Editor Recorder:—Your corres pondent is “away down upon the Ctmctawhatchle, far, far away!” in the fast growing and beautiful little town of Gencrn, Alabama, in short distance of the Florida line, and a sweet feeling for tliedavs that are gone of old Georgia and her people and Atnericus, well up in my heart as I write you from South east Alabama, and give your read ers an account of our state, our lands, our pcoole and our pure bright skies, for no inattor where we roam, whether in one state or another, it is our own sunny south land that is dear to all cur hearts. There aru few towns south that has a brighter future before it that Genera, the place from which I write. Situated on the Chactaw- hatcliic River, and having a direct communication by boat with the Pensacola & Atlantio Railroad to Caryville, twenty miles lrom Geneva, Ala, and from thence by cars to Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, Geneva’s commercial ad- van tagesy on can see are good. This year much of the cotton from the upper counties of Dale, Coffee and Henry has come to Geneva, and in another season much of the cot. ton which has gone to Trey and Eufauia will come to Genera and go from .’hero to Savannah and New Orleans. You correspondent has recently been up in Dale.md Coffee counties noiith of here, and tUqru saw, great sighs ot improvement among the farmers. I saw fat pigs, fat horses and cribs full of home made corn and fodder. Newton and Elba are pretty little towns, and while there I saw some of the finest water power in America. I have visited twenty States in the Union, seen the One water power at Fall River and Columbus, but havo never seen anything to. excell the excellent water power at Elba and Newton for the purpose of manufacturing cotton. What they need here capital to make this ono of the richest and most prosperous coun tries in Amcricn. This will apply to all of out Southern States, and let us hope the day will come when capital and immigration will look Sou. hward, and people, Instead of “going west” will go south. In these counties of Geneva, Dale, Coffee and Henry: from where I write, are thousands of acres of public land, which can be entered cheap by any one who wishos a home in a good healthy a :d pros perous portion of Alabama. Let us invite capital and immi "ration to our border, a thing that the South has too much neglected. Florida and Texas have Bureaus of Immigration, and Alabama and Georgia have done but little in this way, and look at the result in Florida and Texas. Our city of Genera is rapidly Oiling up and many new enterprises, have started j here. Messrs. McLaughlin k Mar- ’ tin have here one of tho.bcst tur pentine stills in the South and have muck money .invested and a large force at work on.(tho east side of Ckoctawhatckic, east of Geneva. There is One timber here, snd the best pine torest I ever saw. The New Year 1884 will open with bright prospects for the pco. pie of the South, and let us hope and strive to make the future of TIDINUS FROM TIFTO.V ' Tiinroir, Gk, Deo. 17, *88 Judge iGoodmao, of Na*hvllle/ls being initiated in the art ot catch ing suckers.

The Gypsies left two mules and a wagon to settle their law suit. During a fifty mile ride through the county I observed but one field ol oats. They were up and looking well. Near this l*rm, which is near Flat Creek Mills, I crossed one small stream whioli was running. This was the only water except a few puddles la the Withlsooochee river, and a couple of mill ponds, that I saw outside the few wells which have not gone dry. Fishing with seines and hooks has become the rage of late, in the Alapaha and Little river lakes. Another tournament is to be held at Ty Ty in a short timo. George Fletcher will be there. The Irascibility ol one of our citizens has been provoked by the loss ot a skote, and he has entered suit against the B. & W. R. E., for the rocovery of damages, by levy ing on the big warchou3o scales at Tifton. Ono hundred dollars reward is offered for the parties who recently placed obstructions on the B. & W. R. R., near this place. On Sunday, 7th inst., an S. F. & W. train collided with the eastward bound passenger on the B. ft W. at Waycross, knocking down the depot ami killing a negro boy. Parties arc burning a brick-kiln at Riverside. Steve Roberts, a well-known teacher, died in Worth county Tuesday, with cancer on tho tongue. Lewis Jones, colored, had $60 stolen from him Wednesday.

We have been busy with other duties and have left our column to other pens and regret that a want of time at this hour brings us thus briefly before you. The sale of all personal property belonging to the estate of R. C. Martin has occupied the time of those interested for the last several days, the particulars of which we will be pleased to give you in our next, for wc “take it” that the dis position of property at times like these should interest every one. Wc are pleased to sec so many of our friends from the county in attendance. Wc love to meet you and exchange views and discuss coming events and tuturo prospects. Wc are encouraged, I am proud to say, by those living in the More land settlement, in tho cutting out of a road direct to them.

Left a wife and six children to mourn his death. He was a comparatively young mu, only thirty-seven or tbirty-oigfat years old. He was a member of the Knights of Honor, with a policy for two thousand dollars, with all dues paid up, which his family will receive in 80 or 60 days. To his wife and fondly and relatives we tender the sympathy of tKe entire community. Rev.
