays half in cash, reserving the other half til the end of the year. The $8 hand, for instance, gets $4 a month down, and waits until the year Is up for the other $4, The $4 and bis feed run him. The debt of the master to him grows $4 monthly, and six months is $24, getting bigger# aud holding him faster every month. When harvest comes, from the ofier of larger temporary wages, he is tied fast, because if he leaves he, under the contract, forfeits his accumu lated and growing half of his earn- able wages. He does not leave. His Interest in things is a tremcn- dious stimuious and clamp. That I $40 at the end bolds him like a vice. I It makes the hand steady, Indus- I trlous, reliable, Immovably dutch-1 ed. It gives the farmer a worker j he can depend on, and that Im proves. This plan Is good Itself, square business,land has worked like a charm. There are*sqme other things about Gut’s forming that will do to tell, bat they will have to wait yntll next time. Strange Searches for llelni to Large Fortunes In Brooklyn—A Strange Dis appearance—The Fanil In Charge or the State Treasurers Keeps Increasing. Speaking roughly there is nt the pres ent time over $5,000,000 in hard cash in the hands of the various state treasurers in this country awaiting the claim of legal heirs. This large amount has been deposited with the treasurers from time to time by public administrators. Of this $5,000,000 the New York state treas urer'has abont $250,000, and nlthongh he pays ont now and then certified claims from the administrative fund it keeps steadily increasing in a ratio with the population of the state. The pnblic administrator of Brooklyn furnishes the following cases from his record liooks: Thomas WilRon sold newspapers in Brooklyn's Twentieth ward for a gener ation. His routo was on aristocratic one, comprising such ctrccts as Clinton and Clermont avennes, in which are the homes of millionaires. He peddled his wares in all sorts of weather, appeared on the streets in rain and shino every day and far into the night, and even mode a feeble attempt to brave the fury of,the big blizzard of March 12,1888. Ho had no friends, no confidants, no as sociations, and he lodged in the attic of a miserable tenement house. Ono day in the spring of 1889 his legs refused to carry him along his ronte, and he went for succor and shelter to the Brooklyn hospital. Hero he was warned that he had bnt a short time to live and was told to com municate with his friends, if he had any. Old Tom shook his head negatively and died that night without making a eign. Five bank books were fonnd under his pillow, showing threo or four thou sand dollars to his credit in different in stitutions. The administrator could learn nothing about him in the banks, where he had told different stories abont him self. It is thonght ho was of Swedish origin and that his real name was Nil- son, not Wilson. THE CASE OF LANGIER. Then there was Joseph Langier, a name common enough in the south of France, in Marseilles especially. Langier was also a solitary man, living—or, rather, grabbing—in an Atlantic nvenne garret. He paid tho janitor a dollar a month for his miserable room. He went ont and he come in, spoko to nobody and answered questions by shaking or nod ding his head. One day he went forth for the last time—staggered and fell at tho next corner, was taken into a saloon, thence conveyed in an ambulance to Long Island College hospital, where he died after a few hoars. In tho pockets of his coat were fonnd bonds, mortgages and bank hooks worth $17,000 to tho owner, also a will drawn np in excellent legal phraseology and written in a beautiful hand. His signa ture was affixed to the will, bnt it locked the names of witnesses. So careful had he been in preparing the instrument that he affixed on explanatory para graph, underlined in red ink. In n codi cil ho revokes thi will, so that he really died intestate. Rumor says Langier's heir is a nephew living in Marseilles, a sister's son, whom, if tho administrator could locate, would inherit $17,000. William Cato is another of the great intestate for whose heirs the adminis trator is looking. Cato was no tramp or news vender. Ho was a marine in the service of tho United States, and had been one for such a length of timo that i he had only a vague memory of what he had been twfore. His comrades hod an idea that ho was Scotch, and that is nil they could tell about him. Ho died sud denly whilo still in the service, leaving $1,000 or so ho had saved out of his small = New Firm.

Patrick Gresham lived on Third ave nue, near Forty-sixth street. South Brooklyn, and was in good circum stances. His wife died in the spring of 1889, and the loss drove him crazy. A week later lie committed suicide. He left a good deal of property to which hia little 4-year-old duughtor was heiress. His brother, a well to do New York car riage builder, was the legal guardian of tho little girl, bnt there happened just then to he in the house a sister of the child's mother. She was on a visit from Ireland, and had arrived just in timo to seo her sister die. The night of tho day Cresham committed suicide the aunt took the little girl stealthily out of her bed and out of the house, wont over to New York, and on the morning follow ing sailed for Queenstown in the Um bria. Mr. Cresham, the undo and legal gnardian, reported the theft to the po lice, and they cabled to Queenstown to have the aunt arrested on her arrival in that port. Now.it happened that owing to a great storm the Umbria could not put in at Queenstown, and so went di rectly on to Liverpool, where no police were waiting for a handsome lady of the name of Miss Crowo and her 4-vear-old niece. Miss Crowo and the child are still in Europe, and the legal fight has not yet been decided.—New York Tele- gram.
