TERRY MTg CO.. Nashville. Tehw
OOP.
Perry is situated iu tbe midst of a
splendid farming section. Much of
the land is level sod adapted to
cotton, corn, oats, grasses, melons,
grapes, faults, etc., etc. The soil Is
deep and fertile, and varies in
price from five to fifty dollars per
acre. The county is well watered
by rivulets and oreeks, most of
which are as dear as crystal. In
addition to the creek and smaller
streams there are tuany springs of
cool, sparkling freestone water,
while wells of excellent water are
abundant.
A portion of this section is hilly—
the altitude beiug about one hun
dred feet above tbe adjacent level
lands. These billsabound 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 no.t dis
tant when the people of Houston
and adjacent counties, will learn
the intrinsic value of this marl and
utilize it as a cheap, certaiu and en
during fertilizer. Cat eful analysis
shows that this green and marl
contains a percentage of phosphoric
acid and a larger percentage of pot
ash. It bar. a history which de-
raonstrates Its excellence as a fer
tilizer by results from its use in
New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland
and other States. Experiments
here cannot fail to prove its great
value in redeeming worn out lauds
or giving fertility to such as are
naturally barren. This marl is
good on any kind of soil, whether
sandy, or line, and it never causes
growing vegetation to burn.
In these hills and intervening
valleys there are most encouraging
Indications o' phosphate deposits,
and the time is near when proper
explorations will develop both
bone and mineral phosphates,
1 regard Houston county as the
chief garden spot of Georgia, and
now is tbe period for profitable In
vestments in her lands. This is
one of the best portions of the state
for fruit culture. The table lands
lying on the summits of the bills
are particularly adapted to this
purpose as they are reported to be
above frost level. These high ta
ble lands also produce cotton, corn
cane add other products of the low
er portions of the country.
STOCK FARM OF MR. E. L. DENNARD.
Tbo stock farm of Mr. E. 1>. Den-
Hard, situated three miles East of
Perry, is one of tbe most complete
and interesting in the South. It
embraces an area of over seven
hundred acres of splendid land
nearly all of which is devoted to
tbe produotlon of corn, oats, bay,
fodder, etc.
Mr. Dennsrd has fifteen head
of thoroughbred stock, embracing
stallions, mares and colts. They
are all standard bred and have been
purchased by him to'carry out his
purpose of raising fine stock.
That he is succeeding well with
his plan there can be no doubt, in
view of the fact that his horses at
the Macon fair this year won four
first prizes. His celebrated mare,
“Oinda,” took the first prize, mak
ing a mile in a trotting race in two
minutes and thirty seconds.
Belle, another of bis fine mares,
made a mile in two minutes and
thirty-eight and one-fourth sec
onda, taking also the first prize.
Cinda won the first prize in the
style ring at the Macon fair for the
most beautiful and stylish animal,
These results are very gratifying to
Mr. Dennard, as It establishes the
fact that be has made no mistake
in the selection of bis thorough
breds.
There la no stock farm in the
south that Is fnore 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
and 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 the best one-half mile tracks on
this farm that can be found in the
southern states.
Mr. Dennard keeps a skilled
trainer in charge of his stock who
looks after them every hour.
Auxiliary to this farm he owns
another body of land lying aloug
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 lias 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 prinoely ele
gance, and supplied with every
modern convenience. Its position
commands a view of bis extended
fields, stables and beautiful turf.
From his front veranda his colts
and horses iu training can be seen
moving as gracefully as gsielles.
AN UNAPPROPRIATED STOCK FARM.
Jo traveling overjHouston county
I have made special examinations
of many localities, noting tbe pecu
liar advantages of certain farms for
stock raising. That of the Hon. C.
C. Duncan, lying about four miles
southeast of Perry In the bend
Big Indian creek, and near tbe
junction of tbie beautiful stream
and Limestone creek, is probably
better adapted to this purpose than
any place in tbe county. .Tbe tract
contains eighteen hundred acres
fertile land, a large portion
which Is creek bottom, as level as
plain, and nearly all in cultivation
this year. A variety of native
grasses grows to perfection on the
bottom laud, furnishing succulent
and nutritious food for cattle and
horses, and tbe finest bay when
mown in season. Besides these
grasses there arc cane 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.
Tilts place extends to the Geor<
gla, Southern and Florida railroad
and has a side truck, 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 with
any approved person who desires
to engage iu raising stock. Here,
then, is an excellent opportunity
for some enterprising man to em<
bark in a pleasant and profitable
business. The property is well itu-
proved In tbe way of residence,
stable, barns, etc.
THE CONVENING OF CONGRESS.
Fresldsnt Harrison Makes Campaign
Matter For the Democrats.
Special to RacoBDxn.
Washington, D. C. Dec. 1.—
President Harrison’s messages con-
tains but one feature of impor
tances.
He advises Senate to pass the
force bill and repeats the charges
of last message that fraud is prac
ticed in Southern elections. He
speaks out in favor of, federal re-
turning boards In place of certifies
tion by state ofllcers. Tbe balance
of the message is devoted to tbe
condition of the government and
there is a paragraph In which lie
■ays, the people when they under
stand the McKinley bill will on-
dorse it. He advises against any
changes in the bill.
There was much enthusiasm
among the democrats of the House
to-day when Mr. Breckeurldge, of
Arkansas, was sworn in.
The Force bill will be called up
In tbe Senate to-morrow by Hoar,
who says it will pass before tbe end
of tbe session.
The demoorats are, however, pre
pared to light it to the eud.

Tbe hand organ .connected with

That is, no more In reality, though
many for weeks to come will go to

Heaven that those Campbells had
never started on that journey or
would hurry up and get here.
This applies with great force to
The Recorder night force. For
weeks the pulling of the little en
gine, the grinding of the organ and
the jabbering of tbe crowd have
furnished Inspiration for. editors,'
printers, proof readers and all. So
used have we become to keeping
time to the music that tbe printers
would not work laat night until
they found a music box playing the
same airs they have learned so
well.
Everything wse done by music.
If anything Is ssld the voice must
be pitched in tbe seme key. When
the foreman gets a proof ( he comes
skipping in, “The foreman Is com'
ingwlth a proof, Oh-ho!” Then
the proof reader sings, “Just lsy it
down there, Oh-ho, oh-ho!”
This shows how demoralizing a
thing some sorts of so-called music
ore.
It might be interesting to notea
few of the expressions Hosting
around the office in regard to hand
organs iu general and this one In
particular, but they would hardly
look well spelled out, and two em
dashes might not be filled out
properly.
