Brunswick Times. Wonderful indeed are the re sources of Georgia, and right worth ily does she bear the title, "The Empire State of the South.” With her nills teeming with hidden treas ures of gold, iron, coal, and other valuable minerals; her forests full of virgin pines, that furnish the best timber known for building pur poses; her fertile valleys and well cultivated hillsides bearing cropB of golden corn, snowy cotton, wheat, oats, potatoes, peas and nearly all other products known to man; her eities with their mills, workshops and factories and the many other advantages which she possesses in the way of climate, water and citi zenship, she might fitly be called nature's storehouse, for within her borders can be raised almost any thing known to man. A GEORGIA OLIVE GROVE. Few people are there in the State, though, who know that within her confines there is a commercial olive grove. But such is the fact, and that grove is situated right here in (flynn county. A Times reporter met Mr. W. R Slindman, of St. Simon’s, qn the street yesterday and greeted him with, “how is that olive grove “Oh, booming,” was the reply. "I have here a twig off" of one of my trees, which I brought for you to look at. What do you think of those for Georgia raised?” “They are as fine as one need want to see,” answered the reporter as Mr. Shadman handed him the twig, which was about eight inches long and contained sixteen large, well formed, bright colored, half- grown olive, which had every ap pearance of having grown ’neath Italy’s skies. “How many of these trees have you?” “About three acres, and the trees •re just loaded down with them. I will gather an immense crop of them this year. There are not many peo ple in Georgia, comparatively •peaking, who know that there is an olive grove in the State. My grove is the only commercial one east of the Rocky mountains. There •re one or two groves in California, tat the finest they bear will com- pare in no way with those raised tare. Mine are much larger and tatter.” “What do you do with the olives you raise?” “Pickle some of them, but make the larger portion of them into oil. I have on my place now a quantity of the oil that is as nice andclearas can be made anywhere.” COMPARED WITH COTTON. “How does olive growing compare with cotton raising, from a pecuni ary standpoint?” “You can make no comparison, there is so much more profit in the olives. Why, I make 250 gallons of it every year. That readily sells on an average 1 of $5 a gallon, or the total output for $1,250. That is all dear profit, too, for I sell enough to pay all expenses. What three acres can you put in cotton and make it produce a yield of *1,250 clear money? Yes, sir, I find a market for all my oil and pickles.” “Is the soil here adapted to olive culture?” “I should say it was. There is none in the world more adapted to M. Borne of the trees on my place •re eighteen inches in diameter. Bat there is the fruit to show for itself. Look at that twig you have in your hand and you won’t need to ask that question. My trees are set out about thirty feet apart, and it requires no more work to cultivate them than one ought to give to a peach or pear tree.” ANYTHING GROWS IN GEORGIA. “OllveB do well in Georgia or, rather, Glynn county, then ?” “Yes, sir! But as for that any thing will do well here. I have on my place all the fruits commonly grown in the State as well as many of those common in other countries, such as dates, oranges and pecans. My crop of pecans will be good this The treesarejust loaded year also, down with fruit. By-the-way, jie- can culture is going to be a big dustry In Georgia, before many years. Just mark my words.” "How about dates ?” . “They do nicely, too. I haven’t but one tree now. That awful cold spell which we had about five years ago killed all the trees but one. That is enough to propagate from, however, and in a f^w years I will have a grove of these trees also. I could tell you more, but must catch the boat. C'ouie over and see me some time and I will show you over my place.” With this Mr. Shadman was gone and the reporter was left to think of what can be done iu Georgia, anyhow. A great scarcity of colored labor exists at present in Columbus. On account of the numerous industries in the city, laborers are hard to ob tain. There is also a grout scarcity of house servants ami cooks. Suit able white labor is also bard to be obtained, am! from 200 to ::00 more hands could get employment in the different city mills just now. Me chanics, bricklayers, etc., are also very scarce. ! years she withstood tests, but her vital organs were un dermined and death seemed imrni- . neut. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption ami was so much relieved on taking first dose that site slept all night and with one bottle has been miracuously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C.—Get a free trial bottle at Dr. E. J. Eldridge’s Drug Store. 2 The Chalybeate springs, a very valuable property not far from Co lumbus, on the Georgia Midland road, have been disposed of to a gen tleman named Grant from Ohio. About six or eight years ago these springs were the favorite resort in the summer months, and as many as 500 visitors would be there at one time. They were then run by Thompson & Alien, who mortgaged the property to George Comer, of Savannah. Subsequently the mort gage was foreclosed, and the prop erty came into the hands of Mr. Comer. He did not run the springs after the foreclosure, and the conse quence was that they were closed up. The hotel and bath houses are in a state of dilapidation just now, However, Mr. Grant, the new owner, proposes to put the premises in a state of thorough repair during the fall, and to open the springs up in first-class shape next spring. He formerly lived there, and he in tends to spend $50,000 on improve ments, VALUABLE MT LOTS! On the Market.

Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: “lean recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of ten years standing.” Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years’ experience, is Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.

The Barrett stove reserves the principle by which the old- fashioned stove did its work. The fire is placed at the back and near where the stove-pipe is located. The draught and heat has to pass entire ly around the stove before it reaches the flue. The soot is consumed by the fire, and there is no clogging. In appearance the stove resembles one of the ordinary kind with the pipe fitted on the wrong end. All the stove dealers In the city have seen the Barrett stove, and they all pronounce it the best they have ever seen. Buckin'* Arnica Salve.
